鈥業ce flower boy鈥 spurs donation to poor kids
Print Edition
A LOCAL youth foundation in Yunnan Province has launched a fund-raising campaign after a boy covered in frost became an Internet sensation in China.
Third-grader Wang Fuman received his frosted look and chapped cheeks after a 4.5km walk from his home to school on a freezing day in Ludian County.
His teacher snapped a photo of him and posted it on WeChat. Wang鈥檚 story soon moved millions of Chinese netizens, who called him 鈥渋ce flower boy,鈥 with many making donations.
The Youth Development Foundation of Zhaotong City had received more than 500,000 yuan (US$77,000) by Monday afternoon. The first batch of 100,000 yuan was delivered to rural schools, including Zhuanshanbao primary school where Wang studies.
鈥淭he donations will be used to help poor left-behind children who live in regions with low temperatures overcome winter coldness,鈥 said Chen Yu, office director with the foundation.
Chen Furong, the county鈥檚 educational bureau head, said authorities plan to offer gloves, coats, hats and winter shoes to more than 1,300 students who study at schools at an altitude of more than 2,600 meters.
