[Explanation] In Shuichagou Village, Dingyuan Town, High-tech Zone, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, there is such a school with only teacher Zhang Jitang and student Jin Yu.

Jin Yu's father drives a taxi, and his mother takes care of his younger siblings at home. He is not old enough to go out to live in school, so he can only enroll in a local school, but he is the only student in the same class.

Schools with 10 or less students are called "sparrow schools", and these schools carry children's reading dreams.

　　Recently, the reporter came to Shuichagou Village Primary School to experience the school life of "one teacher for one lifetime".

At 8:20 in the morning, Jin Yu's grandmother sent him to Shuichagou Village Primary School, which is 20 minutes away from his home. Teacher Zhang Jitang was already waiting on the road. The teachers and students joined hands and went to school together.

At 8:30, unlike children in the city, Zhang Jitang often takes Jin Yu to read in the countryside early in the morning when the weather is good.

He said that "studying" with nature is the beginning of the day's learning.

　　I put it in a poem: "One mountain, one water, one school, one teacher creates the spring and autumn for one lifetime".

I love my students and my students respect me.

I have fun working and my students have (have) fun learning.

Like this semester, I took my children to Xinglong Mountain to appreciate the natural scenery of our hometown, and cultivated the children's character of loving nature and their hometown.

　　[Explanation] After the early reading, according to the class schedule, the teachers and students began to meticulously attend classes.

After two main classes, Zhang Jitang stood outside the classroom. With a whistle, Jin Yu ran out of the classroom and stood at attention, and began to do morning exercises.

Although there are only two teachers and students, the "sense of going to school" is full.

Similarly, the school's hardware facilities and corresponding sports, music, and art education are also indispensable.

　　In 2017, the old (board house) was demolished and a new (teaching building) was built.

In 2019, the high-tech zone gave us another coal-to-electricity project.

In 2020, school bags, clothes, school supplies and sports equipment were delivered.

Our school district sent some professional teachers of music, art, physical education (and) English from Dingyuan Town Central Primary School to come (class) to us every week.

Although we are remote, I think we also enjoy the quality resources of the town school.

　　[Explanation] After the morning exercise, Zhang Jitang designed a "nature class" for Jin Yu that was difficult for children in the city to experience, and went to the field to practice.

　　Hoe, Jin Woo.

I will hoe. I hoe lilies that day, and garlic sprouts today.

This one blooms first, then bears fruit, with round tomatoes.

In addition, I also organize three to five social practice activities every semester.

Let the children learn to farm, and truly experience the "noon on the day of hoeing the weeds, and sweat dripping into the soil".

What does it mean to face the loess and back to the sky, we must cherish this hard-won happy life.

　　[Explanation] Jin Yu will transfer to Dingyuan Town Central Primary School to live on campus in September this year.

Zhang Jitang said frankly that although he was a bit reluctant, "one person, one school" was not a long-term solution.

　　A reporter from China News Agency learned that over the years, the Gansu Provincial Department of Education has issued a series of policies and measures to solve the problem of rural education to ensure that rural children in need can go to school nearby.

Without these schools, families like Jin-woo would also face new difficulties.

"Don't give up every child" is a topic that the Gansu education system must adhere to for a long time.
