[Commentary] Peng Youxing, 27, is a "post-90s" rural teacher in Shuangshan Primary School, Longchang Town, Zhijin County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province. Since 2018, he has taken the responsibility of picking up students. For two years, every working day, Peng Youxing will run to the village entrance and organize more than 150 students to line up and go to school along the way.

  [Explanation] At 6:30 in the morning, Peng Youxing started his morning run along the route where the students went to school. His end point was a village entrance 2 kilometers away from the school. Along the way, because the students were more scattered, Peng Youxing needed to run back and forth on the country road and organize a batch of students to travel safely. The time spent in these 2 kilometers can be far greater than his usual pace.

  It is about 6:48, (for a long time) because of rain, it may be around 7 o'clock, this time period (students) is the most, usually at 6:40, 30 is the most, then The reason for the rain today may be more scattered. A few (students) along the way, but in general this situation, I always set up a few teams together.

  [Explanation] The students of Shuangshan Primary School mainly come from the villages of Shuangshan and Yingcang in Longchang Town. There is a distance between the village and the school. In Peng Youxing's view, the village road is narrow and the students are active. There are many hidden safety hazards along the way. Combined with his exercise habits, Peng Youxing thought of escorting students to and from school.

  I usually have the habit of exercising. I like to run from the school to the mountain over there, the place in Yingcang Village. At this time, I found that there were a lot of students on the road, and then they might be scattered in the middle of the road, and maybe they found that it was pushing, you pushed me. Either just go to Kanzi with your hand and head to see, there are many (hidden security risks). Then I shouted at the top of the mountain, and I said, "Why? Line up! Why? Line up!" Then in this way, they slowly shouted that they walked neatly into a line and then ran from school to the mountain every time In this process, I will ask them to organize the queue. If they see me for a long time, they will automatically form a team as soon as they see me.

  [Commentary] Pick up students in the early morning and send them home in the afternoon. Due to the long walking distance, how to pass the time on the road so that the students do not feel tired? Along the way, under the leadership of Peng Youxing, the students recite poetry and sing songs. When they encounter garbage along the way, the students will take out their prepared pockets and pick up the garbage one by one.

  When he saw it, he picked it up and took the garbage along the way, and then he did not throw it until he reached our garbage point. So in this process, I said (holding) that you are not afraid of getting your hands dirty? I sometimes think of it this way, but sometimes the child does have such a habit of behavior. I think it is the best and I don’t have to stop him. Because it may be a good habit in the future for his (later) life.

  It was a very happy feeling, because the teacher was also very hard. The teacher sent us to school every day, took us home, and then when we saw the garbage ourselves, we picked it up.

  [Commentary] In 2018, Peng Youxing was admitted to Shuangshan Primary School in Longchang Town, Zhijin County through recruitment of special post teachers. In addition to serving as a language teacher at the school, Peng Youxing is also responsible for the teaching of physical education, music and ideological and political education. Facing this group of shy mountain babies, Peng Youxing overcomes the difficult task of teaching and uses his enthusiasm to lead the students. After two years, the students have changed a lot.

  Before every class, I prepare some materials, whether it is props, music, or equipment. Secondly, in the course, I will incorporate some music, dance, and some weird things that our classmates don't know, and integrate them to raise children's interest in learning. After I came to this place, I hoped to pass on what I had studied in Guiyang, many related activities and the like, and then pass it on to the school to give the school more passion and more passion.

  Seeing children happy in the countryside every day can bring them more things. I think this is the most valuable and meaningful thing. Maybe the life in the countryside is very difficult. The grassroots life I feel very tired. I think that in fact, as long as everyone takes their minds upright, do one thing seriously, and accomplish one thing in a down-to-earth manner, I believe that there must be improvement and gains on this platform.
