The Civil Affairs Bureau of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the Corps Charity Federation, and the Corps Dingxin Social Service and Evaluation Center jointly organized a charitable event in the 104th Regiment of the 12th Division.
"Mom, these flowers are for you!" On March 8th, a young boy named Ansar Maimaitiaili from the 51st Regiment of the 3rd Division ran towards his mother, Senigu Mushaiaili, holding a carnation. His mother opened her arms with a smile to welcome him. Just a year ago, this lively and lovely boy lived in a quiet, silent world.
"We didn't have to pay a single cent for the examination, hospitalization, or surgery fees! The Corps Charity Federation enabled my son to hear and speak!" Whenever Senigu Mushaiaili speaks of her son's journey to restored hearing, she is deeply moved.
In 2025, with support from the Corps' "Regaining a New 'Voice'" public welfare project for hearing-impaired patients, Ansar Maimaiti underwent cochlear implant surgery. This initiative, jointly launched by the China Aging Development Foundation and the Corps Charity Federation, initially planned to assist 50 hearing-impaired patients, with public welfare subsidies exceeding 2.25 million yuan.
In recent years, the Corps Charity Federation has deepened its cooperation with the China Aging Development Foundation, actively carrying out medical assistance programs to provide financial medical aid for disadvantaged groups within the Corps. For patients suffering from major illnesses, special assistance funds have been established to help alleviate their medical burdens and rekindle their hope for life. Concurrently, partnerships with medical institutions have been formed to conduct free clinics and other activities, enhancing health awareness and medical security levels among workers and residents.
Like a gentle stream, kindness nourishes silently. In several companies of the 8th Division's Shihezi City and the 4th Division's Kekedala City, the "Lighting up Villages, Illuminating Ten Thousand Homes" project has led to the installation of 1,387 solar streetlights that illuminate the night, lighting the way home for over 4,200 households. In ten schools located in border regiments, the "Border Education Quality Improvement" project utilized 950,000 yuan in donations to acquire new teaching equipment, further optimizing the allocation of regional educational resources. Through the "Great Love Clears the Dust" project, 200 patients suffering from pneumoconiosis received oxygen concentrators and rehabilitation kits, enabling them to breathe more easily.
Over the past two years, the Corps Charity Federation has focused on the theme "Prosperous Corps · Charitable Action," actively exploring diverse models such as "Charity + Rural Revitalization," "Charity + Education and Healthcare," and "Charity + Support for the Elderly and Children." They have cumulatively raised over 10 million yuan in donations, successfully implementing 23 charitable projects that have benefited nearly 100,000 workers and residents, using targeted assistance to firmly support their dreams of happiness.
"Last year, we were constantly worried about not being able to sell all our apples. Fortunately, the Corps Charity Federation helped us not only find buyers but also secure good prices!" said Li Wenhong, a worker from the 5th Company of the 225th Regiment, 14th Division, on March 3rd. The "help" he referred to was precisely the charity's爱心助农行动 (love-filled initiative to aid farmers) launched in response to the apple surplus in the regiment.
In the autumn of 2025, the 225th Regiment experienced a bumper harvest of apples, with total production exceeding 700 tons. However, market fluctuations and limitations in sales channels made it difficult to sell the large quantity of high-quality apples, severely impacting the farmers' incomes. Upon learning of the situation, the Corps Charity Federation acted swiftly, conducting in-depth field research and formulating a series of targeted support measures.
On one hand, the Federation collaborated with the China Social Welfare Foundation to donate 20 tons of apples to 159 elderly care institutions within the Corps. On the other hand, partnering with Alibaba Group and Tencent Philanthropy, and leveraging the platforms' traffic advantages and public welfare channels, they innovatively launched a special "Apple Aid for Farmers" plan. This initiative helped the 225th Regiment successfully sell 60 tons of apples across the country, increasing the income of workers and residents by over 200,000 yuan.
The charitable efforts within the Corps are continuously innovating and transforming, shifting from simply providing aid ("blood transfusion") to fostering self-sustainability ("blood造血"). Resources are being precisely directed towards livelihood projects such as rural revitalization and community culture, injecting a continuous stream of vitality into grassroots charitable services.
In recent years, the Corps Charity Federation allocated 1.21 million yuan in special funds to address the "transportation短板" (shortcoming) for the Alar City pigeon meat cold chain preservation project in the 1st Division, solving the problem of "good meat not fetching good prices." They also helped broaden the "ecological path" for the forest-raised ecological chicken farming project in Tumxuk City, 3rd Division, guiding workers to raise chickens freely among jujube trees, achieving a virtuous cycle of "raising poultry under the forest, fertilizing the forest with poultry manure." This supported over 1,200 workers in transitioning from "onlookers" to "partners in the industrial chain," securing a stable, income-increasing "rice bowl."
The gentle stream of charity is flowing towards more corners of the Corps. In various divisions, cities, and regiments, charity supermarkets have become "warm-hearted stations" for workers and residents. Families in need can use assistance cards to receive rice, flour, and oil for free. Seniors can purchase non-slip slippers and convenient walking aids at elderly-friendly supermarkets, and also benefit from free blood pressure checks and utility bill payment services. In community爱心互助驿站 (love and mutual aid stations), residents can donate unused clothing or take what they need for free, as "turning闲置 into爱心" (idle items into love) is becoming a common practice.
For many years, the Corps Charity Federation has adhered to its public welfare初心 (original intention), working meticulously in the charitable field. By pooling compassion through multiple channels and widely implementing charitable projects, they have gathered countless drops of kindness into a powerful force, continuously infusing public welfare momentum into the social development and livelihood improvement of the Corps, writing a warm chapter for the charity cause in the new era with concrete actions. This year, the Corps Charity Federation was honored as a "National Advanced Social Organization."
"We must ensure that every bit of goodwill is used where it is most needed, allowing it to truly take root, blossom, and bear fruit," said Ling Yong, head of the Corps Charity Federation.
