Origin: "Big Eyes" Su Mingjuan is a famous landmark photo of Project Hope.

1991may, 7-year-old Su Mingjuan was a first-grade student in zhang wan primary school. Jie Hailong, a photojournalist of China Youth Daily, went to Jinzhai County to interview and shoot Project Hope, and went to more than a dozen villages. Finally, he came to zhang wan Primary School and found Su Mingjuan who was in class. A pair of big eyes, which can especially represent the children in poor mountainous areas "eager to learn", took his shot. This picture shows a little girl with a pencil point in her hand and two big eyes looking straight ahead, eager for knowledge. After this photo named "I want to go to school" was published, it was quickly reprinted by major domestic newspapers and became the propaganda symbol of China Hope Project, and Su Mingjuan's big eyes eager to study also became the image representative of Hope Project.
