In 1989, the seeds of a spring bud landed roots and sprouted. In the past 30 years, the spring buds bloomed and the fruit was fruitful. At the important historical node of the 30th anniversary, we are grateful to the intimate partners who have long been concerned about supporting the China Children and Teenagers Foundation and supporting the “Spring Bud Program”, reporting on the implementation results of the “Spring Bud Program” and sharing the moving out of love story, together look forward to the new beautiful vision of the "Spring Bud Program."

1 The footsteps of Spring Bud

1.1 The origin of the "Spring Bud Program"

Thirty years ago, in some parts of China, especially in poor areas, child abortion was a serious problem. Among the children who have lost school, girls account for two-thirds. Take the Hongyao people in Rongshui County of Guangxi as an example. The nation once popularized the proverb that “the dog does not plow the field, the woman does not study”. Before 1989, a Hongyao girl had not attended school or read a book.

In this context, the "Spring Bud Program" came into being. She is aiming to improve the conditions for running schools in poverty-stricken areas, and to support the girls in poverty-stricken areas to continue their studies. With her mission and responsibility, under the leadership of the All-China Women's Federation, with the support of the whole society, she has come one step at a time. The birth of the "Spring Bud Program" not only met the national conditions at that time, but also responded to the world's major concern for girls' right to education.

1.2 Three 10 years of development of the "Spring Bud Program"

During the 30 years of the implementation of the Spring Bud program, we have continuously formed and adhered to three principles.

First, adhere to the principle of sustainable development of girls. With the cooperation of the partners, UNICEF has always been mindful of the needs of the girls and always puts the sustainable development of girls first.

The second is to adhere to the principle of cooperation and win-win. Work with partners to help, complement each other, help each other, make progress together, organically integrate charity and corporate culture, and establish a shared and win-win concept of charity cooperation.

The third is to uphold the principle of credibility. We will reach a consensus with our partners on standard management and honest cooperation, pay attention to project implementation quality and social benefits, and fully recognize the establishment of an institutionalized, accurate and transparent project system under the supervision of third parties.

In the past 30 years, the "Spring Bud Program" has focused on girls' education and development. The project's connotation and form have been continuously innovated and developed, and it has generally gone through three stages.

In the first 10 years, it mainly subsidized poor girls to complete the compulsory education stage and conducted practical technical training for older girls.

In the second 10 years, on the basis of the first phase, the Spring Buddhism School was started to be built, and the social coverage of the project was further expanded.

In the third decade, combined with the new needs of girls, the scope of study will be extended to high school and university, and spring bud teacher training, girl vocational education, girl protection, adolescent guardianship, and left-behind girls will be accompanied.

2 Interpreting Spring Bud Project by numbers

Today, the "Spring Bud Project" has handed over such a transcript: a total of 2.18 billion yuan of donations from the community, a total of 27.84 million donations, and more than 3.69 million girls in the spring buds nationwide. In the school of 1811, vocational education training was conducted for 527,000 girls, and 2.17 million sets of hand-laying buds were issued.

2.1 Basic information on the “Spring Bud Program” donation partners

Enterprise (unit) donation participation increased significantly

t the beginning of the project, there were 27 donated enterprises (units). By 2019, the donated enterprises will reach more than 750 enterprises (units). In the early stage of development, state-owned enterprises (units) participated in a higher degree. As the economy continues to develop, the sense of social philanthropy continues to increase, and the enthusiasm of private enterprises and foreign companies is growing.

Public donations are exploding

From the initial 23 donations of personal love, it is to the current support of more than 27 million people. In the past ten years, traditional public welfare brands have been plugged into the wings of the Internet and have given new vitality. Especially in recent years, the number of donations and donations from the public donation “Spring Buds Program” has been geometrically multiplied. On the one hand, it reflects the enthusiasm of the rapidly developing Internet public interest to young netizens, and on the other hand, it also confirms the project’s Strong vitality and continuous attention and support from the community to girls' education and girls' development.

The southwest and northwest regions are the key areas for the implementation of the “Spring Bud Project” project. The “Spring Bud Project” covers 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Among them, the Southwest and Northwest regions have the highest expenditures.

