Wen Jin guides students in practicing musical instruments at Miaoxi Primary School in Hengyang, Hunan province. ZOU SHUO/CHINA DAILY

During a recent journey from Hengyang city, Hunan province, to a village primary school in Hengyang county, Wen Jin persevered despite the engine in his more than 10-year-old car quitting several times as he drove it along a zigzagging mountainous road.

Heavy rainfall added to the difficulty of the trip. Nevertheless, Wen was determined to reach his destination.

Every Tuesday, he travels to Miaoxi Primary School to teach students music and help them practice for the school band, which he started in September to offer the students an even richer experience. The school only has 32 students, and eight of them have joined the band.

Most of the students are left-behind children whose parents have migrated to larger areas to find jobs and have left their kids in the care of their grandparents or other relatives.

Wen has been volunteering as a music teacher at Miaoxi since 2022, and as long as the road is accessible, he travels to the school every Tuesday to teach two classes.

"Many people have asked me why I have persisted or how long I plan to keep coming to the school, but I do not think it has much to do with persistence," Wen said. "The students need me, and I need them. It's natural. I have gained a sense of achievement from them."

After working at an airport for five years, Yan Qianqian decided to quit the job and start her own business in her hometown in 2021.

Yan Qianqian, now 29, and her father Yan Jiantiao founded an agriculture company focusing on producing pickled bamboo shoots, which is an important ingredient for the popular Luosifen rice noodles.

For years, she has been working with experts from local universities to improve the traditional making methods of the pickled bamboo shoots with modern technologies, trying to gain more favor from the young generation.
