苟文極（以下簡稱小苟）是一名通江第二中學的高三學生，他的學習成績一直不錯，立志能像父親一樣做一名律師。然而，爸爸早前因病去世，一家五口，包括媽媽、姐姐和年近八旬的爺爺奶奶的生活擔子，只靠當臨時工的母親獨力支撐。微薄的收入應付兩位長者的日常醫藥費已是力不從心，若不是香港善學通過彩虹村平臺支援這個家庭，小苟和姐姐可能已經輟學。
收到受惠家庭的短信是意料之外的事情，短信原文是這樣的：
「您好，我不知道要怎麼樣來感謝您們！首先祝您和您的家人身體健康！我是苟文極的媽媽，感謝有您們為我們這個殘缺的家庭送來關懷和幫助！要不是您們，我的子女只有輟學了。」字裡行間，充滿了這位母親的感激之情。
父親的離世對小苟的打擊是巨大的。小苟吃的苦頭比同齡孩子多，卻讓他更加沉著成熟，有著明確的目標和理想。他一直相信，只要肯努力，總有一天會守得雲開見月明！
這是小苟同學的生活信條，他也一直在為之堅持，為之努力！
Gou Wen Ji (Xiao Gou) is a high school grade three student at Tongjiang Second Middle School. His grades have always been good, and aspires to be a lawyer just like his father.
However, when his father passed away due to illness, the burden of being the sole financial support for his family of five (including his mother, sister and his elderly grandparents) fell upon the shoulders of his mother who only had a part time job. The low wages of a part time job were barely sufficient for covering the daily medical costs of his grandparents, and had it not been for Sheen Hok and Rainbow Village’s support for this family, Gou and his sister would have dropped out of school by now.
Receiving a letter from Gou’s family was unexpected, and it was as follows:
‘Dear all, I have no ideas how to express my sincere thanks to you all! First, I hope that you and your family are all well and healthy! I am Gou Wen Ji’s mother, and thank you for the support and care to our family! Had it not been for you, my children would have had to drop out of school’. Between each word, we could see their gratefulness shine.
The passing of Gou’s father was a huge hit to Gou, and despite suffering more loss and experiencing more challenges, it matured Gou at his early age. With his determination and aspirations, he always believes that as long as he puts in effort, there will be a day where his dreams will come to fruition.
This is Gou’s message, he always perseveres and tries.
即便是週末，小苟也會在家自覺的學習 Even during the weekend, Gou stays at home to study.
回家後，為了讓辛苦的母親休息一下，煮飯洗碗這些家務就被小苟承包了 After returning home from school,Gou washes all the dishes and helps with chores to alleviate the stress of his tired mother.
