Zhang Guimei, 64, Principal of the Huaping Senior High School for Girls in Lijiang, Yunnan Born in Heilongjiang province in 1957, Zhang traveled to Yunnan at the age of 17. She has been helping girls pursue (追求) education for more than 40 years. As a teacher, Zhang was heartbroken when she saw her students quit school (辍 学 ) after finishing senior high school. It was possible for many of them to go to college. However, they couldn’t do so because their families couldn’t afford it. So in 2008, Zhang started a free school for poor girls. Since then, Zhang has been busy asking for donations to provide money for the school. She has convinced (说服) parents to send their daughters back to school. The school has sent more than 1,800 students to universities and colleges.

Around the village are 1,000-meter-tall cliffs (悬崖峭壁), and there was only one pathway out of the village for many years. It took villagers three days to walk to the nearest town.

But their work has improved people’s lives. It now takes just one hour to drive to the nearest town. Mao then encouraged the villagers to grow oranges. Last year, their orange yield (产量) was nearly 40 tons. Young people have returned to the village to sell oranges onlin
