years ago, when she established a center for homeless children in
Baoji. Since then she has assisted 389 children that bring her the
great honor and big respect from the local community, through the
public appraisal she was finally chosen as one of the ten top City

persistent contribution and commitment in helping the street
children out of difficult circumstances."
