School with one teacher and two students

A primary school in a village in Sichuan province has just two students and one teacher. Besides English, Long Qiyun, 52, teaches Chinese, math, science, physical education and music. When he first came to the school in 2006, there were about 100 students. But after 2009, when a road was built, most students went to the county school. This year, only two－7-year-old Zhang Zhihong and 6-year-old Jia Mengjie－stayed. "Even if there is one student, I won't leave," Long said.

Amazon pledges to fight fake reviews

E-commerce giant Amazon has pledged to target the fake reviews that are accused of littering its online store and duping millions of customers into buying shoddy products. The retailer has said it is taking legal action after it was uncovered that four-and five-star reviews are being sold on the platform. An investigation by the Daily Mail claimed rogue marketing firms were selling positive reviews for about $17 each. One German company claimed to have 3,000 testers in the United Kingdom who were paid to publish glowing reviews to the site. The testers are paid for the review and refunded the cost of buying the product, the report said, with purchases necessary in order for a review to be classified as verified by Amazon.
