In Linyi client news, July and August are Ma Chengwen's happiest days. After the college entrance examination, the children he sponsored successively checked the college entrance examination results and filled in their favorite universities. Ma Chengwen is not yet 60 years old this year, and his hair is already completely white. When talking about the donation to education for more than 30 years, he always grinned, "As long as the child is good and can go to a good school, it is worth it for us to do more." ”
Ma Chengwen embarked on the road of donating to education, thanks to the influence of a "circle of good people". When Ma Chengwen was young, he and his neighbor Zhang Wanxian ran a sheepskin business together, Zhang Wanxian is a well-known "great benevolent person", often sponsoring poor students with like-minded friends, and sometimes inviting Ma Chengwen to visit his home together. Once, the two came to the home of a poor student, and the student's parents were both sick in bed, and the family relied on their elderly grandparents to support them. Ma Chengwen gave the child 100 yuan on the spot, which was the first time he sponsored a poor student. "At that time, I didn't earn much and didn't donate much, dozens or hundreds at a time, the key is that this kind of behavior makes me feel very down-to-earth." Ma Chengwen said.
In 2015, Ma Chengwen met a person who changed the trajectory of his life - Yi Jipeng, the founder of Mayflower Love Club. "Since I learned about the Love Club initiated by Yi Ji Peng, I realized that only through teamwork can we pool greater strength to help more poor students." After Ma Chengwen had a long talk with Yi Jipeng, he decided to attract more people to participate in the cause of student assistance and expand the "circle of good people". After a period of brewing, on May 20, 2020, Ma Chengwen initiated the establishment of the Huabu Circle Love Club, organizing and mobilizing caring people around him to join the Love Club and contribute their own strength to students and the elderly from poor families. At the beginning of its establishment, there were only more than 20 members of the Love Club, and the activities were not very smooth, and after communicating with the members, Ma Chengwen knew that the members of the Love Club were basically from the community, and everyone felt that the villagers were embarrassed to visit other people's homes, and they were afraid that others would talk behind their backs, so most of them chose to donate money privately. "I'll advise everyone, we're doing a good deed, what's so embarrassing? Only in this way can more people know that we are doing good deeds and it is possible to join us! Ma Chengwen said. In this way, under the mobilization of Ma Chengwen, the Love Club has grown to more than 110 people a year later, and in addition to the villagers of this village, it has also attracted more than a dozen people from surrounding villages to participate.
Ma Chengwen has been helping poor students for 30 years, and has donated more than 60 yuan to help students. The Huabu Circle Love Club has organized and launched more than 20 love donation activities, and the members have donated nearly 100,000 yuan. In 2022, Ma Chengwen was selected as a "Good Person in China".
After the results of this year's college entrance examination were announced, Ma Chengwen began to work again. Collect information on students in need, call the funded students to inquire about their results, contact club members to visit, and run on the road of donating to education......
