Date of documentation: August 29th 2016苟文极（以下简称小苟）是一名通江第二中学的高三学生，他的学习成绩一直不错，立志能像父亲一样做一名律师。然而，爸爸早前因病去世，一家五口，包括妈妈、姐姐和年近八旬的爷爷奶奶的生活担子，只靠当临时工的母亲独力支撑。微薄的收入应付两位长者的日常医药费已是力不从心，若不是香港善学通过彩虹村平臺支援这个家庭，小苟和姐姐可能已经辍学。
收到受惠家庭的短信是意料之外的事情，短信原文是这样的：
「您好，我不知道要怎麽样来感谢您们！首先祝您和您的家人身体健康！我是苟文极的妈妈，感谢有您们为我们这个残缺的家庭送来关怀和帮助！要不是您们，我的子女只有辍学了。」字裏行间，充满了这位母亲的感激。
父亲的离世对小苟的打击是巨大的。小苟吃的苦头比同龄孩子多，却让他更加沉着成熟，有着明确的目标和理想。他一直相信，只要肯努力，总有一天会守得云开见月明！
这是小苟同学的生活信条，他也一直在为之坚持，为之努力！
Gou Wen Ji (Xiao Gou) is a high school grade three student at Tongjiang Second Middle School. His grades have always been good, and aspires to be a lawyer just like his father.
However, when his father passed away due to illness, the burden of being the sole financial support for his family of five (including his mother, sister and his elderly grandparents) fell upon the shoulders of his mother who only had a part time job. The low wages of a part time job were barely sufficient for covering the daily medical costs of his grandparents, and had it not been for Sheen Hok and Rainbow Village’s support for this family, Gou and his sister would have dropped out of school by now.
Receiving a letter from Gou’s family was unexpected, and it was as follows:
‘Dear all, I have no ideas how to express my sincere thanks to you all! First, I hope that you and your family are all well and healthy! I am Gou Wen Ji’s mother, and thank you for the support and care to our family! Had it not been for you, my children would have had to drop out of school’. Between each word, we could see their gratefulness shine.
The passing of Gou’s father was a huge hit to Gou, and despite suffering more loss and experiencing more challenges, it matured Gou at his early age. With his determination and aspirations, he always believes that as long as he puts in effort, there will be a day where his dreams will come to fruition.
This is Gou’s message, he always perseveres and tries.
即便是週末，小苟也会在家自觉的学习

回家后，为了让辛苦的母亲休息一下，
煮饭洗碗这些家务就被小苟承包了
After returning home from school,
