Liu Jinyan, 29, an art teacher at Jucheng Joint School, Fenghuangyuan Primary School and Shuiyu Primary School in Jucheng Town, Pingding County, Yangquan City, Shanxi Province, has been teaching in the depths of the Taihang Mountains for more than five years, not only bringing students a variety of art courses, but also preparing to create dozens of art interest clubs with the help of the Pingding County Youth League Committee, sowing the seeds of art in the hearts of children.

Rural teachers have been fighting in the frontline of rural grassroots education for many years and making silent contributions. In the face of simple, knowledge-hungry rural children, they insisted on a three-foot square podium and watered the seedlings of the countryside with all their efforts.

Spring and autumn come, cold and summer come and go, students go in batches, and what remains unchanged is them standing on the podium. These remarkable "watchmen" have lit up the hopes of rural children.
