Original title: 6-year-old children go to school by 60000 steps mountain road. After the transformation of boarding system, the school has become their new home
Huanglian primary school in Zhenxiong County, Yunnan Province, 2100 meters above sea level, with an average annual temperature of only 10 degrees.
In order to study, nearly 200 children have to get up at 5 o'clock in the early morning of winter. Go out with torches and flashlights. Most of them are left behind children.
The farthest student has to walk three or four hours on the mountain road, 14 kilometers one way. In winter, the frost is big, and the roads in some places are very narrow. Students will fall into the pond if they are not careful.
The youngest child is only 6 years old and has to walk more than 60000 steps to and from school in one day. Walking to school is even longer than studying in school.
Ma Yun public welfare foundation has made several local visits, and the best way is to build a boarding system. Construction started in 2017, and this year both students and teachers moved in.
The school has carried out the boarding system transformation, built the dormitory with floor heating, reading bar, science laboratory, art room, left behind children's family bar and so on. Students in their spare time, but also develop their own interest.
Principal Xie Hanjiang, who was born in 1994, simply moved to the school to take care of the students' study and life. Be a teacher during the day and a parent at night. He also advised the students who dropped out of school to work and were forced to get married.
Because Xie Hanjiang used to be left behind children, he knows that these children need to be given more love. So he's here, building a new home for the kids.
At present, the school has 13 teachers, each of whom has to undertake the teaching task. In addition, it has also taken the place of the interest class of the rural children's palace and is also a life teacher. After boarding, children's academic performance and behavior habits have also been greatly improved.
Children who used to walk 60000 steps a day now only need to walk once a week. More than a dozen children who worked and studied with their parents also returned to their hometown to go to school.
