Actress Jiang Yiyan has spent around a month a year volunteering as a teacher in mountain villages in Guangxi for nine years in row(连续).
In 2007, when she took part in film shooting in that area. she was shocked by the poverty(贫穷) there. Children had to walk along mountain roads to attend classes at a neighbouring village school. So she came up with the idea of doing something for these children. Besides giving classes, Jiang also plays games with children and sings songs for them. And she cares much for their daily life. Moreover, she donated billion yu an to set up a fund(基金) for students there.
"Like the grass in stone clefts(裂缝), they have to try their best to find sunshine on their own rather than waiting for others to do it for them."Jiang said.
When asked how she persisted in her volunteer to services for such a long time, Jiang said,"I'm not persisting but enjoying".
"It's not that I gave these kids love. I am actually learning about love."Jiang added.
To enjoy and share love is seen as the most important thing in her life. At the same time, children in the big mountains have also influenced Jiang.
Whenever I meet with something difficult to do, I'll think of these kids. Born in the kind of environment, they have to learn to face a lot of difficult things from birth."So, why can't I?"Said Jiang.
