Many Chinese people were moved by an eight-year-old girl, Zhang Xiaoxiao. She said she would give shrimps (虾) from her school lunch to her mother who was in poor health and unable to do heavy work. “She said she couldn’t eat them all, but I know she is worried about me,” her mother said.
The headmaster of the school played an important part in educating such a loving girl. The headmaster said, “In our school, there are more than 180 students, and most of them are left-behind children. Some of them can meet their parents only once a year.” Some children live in the school. Because some of them were too young to live alone, he and his wife lived with boys and girls separately. The headmaster tried his best to help the students. Though born in 1982, his hair had turned white and his students called him “headmaster papa” or “headmaster grandpa”.
Besides the government subsidies (补贴), the headmaster also spent his own money buying food, such as shrimps and beef. The school lunch had become the best meal for the children. He wanted the left-behind children to have good education even in villages. He worked as an English teacher, Chinese teacher, purchaser (采购员), electrician (电工) and even a cook. With his effort, there were more students in the school than before. But what worried him most was that students didn’t have special sports, music and art lessons. He expected to have art and sports teachers in his school.
When Zhang Xiaoxiao’s story was reported, many people paid attention to the school and volunteers came. Now, the school has a full-time English teacher and three volunteer teachers giving children music and physical classes.
