It is a typical day for Zhang Tian to work from seven in the morning to eight in the evening, feeling tired. He graduated from university and got a teacher’s certificate last year. He had an inspiring idea of living independently away from home. When he arrived at the school, not everything lived up to his hopes. The school was much smaller than expected. There was a playground which got dusty on windy days and muddy on rainy days. It is more challenging living in the village. There were only three teachers in the school,including Zhang Tian who was the only English teacher. He tried to introduce more subjects to the school. Besides teaching,he also brought changes to the village. He managed to rebuild the playground with the help of charity organisations. He was popular among the villagers and they treated him as one of them. He was ready to stay for another year.
