【推荐2】Gan Ruyi, a 24-year-old girl, is a lab technician of a community hospital in the Jiangxia district of Wuhan. When the epidemic(疫情) broke out, she decided to return to her hospital by bike because she didn’t have a private car. It’s 300 kilometers away from her home to the hospital.

"As a medical worker, I should fight on the front lines like soldiers," she said. On the first day, she rode bike for five hours. The next day, she found a small inn in downtown in Jingzhou to spend the night there. On the morning of the third day, she continued her journey on a shared bike. At that time, it was dark and raining. "I was scared and rode faster and faster and didn't dare turn back," she said. At 8 in the evening, a policeman helped her find a medical bus and gave her a lift to Wuhan. After getting off the bus, she picked up a shared bike for the last leg of the journey. She had to keep asking people for directions because her cell phone didn’t work. At 6 p.m. on the fourth day, she finally arrived at the hospital. Then she put herself into heavy work right away. She was too busy to worry about the risk of infection(感染).

Gan's heroic journey was later covered by kinds of news media, which made her famous. "There's nothing special about what I do. Given another chance, I'd do the same thing — ride my bike back to work."

【推荐3】Zhang Guimei, the principal (校长) of Huaping High School for Girls, has been given the title “Role Model of the Times (时代楷模)” for helping girls from poor families. The school was the first high school in the country to provide free education for girls who could continue their studies after completing their nine years of education.

Zhang moved to Lijiang at the age of 17 to teach in the middle school in Huaping County (华坪县). Once, she got badly ill but had no money for the treatment. With the help of the people there, she was able to get the necessary treatment. “From then on, I told myself that I must do something for those people who helped me,” Zhang said.

Slowly, a dream of setting up a free high school for girls in Huaping County appeared in Zhang’s heart. From the year of 2002, she began a long journey to look for funds (基金). Six years later, Zhang finally set up Huaping High School for Girls at the foot of the Shizi Mountain in Huaping.

Thanks to her efforts, more than 1,800 girls from poor families have entered universities through her education until now. Influenced by her, many of her students have chosen to teach in poor areas. Now, education for girls from poor areas will receive more attention.

What she has done will be long remembered and encourage more to follow her example.
