As a 57-year-old principal, Zhang is 64 years old this year, but at this age, she is still struggling on the education front. Originally, at her age, she had already retired at home and enjoyed her old age, but she continued to struggle in the mountains and in this school for the sake of her children. President Zhang Guimei lost her husband in middle age. In the following decades, she was childless and alone. When her grandchildren were already around her knees, she stood on a three-foot platform with gray hair. She regards the students as her own children and thinks for them wholeheartedly, only for one day these girls can walk out of this mountain smoothly and see the wonderful world outside, instead of being trapped by this poor mountain.
It was not easy to build a high school, but President Zhang did it. She saved hundreds of thousands of yuan for decades, and with the help of others, she built this Huaping girls' high school. With a completed high school, there must be a certain number of students. In order to let the girls who didn't have the chance to study in the mountains continue to go to school, President Zhang took the girls all over the mountain and home, regardless of his health, and finally recruited students. In the decades since the school was founded, President Zhang is most proud that none of her children dropped out of school. They all graduated smoothly and walked out of the mountains and forests.
Even though she is suffering from various diseases, even though she is no longer young, even though she is poor, she still does not change her original intention and always devotes her life to education. She has been to countless hospitals in her life and has been advised by countless people to pay more attention to her career and her health. But President Zhang did not regard her health as a reason for not working hard. She always stands on the three-foot platform, glowing in her own field.
