One Gold Medal, One Hope Primary School Haier Group officially launches its plan of "One gold medal, one hope primary school" Just after Chen Xiexia, a player from Guangdong, grabbed the first gold medal for the Chinese sports delegation in the Olympic Games on August 9, Haier Group declared the launch of its plan of "one gold medal, one hope primary school"--to fund the building of the first Haier hope primary school in Longlin Town, Lixian County, Longnan region, Gansu Province. The Olympics is a grand event for all humanity. To extend it to those children in poor areas, Haier Group announced on December 3, 2007: For every gold medal of the Chinese players during the Beijing Olympic Games, Haier will donate money to build one hope primary school for the children in poor areas in an effort to communicate the Olympic spirits among the children and enrich and extend the social value of the Olympics. By the press time, it has been 5 days into 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. During these 5 days, the Chinese players have conquered the audience with wonderful performances: the Chinese players had bagged 13 gold medals by 12:00 am on August 13. Correspondingly, Haier Group has donated to build 13 hope primary schools. According to informed sources, under the support of China Youth Development Foundation, Haier had locked in the general locations of these primary schools by the end of May, 2008. As one gold medal after another surfaced, the specific location of every primary school has been gradually identified. To better display the Olympic spirits, Haier will also invite the Olympic champions to attend the inauguration ceremonies of these hope primary schools. The Olympic competitions are still going on in full swing and the Chinese players are struggling for new victories. Haier will also take this opportunity to sow the seeds of hope among more children in poor areas.

During the earthquake on May 12, the school was severely damaged and part of the teaching buildings collapsed. Today, hundreds of teachers and students can only have classes in make-shift tents. At the news that Haier Group will build a new school for them because Chen Xiexia won a gold medal in the Olympics, the children in the tent primary school were so excited that they saluted to the national flag during the simple flag-raising ceremony, to show their thanks to Chen Xiexia.
