His first stop was to teach in the small village of Jietou in the countryside.
Starting from the township, after a 30-mile drive, you have to walk more than ten-mile mountain road to reach the school.
The school does not have electric lights and is often short of water. Food is carried in from the mountain step by step.
Once, the car Qing Minghua and his colleagues were riding broke down halfway due to the bumpy mountain road, so they had to get off and walk, and walked from noon until dark before reaching the school.
The difficult environment caused several teachers to be transferred or diverted one after another, but Qing Minghua chose to stay.
During a home visit, Qing Minghua was attacked by a swarm of hornet on his way home and stung many places on his body. If there is no emergency treatment, his life would be in danger, but he would have to walk forty miles of mountain road to the Shanxia Hospital.
After the people in the mountainous area learned about it, they collected herbs from the mountains to help him relieve inflammation and pain, and organized personnel to carry him to the township health center for treatment overnight.

"On the one hand, influenced by my father, he told me that no matter how hard it is here, it is your hometown. Who will teach you? On the other hand, it is the trust and understanding of mountain students and parents who treat me as a family member. At this point, I choose to stay behind!" Qing Minghua said.
Jiang Fu's mother ran away from home since he was a child. His father was in a bad mental state, and his grandfather was frail and sick. He grew up with his grandmother and had no source of income. He was a poor household in the village.
After Qing Minghua learned about Jiang Fu's family situation, he often sent food, clothing, and grain to help the family life for several years.

Grandma Huang, who rarely travels far, walked more than ten miles of mountain roads to visit: "This is my own peanuts. It represents our heart. You must accept it!"
"Grandma Huang, I take your intentions. We have discipline. I can't accept your peanuts. Jiang Fu goes to school in the county and can't wear tattered clothes. This money will buy him a set of clothes to supplement his food and nutrition!" Qing Minghua took out 600 yuan and stuffed it into Grandma Huang.
"The outside world is very exciting. Only by learning more knowledge can you change your destiny. I hope you will work hard and become a wonderful life!" Qing Minghua continued to encourage both grandchildren and grandchildren.
