Cheng Feng is a teacher. However, to many of her students, the 33-year-old teacher is more than that. Cheng's care for her students has made her "a mother" to them.
Over the past years, Cheng has gone into the mountains and worked in several poor schools in Poyang to help village children.
Right after graduation in 2011, Cheng became a teacher at Tutang Primary School in Youcheng Town of Poyang. Over the following four years, she did well at her job there.
Beitang Primary School is a poor school far away from her home. When Cheng found out it was on going to close because of a lack (缺少) of teachers, she decided to give up her life at Tutang Primary School and go there.
After arriving there, she learned that because of the poor educational conditions, many local parents had sent their children to schools further away. Cheng tried her best to encourage seventeen students to return. She called upon her college classmates to offer a helping hand. To make the students' life more colorful, Cheng learned music, sports and art courses online and then taught the students. As things got well at Beitang Primary School, Cheng went to Siwanghu Primary School.
Cheng's husband is 35 years old. He always supports Cheng's choice. He has also served as a teacher in Poyang over the years.
"We should help the children to see further and dream bigger." Cheng says.
