As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guangxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn't what I expected. It didn't look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and the other for Grades 4, 5 and 6. There was a third one for me.

The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. To my surprise, though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.

I was busy preparing lessons, reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hard-working children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends.

I have worked in Longzhou for a year now. I'm happy, and the experience has been very useful for me. I love the small village and the children. In fact, I would like to continue working here.

Beijing’s two sessions are being widely discussed across China. During the sessions, many proposals and suggestions were put forward. Here are three proposals that were discussed during the sessions that might interest you.

Smartphone ban

According to a survey made last year, 68.1 percent of Chinese primary and junior high school students have their own smartphones.Lei Yanqin, a deputy, suggested that smartphones should be banned at schools nationwide. She said that listening to music and playing games in class not only influence teachers, but also make it difficult for students to pay more attention to lessons. She added that students also like to show off their phones too much.

New uniform designs

Most junior high schools in China require students to wear a uniform. However, only three in ten students are satisfied with their uniforms. Some deputies suggested that the uniforms in schools could be redesigned. They said the new design could add more features of traditional Chinese culture. They required that better quality cloth should be used to make the uniforms so that they will be more comfortable to wear.