The “Spring Bud Project” project supports the top ten provinces. According to the amount of subsidies and the number of sponsors, the top 10 provinces are Sichuan, Guizhou, Gansu, Xinjiang, Yunnan, Qinghai, Jiangxi, Hunan, Tibet, and Hebei.

Among the Spring Bud Aids program, Spring Bud’s high school students accounted for the highest proportion of expenditures, and the proportion of Spring Bud’s college students’ funding continued to expand.

3 The spring buds fruit

Time flies, 30 years later today, the flower of Spring Bud has bloomed in all directions. A large number of spring bud girls have grown up. They work hard, struggle hard, and use action to interpret the spirit of "self-improvement, up-to-earth, and pursuit of beauty", and have won the opportunity of one after another. This vivid scene has also become a beautiful picture in the 70 years of the development of New China.

In Rongshui, Guangxi, the “Spring Bud Program” changed the old concept of “the dog does not plow the field, the woman does not study”. All the girls are treated like the boys, and they are the first women in the history of the nation. Teachers, female doctors, female soldiers;

In Buddh, Sichuan, the “Spring Bud Program” helped the girls to go out of the Great Liangshan Mountain through study, and after building the school, they built their hometown and became the living force that changed the poverty of the Great Liangshan Mountain;

In Beijing, more than 600 poor girls from 11 ethnic groups including Victoria, Tibet, Hui, Yao and Miao gathered together to complete junior high school, high school and university studies. They have grown into excellent backbones in all walks of life.

These are just the epitome of the fruit of Spring Bud. A similar story, every day, every year, continues on the land of the motherland.

After 30 years of development, the “Spring Bud Program” not only benefits girls and families, but also achieves significant social benefits:

First, the rights of girls to education and development are guaranteed. In the early stage of the implementation of the "Spring Bud Program", the focus was on assisting the government to popularize nine-year compulsory education; after the popularization of the national "two exemptions and one subsidy" policy, the "Spring Bud Project" vigorously expanded the scope of funding, carried out vocational education for girls, and paid attention to The cultivation of girls' ideological and moral character, character cultivation and knowledge ability has formed a multi-faceted funding system that cares for girls' education, safety and health.

Second, it promoted the implementation of the basic national policy of equality between men and women. The “Spring Bud Project” is funded by girls, which ensures the fairness of girls at the starting point of education to a certain extent, enhances the overall quality and social status of rural women, promotes the transformation of the traditional concept of patriarchal women, and makes men and women equal. The national policy and the concept of civilization have taken root and blossomed.

Third, a bridge of love has been set up to promote national unity and stability in the frontier. The "Spring Bud Project" has always focused on minority areas as a subsidy. Through policy inclination, it has provided more help to girls in ethnic minorities such as Xinjiang and Tibet, and built a bridge of friendship and mutual assistance among ethnic groups to make the people in ethnic areas more feel the care of the party and the government, and the warmth of the big family of the motherland.

Fourth, it provided support for the service to win the fight against poverty. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the "Spring Bud Plan" has made efforts in the deep poverty-stricken areas, giving priority to supporting the girls from the poverty-stricken families who set up files and set up cards. By helping the girls complete their studies and master their skills, it has driven the families to get rid of poverty and become rich, which has effectively cooperated with the implementation of the poverty alleviation campaign.

Fifth, it has built a platform for spreading philanthropic culture and concentrating public welfare. For many years, the "Spring Bud Plan" has set up the thinking of media communication. Through the in-depth exploration of the stories of charitable recipients who have learned and become talented, grateful and inspirational, it has made full use of the platform advantages of traditional media and new online media to widely spread positive energy, and constantly carried forward and practiced the socialist core values.

Born in thick soil, longer than the times. Nowadays, the “Spring Bud Program” has become a successful case for promoting girls' education and development in China. At the same time, it has transmitted to the world the Chinese experience of improving women's education, and has demonstrated to the world the great superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics.

4 The imprint of love

Tracking the footsteps of Spring Bud, each step is the imprint of love, with the temperature of love, stepping out of the echo of love.

There is such an old man. After he retired, he insisted on cleaning the 2,650-square-meter sanitation area every day. He only earned 26.5 yuan in salary every month. He donated this meager income to the children for many years. The old man was called Wu Houzhi and had passed away. He never left anything for his children before his death.

