Year-ender: 10 awe-inspiring stories in China


After the first snowfall in Harbin, a touching scene was captured on the campus of the Harbin Institute of Technology: Jiang Chengguo, 74, walking through the snow-covered campus with a backpack on his shoulders, People's Daily reported.
Jiang donated 1.5 million yuan ($210,521) to the institute's education development foundation to reward outstanding students who contribute to aerospace and national defense endeavors.
This generous donation honors the final wish of his late wife, Luo Guorui, a retired educator from HIT's School of International Studies. Her aspiration was to support more students dedicated to furthering national aerospace and defense endeavors.
"Helping them is also making contributions to the school and the country," Jiang added.
