Li was greatly shocked by the appalling poverty on his first visit to the village.


Before convincing himself, Li decided to stay for a short term. He joined the villagers to rebuild the old school on cliff pulled down by debris flow and started his teaching career for 27 years and counting that he would never expect in another life.
