He held tutoring sessions in mathematics, physics and chemistry on weekends and school vacations, and also took care of the children's mental health. Thousands of students have benefited from Ma's noble actions over the past two decades. Ma said he himself used to be an orphan, and he would not be able to become a teacher without social support.
