　　It is understood that Guohua Memorial High School was founded by Country Garden Group founder and board chairman Yang Guoqiang and co-chairman Yang Huiyan in 2002 with a donation of 260 million yuan. It is the country’s first purely charitable, all-free, and all-boarding private high school established in accordance with the law.

Education for poverty alleviation: teach people how to fish, then light up others

　　As early as 1997, Yang Guoqiang invested 1 million yuan to set up a Zhongming scholarship named after his mother through the Yangcheng Evening News. Since then, he has insisted on donating annually, and then the annual donation amount has increased to 2 million yuan and 3 million yuan for 23 years. A total of more than 41 million yuan has been donated, and more than 12,000 outstanding students with difficult backgrounds have received funding.

　　According to reports, Country Garden and Guoqiang Public Welfare Foundation founded by Yang Guoqiang have always attached great importance to the fundamental role of education for poverty alleviation in promoting poverty alleviation and preventing poverty return.

"Education for poverty alleviation, teach people to fish; one person to become a talent, the whole family to get rid of poverty", these sixteen words vividly interpret Country Garden's educational concept of poverty alleviation, and Country Garden's innovative practice has also become a sample value exploration in the context of poverty alleviation.

　　At Guohua Memorial Middle School, education is not about promulgating courses based on scripts, nor is it purely about being admitted to a prestigious school, but to let every child be the best himself, and then to light up others.

This is in response to the original intention and vision of Country Garden and Yang Guoqiang, that is, they hope they can learn something and give back to the society.

To this end, Country Garden and all the aided children have been working hard.
