⸻

💰 1. Core Funder and Project Facilitator

💰 一、核心資助者與項目推動者

Dr. Kwok Shiu Ming, through both his personal contributions and his role as president of the Asia Agriculture Research and Development Foundation, has long provided financial support to the Cultural Poverty Alleviation Committee.

郭兆明博士透過個人捐款及其擔任亞洲農業研究發展基金會會長的身份，長期為文化扶貧委員會提供資金支持：

• Ten-Thousand Village Library Project: Funded the construction of tens of thousands of village-level libraries, supplying practical books on agricultural technology, legal knowledge, and more to impoverished areas.

萬村書庫工程：資助建設數萬個村級圖書室，為貧困地區提供農業技術、法律常識等實用書籍。

• Hand-in-Hand Global Village Project: Provided equipment to 100 schools in Beijing and promoted urban-rural cultural exchange involving schools in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

手拉手地球村計劃：為北京100所學校提供活動器材，並促進香港、台灣與內地的城鄉兒童文化交流。

• Television and Information Access Projects: Built satellite TV reception stations in remote regions like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Loess Plateau, helping overcome information isolation.

電視與資訊扶貧工程：在青藏高原、黃土高原等偏遠地區建設衛星電視接收站，解決資訊閉塞問題。

According to former Director Xu Weicheng, Dr. Kwok donated over one million RMB annually—even during the Hong Kong financial crisis, continuing through personal savings and bank loans.

據原主任徐惟誠透露，郭博士每年捐資逾百萬元人民幣，即使香港金融危機時期，亦自掏腰包甚至向銀行借款繼續支持。

🌱 2. Practitioner of Educational Poverty Alleviation

🌱 二、教育扶貧的實踐者

Dr. Kwok emphasizes educational equity and targets aid to marginalized groups.

郭博士重視教育公平，資助策略聚焦於弱勢群體：

• Innovative Scholarship Model: Scholarships at institutions like China Agricultural University were aimed at “students from poor regions with low academic performance,” believing they are more likely to give back to their hometowns.

創新助學模式：在中國農業大學等設立獎學金，專門針對「成績較差的貧困生」，認為此類學生畢業後更可能回鄉服務。

• Children’s Encyclopedia Promotion: In 2019, co-donated The Chinese Children’s Encyclopedia (worth 1.75 million RMB) to Nujiang Prefecture in Yunnan and held a province-wide knowledge contest with nearly 50,000 participants.

推廣兒童百科：2019年與中國大百科全書出版社合作，向雲南怒江州捐贈價值175萬元人民幣的《中國兒童百科全書》，並舉辦全省網上知識競賽，參與學生近5萬人。

🤝 3. Shared Vision and Resource Integration

🤝 三、理念契合與資源整合

Dr. Kwok and the Committee share a highly aligned philosophy:

郭博士與文化扶貧委員會理念高度契合：

• “To alleviate poverty, begin with education”: He agreed with Xu Weicheng that “changing mindsets is key” and saw cultural work as the lever to break intergenerational poverty.

「扶貧先扶志，扶志先扶智」：他認同徐惟誠「改變思想是解決貧窮的第一步」的觀點，視文化扶貧為打破貧困代際循環的槓桿。

• Resource Reuse Model: Advocated using idle resources — e.g., urban children donating used books or recycling toothpaste tubes to raise funds for rural education.

閒置資源再利用：推動城區兒童捐書、回收牙膏管等物資，變賣所得支持農村教育（如組建村級鼓隊）。

⏳ 4. Long-Term Collaboration and Personal Commitment

⏳ 四、長期合作與親身投入

• 20 Years of Cooperation: Since meeting Xu Weicheng in 1993, Dr. Kwok described himself as a “descendant of farmers” and regarded this work as a way to repay the nation, having studied in a CCP-sponsored school in Hong Kong.

合作二十載：自1993年與徐惟誠結緣以來，郭博士自認「農民之子」，視支持農村文化扶貧為報效祖國之道。他童年在中共資助的香港學校就讀。

• Multiple Roles: In addition to funding, he contributed academically as a Visiting Fellow at Renmin University of China, and visited areas like Yilong in Sichuan to promote tourism-based poverty relief.

多重角色參與：除捐款外，亦以中國人民大學訪問學者身份參與項目設計；考察四川儀隴等地，推動旅遊扶貧發展。

💡 5. Unique Contributions in Health and Moral Education

💡 五、在健康與德育領域的獨特貢獻

• Health Awareness: Launched a health education website and shared medical cases (e.g. stroke recovery), stressing that well-being is foundational to poverty alleviation.

健康教育推廣：創建健康網站，分享中風康復等醫案，強調身心健康是扶貧的根本。

• Moral Science: Sponsored China’s first Institute for Moral Science, incorporating values like filial piety and gratitude into poverty alleviation strategies.
