The new term started. Different from most students, Xiaozhou took his first class in bed. He is disabled (有残疾的) and can’t move.
Xiaozhou lives in Dianping Village, Longxi County, Gansu Province. For disabled children like Xiaozhou, taking classes was just a dream in the past. Luckily, in 2015 the local government organised (组织) the first group of teachers to give door-to-door teaching services to disabled children. More than 300 teachers in Longxi County have given free visiting services to over 170 children with special needs.
Yang Huijun is Xiaozhou’s teacher. He said, “When I went to Xiaozhou’s home for the first time about six years ago and saw him lying helplessly (无助地) in bed, I felt terrible. Because of fear (恐惧), Xiaozhou didn’t accept me at first, but I didn’t give up.” He visited Xiaozhou five to six times a month. With his help, Xiaozhou learned the numbers from 1 to 100 in May 2016. In April 2017, Xiaozhou wrote his name for the first time. In June 2018, Xiaozhou could draw simple (简单的) pictures. In August 2019, Xiaozhou learned 26 English letters. In March 2020, Xiaozhou could tell a story.
To thank Yang, Xiaozhou spent a month making a card as a Teachers’ Day gift for Yang. Yang liked the gift a lot. He said, “Now I teach Xiaozhou when he wants to learn. And I’m trying my best to make him learn happily.”

Emily was an eighth grader. To pass her Civics course, she had to do some volunteer service in a nursing home for a week.
One Monday, Emily went to the nursing home after school. When she arrived, she was told she would spend an hour every weekday with an elderly lady, Mrs. Blair. She was then led into a room, where an old lady in a flowery dress was sitting on a sofa.
Emily stood nervously in front of the lady. She cleared her throat and said, “Good afternoon. I’m Emily.”
“Good afternoon, Emily. Take a seat, please,” Mrs. Blair replied.
Then, silence filled the space between them. Emily didn’t know what to say.
“Tell me about yourself, Emily,” Mrs. Blair said suddenly.
“Well,” Emily started, “I don’t have any grandparents, so I can’t relate to elderly people much. I love the performing arts. I’m here mainly because I have to be here to get a good grade for my Civics class.”
Mrs. Blair didn’t seem to mind. “Many people, especially teens, don’t seem to care about old people like me. Now you’re here, and I’m going to change that about you. Ask me anything.”
Emily thought for a moment, and finally decided, “What was your job?”
“I was a Broadway star in the 1950s,” Mrs. Blair answered.
“Cool! Can you tell me about it?” Emily asked, amazed.
Emily smiled along with Mrs. Blair and listened to the other stories, attentively. She had become so interested in Mrs. Blair’s stories that she decided to come earlier the next day.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday passed by quickly. Then came Friday. As she was leaving, Emily was really upset to say goodbye.
“Don’t be sad. You can still visit me,” Mrs. Blair comforted her. She then handed a small box to Emily, “It’s a gift for you. ”
Emily carefully opened the box and was surprised to see what was inside. “It’s the bracelet that you wore. Thank you!” Emily said, with tears in her eyes. “I’m sure to visit you whenever I’m free.”
On her way home, Emily thought of her own love for the performing arts. She touched the bracelet and made a promise that she would keep her word to Mrs. Blair.
