Pic story of volunteer teacher in island village of Beili in south China
Lin Xiaolian gives an English lesson to sixth graders at Beili Primary School on Beili Island in Xuwen County, south China's Guangdong Province, Sept. 1, 2020. Six years ago, Lin Xiaolian came to this island as a volunteer teacher after graduating from Lingnan Normal University in Guangdong. And then she chose to stay here to be a teacher. The remote and poverty-stricken island village of Beili hardly sees outsiders. There are no restaurants, hotels nor cars on the island covering only 7 square kilometers. Beili Primary School has over 300 students, but is staffed by only 5 teachers. Lin is responsible for teaching English for multiple grades and has at least 24 classes a week due to the lack of teachers. Under Lin's instructions, her students won many awards in town-level and county-level knowledge competitions in the past six years. And ten of her students were admitted to a key middle school in the town in 2019. (Xinhua/Deng Hua)
