As an active response, Anxi Hengxing High School released a 22-minute video in the format of new media—"First Lesson: A Walk into Anxi Hengxing High School"—to introduce to freshmen the school's history, motto and the status of public education as welfare in a more direct and clear manner. The video centers around the fundamental question "What to cultivate, how to cultivate, and what for?" President Li Yumin states that Hengxing High School shoulders the unshirkable responsibility of delivering the goal of "cultivating talents for the party, for the country" on the basis of sticking with the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in new era advocated by President Xi Jinping. The first lesson aims to help students who just enter high school "buckle the first button in life".

To implement the concept of “all for the lifelong happiness of students”, Hengxing High School has established a clear-cut goal for educating people: to shape students into modern talents of all-round development of physique, morality and intelligence, who aspire for high ambitions, disseminate integrity and virtue, uphold good traits, show gratefulness and indebtedness, and possess a strong sense of responsibility and innovation.

In the First Lesson video, it is emphasized that to become a qualified Hengxing'er who knows the knack for handling both things and persons, students should be expected to be self-disciplined, obey the rules, and develop good study habits like making sound preparation, being attentive in class, conducting independent research, and reviewing. They should set academic goals, take actions to make them a reality, and study with perseverance as well as devote themselves into a variety of illuminating community activities, experience practice as much as possible, and cultivate a sense of collaboration, responsibility, gratitude and innovation.

Mr. Ke's Big Heart for Education

In 2002, Mr. Ke Xiping, a distinguished private entrepreneur, successively invested more than 300 million yuan to create Hengxing High School, the first modern private school in Anxi's tea village. Today, the school has grown into a modern, full-time, non-profit, privately run school that enjoys a high reputation in Quanzhou and even Fujian Province for excellence in education.

In the video, Mr. Ke also shared his expectations for freshmen. "I hope that with the support of our group and the efforts of the entire faculty, children in the tea village can receive quality education that turns them into talents who give back to the society and their hometown. This is my original intention to found a non-profit school. I wish Hengxing High School will deliver more outstanding graduates to serve hometown people. It is an unremitting pursuit for me to make Hengxing High School a century-old school!"

In the words of President Li Yumin, Mr. Ke Xiping has a successful career and is keen on promoting education for the well-being of the tea village. Over the past 20 years, he never takes a penny from the school but has invested over 100 million to improve the school's educational conditions, to rebuild and expand the school, to provide a better environment for kids from the tea village. He is truly praiseworthy for his zeal for education and genuinity of giving back to the society.
