Mabian Yi Autonomous County is a designated assistance county of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Sichuan Province and Leshan City. Due to historical reasons, the county has long been influenced by factors such as inconvenient transportation, poor families, and backward thinking of son preference, and a group of special ones have emerged."Older and lower grade" students. This group of students, like tung flowers, may sometimes grow "slowly", but as long as they have dreams, there must be hope in life. In July 2019, under the promotion of cadres sent by the Supervision Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the "Tonghua Class" was established to focus on solving the problem of "older and lower grade students" in the county. "Tonghua" is named after Tonghua. Although the flowering period of Tonghua is late, it is still beautiful and gives people infinite hope.

In 2020, with the support of all parties, Tonghua Class was upgraded from "class" to "school", relying on vocational middle schools in the county to set up Tonghua School, and "older and lower grade students" began to study intensively. The school independently develops courses, compiles teaching materials, arranges teaching contents, tailors learning and training packages for "Tonghua students", and optimizes courses such as rule of law education, employment skills and practice development to improve students’ learning ability and academic level in an all-round way. The county’s "Tonghua School" opened 7 classes and enrolled 272 students, of whom 115 successfully advanced placement and 61 returned to normal grades, which played an important role in realizing the goal of "zero dropout" and "controlling dropout and ensuring learning" in the county.

It is reported that the filming of "Amoy Ayi" made the creative team understand the children in Mabian’s thirst for knowledge, and hoped to do more for the local children besides the restoration of art. Therefore, the film producers decided to co-sponsor.In the charity activity of "Let every child read a good book", 1 yuan money will be donated to Mabian Education Development Fund for every movie ticket sold in the subsequent film release. The creative team supports the education in Mabian county with practical actions and strength, which also makes the film more valuable and practical.(Author: Zhao Tingting Zhou yejia)
