10-year-old gets all the attention in school

Tu Jiaqi is top of her class. In fact, she's the only one in it.

The 10-year-old has been the sole student at Liye Village Primary School since September 2015, when the school reopened after construction of a new 400-square-meter schoolhouse.

"We built the schoolhouse to improve the teaching and learning environment," said principal Tao Fengju, whose school is about 40 kilometers from downtown Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province. The work started in October 2014, she said, and during construction all 36 students were relocated to the nearby Taiping Primary School.
