Notes from a Teaching Assignment

Su Dan and Zhu Yanzi were close friends and classmates, studying Chinese and modern foreign literature together in the Chinese department of a prestigious university. One day, when their teacher announced a call for volunteers to teach in underprivileged areas, the two of them signed up together. Though they had prepared themselves for the challenge, everything at the school where they were assigned, Banshan Village Primary School, deep in the mountains of Anhui, still turned out to be beyond what they and the teachers and students had expected. Undaunted by the unexpected difficulties, the teachers and students threw themselves wholeheartedly into the arduous work of teaching in the countryside…

For tomorrow! Across this vast and majestic land, countless university students of today are striving forward!

For tomorrow, for our country, may they be blessed!
