This is a story of an encounter that led to an everlasting experience. Leung was travelling with her husband in the outskirts of China, she stopped by a mountainside tavern for lunch. When a young girl that looked as if she was just ten years old came to take her order, Mrs. Leung felt heartbroken to see such a young girl working as a waitress. As a kind hearted mother, she asked the girl why she
was working here instead of going to school. Choking back tears, the girl could not find words to respond to Mrs. Leung’s question. An acquaintance of the girl explained to Mrs. Leung the girl’s situation. Mrs. Leung learned that the little girl was actually fourteen years old but petite for her age, and was an aspiring nursing student in medical student at the Shaoguan nursing division of the Medical College Hospital. Unfortunately, because she and her family lived in the mountainside they were very poor and the little girl had to drop out of school before completing her studies. After verifying the story with the girl, Mrs. Leung asked the girl caringly if she would like to return to school, and the girl responded with a full determination towards furthering her studies. Leung asked the girl to write down her school name and contact information, and upon returning home Mrs. Leung contacted the girl's homeroom teacher who confirmed the girl’s unfortunate situation. She was among the poor families who lived in the mountainside in poverty. Leung felt grief-stricken and decided to do something for the girl. She wired the tuition fee to the school on behalf of the girl before ringing her up and told her to return to school. At first, the girl did not believe her luck for she believed this was a scam and nobody could do such nice things for a stranger. It wasn’t until the homeroom teacher personally asked the girl to return back to school did she believe her luck. With faith, the girl set out back to school. Little did she know this would only the beginning of her encounter with the kind stranger. After this arrangement, Mrs. Leung continued to learn from the caring teacher that many other students share this unfortunate background with the girl. They too came from the countryside and their families cannot afford to send their kids to medical school. In addition, since most of them are self-sufficient farmers, they cannot afford to fund the student’s meals at school. This broke Mrs. Leung’s heart and she realized the urgency of this situation. She decided to take matters into her own hands and immediately worked with friends and sponsors to collect enough funds to provide a meal subsidy program for over eight hundred students, worth six hundred RMB per year per student. To ensure the donations are used properly, Mrs. Leung travels numerous times a year to the school in Shaoguan to maintain good communication with the students. Her dedication towards the betterment of the lives of these students is shown through her warm interactions with them.
