Can middle school students be "teachers"? How will they teach? Li Ziqi, a l3-year-old boy from Chengdu Xichuan Middle School, Sichuan. Volunteered to teach primary school students in a village.
Li joined a teaching activity in Xichang county, Sichuan, last summer. "I read the news that teachers were not enough in the village, so I wanted to give some classes to the kids there," said Li. His parents helped him get in touch with the school.
"My third-grade students have subjects like Chinese and English every day, so I wanted to teach them chess ," Li said.
Li carefully gave 10 chess lessons with rules and real games. "Chess can help with kids' logical thinking. They love the chess class very much," said Li. "They now know that there are many ways of learning, not just learning from books. I feel so proud !"
Before leaving, Li Ziqi visited his students' homes. One father went to town to buy tea drinks for him. "I was so moved by these people when I saw the drinks. I know it is a kind of luxury for the family," Li told us.
Li also learned important life lessons. "The kids there live a hard life, but they are hopeful about the future. That helps me get over hard things in life," Li said.
