7 . Yang Weiyun is 74 years old. She comes from Huainan, Anhui Province and has much experience in teaching. She had been a Chinese teacher in a school for 30 years and a kindergarten headteacher for another 20 years.

After she retired (退休), Yang still wanted to do something meaningful. She got the idea of teaching by livestreaming (直播) online. Yang started in 2021 and offered free pinyin lessons to kindergarten students. However, after several weeks she found lots of adults can’t read or write.

Yang said she found that many illiterate (文盲的) adults are afraid to go to new places. They also worried that they couldn’t teach their children or finish work well. “Many illiterate adults didn’t have the chance to go to school when they were young. Now they really need to learn to read and write. So I wanted to teach them.” Yang said.

Most of Yang’s adult students are busy at work. They have to make the time to learn the lessons, so Yang has two livestream lessons every day, starting at 8:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. Yang’s livestream lessons offer an easy way for adults to learn to read and write.

They easily break down when they face difficulties. They don’t know what to do when they are in trouble. They have a common name—“strawberry kids”.

Why are many students so easy to break down? Parents and schools are the main reasons. Parents do almost everything for them in their daily life, while schools care more about their grades instead of developing their personality (个性).

Liu Yue, 13, is from Hainan. His mom hardly criticizes (批评) him and he always feels good about himself. When a teacher criticized him strictly, he was so down and would cry after school. Even more, he didn’t want to go to school next day.
