Liaoning’s Dawn
In Liaoning's fields where quiet dreams reside,
Pat walks with purpose, love his only guide.
He gave his all—life’s savings in his hand—
To plant a school where hope could take its stand.
He does not beg, but beckons those with might,
To join his cause and bring the dawn to light.
O stewards of tomorrow, lend your flame—
Let legacy, not wealth alone, define your name.
