Before departure, Fu Qiang told Xiao Zhou to review the questions carefully.

"Don't panic when the test paper is handed out. Review the questions carefully first and then answer the paper. Don't be mentally burdened and take it easy. Learn from brother Xu Qiaohu. He is physically disabled but has a strong will. After graduating from graduate school, he has already worked at Wuxi ." June On the 26th, among the bustling crowd taking exams at Sheyang County No. 2 Middle School, a white-haired old man stood out particularly. Amidst the sounds of reminders, candidates walked into the examination room. This old man is Fu Qiang, a "good guy in Yancheng " who is nearly eighty years old. The candidate is Xiao Zhou, whom he has sponsored for 11 years.

Xiao Zhou from Bajia Community, Linhai Town, Sheyang County, was born in an unfortunate family. His grandfather passed away, his parents divorced, his grandmother and father are disabled, and both have lost the ability to work. The three generations, old and young, depend on each other and rely on subsistence allowances to maintain their lives. Fu Qiang is well-known in the local area for his warm-heartedness. After learning about Xiao Zhou's family situation, he not only helped Xiao Zhou with his daily life, but also focused on cultivating Xiao Zhou's studies. From kindergarten to junior high school, Xiao Zhou studied everything. All expenses will be borne by Fu Qiang. In June 2021, when Xiao Zhou was in the third grade of junior high school at Linhai Middle School, his grandmother was involved in a car accident, resulting in a broken leg. The already struggling family was even worse. In order to allow Xiao Zhou to study in peace without any worries, Fu Qiang raised funds to have Grandma Zhou hospitalized for treatment. During the time she was discharged from the hospital and recuperated at home, she hired a nurse to take care of Grandma Zhou.

Every year during the college entrance examination and high school entrance examination, Fu Qiang always takes a bus to the county examination room to take a look. It contains his expectations for the future and his good memories. "Among the students he once sent for exams, there was a disabled person named Xu Qiaohu. Because he could not walk independently, he planned to give up his studies when he was in high school. With the encouragement and influence of his father, he regained his confidence in learning and was later admitted to university. , and later passed the master's degree in clinical medicine, and worked in the dermatology department of Wuxi Fifth People's Hospital after graduation. "Aunt Chen who took the exam was Fu Qiang's neighbor. She said that Xu Qiaohu went from being ready to give up his studies to becoming a doctor. A doctor, in addition to his own efforts, cannot do without Fu Qiang's care and help. "I will report to you as soon as the results come out. I want to study hard like brother Xu Qiaohu and become a useful person to society in the future." Xiao Zhou said to Qiang with confidence.

According to reports, Fu Qiang lives a very simple life, but he is never stingy with his neighbors and needy students. Fu Qiang has always believed in the principle that "knowledge changes destiny". He saved his living expenses to set up a scholarship. If a child from a nearby family gets admitted to the undergraduate program, he will be rewarded 500 yuan; if he is admitted to the graduate school, he will be rewarded 1,000 yuan. Not long ago, Fu Qiang learned that students in need Xiao Chen wanted to learn a skill, so he immediately sent him a new computer. There are many other examples like this. Fu Qiang also used his four front houses to spend more than 40,000 yuan to purchase table tennis tables, chess and cards, tables and stools, and subscribed to more than 10 newspapers and periodicals and more than 2,000 books to set up the "Fu Qiang Family Cultural Activity House" for residents' entertainment. . Fu Qiang's efforts have been recognized by the society. In March this year, the County Civilization Office and the Women's Federation launched the fifth "Civilized Family" selection and the eighth "Finding the Most Beautiful Family" selection event, and Fu Qiang's family was on the list.
