Yang Jiaran is a left-behind child who has good academic performance but doesn’t like to communicate with his friends very much. During the holidays, watching TV and doing homework used to be her whole life. But since 2019, her holiday life has become colorful.

"Every time I receive the’ Tiejian Sunshine’ filial piety pension fund, it is the happiest moment for the old people in the village. Just after the broadcast notice in the village ended, the old people came to the village Committee to collect money. " Sun Jun, secretary of Hongqiangou Village, Beishacheng Township, said: "At first, the villagers were skeptical, fearing that the filial piety payment would be cheated.
