"I came to the place where my dream began, and I was on the way I wanted to go! Thanks to the volunteer teachers of Chongqing Jiaotong University, who helped me find the direction of life." This is Li Yingjiao, a 2023 freshman majoring in civil engineering in Chongqing Jiaotong University. Li Yingjiao is a new college student of Chongqing Jiaotong University in 2023. She was once a primary student of the first graduate volunteer group of Chongqing Jiaotong University.

505 points! When she learned that she had achieved good results in the college entrance examination, Li Yingjiao immediately filled Chongqing Jiaotong University in the first volunteer, and shared the good news with Mr. Xiao Heng, "I'm finally coming to your school! I hope to become a better person and the next you!"

Li Yingjiao recalled that she would never forget the heartfelt desire to hear "Chongqing Jiaotong University" for the first time when she was in the fourth grade of primary school. "At that time, the volunteer teachers were very concerned about us. They saw that we had a long way to go home, and they sent us home. During the home visit, they took a lot of photos for us, because they had never seen smart phones before, and everything was so novel. Listening to Mr. Xiao Heng's vivid description of the world outside the mountain, I had unlimited longing and longing for Chongqing Jiaotong University."

Li Yingjiao recalled learning and living together with Xiao Heng at school. "Once, the school carried out a micro wish activity, and we all received gifts from Chongqing Jiaotong University that came across the mountains. These gifts were entrusted with the most sincere wishes of big brothers and sisters. The encouraging words on the postcard gave me courage and confidence. At that time, my mind became more and more firm - if you want to see the new world outside, you must go out of the mountain with your own efforts. I want to be admitted to Chongqing Jiaotong University and go to the place where my dream begins! " Li Yingjiao's volunteer teacher was Xiao Heng, a member of the first Chongqing Jiaotong University Graduate Teaching Group, who served as Li Yingjiao's math teacher during the volunteer teaching period.

Youyang is the supporting education service place of Chongqing Jiaotong University. The members of the first research group carried the great dream of "one year's shining stars, ten years of inheritance", adhered to the selfless spirit of "holding one heart, not taking half grass", integrated the youth dream into remote mountain areas, and wrote supporting education stories with hard work, Open the door to scientific exploration for children with knowledge and love.

Xiao Heng said that he came to Youyang to teach on August 22, 2014. When he first arrived at Dalong Primary School, he spent a month with Bi Yujing and Yan Chunhao, members of the research group, to complete the home visits of 45 students in his class. Li Yingjiao's home is far from the school. She needs to walk more than two hours to get to the school every day, but she has never been late. At that time, he thought this child was great. Li Yingjiao is shy, and her academic performance in class is above average. The research group set up Olympic math and English interest classes in Dalong Primary School. Li Yingjiao actively participated in them. Through repeated learning and training, her academic performance has been greatly improved. Now, Xiao Heng has been away from the volunteer teaching place for nearly ten years, but he has always kept in touch with the students he taught in those years. This experience of volunteer teaching has also become the most precious memory in his life. Xiao Heng said, "Although the time of volunteer teaching is short, the knowledge imprint left to students is eternal. More importantly, the seeds of dreams have taken root and sprouted in children's hearts!"

Li Yingjiao said that in addition to her daily study, she would actively participate in volunteer service and social practice, and looked forward to joining the graduate volunteer teaching team one day to carry on the torch relay of "doing something unforgettable in a short year".
