Wang Chunxia, a teacher in Xianghe County, believes that being a teacher means deeply loving every student.

Although 7 years have passed, Li Jing still remembers it vividly. At that time, while she was studying in middle school, she suddenly fell ill. During more than a month in the hospital, whenever Teacher Wang Chunxia had time, she would go to the hospital 10 km away from the school to visit her. Teacher Wang also took the lead in donating money and mobilized the whole class to donate nearly 1,000 yuan, helping Li Jing's family solve an urgent need. After Li Jing recovered and was discharged, Teacher Wang Chunxia also used her spare time to help Li Jing make up the lessons she had missed bit by bit.

Such things happened countless times during the 19-year teaching career of Wang Chunxia, a teacher at Xianghe County No. 6 Middle School.

A boy named Xiaochen became introverted and lost interest in studying because his parents divorced. Sensing the child's subtle changes, Wang Chunxia paid special attention to Xiaochen: encouraging him to interact more with classmates; taking him to eat together so he could feel the warmth of family; helping him buy tutoring books so he could rediscover the joy of learning... As day after day passed, an innocent smile returned to Xiaochen's face, and his academic performance improved day by day. In the end, he was admitted to Sichuan University.

Worried that Xiaochen, who had just emerged from hardship, would not integrate smoothly into university life, Wang Chunxia made an agreement with him to have a video chat once a week. In the early days of Xiaochen's university life, Wang Chunxia would sit in front of the computer on time every Tuesday during the lunch break and have a heart-to-heart video chat with Xiaochen, who was studying far away in Chengdu. Seeing the child opposite her talk endlessly and beam with joy, Wang Chunxia said she was happy from the bottom of her heart. Now, Xiaochen has already started working in Sichuan.

In the children's eyes, Wang Chunxia is a "confidante sister." She listens attentively, letting the children let go of their worries; she patiently guides them, opening their emotional knots; she cares sincerely, bringing warmth into the children's hearts. "When we were studying at No. 6 Middle School, Teacher Wang was like our own sister," said Ma Liang, Wang Chunxia's student. Although the classmates graduated from No. 6 Middle School 11 years ago, like everyone else he is still used to calling her "Sister Chunxia."

Wang Chunxia said that being a teacher means deeply loving every student and giving every student a patch of sunshine. In the scorching summer, she cooked mung bean soup at home and carried it to the classroom to bring coolness to the students; in the freezing winter, she prepared soy milk and delivered it to the class so the children could drink a small bowl and warm themselves up.

Someone once said, "Loving your own children makes you human; loving others' children makes you divine." But in Wang Chunxia's view, loving students is the starting point of being a good teacher, and caring for students is a required course for every teacher. Facing middle school students in the rebellious stage of adolescence, Wang Chunxia insists on using wise love to enlighten them and help them grow up healthily.

A boarding girl named Zhou Jie remembers that when she had a persistent high fever and needed careful care, Teacher Wang Chunxia, like a loving mother, let Zhou Jie stay in her dormitory, adjusted her meals for every meal, and washed the clothes the child had changed out of.

Over the past 19 years, in her post as a rural teacher, Wang Chunxia has quietly devoted herself and seen off one graduating class after another. Many people, years after graduating from No. 6 Middle School, still think fondly of this "Sister Chunxia." In the student questionnaire survey organized by the school, Wang Chunxia was the most welcomed and liked teacher among the children, and she also consistently ranked first in the "My Favorite Teacher" selection.
