They cordially greeted the children who had undergone the second round of congenital heart disease screening in Horqin Right Front Banner, Hinggan League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from June 28 to 29th. They presented the children with carefully prepared gifts and sincere blessings.

Loving visits, warming the path to recovery for sick children
In the wards of the Capital Children's Medical Center affiliated to Capital Medical University, Vice Chairman Li Wei inquired in detail about the postoperative recovery of the children and presented them with toys, stationery, and other gifts. The children's faces were filled with innocent smiles, and the gratitude of the parents was evident. One parent of a child said excitedly, "Thank you to the Foundation and the experts for their help. Our child is recovering very well now, and we can finally rest assured." The four children visited this time had successfully undergone surgery and were recovering well. Another child will come to Beijing for surgery in late July.
Up to now, the Foundation has conducted two screenings for congenital heart disease in the Horqin Right Front Banner, in February and June 2025, respectively. Thirteen children have been diagnosed, and ten have been successfully operated on and cured. The foundation has provided substantial relief funds, changing the life trajectories of the children living on the grasslands.
