In the summer of 2017, Li Dapeng received a call from Professor Liu Qiang: Professor Xiao Hong and Mr. Li Chonghou were going to visit Luoyang at the meeting, and because they were not familiar with Luoyang, Professor Liu Qiang hoped that Li Dapeng could take them to visit.
"On October 28, 2017, Professor Xiao Hong and Mr. Xiao Hong came to Luoyang and stayed in Luoyang for three days, and I took them to visit the Longmen Grottoes, the Luoyang Museum and the Ancient City of Luoyang in Hanwei." Li Dapeng said that Professor Xiao Hong mentioned to him that his great-grandfather was serving in Mengjin and also offered to visit the countryside in Mengjin.
During his stay in Luo, Li Dapeng accompanied two elderly people to visit the Fenghuangtai Village Primary School in Shengzhuang Town, Mengjin County, and Professor Xiao Hong saw that the conditions for running schools in the countryside were backward, and after communicating with Mr. Li, he decided to give love to Mengjin students.
"Since Professor Xiao Hong and Mr. Xiao live in Australia, out of trust, they entrusted me to help them find a suitable school in Mengjin to donate funds." Li Dapeng said that he suggested that the two elderly people donate funds to middle school students to buy computers, so that students can integrate into the information age as soon as possible, which not only broadens their horizons, but also helps them to learn.
According to the scale of the middle school, Professor Xiao Hong and Mr. Xiao Donated about 200,000 yuan to each middle school to purchase computers and supporting facilities and build computer rooms.
"The school offered to name the computer room after Xiao Tingbin or the couple, but Professor Xiao Hong refused, saying that donating money to fund the school was not for fame and fortune." Li Dapeng said that they finally chose to use the name "creativity", hoping that the students could give full play to their imagination, use their innovative consciousness and ability to understand the world and achieve themselves.
On the morning of the 4th, Li Dapeng conveyed the news reported by the Luoyang Evening News to Professor Xiao Hong, and she thanked the Luoyang media for their attention. Professor Xiao Hong said that although she and her husband are in a foreign country, they still love the motherland and are willing to do their best to continue to donate funds for education.
