Principal's priority is rural education

After teaching for 30 years at different villages in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Mei Hua, a deputy to the 13th National People's Congress, hopes she can help more ethnic minority students enjoy better education.

Mei's parents are both herdsmen in the Hulunbuir grasslands, and she knew from an early age that education is one of the most effective ways to change the fate of children living in the grasslands and give them the opportunity to see the outside world.

She became a teacher when she was 19, and has since worked at different schools in remote villages.
