"As indicated to you in Changsha during our annual meeting, money can not change people, only people can. In our society today, many people are striving for money, even at the expense of others. However, there remain some who set their eyes not on immediate gains for themselves, but choose to sacrifice their own good for the good of others. These are the doctors and teachers who have been taking care of their patients and educating the children, deep in the mountains of the rural China, in spite of the most adverse living conditions. They have forgone a more promising career in the city or even time to be spent with their families. They are the living examples. Their caring hearts touch upon others like a candle in the dark, shinning through every corner to light up people's lives. Their virtues as good doctors and good teachers radiate from their deeds and will make positive impact on all of us."
Dr Wang Haitao: a doctor from the village, for the village
Dr Wang was born into a peasant family in Tangzhai Village in the township of Xiaowu in Xiaochang County, Hubei Province (湖北孝昌县小悟乡汤砦村) in 1955. Since graduating from the Hubei University of Chinese Medicine (湖北中医学院) in 1977, he has been devoting all his heart and time to the people in the poverty-stricken rural villages.
Despite the difficult conditions in the countryside and his poor livelihood, Dr Wang always strives to improve his medical skills and knowledge and learns from the more experienced doctors with a humble heart. He serves at the countryside clinic whole-heartedly and has repeatedly turned down more promising career options at county-level hospitals. Whatever he does, he has only one aim: to cure his patients from the rural villages.
“As medics we are entrusted with people’s lives. There is no room to relax.” - Dr Wang Haitao
A life saved; a regret for life
In a rainy evening, Dr Wang’s mother was dying. She held her son’s hands close to herself; in tears, she asked him to stay with her by her bed for the night. Meanwhile, Dr Wang was informed of a serious hypertension stroke in a patient in Tiaogou Village (跳沟村), over 5km away from the clinic.
Always putting his patients first, Dr Wang struggled between his duty as a doctor and that of a son. He knelt down in front of his mother at her bedside. With tears rolling down his cheeks, he bid her farewell, and immediately set off for the mountains, where rain had turned the footpaths into mud, making the journey even more difficult than usual. After three hours’ life-saving effort, the patient was pulled out of danger. As a doctor, Dr Wang was satisfied with having saved the patient; but as a son, he has to bear an irreparable regret for life.
Never will he leave his patients
When Ms Wang Cuiling (王翠玲) from Zhangcong Village (張沖村) was carried by her family to Dr Wang’s clinic, she was diagnosed with a cerebrovascular accident. In spite of her serious condition, her family would not send her to the hospital because of financial difficulty.
Dr Wang kept Ms Wang at the clinic to take care of her. However, once her condition improved slightly, she got up and quietly went home. Knowing exactly how serious it could have got without timely medication, every day after seeing his patients Dr Wang would walk more than 2km to visit Ms Wang at her home to bring her proper treatment. Even though Ms Wang’s family had lost hope for her recovery, Dr Wang would not give up. Following over half a month of dedicated treatment, Ms Wang had recovered from the life-threatening illness and was even able to return to work.
“We thank the Party for cultivating such a good cadre; we thank Dr Wang and the clinic for saving my life, and the life of our whole family.”

“I am revived by the Subsidy” — Caring Teacher Mr Tan Daolu
Mr Tan Daolu (谭道禄), a 57-year-old teacher suffering from third-degree paralysis of the left lower limb, is now teaching in Jiaoren Xiwang Primary School (教仁希望小学) in Xinwan Village (新湾乡) in Jiangxi Xiushui (江西修水). His wife has passed away and his parents are old and weak. He lives in the remote mountain where the living conditions are extremely bad. His house, built in 1964, has become very shabby now. Nonetheless, with astonishing and tenacious willpower, he has been staying in the remote mountainous area to teach at a school for 37 years on his own, performing not only the role of teacher, but also as a cook, doctor and nanny at the same time.
In the second half of 2006, the state of his stump worsened and his femur kept on deteriorating. Notwithstanding the great pain he continued to give lessons. It was only when he was unable to move did he ask for leave to have resection surgery. He had surgery on 30 December 2006, and he went back to work with a pair of walking sticks in March 2007. In the second half of 2010, he was finally transferred to Jiaoren Xiwang Primary School which is of a better condition.
Although Mr Tan has been facing family calamity and serious sickness, he insists on working without compromising his teaching quality. He has worked with sickness over a long period of time, and was treated for slight illness only on Sundays and serious illness only in summer or winter vacation. When he was teaching in the remote Xiaoliu Primary School (小流小学), his class was ranked as the first and second in every subject in the village examination just before and after he received his surgery. He is a positive person who loves working. His teaching quality has maintained at such a high standard that he was awarded Teaching Quality Prize (教学质量奖) in county and village, Outstanding Individual Prize (先进个人奖) and “Model Teacher” (师德模范) for his virtue for several times.
