During the past decades, Zhang Guimei has been devoting her life to helping children, in poor mountainous areas in Southwest China’s Yunnan Province, improve their education. She founded a high school offering free education to girls in Huaping, a county in Yunnan.

Born in Heilongjiang Province, Zhang studied Chinese in Lijiang College of Education from 1988 to 1990. There she met Dong Yuhan. She married him soon after she graduated. In 1990, the couple moved to Dong’s hometown, Xizhou, a town in Yunnan, to teach at a middle school. Soon after her husband died, Zhang moved to Huaping. She started a new life, teaching in Huaping Minzu Middle School.

While Zhang taught at Huaping Minzu Middle School,    ▲   . Zhang knew these girls’ parents, who were poor and less-educated, failed to realize the importance of education. And Zhang realized she should improve the education level of the local girls. That inspired her to found a free-of-charge senior high school for girls.

With support from the local government, Zhang set up Huaping Girls’ Senior High School in August 2008. On the first day of the new school year (September 1, 2008), 100 students enrolled in the school. Since 2011, more than 2,000 girls from the school have been admitted to universities after they passed gaokao. “I hope all of my students will try their best to improve their studies, so they can live a better life and help those in need in the future,” said Zhang.
