Dingxi: the fragrance of potatoes spread the truth in all directions

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang! We will certainly study hard. " A few days ago, two pupils from Sanwan Primary School in Shixiawan Township, Anding District, said excitedly when they received a donation from Aunt Zhang Li in Hebei Province.

In 2014, Anding District prepared to establish a demonstration zone for well-known brands of the national potato industry. In order to expand the influence of Dingxi potato brand, the "Dingxi Potato Brand Creative Design Competition" was held in the area, which collected 2735 publicity slogans and 110 potato logo designs. After the experts' initial evaluation, re-evaluation and final evaluation, 30 entries from all over the country stood out. When the staff contacted to cash in the prize money of the competition, they were quite moved by a phone call far away from home.

"when I was a child, I suffered a lot because of family difficulties, and the 200 yuan bonus didn't help me much. Please donate it to the poor children in the poor mountainous areas." When cashing in the prize money of the competition, Ms. Zhang Li, the second prize winner of the propaganda slogan, from the High-tech Zone of Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, politely refused on the phone.

"this gives us a 'difficult problem'!" According to the competition staff, in 2015, Anding District won the title of "National Potato Industry well-known Brand Establishment demonstration Zone", while Ms. Zhang Li's "love" has not yet been donated. For more than half a year, they have been making great efforts to find donors, and it was not until the eve of New Year's Day that they identified eligible donors-- two poor students from Sanwan Primary School in Shixiawan Township.

After the object of donation was determined, the staff of the competition went to Sanwan Primary School in the depths of the mountain on December 31, 2015 to send "love donation" to the children.

"money has a price, but love is priceless. We will certainly educate our children so that they can study hard and be useful to society. " Gao Yuan, headmaster of Sanwan Primary School, said solemnly.

The fragrance of potato overflows in all directions, and the truth is spread through thousands of miles. Now, Anding District has made efforts again to create a national demonstration zone for potato staple food. In this new historical journey, with the strong support of all sectors of society, the "core area of Chinese potato capital" potato flowers will be more brilliant, potato fragrance will last for a long time.