The Voice of Mr Tan Daolu
For people like me living in poverty-stricken mountainous area, it is extremely moving to have received such a huge amount of subsidy offered by Kerry Group Kuok Foundation that I never dream of. This shows people there is really saviour in the world.
I have led a rough life, suffering from third-degree paralysis (3级残疾) of left lower limb since 14 years old. Frequent great family calamity made my life miserable. Last year, thanks to the support and encouragement of the school and the leader of the teaching committee, I was appraised as “Caring Teacher” and began receiving subsidy from the Foundation, which is a great help taking care of my life, reviving my family, and giving us happiness, warmth and future.
In the past, my very little income had to support my high household expenditure, and I have never imagined that I could one day move to live in the city. Now with the housing allowance, I can and I dare to get a loan. I have recently spent 60,000 yuan to buy a 100m2 flat with my daughter, and I expect that next year my family will be able to live in the new house, moving away from the uninhabited, inaccessible, unconnected and unlit mountainous area. Moreover, thanks to the medical assistance allowance, my father who is over 80 and suffers from hypertension and the after effects of cerebral infarction, and my mother, who suffers from serious neck spinal disease, can finally receive timely treatment in the city. With the monthly stipends, my frugal parents can finally enjoy the basic necessities and lead their lives as happily as the elderly in the city.
The change made by the Kerry Group Kuok Foundation is such a blessing to us – it is to me like rainfall to a dying plant. I know it is very hard for me to repay for it. I can only devote the remaining energy of my old life to education for our Party, for our people. I will teach my students and the younger generation that they should maintain their integrity even when they become rich, keep happy even when they are poor. I hope the children, when they grow up, will model themselves on the Kuok Foundation to help the poor. Whatever they experience, poverty or disasters, they should still hold on to their faith and not do any wrong. When they have nothing to give, they can help others with their kind hearts. They will then understand happiness can be everywhere no matter what the situation it is. I will always love and care for our young children, and duly fulfil my duty as a teacher.
May I wish:
The Kuok Foundation be stronger and stronger!
