Learning the need to learn: a doctor couple's educational journey in rural China. Interview of Dr Ip-Shing Tsui and Dr Wendy Kit-Che Mak with student reporters.

rather than needs, we refreshingly visited a doctor couple who live their lives differently. Dr Ip-Shing Tsui’s very first request upon greeting us was, “Try not to make the article about us – make it about the project”. This was Dr Tsui and his wife, Dr Kit-Che Mak’s first-ever interview, having previously turned down all requests. Unlike other charities, it was somewhat difficult to find a donation link at Jianxing Charitable Foundation (健行杏社)’s website (jianxing. org). While other charities possess their own offices and backroom staff, Jianxing prizes itself in its smaller compact structure. When asked about the modesty surrounding their project, Dr Mak asked rhetorically, with a smile, “Why should we ask for more than what we need?” Dr Tsui chimed in, “Whatever we do, we do what is needed of us”.
