In its blog post, Apple also highlighted some representative Apple employees:
In Shanghai, Tang Hairong, a member of the Apple Store retail store, participated in volunteer activities of several organizations this year, including cleaning up local rivers and helping families of children with disabilities. She also joined the Rainbow Volunteer Club, an organization designed to help adolescent women living in rural areas get guidance from mentors.
In March this year, Tang Hairong, in cooperation with the organization, wrote a letter of support to a young girl. She did not know who would receive the letter at the time, nor did she expect a reply. But in June, she received an email that deeply touched her heart.
Elyn Tang, a member of the Apple Store retail store team, is in Shanghai. Tang Hairong, an employee of the Apple Store retail store, has participated in volunteer activities of several organizations, including the Rainbow Community, which aims to provide support for young girls living in remote areas of China.
"the girl who replied told me that my letter made her feel that she was not alone." Tang Hairong said. She is also the mother of a little girl. "she said she always wanted to be a teacher, but she felt confused and didn't know how to make her dream come true. My letter inspired her to study hard and make her dream come true. I think my words brought strength to her, which also made me feel at ease."