There is such a grassroots civil servant from the Northeast. Every year, she brings her family together to start a family meeting to discuss plans to fund the Spring Bud girls. This family meeting has been open for more than a decade. Donating the "Spring Bud Program" has become a family tradition. Today, her family has funded more than 30 spring bud girls.

There is such a post 90. He became a donor to the "Spring Bud Project" for a chance. A month later, he received a pairing card from the project team. Since then, the 90s and the girls have established a family relationship that is not a brother and sister than a brother and sister. "Assisting students + companionship" makes the life of Spring Bud girls more full of sunshine.

There are also many ordinary people who have poured out the flower of dreams with endless love, and have made a long-distance running that spans 30 years. We are pleased to see that many spring bud girls have taken over the baton of love. They are grateful to the society, serve the society, and give back the love of Spring Bud to their students, patients, and folks.

5 The sentiment of love

A man should be independent at the age of thirty. As the witnesses, witnesses and promoters of the "Spring Bud Program", at this moment, we have many sentiments to share with you.

We will always remember the deep hope that the Party Central Committee has placed on the children. The Party Central Committee has always been concerned about the all-round development of children. Many leading comrades in the central government have cordially met with the girls of Spring Bud. In particular, General Secretary Xi Jinping fully affirmed the "Spring Bud Program" and made important instructions, hoping to use love and true feelings for thousands of children. Putting a healthy road, a road to study, and a road to success have pointed out the way forward.

We will always remember that Professor Peng Liyuan is kind and caring for the mothers of the majority of Spring Bud girls. As a special envoy of the Spring Bud Program to Promote Girls' Education, Professor Peng Liyuan promoted the education of girls and women as a lofty cause, and participated in the “Spring Bud Program” several times. She also introduced the “Spring Bud Program” on the international stage. . She encouraged the children to face difficulties, study hard, and become talented at an early date. This earnestly entrusted the young mind with the power to chase dreams.

We will always remember the selfless dedication of the "Spring Bud Program" from all walks of life. From party and state leading comrades to the general public, from army officers and soldiers to local units, from the elderly to preschool children, from migrant workers to entrepreneurs, from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots to international friends and friends... thousands of donors with simple love In the heart, the donation of donations into the ocean of love, so that the Spring Bud girl changed the course of fate because of knowledge.

We will always remember that the true feelings of the women’s federations at all levels and the teachers of Spring Bud. The Women's Federation at all levels has closely integrated the Spring Bud Aid with the basic national policy of promoting gender equality and precision poverty alleviation, and provided organizational guarantee for the “Spring Bud Program”. The majority of Spring Bud teachers insist on establishing a talent model for the children. There are also many news media and Internet platforms that shoulder social responsibilities and make important efforts and links to improve the social influence of the Spring Bud Program.

A drop of water can refract the light of the sun. Through the 30-year development process of the "Spring Bud Program", we have more clearly felt that our party has not forgotten the original feelings of the people, and only under the leadership of the party and the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, the majority of Spring Bud girls and all children Have a bright future.

6 Embrace the future

Looking back at the time, I will start again. Next, we will take Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China as the guide, and thoroughly implement the spirit of a series of important speeches by General Secretary Xi Jinping, and stick to the virtues of cultivating talents, cultivating morality, intelligence, and beauty. The development of socialist builders and successors as a fundamental task, on the basis of earnestly summing up the achievements and experience of the 30-year implementation of the "Spring Bud Program", through mobilization and innovation, further mobilize and condense social charitable resources, and continue to deepen "Spring The project's connotation highlights the key points of precision poverty alleviation and the improvement of girls' comprehensive quality and girls' protection. It actively guides the majority of spring bud girls to stand on their own feet, study hard, and grow into a newcomer who can take on the responsibility of national rejuvenation.

On September 4th, Professor Peng Liyuan personally launched the upgraded version of the “Spring Bud Project” charity project – “Spring Bud Project – Dream of the Future”. We are looking forward to more spring buds in the care of the party and the community's care and support, bathed in the sunshine of happiness and tranquility, blooming and more splendid.

Finally, once again giving the community the support and support of the "Spring Bud Program", expressed lofty respect and heartfelt thanks!
