Zhang Guimei, the principal of Huaping High School for Girls, has been given the title “Role Model of the Times” for helping girls from poor families. Here is the moving story of Ms. Zhang.
Zhang moved to Lijiang at the age of 17 to teach in the middle school in Huaping County. Once, she got badly ill but had no money for the treatment (治疗). With the help of the people there, she was able to get the 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 six-year journey to look for funds (资金). In 2008, Zhang finally set up Huaping High School for Girls at the foot of the Shizi Mountain in Huaping. The school was the first high school in the country to provide free education for girls who have been unable to continue their studies after completing their nine years of education.
Thanks to her efforts, more than 1,800 girls from poor families have entered universities through her education until now. Zhang has been helping to improve the area as a whole. Influenced by her, many of her students have chosen to teach in poor areas. Now, with Zhang having got the honorary title, the education for girls from poor areas will receive more attention.

a I studied in Los Angeles in July 2019. During that time, I often went to a nearby library when I had time. Because I am a book lover. In this library, I met a girl called Elena. She gave up several hours to help us there every Friday afternoon. Her job was to read books to us and listen to our reading. She spoke very slowly. So we all could understand her. We liked her very much. She was a very kind woman. She thinks teaching the students to read is very meaningful. And she can do what she loves to do. | |
b Have you ever helped your parents with household chores? If so, what do you think the worst chore is? You may have thought of several things already, but for English people, cleaning the oven is the most hated chore, a study released (发布) by Braun Care Style ironing (熨烫) systems on Sept 8 showed. Ironing is the second most disliked task, followed closely by changing the bed sheets (床单).
