Retired teacher Zhou Xiufang, 72, has spared no effort in raising funds to build 30 primary schools in poverty-stricken areas of Hunan and Guizhou provinces over the past five years.
In 2014, Zhou, from Ningbo, Zhejiang province, had just retired and heard on a news report that a school in Huishui county, Guizhou, was recruiting teachers. She immediately applied for a post and was accepted.
As a result of her childhood experiences she said she hoped to help children from impoverished families receive an education. My family was poor when I was young, she said. One of my teachers paid my education fees, so I did not drop out of school. I was a lucky child, who was able to continue my studies.
