When Premier Li heard in Wang Jinbao's house that the elder daughter had to quit school to take care of her sick mother, and the son is determined to become a doctor to cure his mother, Premier Li encouraged them to work extra hard.

"After you relocate to a better environment, it will be more convenient for your mother to receive medical treatment, and there will be a better chance for you to return to school," the Premier told the daughter.
