"I was born a mountain and not a stream, and I want to look down on the mediocre ravines from the top of the peaks. I was born to be a man and not a mustard, and I stand on the shoulders of great men and despise the humble cowards!Behind this oath of Huaping Women's High School, it is the stubbornness of the girls in the mountains who do not accept their fate, and Zhang Guimei's insistence of "nine deaths and no regrets".
Zhang Guimei, who has been working hard for the education of girls and women in China, has taken root in the poverty-stricken mountainous areas of Yunnan for more than 40 years and promoted the establishment of China's first free girls' high school. Since its establishment in 2008, Huaping Girls' High School has helped thousands of girls realize their dreams of university, changing the fate of poverty and backwardness. Zhang Guimei put all her efforts into the career of Huaping Women's High School, even if she suffered from illness and was covered with plasters, she never left time for herself, but stuck to her post, helped more girls to read and Xi, lit a lamp with her own life, illuminated the way forward for students, and changed the fate of these girls in poor mountainous areas. Zhang Guimei, who has no children and no daughters in her life but is called "mother" by thousands of children, shoulders a heavy responsibility with her thin body, she is like a ray of hope, illuminating the children's dream-chasing life. She is a mountain, she is great.
