In July 2022, the CCTF worked with China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec Group) to launch the "Spring Bud Gas Station" project in response to the initiative launched by Professor Peng Liyuan to further implement the Spring Bud Project — Dream of the Future Action.

The "Spring Bud Gas Station" project is mainly designed to build girl friendly growth venues, organize training activities for rural teachers, invite volunteers to establish pairing-up relations with girls and their families, offer financial assistance to disadvantaged girls, provide precise aids to in-need girls and their families, meet diverse development needs of girls and promote their comprehensive development on the basis of guaranteeing their right to education.

So far, the "Spring Bud Gas Station" project has built 33 girl friendly growth venues in 12 provincial regions and held 105 sessions of theme activities both online and offline. By 2025, it is expected to establish 100 girl friendly growth venues with a beneficiary population of about 200,000.
