Miaoli County Magistrate Chung Tung-Chin attended the event, praising Village Chief Yu Deming for his sustained commitment. Yu Deming has personally funded this scholarship initiative for 12 consecutive years, demonstrating a deep-seated dedication to nurturing the local youth. Since its inception in 2015, the program, themed "Caring for Education, Supporting Student Learning," has disbursed a cumulative total of over NT$940,000.
