BEIJING - For Mao Jinwen, a freshman at Peking University's school of government, his first day on campus was full of surprises.
"I never imagined I would get 1,500 yuan ($230) every year," he told China Daily on Sunday.
The 20-year-old, who comes from a rural family in Gansu province, is among more than 600 freshmen from poor families who will get financial support from Peking University this year.
