Hold on to Hope

A group of young people held a class reunion and invited a highly respected teacher Li Xue (played by Liu Zhiyu). In 1995, Teacher Li was admitted to Guangxi Normal University and became the first college student in the history of the mountain. However, she gave up the opportunity to go to university and chose to stay in the mountain village as a volunteer teacher for children. At first, her parents were firmly opposed to her not going to college but staying as a volunteer teacher, but her determination to be a teacher for children remained unchanged. Her childhood sweetheart boyfriend Chen Dong (played by Lei Qifei) is very supportive of her. Li Xue said that she gave up the opportunity to go to college, and she stayed so that children in the mountains could go to college. Although she faced many difficulties in teaching, including no pens, no textbooks, and a cave-in in the classroom, she overcame them one by one. Her deeds moved the government and the Education Office. With the care and support of the party and the government, they had a new teaching building, new schoolbags and stationery, and all the left-behind out-of-school children in the mountains were able to go to school.
