A Tsinghua University student's online stories have moved many people to tears. With the help of scholarships(奖学金),he overcame many difficulties in life and tried to give back to society in return.
According to the student's record,he was awarded a total of 13,000 yuan through a scholarship for the poor students. Besides tuition(学费)and other fees,he was left with just 6,500 yuan,which included all his cost in a year. He lived on a hard life with only about 400 yuan a month,eating simply in the dining hall and avoiding class outings which cost more money.
In his second term,he found himself a teaching job near the university. The work helped him make 100 yuan an hour,letting him get 2,000-3,000 yuan a month. The student was not ready to spend up his money and he was really careful with that.
He didn't forget those who helped him. To express his gratitude , the student sent two hand-written letters to the company and the foundation that helped him every year,telling them about his studies and career plans. He would sometimes make a short video for the company,sending them birthday wishes.
He made up his mind to give back to society in return. After entering graduate school,he decided in turn to give away his hard-earned money to students in need. He gives away 3,200yuan to four students every term through a charity organization.
"Having received help myself,I believe I should give back to help match the kindness,"he said. "I hope one day I can set up a foundation like my fellow Tsinghua University schoolmates to help people in need. "
