Six high school graduates from low-income families who have returned to China from abroad received financial aid from the government in Xiamen, East China's Fujian province on Aug 17.
The young students, who are all about to start college, each received 3,000 yuan ($450) from the foreign and overseas Chinese affairs office of Xiamen municipal government.
Shao Yuqin, deputy head of the office, presented the subsidies to the students. He encouraged the teenagers by saying that difficulties are only temporary and that they could change their fates by studying hard.
Hong Xiuliang, one of the six young people to receive the subsidy, made a speech on behalf of the students, in which she expressed her gratitude to the government.
Hong said the subsidy would help alleviate some of the burden on her family, and promised to study hard and master professional skills in college, so that she can make a contribution to society in the future.