Our motherland be more and more prosperous and harmonious!
All the poor people can live happier and happier!
  我们可以看到，正如这幅修水县政区图上所显示的，这些有爱心的好医生和好老师，他们分布在修水县的各个贫困角落。希望我们可以发现、发掘更多像这样一直默默奉献，服务他人的好医生好老师......
我们期待有一天星星之火真的可以燎原。中文版 正如我们长沙年会中跟你们所说，金钱不能改变人，只有人才能改变人。今天我们的社会，很多人为了追求金钱，不惜牺牲别人的利益。然而，仍然有一些人并不是着眼于自己的眼前利益，而是愿意牺牲自己服务别人。有这样的一群医生和老师，他们放弃了进城发展的机会，甚至牺牲和家人相聚的时间，不惜深入中国的偏远山村，尽管那里的生活条件非常不好，但他们一直用他们的爱心医治病人和教育学生，他们就是生活中的鲜活例子。他们的爱心就像黑暗中的烛光，照亮每一个角落，照亮人们的生命。从这些好医生，好老师的事迹中所折射出来的优点将会积极的影响着我们每个人。

愿将毕生献山区，乐当人民好医生
汪医生出生于1955年，湖北孝昌县小悟乡汤砦村的一个农民家庭。1977年从湖北中医学院中医专业毕业后，他便回到贫困山区工作，一直以来为广大农民的健康奉献自己的心和时间。
尽管山区生活条件困苦，汪医生仍然努力不懈，改进自己的医术，丰富自己的医学知识，虚心向老医生请教。他一心奉献给山区的农民，好几次上级给他机会到县医院工作，都被他一一谢絶了。汪医生所做的一切都源于一个信念：为广大患者解除病痛。
“健康所系，性命相托，作为医务工作者，半点马虎不得。” - 汪海涛医生
救了一条生命，却多了一份伴随一生的愧疚
一天晚上，外面下着雨，汪医生的母亲病危 。她临终前含泪躺在病榻上，握着儿子的手，希望他能在病床前守候一晚 。正在此时，离卫生院十余里的跳沟村一名患者突发高血压中风，情况十分危急。
一向以病人福祉为先的汪医生挣扎于作为医生和作为儿子的责任之间。最后，他跪在母亲床前，声泪俱下，向母亲辞别，立即往跳沟村跑去。大雨令山路都变成泥泞，格外难走。经过近三个小时的全力抢救，中风患者终于脱离了生命危险。作为医生，汪医生感到了满足；但作为儿子，却多了对母亲永远无法弥补的愧疚。
始终对病人不离不弃
当来自张冲村的王翠玲由家人抬到诊所时，汪医生给她诊断为“脑血管意外”。虽然情况严重，但由于病人家属经济困难，他们不打算送她到医院。
汪医生见状，便把病人留在诊所照料。但几天后，病人情况刚有好转，便偷偷离开。汪医生知道，如果病人不能坚持用药，很可能在短期内危及生命。故此，每天下班后他走四、五里的山路，带药到病人家中上门治疗。纵使病人的家属想要放弃，汪医生也不肯。经过半个多月的精心治疗，王翠玲终于康复，还能下地劳动了。
“感谢党培养的好干部，感谢汪院长，是卫生院救了我的命，救了我们全家。”

“资助唤醒了我”──愛心教師谭道禄
谭道禄，原修水新湾乡小学教师，现任教于教仁希望小学，57岁，左下肢三级残疾。丧偶，父母年老多病。住在深山中，生活条件极差，房屋建于1964年，破败剥落。37年来以顽强的意志和惊人的毅力，一直坚守在边远山区一人一校任教，兼教师、厨师、医师、保姆于一身。
2006年下半年，谭老师残肢病情恶化，股骨坏死，他强忍剧痛一直坚持上课，直到无法挪动才请假进医院做切除手术。2006年12月30日手术，2007年3月就柱双拐返校工作，直到2010年下半年才被调到条件较好的教仁希望小学任教。
面对家庭灾难和重大疾病，谭老师从不耽误工作，不影响教学质量。谭老师长期带病工作，患小病等到星期天再治疗，患大病等到寒、暑假再治疗。就连动大手术前后的两个学期，谭老师在小流小学所带的复式班，学生们的各科成绩在全乡统考还获前1-2名。谭老师心态健康，以工作为快乐，教学质量一直名列前茅，曾多次获县、乡教学质量奖和先进个人奖，多次被评为县里的“师德模范”。
谭道禄老師心聲：
香港嘉里集团郭氏基金会对我特大的资助，在我们特困山区是一件震憾人心的事，更是本人做梦也想不到的恩赐，让人们知道世上真有救世主的道理。
本人一生命运坎坷，十四岁就成了左下肢3级残疾人，多次家庭重大灾难，造成生活苦不堪言。自去年受学校及教委领导关照和鼓励，被评为“师德爱心教师”，受到香港嘉里集团郭氏基金会的资助，开始了对我晚年生活的关怀，也唤醒了我沉睡几十年的家庭，给我们送来了幸福、温暖和美好的愿望。
以前，因家庭开支大，收入少，至于进城买房根本没想过，现在有了住房补贴，自己也敢借钱了，现已投资6万和女儿合买了套约100m2的房子，预计明年可告别周围约10里无人烟、无公路、无照明电、无手机信号的大山和那坍塌的危房了；有了医疗补助，能让患高血压和脑梗塞后遗症的八旬老父和患严重颈腰椎疾病的母亲在城里求医服药，减轻了经济压力，带来了有病及时救治的方便；每月的生活补贴，能让一生艰苦朴素、省吃俭用的老人能吃饱、穿暖、玩好，不再过那种新三年，旧三年，缝缝补补又三年的日子了。吃穿住全都得到了解决，父母能像城里老人一样度过幸福晚年。
嘉里集团郭氏基金会厚爱如此博大，让我们如久旱将枯的草木逢甘霖。真如道经所说：“知恩万有，答谢难酬”。只有以我的残年余力努力拼博，为党和人民搞好教育工作，教育学生和后代深知“富贵不淫贫贱乐”的道理。让他们长大如成为有钱人，能像郭氏基金会那样乐于奉献，扶困济危。若是贫困或灾难，不因家贫而起邪念，要以苦为荣、以苦为乐；无物助人时，也可用美好的心灵、高尚的道德情操去帮助人，才能明白苦中有乐，其乐无穷的道理。永远用一颗忠诚的心去关爱青少年一代，去做好自己的本职工作，才能获得各级领导和爱心人士的认可、关心、厚爱和救助。
愿嘉里集团郭氏基金会越来越发展壮大！
愿我们祖国更加繁荣、昌盛、和谐！
愿天下所有贫苦人都能过上幸福美好的生活！
我们可以看到，正如这幅修水县政区图上所显示的，这些有爱心的好医生和好老师，他们分布在修水县的各个贫困角落。希望我们可以发现、发掘更多像这样一直默默奉献，服务他人的好医生好老师......
