Long Haifen, from Xinghe village in the mountains of Southwest China's Guizhou province, is now a freshman at Huazhong Agricultural University (HZAU) in Central China's Hubei province. While she may seem like an ordinary student, she represents the strong bond between her hometown and the university, as well as the transformative power of education and compassion. In July 2002, Xu Benyu, then a junior student at HZAU, volunteered to teach in the rural areas of Guizhou during his summer break.
