What about the foreign couple who gave Ma Yun 200 yuan when he was in trouble?
Many people believe in the power of kindness, and a drop of water can wear away a stone. Therefore, a little kindness can also be gathered into a river and a galaxy after years of fermentation, bearing the other side of a person's dream. Some people scoff at this. They think that although some people in the world can repay their kindness and know how to be grateful, there are still many stories about Mr. Dong Guo and wolves, farmers and snakes, which make good people feel chilling. In fact, there is no need to question the power of goodwill because of such cases. There was a true story that year. This story comes from Jack Ma, the richest man in China. When he was a college student, he established a close relationship with an engineer from Australia. He was also grateful for the kindness of the engineer, and this gratitude finally gathered into a huge reward, from 200 yuan to a heavy gift, though not.

1980 held a meeting in Hangzhou, China, and an Australian delegation came to China. There is a retired electrical engineer Ken Morley in the delegation. Mr. and Mrs. Ken Morley came to China with three children. The family played happily in China for a few days and were very happy. At that time, the meeting was held in the scenic West Lake, so Ken and Molly usually chose to take a walk by the West Lake when they were free. During the one-day walk,

Ken Molly and his wife suddenly saw a boy coming towards them. When the boy came to them, he showed them a polite smile and greeted the couple in English. This boy is the later famous businessman Ma Yun. He is still a very young college student. His only idea is to practice English and exercise his social eloquence, so whenever he sees foreigners, he will go up and say hello and want to take this opportunity to exercise.

Later, Ma Yun, who was young but courageous, was appreciated by Ken and Molly. They exchanged contact information with each other After the meeting, Mr. and Mrs. Ken Morley returned to their own country and kept a long-term correspondence with Ma Yun. Since then, time has passed to 1985, and Ken Molly invited him to Australia. At that time, Ma Yun was just an ordinary English teacher and an ordinary English teacher. After getting this opportunity, he still intends to make some money and travel immediately, because he believes that the more he goes, the more opportunities he will get, which ones money can't buy, and which ones are higher horizons and deeper realms.

Later, Ma Yun flew to Australia, and in the process of communication with Ken and Molly, Ken and Molly gradually realized his poverty and embarrassment. They realized that this boy who came from afar with ideals and ambitions could not realize his dreams because he had no money. They thought, since their family is well-off, can they help this ambitious teenager? Later, they reached an agreement with Ma Yun to help him. Ma Yun receives a check from overseas every six months, and the whole story is supported by 200 Australian dollars. For Ma Yun at that time, it was a relief from his urgent need, so he was very grateful to the couple, and he also realized that the grace of dripping water always paid off. Since Ken and Molly have given him so much help, his kindness is natural.

It is a great pity, however, that Ma Yun's benefactor died before he succeeded in starting a business, and closed his eyes in September 2004 at the age of 78. A few years later, at this time, Ma Yun has founded Alibaba, and he is also famous. He didn't want to disappoint Ken and Molly, even though they were dead. He thinks that the late return is also a return, so on February 3, 20 17, Ma Yun returned to Australia again, to the town where Ken and Molly lived, and to a school there. A total of $20 million was donated through Ma Yun Public Welfare Foundation. This money is used as a scholarship to recognize outstanding young people in the school. The scholarship is named "Ma-Morley Scholarship".

After donating money, Ma Yun talked about the original intention of his donation by holding a press conference. It turns out that he benefited from Ken and Molly before, and he can finally broaden his horizons. Now, he also hopes that more ambitious young people can get such an opportunity to change the world, just like when he was a rookie.

When many people meet people who need help, they can't help thinking: If they waste their time helping others, but he doesn't give them what they deserve, isn't it a waste of time? In fact, this is a big misunderstanding, or the best excuse to escape charity. Goodwill is not an investment, and it may not be able to grow melons. An event, Malik Cloud, may indeed be a small probability event, but the idea it conveys is that as long as everyone gives a little love, the world will be better. Ken Molly and his wife gave their love to Ma Yun so that he could get financial aid. In order to convey this love, Ma Yun chose to set up scholarships in the names of Ken and Molly, which is not only the best return, but also the most meaningful charity. In this process, it seems that they don't fully appreciate the gratitude of interaction, but in fact they have experienced a far-reaching charity delivery, which is better than ordinary ones.
