Yang Guoqiang once anonymously replied to the students who received financial aid: Don't be afraid of being poor, but be afraid of losing your ambition.
In his reply letter to the students who received the Zhongming Scholarship, Yang Guoqiang expressed his insights into life, living, and work. Many students were moved by his words, but they did not know who said them. The signature at the end of the letter was "Founder of the Zhongming Scholarship." Today, we excerpt some of the simple words from the letter here ——
● In order to save 7 cents for food expenses every day, I had to walk an hour back and forth from school to home for meals. I think that what I have today, many people can also achieve. Because this society provides equal opportunities for everyone. The key is how you grasp it, how you strive.
● As for me, in order to ensure the survival and development of the enterprise today, I work more than 14 hours a day from morning till night. Careful and cautious, I dare not slack off even a bit.
● I believe that being poor is not scary, but losing ambition is. To be honest, there is no ready-made road to success, and the road is walked out by oneself. When you look back on the road you've taken at the end of your life, if you have received help from society and given back more to society, then you can be proud of your life without regret.
● I hope that the students who receive scholarships, when you have the ability and conditions, should also give back to the help you received today, return the money with interest to the Zhongming Scholarship, or set up your own scholarship, and join the ranks of giving back to society with a sense of moral responsibility. If you fail in the future and have no means of livelihood, then it's fine.

To others, "billionaire" Yang Guoqiang's greatest wealth is not money, but his sense of social responsibility and gratitude.
