My family receives no outside financial assistance aside from our immediate income. Because both myself and my brothers are studying, our economic condition is getting worse.

I come from Ale village, Judian, Lijiang. I spent my life here and I am going to Yulong Fifth Middle School. Our economy condition is not good even in our village.
