Financial aid helps promising scholars reach potential

Premier Li Keqiang was a member of the secretariat of the Communist Youth League Central Committee when he visited Jinzhai county, Anhui province, in February 1990.

He had been inspecting the proposed location for Project Hope's first primary school, and on the way back he stopped at Jinzhai No 1 High School.

Jinzhai, located in the Dabie Mountains, was one of China's poorest counties at the time. It was chosen as the site for the primary school under the project, which helps keep disadvantaged children from quitting.
