中国杭州采荷第三小学的一群孩子将他们10万人民币（约合550万斯里兰卡卢比）零花钱，捐助给1000名低收入家庭的斯里兰卡学生，希望他们度过经济危机，继续上学。

“采荷”意为“采摘荷花”。中国杭州是一座以荷花闻名的美丽城市，杭州西湖被认为是中国最美丽的景观之一。同时，荷花是斯里兰卡人最爱的花卉。

为什么杭州小朋友要将零花钱捐给远在印度洋这边的斯里兰卡小朋友？我们和杭州采荷第三小学的老师和小朋友们取得了联系。以下是他们的回复。

夏睿泽：我捐出自己的零花钱，希望斯里兰卡的小朋友的条件也能更好，能像我们这样舒适地上学。我印象中斯里兰卡的小朋友都很有艺术修养，希望斯里兰卡小朋友们的学习能够越来越进步。还有呢，也希望疫情早点过去，能到我们中国这边来游玩，特别是我们美丽的杭州，因为杭州马上要举办亚运会了。

陈琳钰：我用自己的零花钱钱给斯里兰卡的贫困同学捐款，新冠疫情对世界经济有糟糕的影响，我的妈妈刚好是白衣天使，我知道医疗物资这些都会很紧缺。我印象中斯里兰卡是一个很信奉佛教的国家，跟中国的关系挺好的。我从新闻上看到，今年是中斯建交65周年，希望两国友谊长存。也希望斯里兰卡越来越强大。

陈冠浩：因为我觉得帮助别人就是更好的帮助了自己，虽然是不同国度的学生，但我们的友谊共存。2020年我也参加了在斯里兰卡举行的国际绘画大赛,印象中斯里兰卡是一个非常友好的国家。希望斯里兰卡的同学可以认真学习并且乐观的面对生活，不要因为贫困，经济条件不足而气馁，一切都会好起来的。

孙彦琪：中国也曾是经受过苦难的国家。虽然我没有体会过，但是我能想象那种无助。所以我觉得在别人无助的时候，有条件的我们可以伸出援手。之前我在中国的电视报道上看到过，斯里兰卡的人民都很真诚和友善，当我们我们国家的人过去的时候，他们都会用自己最真诚的那份感情来对待。希望斯里兰卡的人民相信自己，以后也能越来越强大，过上小康生活。

这并不是中国杭州采荷第三小学和斯里兰卡的第一次链接。

2020年，斯里兰卡面临严峻疫情，采三学子通过艺术创作向斯里兰卡传递来自中国的关心和温暖，采三学子们在抗疫期间不仅创作了许多优秀的艺术作品，还联名写了一封致斯里兰卡人的信。字里行间，无不透露着对斯里兰卡友人的关心与鼓励。

信件摘录如下：

“我们创作了很多绘画和书法作品，想通过这些作品表达我和斯里兰卡小朋友团结在一起的心愿。我们中国有一句话叫做‘星星只在黑暗中闪烁’。我们从小接受的教育就是：斯里兰卡人是我们中国人的好朋友。在中国疫情开始的初期，斯里兰卡人给了我们很多鼓励和帮助，这让我们难以忘怀。我们在这里表示感谢！在这个关键时刻，我们也会支持和帮助你们的！

希望疫情结束，斯里兰卡的小朋友们可以来中国杭州看一看，来采荷三小看一看。我们一起游西湖，采荷花。希望在荷花盛开之时，我们一起迎来更大的胜利。”

Why do Hangzhou children donate pocket money to Sri Lankan children

Recently, a group of kids from the Caihe No.3 Primary School in Hangzhou, China donated their pocket money of RMB 100,000 (LKR 5 million) to 1,000 Sri Lankan students from low-income families for further studies and getting through the difficulties in economic crisis.

"Caihe" means "picking lotus" in Chinese.

Hangzhou is a beautiful city famous for its lotus flowers, and Hangzhou West Lake is an iconic, symbolic sight in Hangzhou and is regarded as one of the most beautiful sights in China. At the same time, lotus is also the favorite flower of Sri Lankans.

Why do Hangzhou children donate pocket money to Sri Lankan children far away in the Indian Ocean? We got in touch with the teachers and children of Hangzhou Caihe No. 3 Primary School. Below are their feedbacks.

Xia Ruize: I donated my pocket money. I hope that the conditions of the children in Sri Lanka could be better and they can go to school comfortably. In my impression, the children in Sri Lanka are very artistic. I hope the Sri Lankan children of our age can give full play to their talents.

Also, I wish the epidemic end as soon as possible, so they can travel to China, especially to our Hangzhou City, which is about to host the Asian Games.

Chen Linyu: I donated my pocket money to Sri Lankan students from low-income families. The COVID epidemic has caused a bad impact on the world economy. My mother happens to be a doctor. I know that medical supplies would be in short supply. Sri Lanka is a Buddhism country and has a good relationship with Chinese people. I learned from the news that this year is the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Sri Lanka. Wish the friendship between the two countries last forever and Sri Lanka become stronger and stronger.

Chen Haocun: I believe helping others also helps yourself and make you a better person. Although we are students from different countries, we have a good friendship.

In 2020 I participated in the International Painting Competition in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankans are very friendly. Wish students in Sri Lanka study good and face life in a positive way. Don't be discouraged by the difficulties. Everything will be fine！

Sun Yanqi: China was once a country went through hardship. Although I am too young to experience that hardship which happened long ago, I can imagine the helplessness. So I think we should lend a helping hand if we could. Chinese TV reports that Sri Lankans are very sincere and friendly. When people from our country go to live and work in Sri Lanka, they treat them with their most sincerity. Please believe in yourselves and become stronger! Wish you wealthy and prosperous in the future!

This is not the first time link between Caihe No. 3 Primary School in Hangzhou, China, and Sri Lanka. In 2020, When Sri Lanka was facing a severe COVID situation and lockdown . Caihe students conveyed care and warmth through artistic creation.

At that same time they jointly wrote a letter to Sri Lankans, in which revealed concern and encouragement for Sri Lankan kids of their age.

The letter is excerpted as below：

"We created a lot of paintings and calligraphy works, and we want to express wishes to unite with the Sri Lankan children through these works. We have an old saying in China that 'the stars only twinkle in the dark'. The education we received from childhood is that Sri Lankans are good friends of our Chinese. At the beginning of the COVID epidemic in China, Sri Lankans gave us a lot of encouragement and help, which we will never forget.

We Chinese believes 'Receiving drips of water when in need, and I shall return the kindness with a spring.' We are here to express our gratitude! At this critical moment, we will also support and help you!

When the epidemic passes by, we sincerely invite the chidren of Sri Lanka to come to Huangzhou and visit our school. We wish to enjoy lotus flowers in the West Lake with you, hopefully when the lotus blossoms.
