Returning Home to Start a Business, Dad Gives Me an Abandoned Elementary School from the Start

Yang Jingxing, courtesy name Lizhi.

In the year Dingyou, after completing his studies, he entered the civil service and joined Xueersi. Five years later, he was laid off and returned to his hometown. He then passed the civil service exam and became a schoolteacher. In the year Bingwu, after being rejected by a matchmaking prospect, he couldn’t accept it and began planning a business venture, seeking a new path.

He discussed it with his father, who was the village head. A loyal friend said, “There’s an abandoned school in the mountains. The main building is still standing, but it’s been unused for years. It could be a good base for starting something.” Jingxing was delighted and rented the site.

Alas! Once he wielded the teaching cane as a private tutor. Now he films videos among the ruins.
