CHANGSHA, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- Dong Zhuwen, 63, is a teacher for first and second grade students at Chagan Primary School. Born in Huju Township, Dong Zhuwen started his teaching career here in 1977. After retirement in 2017, he chose to stay in school and continued teaching as the school was in shortage of teachers.
"I like children, I want to stay for them", said Dong. He also hopes that more and more young teachers would like to come here to teach the kids.
