In April on the Pamir Plateau, new leaves of poplar trees roll out silver white waves in the wind. On the plastic playground of Xieyite Elementary School, more than twenty Kyrgyz children are shaking their heads and flashing their long eyelashes to the beat, singing their favorite songs with the volunteer teacher Wang Junwen. The song is sung, not shouted, pay attention to the pitch accuracy! ”Wang Junwen is a big boy from Jiangxi, in his early twenties, not very tall. Standing among the senior children, it is almost impossible to tell whether he is a teacher or a student unless he is wearing a red volunteer uniform. He rubbed his blushing and peeling cheeks and told reporters that he came to Xieyite Elementary School through the Western Plan. It has been almost a year now and he has fully adapted to the climate here. As the first professional music teacher since the establishment of the school, Wang Junwen is very proud. The foundation of the first grade children is solid! "Wang Junwen said." In the future, I will teach them how to sing harmonies and form a choir. "He is full of confidence in this because last year at this time, the school's drums and horns were still covered in dust in the warehouse, and now the drum horn team, which has been formed for less than a year, can play at the flag raising ceremony. The joyful singing on the playground did not disturb the sixth grade students studying in the classroom, who were doing their best to prepare for the entrance exam of the inner junior class. Gao Shuxian, a volunteer teacher from Shanxi, told us, "The children are very sensible and they also long to improve their academic performance." "Most of these children's parents are herders or border guards, who spend their years grazing and patrolling the border, and rarely take care of them at home. ”Gao Shuxian said, "So the children love school very much, and there are also children who come to school to study on weekends. Apart from bedtime, I am surrounded by students all day long, and they always have endless questions." "The children are willing to learn, and the teachers are willing to teach. In such an atmosphere, the improvement of grades is just around the corner! ”Xie Yite Elementary School Party Branch Secretary Jin Wenbin introduced that the school has overcome the dilemma of being at the bottom of the city for many years. The class excellence rate has increased from zero to 50%, the pass rate has reached 96%, and the national common language and writing usage rate of students has reached 100%. At the beginning of 2025, the comprehensive ranking of the school has jumped to the top fifteen in the city. Starting from 2023, every year there will be graduates who stand out in the unified exam across Xinjiang and are admitted to the junior class. Dedicate youth to the motherland! This is not a slogan. ”Maimaitiyimin Kudireti, a volunteer teacher, said that although he is in this remote small village, it is full of strength and hope, and he can also show off his skills, so he is always full of enthusiasm. Maimaitiyimin Kudireti, who grew up in a remote mountain village in Xinjiang, deeply understands the truth that knowledge changes destiny. During his studies, he also encountered volunteers from the Western Plan who came to teach. They are willing to come to such a far place in Xinjiang to support teaching, why can't I go to remote rural areas and pastoral areas to help the children in my hometown! "Looking out at the mountains surrounding the Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang, 1085 Western Plan volunteers have established teaching support points in 61 schools. They are practicing their oath of" going to the west, to the grassroots, and to the places where the motherland needs it the most "with their youth and passion. Not long ago, the volunteer service team of the Western Plan for Border Defense and Teaching at Xieyite Primary School was awarded the 2025 China Youth May Fourth Medal Collective. What kind of person is your teacher? ”The reporter asked. It's the sun! ”It's the moon! ”Why is that? ”The reporter asked again. 'Gentle,' 'stern,' 'warm,' and so on... the children spoke in a flurry of words. You must have ups and downs like the sun without losing your radiance! ”Gao Shuxian wrote in her Tiktok account, "I teach these principles to my students like a teacher, and I will help them!"
