    A 94­year­old retired (退休的) teacher is still busy over the winter vacation, giving lessons to the children in Buchen Village. This is the 21st winter since Ye Lianping first began teaching children Chinese and English for free.

    Most of the children in the village are left behind as their parents work in other cities. Ye decided to offer help by giving free lessons. And his generosity (慷慨) does not stop there. Over the past 21 years, he's spent over 300'000 yuan on the children—almost all his savings (积蓄). In 2012, he set up a scholarship (奖学金) to help the students in need. He doesn't have much money now, but Ye says he is rich in spirit.

    In the summer of 2018, Ye was hurt while riding a bike to school. He was asked to rest in bed for months, but he went back to the children quickly. Now in his 90s, Ye still keeps teaching for five hours every day. Thanks to him, many volunteers from different universities come to the village to teach.

     "This is what education should be like. Its purpose (目标) is to teach students how to become better people'" said Ye.
