Since the government started the “Go West” program to develop the remote western areas of China, more and more students have gone to the west as volunteers(志愿者). In 2003, Mei Chunjin from Beijing went to Guangxi and worked in a small hospital as a student nurse. Yu Yiping, another volunteer, began his work as a teacher in Guangxi in 2004. He said he liked working there, but he had to look after his parents in Jiangsu. He was sorry about that. Also in 2006, many students went to the west. One of them was my cousin Liu Zhanglong.

8 . Actress Jiang Yiyan has spent around a month a year volunteering as a teacher in mountainous villages in Guangxi for more than ten years in a row (连续地).
In 2007, when she took part in film shooting in that area, she was shocked by the poverty (贫穷) there. Children had to walk along mountainous roads to attend class at a neighbouring village school. So she came up with the idea of doing something for these children.
Besides giving classes, Jiang also plays games with children and sings songs to them. And she cares much for their daily life. Moreover, she donated a billion yuan to set up a fund (基金) for students there.
“Like the grass in stone clefts (裂缝), they have to try their best to find sunshine on their own rather than waiting for others to do it for them,” Jiang said.
“It’s not that I gave these kids love. I am actually learning about love,” Jiang added. To enjoy and share love is seen as the most important thing in her life.
At the same time, children in the big mountains have also influenced Jiang.
“Born in this kind of environment, they have to learn to face a lot of difficult things from birth. So, why can’t I?” said Jiang.

10 . Like many high school graduates (毕业生), Maggie Doyne didn’t go straight to college. She decided to travel and arrives in western Nepal in 2006. A war had just ended there and let many children live on the streets. They had work at hard physical jobs for little money.
One day, while Doyne was walking down a country road, she saw a little girl breaking up rocks. She soon learned that 7-year-old Hima sold the rocks to help her family. Feeling so sad, she decided to pay Hima’s tuition (学费) for school. The changes in the child encouraged Doyne. She thought, “If we can help one child, why not 10?”
Doyne felt that the street children’s greatest need was a home. She found a piece of land for sale and bought it with MYM 5,000 she saved from years of babysitting. In 2008 the Kopila Valley Children’s Home was set up. With the help from the community, Doyne reached another goal in 2010—the Kopila Valley School.
