Though it’s rainy in Hangzhou, the volunteers of FLFC and Chinese Rural Children’s Joint Commonweal arrived early at the Canal Square and began to decorate their booth.

The heavy rain could not withstand the gathering of love as people continuously came to the booth to consult how to help rural children.

Notably, a grandmother wanted to donate a bag and other stationery to rural children. She asked booths one by one about whether these items could be received. When she knew that we could meet her need, she put down the bag and said,“kindness always begets kindness.”, and then left in a hurry. The weather was cold, but we were warm due to her recognition.

In addition to the participation of on-site citizens, more than 100,000 netizens watched the live broadcasting of Civic Love Day through the mobile phone of Feng Zhigang, who was the director of Quick Commonweal and one of Ten Outstanding Young Persons who were accredited as the most beautiful people in Hangzhou.

Feng Zhigang was interviewing Zhou Gongwu, the deputy director of Volunteer Service Center of FLFC.
