Here are some facts FHL Volunteers learned about the local culture.

• Local law allows one family to have three children, if a family wants to have more children, it has to pay a fine (10-20 thousand CNY). Per FHL volunteers' observation, most of families have more than three children, yet none of them are rich. 

• When a girl is married, her parents can get paid for 20-40 thousands CNY from the boy's family. Vice versa, when a boy wants to have a family, he needs to prepare 20-40 thousands CNY.

• Going to city is just to make money, but home is better, regardless how poor it is. 

• Financial responsibility isn't taught through the culture, so is sanitary or health care. 

• Alcohol here is like tea or coffee. Our volunteers couldn't find bottled water in the village, but plenty of options for alcohol. 

•  Most women had more than four kids, and most of them have never visited any gynecologist.  

FHL hopes to support education in Liang Shan through: 

• Providing students in need with tuition.

• If neccesary, support local volunteer teachers. 

In Baojing, Hunan, the scholarship was distributed by Professor Zhou in person in 2016. Students and families gathered in town, not only for the scholarship, but also to be encouraged by Professor Zhou. She shared her own testimony in the meeting and encourage the students to "do the same thing for others when grow up". 

Every year, FHL organizes visits to supported schools or areas. This not only enriches the culture exchange, but also gives hope to the hopeless, and encourages volunteers to keep up with the good works.
