Character story:
Building a girls' high school in mountainous areas will not only allow poor girls to enter school for free, but also enable them to enter universities and change their destiny.
This is a female teacher's dream. It took her more than ten years to make this happen.
In 2002, Zhang Guimei, a middle school teacher, wanted to set up a free high school to recruit poor girls, so as to solve the problem of poor girls in some poor mountain areas.
She ran around raising money. Due to his limited personal strength, Zhang Guimei worked hard for five years before he raised 6,543,800 yuan.
In 2007, Zhang Guimei was elected as the representative of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and went to Beijing for a meeting. She told reporters about the idea of opening a free high school for girls. The next day, the newspaper published an article entitled "I have a dream", which caused a sensation. Since then, Lijiang City and Huaping County each contributed 654.38 million yuan to help Zhang Guimei run a school.
In September 2008, Lijiang Huaping Girls' Senior High School officially opened. Zhang Guimei served as the principal and enrolled 16 faculty members.
Girls in mountainous areas have a poor foundation, and some of them have never even attended primary school, so it is difficult to enter universities. Great pressure and long-term high-load work make Zhang Guimei's health worse and worse. She suffers from 23 diseases such as emphysema, renal cyst and skull osteoma.
Zhang Guimei insisted on taking painkillers every day and refused to be hospitalized. She wants to leave time for the children.
Huaping Girls' High School was founded in 12, and 1804 girls from Dashan entered the university from here, ranking first in Lijiang in undergraduate online rate.
During the period of 12, Zhang Guimei made a home visit of 1 10000 km. On the rugged mountain road, she broke her ribs, had a high fever and fainted on the road. She donated all the money donated by others and most of her salary to the girls in the mountain area, totaling 6,543,800 yuan.
Behind every girl is a family, and every girl will be a mother in the future. Zhang Guimei used her life to practice the original intention that letting girls receive higher education can change the fate of three generations.
