A rural school in Guizhou province is under construction thanks to a college student's dream and some generous netizens, Xinhua reported.
Yang Aiqing, 21, a student in Guiyang, capital of Guizhou province, posted a micro blog on Feb 1, offering to donate a pair of silver rings valued at 200 yuan toward the construction of a school building for poor, rural pupils.
Yang's dream touched many netzens and on Feb 5, someone in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, offered to exchange the rings with a piece of jade worth 3,000 yuan.
On Feb 23, after several more rounds of bartering, a netizen from Shanghai offered to pay 300,000 yuan to build the school.
The school, now called Dream School, is under construction in Jiayan village, Nayong county, and will be completed in July.
