Actress Jiang Yiyan has spent around a
month a year volunteering as a teacher in mountainous villages in Guangxi for
nine years in a row (连续).
In 2007, when she took part in film
shooting in that area, she was shocked by the poverty (贫穷) there. Children
had to walk along mountainous roads to attend classes at a neighboring village
school. So she came up with the idea of doing something for these children.
Besides giving classes, Jiang also plays
games with children and sings songs for them. And she cares much for their
daily life. Moreover, she donated 1 million yuan to set up a fund (基金) for students
there.
"Like
the grass in stone clefts (裂缝), they have to try their best to find sunshine on their own rather
than waiting for others to do it for them," Jiang said.
When asked how she persisted in her
volunteer service for such a long time, Jiang said, "I'm not persisting
but enjoying."
"It's not that I gave these kids love.
I am actually learning about love," Jiang added. To enjoy and share love
is seen as the most important thing in her life.
At the same time, children in the big
mountains have also influenced Jiang.
"Whenever
I meet with something difficult to do, I'll think of these kids. Born in the
kind of environment, they have to learn to face a lot of difficult things from
birth. So, why can't I?" said Jiang.
