[Explanation] Due to the scarcity of teachers in mountainous areas, in a mountainous elementary school in Pingshan County, Hebei Province, there is a physical education teacher who not only teaches mathematics, but also teaches 6 subjects including Chinese, English, science, morality, and physical education. This is a veritable name Almighty teacher.

On September 18th, the reporter met Zhao Pengfei at Shengdu Primary School in Mengjiazhuang Town, Pingshan County, Shijiazhuang City.

  Compared with the children in the city, the children in the mountains still have less external knowledge. In order to let the children learn more knowledge, I spent more time preparing six subjects after class.

  [Explanation] Zhao Pengfei is a "post-90s" graduate student. In 2016, his lover went to Nepal to teach for three years. He is also facing the imminent graduation. On the one hand, in order to make his lover work in Nepal with peace of mind, he can take care of his parents for his lover. He also wanted to do something for the children in the mountains like his lover. Zhao Pengfei was admitted as a special post teacher in his lover's hometown in 2017.

  I like the English spoken by the teacher, because the teacher graduated from postgraduate, his English class is very lively, and especially improved my English (spoken English).

  I especially like the language our teacher speaks. We are now learning the text "Grassland". He showed us his experience in Inner Mongolia (tell us about it) and photos so that we can better understand.

  I like the physical education class given by our teacher the most. I like playing basketball the most. We used to play basketball just for fun. After Teacher Zhao came, he taught us physical education. He taught us some standard movements and techniques.

  [Explanation] From 2017 to 2020, Zhao Pengfei's three-year special post teacher service period has expired, and it is time for him to choose again.

But Zhao Pengfei chose to continue to teach here, because he could not let go of these children in the mountains.

  When I first came, I wanted to come for three years. After the service period expired (teacher career) for three years, I wanted to take another job, but I gradually developed feelings with the children and didn't want to leave here.

  [Explanation] Zhao Pengfei said that now his lover has returned from the Nepalese support education and is working as a teacher in Shijiazhuang City. They can only see each other once a week, and his lover is basically dealing with family matters.

Despite this, his lover still supports his decision to stay in the mountains.

  (Although) I spend more energy (and time), but the children often give me more spiritual feedback. There are fewer and fewer children (students in the village now), but as long as there are children, I will continue Teaching here.
