Village teacher devotes himself to education for over half century  

Jiang Yuanwu teaches students at Changtian Primary School in Changfeng Village, southwest China’s Guizhou Province on September 3, 2019. When he was 18 years old, he took over his father’s teaching position in a primary school in the remote village where he started teaching around 100 students. Since then, he has spent 58 years as a teacher, and taught thousands of students. Most of these students went on to further studies outside of the village, with many going on to universities and taking on successful careers. Jiang is now retired but he still works in the school as a volunteer. [Photo: IC]
