A fund of 1.5 million yuan was founded for assistance of poverty-stricken families. Of the first fund of 500,000 yuan, 300,000 would be used to help about 10 children of congenital heart defects, and 200000 would be used for the surgical operations of 100 sufferers of cataract in Yuyao and Jiangbei.
