But for the students in one small village in China, it is difficult. There is a very big river between their school and the village. There is no bridge and the river runs too quickly for boats. So these students go on a ropeway to cross the river to school.
One 11-year-old boy, Liangliang crosses the river every school day. But he is not afraid because he loves the school.“ I love to play with my classmates. And I love my teacher. He’s like a father to me.”
