luo shengxi, an 89-year-old party member from changshan county, is reluctant to replace his vest even though it has holes in it, but instead donates it to students at the beginning of every school year.

when the reporter met luo shengxi, he was wearing a worn-out vest and sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. on the balcony, there was a simple clothes drying rack with the same vest as his and work clothes issued by his unit before retirement. "this vest costs 9 yuan. i don't ask for much. if i save a little, i can help those needy students a little more." luo shengxi said, pulling his vest.

looking through luo shengxi's living expenses book, the reporter found that he only bought one vegetable a day. apart from underwear, he had not bought new clothes for more than ten years. his average monthly living expenses were less than 500 yuan. however, he has been saving money and dieting for three consecutive years to help needy students, donating a total of 17,000 yuan.

in 2022, luo shengxi found the changshan county charity federation and started the first year of the student aid program, providing 5,000 yuan in funding. xiao jin, who lives in huibu town, became luo shengxi's sponsored student. that year, xiao jin, who came from a poor family, was admitted to university. this funding not only eased the financial pressure on his family, but also gave him great encouragement.

luo shengxi started primary school at the age of 17. due to his poor family conditions, he could only earn tuition fees by working, chopping wood, mowing grass, herding cattle... as long as he could make money, he did everything. it was because of the difficulty of studying at a young age that he knew the obstacles that poor family conditions would put on the road to study. he hoped that through his own efforts, more children would receive a good education and make more contributions to the country and society in the future.
