At the beginning of the new year, a warm online photo shows a Tibetan elderly person in Zhimulin Town, Heishui County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, smiling under the bright light and thanking the person who brought them the light in Tibetan. The energy-saving light that the old man just put on at home was sent by a lighting company in Haining.
Zhimulin Town in Heishui County is a key rural revitalization demonstration site supported by Jiaxing in supporting Heishui. Local villagers gather through villages, and infrastructure has been significantly improved. However, some villagers still live halfway up the mountain. The staff of Haining Bohua Lighting Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. discovered that the bulbs hanging in the villagers’ homes are already outdated incandescent lamps in the market. Through further understanding, it was found that most young people go out to work, while the elderly and children rely on dim incandescent lamps for lighting at home all year round. Therefore, the idea of helping them improve lighting conditions arose. Soon, Bohua Company prepared 8 models of 3378 high-end brand energy-saving lamps based on different household needs, with a value of over 40000 yuan.
After the lamps were transported to Heishui, they were sent separately to over 200 households in Zhimulin Town and replaced one by one for elderly families. As the New Year approaches, the bright starting point of Heishui Mountain shines with starlight, just like the deep warmth felt by Tibetan compatriots. The person in charge of Bohua Lighting stated that they hope to bring light to the people in the mountains of Heishui, and also hope that warmth can be passed on to more ethnic minority compatriots. Since 2019, Bohua Lighting Company has also paired 18 children and orphans from disadvantaged families in Daliangshan in a one-on-one manner, and has donated a Bohua public welfare student assistance class for a long time.
Education assistance has always been a top priority in ethnic areas. This winter, 14 primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in Heishui County hung over 1500 sets of curtains donated by Haining Enterprise to block the cold of the plateau. The curtains come from 11 fabric enterprises in Xucun Town, with a value of 1.5 million yuan. In addition, a lighting company in Yanguan Town used winter vacation to install eye protection lights in 40 classrooms of the Luhua Red Army Primary School in Heishui. After learning about Yan Zhaxi, a child with congenital diseases, who overcame his physical defects and persevered in studying, Zhejiang Ruixin Bathroom took the initiative to pair up and donate 10000 yuan annually. Haining Shutao Socks Industry donated the company’s products for a charity sale, raising 52500 yuan to purchase learning supplies and teaching materials and deliver them to children of various ethnic groups in the public welfare assistance class in Heishui County.
The Haining Federation of Industry and Commerce launched a charity enterprise donation of 6.5 million yuan in winter supplies, which also made Blackwater compatriots feel warm. In 2021, various sectors of Haining society donated 4.01 million yuan in funds and over 9 million yuan in materials to Heishui. Since 2018, Haining has donated over 100 million yuan in donations to Blackwater.
Haining and Heishui hand in hand, let the brightness and warmth pass all the time. The compatriots of all ethnic groups joined hands to take a solid step on the road to common prosperity, playing a new chapter of happiness.
