Liang Zuying, 48, hails from Wuying Village, a Miao ethnic-minority hamlet that is hidden deep in the towering mountains straddling Guangxi and Guizhou. In the past, the impassable mountains and rugged landscape rendered locals extremely poor. Due to their traditional views and poor family conditions, many parents did not send their daughters to school. Liang and many other women in the village received little education and could neither read nor speak Mandarin, a major impediment that isolated them from the outside world. From March 2020, local authorities initiated a training program in Wuying Village to teach ethnic women Mandarin, in a bid to remove language barriers between them and people beyond the village, while improving their communication and vocational skills. So far, more than 1,000 Mandarin

(240405) -- LHASA, April 5, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Kelsang Yudron airs clothes at home in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, April 3, 2024. Kelsang Yudron was born in 1947 in what is now Lhunzhub County, located in Lhasa City. Her family of eight lived in a cramped mud house of around 30 square meters. With no decent furniture, they slept on a humble bed made of mud bricks and covered with thick hays and blankets. They toiled from dawn till midnight, working in the fields and tending to livestock for their feudal lords. Hunger and discomfort plagued them at night. Hard labor and poor nutrition often led to illness for many serfs. In 1959, the democratic reform in Xizang liberated around one million serfs, including Kelsang Yudron's family. In 1960, she seized the opportunity to study nursing in Xianyang, northwest China's Shaanxi Province. Having completed her education in six years, she returned to her hometown afterward and dedicated over three decades to saving lives. Upon retirement, Kelsang
