Ye Lianping, 95, a retired teacher, started giving free English classes in 2000 when he set up a "home for left-behind children" in Buchen Village. Most of his students are left behind in the village as their parents went to work in the cities. In the past 23 years, over 2,000 children have benefited from Ye's classes.
Ye Lianping, living a simple life with no children, spends most of his savings running the "Ye Lianping Scholarship", granting financial support to outstanding local students every year. Ye's will is to run against time to take care of as many left-behind children as possible. (Xinhua/Zhang Duan)
