Laboriously going miles to seek a successor
Evening news having provided an exclusive report that Idy Chan is looking for a volunteer successor, a wave of readers were able to successfully recommend a suitable “female pupil”. Therefore, Idy Chan from Taiyuan, Shanxi south to arrive in Bozhou to visit these impoverished families. “New Year’s Eve and the first day, I arrived in Bozhou, Lixin etc , saw a few families but still they weren’t suitable.” However she was not discouraged and continued south in Changfeng and Chaohu to continue to meet the enthusiastic people. “In Changfeng area, a pottery teacher, was very enthusiastic, and recommended a few of the local children, and I went to see them but at last, couldn’t agree upon it.”
However, Idy says something good did come out of all of this. “While I was in Changfeng village, I saw the authentic common rural lifestyle, ate with them salted meats and village dishes. It gave me a deeper understanding of their life,” Idy said. While searching for a destined person, and having a taste of an authentic village life, “It is good for helping with the charity work.”

Plans to continue looking for a successor
