Su was admitted to Anhui University in 2002. After graduation, she became an employee of the Anhui Branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. To repay the kindness from the people who have helped her, Su donated the salary of her first month to Project Hope. Since then, she has donated 1,000 yuan every month to help rural students from poor families.

In 2018, she used 30,000 yuan from her savings to set up a student assistance fund. To date, the fund has raised around 5 million yuan, and helped establish five Hope Schools.

Su is attending the quinquennial CPC national congress in Beijing as a member of the Anhui delegation. Once a beneficiary of Project Hope, she is now calling for more people to pitch in the country's endeavor to provide better education to all children.

"I don't want people to pay too much attention to me. I think we should focus on Project Hope and on how to help impoverished students, help those who really need help," Su said.

The report delivered at the opening session of the congress pointed out that "China has built the world's largest education system".

The report highlighted the strategic importance of education in the country's path of building a modern socialist country in all respects. In the journey of the new era, "China will accelerate the building of a high-quality education system, develop all-round education, and promote educational fairness," the report said.

Zhou Qianyu contributed to the story.
