The evaluation of Zhang Guimei is: She has devoted her life to dreaming of Xianhuaping, and she has stuck to the mountains to educate female heroes. You are suffering from illness and you can only endure it. Visitors to the village are often frightened. The fragrant jade is carved in Guiyuan in western Yunnan, and the plum blossoms in Yunling help the wild geese in their journey. The model teacher of the times is Hui Ai, and the Chinese talents are virtuous.
On February 17, 2021, Zhang Guimei was named "Moving China Person of the Year 2020"; on February 25, she won the honorary title of "National Model for Poverty Alleviation"; Zhang Guimei is getting further and further on the road to her dream the further away. In Zhang Guimei, we can see the spirit of hard work. That spirit of not being afraid of hardship or difficulties is worth learning.
Doing charity and helping students
In August 1996, a family accident brought Zhang Guimei from Dali to the mountains of Lijiang. She originally just wanted to forget the sadness of her lover’s death, but she saw the poverty in the mountains. Children have innocent faces eager for knowledge. The instinct of love made this female teacher take root in the mountains.
In order to improve the children's living and learning conditions, she scrimped on food and clothing, and her daily living expenses were very small, and every penny she saved was spent on the students. None of Zhang Guimei’s students dropped out of school because of poverty.
