Veteran member donates 1 million yuan to Party

Days before July 1, when the Communist Party of China celebrated the 103rd anniversary of its founding, 97-year-old veteran CPC member Hao Jiarun donated 1 million yuan ($138,000), almost all his lifetime savings, to the Party.

"The country needs money in many ways when it's on a path to become more prosperous," he said. "While I'm still alive, I want to hand over my remaining money to the Party, the country and the people."

Hao joined the army at 15 and became a CPC member at 16.
