On the playground, Zhang Zeyan and the two students salutes the national flag. The waving red flags and quiet classrooms have witnessed the rural teacher’s perseverance for decades. "I used to want to work in the town, but I couldn't stop caring about the children here," Zhang Zeyan said. There were also some new teachers to come here to teach, but no one could stay here for various reasons.

After school, Zhang Zeyan watched the children to leave the campus. "I'm going to retire soon, and there's no new teacher now." Zhang Zeyan was a little worried, but then he said firmly, "if there is still no one to teach them, I will choose to stay here if they still need me." In the past 41 years, Zhang Zeyan has taught thousands of students in Xiazhuang village. Now, some of them work in the first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and some of them stay in the village to develop their own business. Zhang Zeyan lit up the children's bright tomorrow with his perseverance. (Translated by Zeng Chenxi, Fathom Language Limited)
