When I first went to college, I was very frugal because of poor family conditions. Eating in the canteen every day is no more than six yuan, two fried dough sticks and a cup of soybean milk for breakfast, two for each person. For lunch and dinner, our school canteen can serve half a dish, so it costs about two yuan to add 40 cents of rice and three half dishes at a time.

If you are hungry after studying at night, add a tea egg at most.

Netizen "Shannon" said that it was like this for a while. Suddenly one day, I received an email from the campus card management center asking him to receive the living expenses, 360 yuan.

"I immediately received. I have never told anyone about my family. Although the tuition was borrowed by my parents, I never told anyone in college that my family was in a bad situation. "

Shannon ran to the card management center and asked, "Why do you want to give me living expenses? I didn't apply, you must be mistaken! "

The staff said that the school will monitor the consumption of each student's card in the canteen. "If the monthly consumption is lower than that of 200 yuan, it will automatically give you living expenses."

These words made Shannon burst into tears instantly.

"There is such an operation ..." Shannon's answer got 40,000 "likes" on Zhihu.

"I love my alma mater, China University of Science and Technology!" Shannon said at the end of the story, "My alma mater has many excellent things that I sincerely agree with, such as atmosphere, wisdom, concentration, low profile and so on. And this moment is a sense of identity that directly hits the soul. "

"There are also such schools, with your heart." "Warm, this is the positive energy of wisdom!" "The Chinese University of Science and Technology is really human and powerful ..." The story of "warm heart+wisdom" has been praised by netizens.

"China University of Science and Technology has solved the opposite of students' self-esteem and economic embarrassment with only a simple computer program. Humanistic care is also a silent education for students, praise! " Netizen "Jin Yuling" said.

Dong Yu, director of the Department of Education of the Chinese University of Science and Technology, said that the scientific name of this method is "invisible bursary", which was initiated by the Chinese University of Science and Technology in 2004 to enable poor students to obtain bursaries with more dignity.

"We are using a set of algorithms to do this. There were some' loopholes' at the beginning. For example, some girls have low consumption because of dieting, two people cooperate with one person to eat vegetables with one card, and a few local students often go home for dinner, or some students eat outside school. These have caused the data automatically generated by the one-card database to be inconsistent with the real situation to a certain extent. " Dong Yu said.

Therefore, since 2005, the Chinese University of Science and Technology has improved the statistical method of data, conducted a detailed survey of freshmen's psychological and family status by using the network, and established an updated database of poor students every semester by integrating the living conditions of students in various departments. Through careful situation statistics and optimized big data analysis, the "bad data" that can't reflect the real situation are screened out to provide financial support for truly poor students.

It is understood that since 2004, the University of Science and Technology of China has "implicitly subsidized" 40,000 poor students, with a total subsidy of 6 million yuan. In recent years, many colleges and universities in China have gone to China University of Science and Technology to learn from the classics. This "low-key and warm" approach has been implemented in more and more university campuses.
