　For more than a decade, this Taiwanese woman journalist has given up a privileged life with no worries to devote herself to the education of a leprosy rehabilitation village in Liangshan, Sichuan Province. In order to help these isolated children integrate into the modern society as soon as possible, she has put in unimaginable efforts!--

　　Even though it's been a while.11Zhang Pingyi still vividly remembers the first time she entered the leprosy rehabilitation village in 2007.

　　"That's a really dark corner that's been deliberately forgotten."The Taiwanese woman said slowly.

　　At that time, she was still a senior reporter of Taiwan's China Times. In order to cover the current situation of leprosy rehabilitation villages in mainland China, she made many inquiries and came to a small village called Dayingpan in western Sichuan Province.

　　It was once known as"The Invisible Village". From1959Since the beginning of the year, because of the spread of leprosy, the local government established the Leprosy Rehabilitation Village in this area to provide isolated and centralized treatment for leprosy patients, which lasted for more than half a century.

　　In the village, Zhang Pingyi saw that many leprosy patients could only crawl on the ground dragging their mutilated limbs, bringing out a trail of blood behind them, as she described in her interview notes:"Their limbs are eaten by bacteria, as if a candle burned and melted and deformed."

　　The village was full of wandering children, no longer suffering from the terrible epidemic of their fathers, with wild innocence in their eyes. It made this mother of two think, in spite of herself, that"There's gotta be a school here somewhere.?"

　　The only elementary school, at an altitude of1800meters up the hill. The classrooms are two dilapidated houses without a single intact window. The school sign, the only property the thieves could see, was stolen long ago. The place is crowded with70More than a few students, most of whom could only stand and listen to the lesson, and the children's faces were dirty, the"So dirty you can only see two eyeballs."The

　　If even this school collapses, Zhang Pingyi wonders what hope these children growing up in the shadow of leprosy can have. The woman who had always lived in the big city made a promise to her teacher:"You stay here and I'll raise money to build a new school."

　　2002In 2007, just as she had promised, brand new classrooms have taken root in Dayingpan, and the fate of this Taiwanese woman has been tightly linked to this once-forgotten village.2003She quit her million-dollar job in 2007 and has been working across the strait since then."Chinese Wings of Hope Service Association", dedicated to the education of the children of lepers in Tai Ying Pun.

　　At first, she interpreted her motivation as an"Motherhood in its simplest form". But for now, her long-term desire is that"(c) To enable all children of those affected by leprosy to integrate normally into the outside world."

　　What the outside world really looks like?Few people in this village know. The villagers here can only feel that they are"Someone to be feared and hated.". Even when a teacher here goes to a meeting in the county, no local teacher wants to eat at the same table with him.

　　But this friends' eyes"Typical young lady."But it is across the channel that cries out for this fearful village.

　　She writes articles to raise money in Taiwan, gives speeches and sells books all over the place, or brings her doctor husband's monthly gift of1NT$10,000 pocket money in a cab to try to convince potential funders."Do nothing in your next life, just be rich."This woman, who had never before experienced a life of embarrassment, was for a time"fuming with rage between gritted teeth"Saying.

　　With the money thus accumulated little by little for charity, she returned to Oyampangan and became the new school building's"a workplace overseer"The first thing she did was to go back and forth between the county hotel and Danyingpan village. Each day, she traveled back and forth on the bumpy dirt road between the county hotel and the village of Dayingpan. Because the school had no toilets, this somewhat hygienic woman often dared not drink water throughout the day. If she was in a hurry, she would jog half an hour to a neighboring village and borrow a toilet."The toilet next to the pigsty"The

　　To those children in the leprosarium."Auntie Zhang is like a mother"She is familiar with each child's home situation and temperament. She is familiar with each child's family situation and temperament. For example, Ichokogu, who is only5aged, is the smallest child in the school and the most attentive paraprofessional. He likes going to school because it's where he gets to see his dad, Ichabodu, the22The young man, who was elementary school6Graders.

