Zhi Yueying
Zhi Yueying is a rural school teacher in Fengxin county, Jiangxi province.
In 1980, the 19-year-old from provincial capital Nanchang became a teacher in a rural school despite objections from her family. She believes education gives children, who have limited exposure to the outside world, a tool to dream about their future.
Though she has reached the retirement age for women in China, Zhi has decided to continue teaching in the rural school.
