Teacher gives lesson in caring for students
Gu Hailin, deputy director of the Changxing Vocational and Technical Education Center School, was awarded the title of Good Samaritan of China last month.
On that very day, his students were performing a Uygur dance, with Gu as their "driver and food deliveryman". For him, his students were the best award.
All his students are from the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, and study at the vocational school in Changxing county, Huzhou city, Zhejiang province.
The school is one of 33 vocational schools across nine provinces and municipalities that provide educational resources to promote the training of talent from all ethnic groups in Xinjiang since 2011.
In September 2011, Gu, then 31, welcomed the school's first batch of 79 students from Xinjiang.
Although having seven years of teaching experience before that, the first challenge for him was to remember all the students' names. After five days of reciting the names, he was able to call each one by their name.