　　Like Yiho's dad."Overage pupils"It's not uncommon on campus. It's even in the2005Before the year, the elementary school, which had been in existence for more than a decade, had not seen a single graduate.

　　Therefore, with parents"child abduction"It became one of Zhang Pingyi's most important jobs."We seek a path of hope with all our might, some come through, how do some fall away in the middle of it??"During her time at the big campground, whenever she found a child disappearing, she would run to the other's house and"Coercion and intimidation to bring the boy back to school."The

　　A being pulled and once disappeared. This Yi boy reads1After the first grade they went home to graze the sheep. Until the school was rebuilt, this14Boys only start reading at the age of2grade, he graduated from elementary school here and finished high school in the county. Now.24Abeera, who is aged 18 and works in a factory in Qingdao, was a child when that"Auntie Zhang, who only dared to look on.", now friends, they often share their hearts in earnest.

　　"My parents were anxious for me to go back and get married, but Auntie Zhang said it would be better to find someone I really liked."Abe Ra and said.

　　For Zhang Pingyi, that is"My child.". She likes to be close to the kids, just."Just the slightest proximity and you get flea bites.60multipack". This young man was quite a bit"Joey Wong Flavor"woman whose legs are now covered with scars from fleas and who is even afraid to put on a dress in the summer.

　　Starting with washing her face, brushing her teeth, and taking a bath, she slowly taught those children how to"Maintaining personal hygiene". A TV reporter came to this village and realized that if there were two toothbrushes in a farmer's house, they must have belonged to two people who had gone to elementary school.

　　However, once the sense of achievement brought by the children is put aside, Zhang Pingyi is always faced with a very specific dilemma. There is no water source around Dayingpan Elementary School, and a few years ago, the local government built a water diversion project in the mountains in this area. However, Dayingpan is the last stop on this water line, and part of the water pipe is exposed on the ground. Sometimes, a cow stepping over, or a thirsty person cutting open a water pipe, can bring the school"water-stoppage disaster"The

　　"It's just going crazy."Zhang Pingyi described the dilemma in dramatic terms. Sometimes the water was cut off for up to a week, the school was full of gasoline drums of all sizes, and this woman, who had never lived in the countryside before"He went to the neighboring villages in a pony cart to carry water."The

　　Taiwan volunteer Yo-Ting Cheng has also experienced that kind of"The Great Water Grab", she remembers the desperation she felt at the time."What can we do inside a depression like that when we don't even know where to buy a water tower??"

　　However, just before2010In 2007, Zhang Pingyi brought in a water conservancy expert from Taiwan, and even shipped in from the far opposite shore"A hose.". They spent nearly50RMB 10,000,000 has been spent on building water cellars on barren mountains."From pumice water to surface water, store it all and don't let a drop of it go outside."Today, even if the water is shut off, they can be self-sufficient for three days.

　　Colleagues can't imagine how this woman, who looks very thin and weak, overcame the difficulties in front of her one by one. But in their eyes, Zhang Pingyi is a"Persistent and simple."He talks very fast and when he thinks of something, he makes sure to do it before he stops.

　　In this village, there are more and more children who have changed their destiny because of Dayingpan Elementary School, and even children from the neighboring areas come here to study. Right now, this once"Elementary school that's barely hanging on."It's already there.100Multiple graduates.13A public teacher, they have neat classrooms and cafeterias, and even the village's first public toilet.

　　But the problem is far from over. After elementary school, children must walk every day3half an hour to go to secondary school in the county. Prejudice against children of lepers had not been eliminated, and their request to live in the school could not be granted. Zhang Pingyi gritted his teeth and"Okay, then I'll build a middle school."The

　　The governor of a neighboring county agreed to grant her a piece of land, but when she excitedly returned to the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture with the money she had raised from Taiwan, the former governor had already been transferred, and the new governor refused to grant the land. The disappointed woman burst into tears.
