At the end of August, when the enrollment season began, a charity connection staff member informed actress Tang Yan of a special piece of information: a Tibetan girl supported by Tang Yan for 4 years has passed the university entrance exam this year.
However, because her mother was seriously ill and had to be hospitalized and the family still had a young grandchild in need of care, the girl finally decided to give up enrollment.
Through the connection staff, the girl sent an apology to Duong Yen and said that she had "disappointed the person who helped her".
Before this unfortunate incident, Tang Yan not only did not blame but also gave a sympathetic response. The actress said that although she felt regret, she could completely understand "the family burden that she is bearing on her shoulders".
The actress gently encouraged the girl not to blame herself, and emphasized that: "University is an important path in life, but not everything.
Duong Yen also proactively made a promise that if the girl's family situation is better in the future and she wants to study again or improve her knowledge, the actress is still ready to support.
Not only that, on that very day, Duong Yen also proactively asked employees to connect with charity activities to find more people in need of help.
In fact, this is not a temporary charity activity of Tang Yan. Since 2016, after being connected by actor Han Geng with charity activities in the Tibetan region, she has quietly maintained the form of direct support for students for 10 years.
During the support process, Duong Yen always persistently checks students' records herself, and at the same time directly transfers tuition fees and living expenses to students or parents, minimizing intermediaries.
As of 2026, she has supported more than 20 Tibetan female students, many of whom have passed university entrance exams. Some after graduation have become teachers or grassroots officials in their localities, using knowledge to change their lives.
After the information was shared, Duong Yen's attitude received many compliments. Public opinion assessed the actress's response as "warm and profound", because she does not stand in a superior position to educate or create moral pressure, but respects the actual circumstances of a difficult family.
Tang Yan's charity practice of "not imposing, only silently being a support" is said to have shown the precious value of kindness and humanity.
