Features: Miracle on the Yellow River! A paralyzed young man who couldn’t stand or take care of himself established a makeshift primary school on the impoverished banks of the Yellow River. Poor, out-of-school children found a warm home here. The number of students grew from a few to hundreds, with over 1,500 graduates in more than a decade. Offering free education with an outstanding track record, many children from well-to-do families also rushed to enroll, creating a miracle in the field of education. As Ma Wenzhong’s condition worsened, he used just one movable finger to type and write his story, word by word. In fact, there are many ways to live, but I believe there are only a few that are meaningful and valuable. Today, we’ve learned one such way—the way of Teacher Ma and Teacher Gu. They face difficulties and setbacks with immense courage. I believe they will overcome the challenges that lie ahead in life, and we can learn something from them too.
