"Students, if you want to introduce your hometown's specialties, what would you like to introduce most?" I asked in a class on trademark design of hometown's specialties. "Red plum and apricot!" The students answered with one voice.

In this remote western village, red plum apricot is not only a part of people's daily life, but also the pride and cultural heritage here. Like the red plum and apricot, the children here have unlimited potential and possibility. I care for them like farmers care for red plum and apricot trees, and help them grow healthily and healthily.

In July 2023, I packed my bags and came to Pengyang County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. The "formal meeting" with the children was the first self-study evening at the beginning of school. As soon as I stepped into the classroom, I was surrounded by warm applause.

"Teacher, where are you from?" "Teacher, what lessons will you give us?" "Teacher, have you tasted red plum apricots?" Before I could stand firm on the platform, the children couldn't wait to ask a series of questions. "I'm very glad to be your teacher. I will take you on a good comprehensive practical activity class later. I hope we can learn, grow and spend this special time together." I replied. A boy stood up and asked expectantly, "Teacher, will you teach us something interesting?"

At this moment, I deeply felt my responsibility and mission as a volunteer teacher. As an art major student, I set up aesthetic education practice courses to the best of my ability, leading students to experience movable type printing, character evolution, hand drawn fan, font design, and building a beautiful hometown, so as to bring more joy to students on the basis of satisfying their interests. I combine the course with Pengyang's specialty red plum and apricot, and cultivate their love for their hometown by learning trademark design.

Coming here across mountains and seas, I met a group of lovely children. On the way to volunteer teaching, I am not only their teacher, but also their friend and listener. I laugh and grow with them. We are writing our beautiful stories together in this wonderful journey.

Supporting education is not only a short experience, but also an eternal memory. Our story will continue to shine in the long river of time, leaving eternal traces. (Reporter Li Yanlong, Correspondent Ji Wenhui)
