<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, March 10, 2008: Recently, the Loving Hearts Society <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>PKU</strong> organized ten students from schools for the children <strong>of</strong> migrant workers to visit<br />

the <strong>PKU</strong> gymnasium that is set to be the <strong>of</strong>ficial stadium for the Table Tennis<br />

Competitions during the 29th Olympics Games. Along with the visitation to the<br />

gymnasium, they also toured the Nameless Lake, the school library and dined along<br />

with the students <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong> in the Nongyuan cafeteria.<br />

These children all come from the Tongxin Elementary School and the Pugongying<br />

Middle School. Both <strong>of</strong> these schools have been supported by the Loving Hearts<br />

Society for a long time. According to the Society, the members go to these schools to<br />

each every other week.<br />

According to Lee Yanan, a middle school student, for this visit to <strong>PKU</strong>, every class<br />

can only pick two students; so many students did not get picked. This visit changed<br />

her view <strong>of</strong> college life from the joyless days <strong>of</strong> studying to being able to join clubs<br />

and other extracurricular activities.<br />

To welcome the children to the <strong>PKU</strong> gymnasium were members <strong>of</strong> the Society<br />

dressed as the five fuwa. Later, volunteers introduced the stadium in detail to the<br />

kids and some kids asked specific questions about some problems that they see.<br />
