Wanderlust leads to path of charity

A 30-year-old travel buff finds his true calling in the country's underdeveloped areas. Chen Nan reports.

Wu Dibao arrived at the pretty village of Baizha in Yushu Tibetan autonomous prefecture, Qinghai province, in 2009. As he climbed a nearby mountain, he noticed a white tent pitched on lush, green grass. The tent, he discovered, was a school.

The mobile Pan Hong Primary School had two teachers and 68 students, most of whom were from families of Tibetan herders, and slept on the ground and ate simple meals. The tent served as a classroom and a dormitory but was without electricity or running water. The scene shocked Wu, who later launched a nonprofit called Walking China to help poverty-stricken areas.
