Introduction to a School in Gansu<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Xinxiang Central Primary School was established by Li Sixu in 1939 as a private school and has almost 80 years of rich history. \u00a0It is the largest elementary magnet school and because of its long history has exerted a strong influence in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The school is located in a rural mountainous area with poor soil and limited agricultural land in Xinzhung Village northwest of Huining County. \u00a0There is an old saying describing this area as suffering drought nine out of ten years. \u00a0Only coarse grain crops can grow and the crop harvest volume is only one hundred jin per mu( the equivalent of about 150 pounds per acre, compared to 20-30 tons of grain per acre in the U.S.). Naturally, the villagers find very difficult to make a living here and many older people over fifty have to leave the farms to find work to supplement their meager income.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Even under such arduous conditions, parents do not hesitate to decide that it is worth their suffering for their children to attend school. \u00a0They encourage \u00a0them to go to school and get educated. \u00a0\u201cThe best men are loyal and filial, with only two simple thoughts- reading and farming are essential.\u201d \u00a0With such values, the students here are hardworking and take pains on the quality of what they do.<\/span><\/p>\n Today\u2019s Xinzhuang Township Central Primary School is rooted in the culture of the rich heritage of the Losses Plateau. \u00a0It has the reputation of a \u201cChampion Town\u201d and they aim to cultivate a new generation of responsible students.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, the school is dilapidated and most buildings have leaky roofs. \u00a0The student\u2019s desks were purchased more than a decade ago and most of them are broken. \u00a0Faculty buildings are not equipped with any modern teaching aids. \u00a0There is no equipment for any music, physical education or art supplies. \u00a0Every year the school relies on fundraising but it is not enough and varies from year to year. \u00a0Solution to the school\u2019s problems can\u2019t addressed effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The school has six classes with a total of 195 students with 99 girls and 25 staff members.
