A teacher and his boat

Editor's Note,

This is a story about a teacher and his wooden boat. During 25 years of teaching, Shi Lansong has been taking his students to and from school on his wooden boat across a 2-kilometer-wide lake in a village in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. He has gone through eight boats. Shi said he will continue doing this for the next 15 years, until he retires.
