Zhao Anbang liked Xibao's thorough and shrewd approach, and then asked, "What qualifies as eligible? What doesn't? Perhaps many people are trying to take advantage, falsely claiming their families are impoverished and can't afford tuition. Xibao, don't tell me you didn't consider this; the poorer and more backward the place, the more people try to get something for nothing."
Xibao sighed like an adult, "That's precisely why this scholarship plan exists. The only way they can take advantage is by sending their children to school. If one child goes to school, the tuition is five yuan a year, and they get that five yuan for free. If ten children go to school, they're gaining fifty yuan! With this mindset, girls have a much better chance to attend school than before. Financial aid is not forever; the fundamental solution is to improve their cultural competence and change their thinking. Isn't the root cause of gender preference the feudal mindset?"
