4. After traveling over 18 hours, we finally arrived at Baige Primary School in Yunnan Province. We came here to be volunteer teachers during the summer holiday of 2019. Located in the mountains, the school had over 400 children aged from 6 to 13 but only four teachers. (1)

After classes, we spent most of our time chatting and playing with the kids who lived at the school. Because of the location of the mountains, many children never went out, not to mention visited other cities. (5)
We often told interesting stories from the cities and encouraged students to study hard and visit these cities by themselves in the future.
Every time we looked at their curious eyes and smiling faces, we felt proud that we could enlighten and bring joy to these young minds.
