Teenagers are the future of the country and the hope of mankind. Mr. Liang Qichao once said, "Young people are wise, rich and strong." The rapid economic growth, the remarkable improvement of comprehensive national strength and the widespread popularization of basic education in China provide unprecedented development space for students. However, the division of modern disciplines is becoming more and more detailed, the cost of higher education is becoming more and more expensive, and the employment competition is becoming more and more fierce. The commercialization of the whole society has hindered their all-round and healthy growth to some extent. If the accompanying modern education popularizes the standardized production of talents close to the assembly line, Kaifeng still hopes that every student will have the opportunity to appreciate the ideal of "perfection" that may have been lost forever, or that no one may have ever realized it, and cultivate themselves, study and help the world under the illumination of this ideal.

The maturity and perfection of China society cannot be separated from the establishment and perfection of civil society, and the harmonious development needs the full participation and promotion of a large number of non-profit organizations and talents with practical ability.
