Su Han saw the children, and Yang Mi emerged from behind him.
The two slowly walked towards the children.
All eyes fell upon them, gazing intently.
When the children saw Su Han and Yang Mi, their faces lit up with radiant smiles.
The teacher, beaming, ran up to greet them and help take the backpacks from Su Han and Yang Mi.
The two were covered in mud, panting heavily.
"Teacher Su Han, Teacher Yang Mi, you've both worked so hard."
"It's nothing, it's nothing, not hard work."
Su Han and Yang Mi both shook their heads, saying it wasn't hard, smiling warmly and with great friendliness.
After a brief tidying up, Su Han and Yang Mi went before the children.
The children stood up straight and proper, looking quite impressive.
Seeing them like this warmed Su Han's heart.
The children were all exceptionally well-behaved and sensible.
"Say hello to big brother and sister!"
The teacher prompted them.
After Su Han's reminder, the children called out in unison:
"Hello, Brother Su Han!"
"Hello, Sister Yang Mi!"
"Hello!"
Yang Mi and Su Han also greeted the children enthusiastically.
Then the principal walked up. The principal was gaunt, looking somewhat malnourished.
Seeing the principal's appearance, Su Han felt he understood.
He guessed that this principal was a very good person, likely scrimping and saving, perhaps not eating meat himself, but keeping the money for the children.
He was determined to help them, to improve their current lives.
Su Han thought this.
"Hello, Mr. Su Han. I'm a huge fan of your movies. I've watched all of them, and they're all brilliant. Thank you for bringing so many wonderful characters to life."
The principal thanked Su Han for bringing characters to them, and Su Han felt a warmth spread through him.
"Principal, thank you for your persistence in educating these children."
"Thank you!"
The principal looked at Yang Mi. "Miss Yang Mi, thank you!"
"Thank you for always guiding Mr. Su Han. I really like you both."
"I never expected you to visit us today. I'm truly touched. Thank you so much, thank you so much!"
The principal bowed to Su Han and Yang Mi.
He was so humble that Yang Mi and Su Han felt embarrassed and quickly helped him up.
In recent years, educating in the mountains has indeed been difficult.
Due to a lack of resources, it's hard to find teachers willing to teach in the mountains.
But this time was different. The principal knew the social influence that celebrities brought was extraordinary.
Especially celebrities of Su Han and Yang Mi's caliber. With their help, the village's education would surely improve, and it would definitely attract a large number of charitable individuals to help them.
This was the children's only chance, and he had to seize it.
Missing this opportunity would mean the children would have little hope in the future.
The principal thought this.
To ensure the school developed better and the children received better educational resources, he had to seize this opportunity.
"Principal, please let the children have some free time!"
"We'll walk around here, understand the situation, and see how we can help you next."
"The children don't need to be so formal. Let them be as they normally are."
Su Han said this to the principal.
The principal nodded, agreeing.
Accepting the suggestion, the principal announced loudly, "Alright everyone, free activity now!"
"Just like during usual class breaks!"
"Those who need to attend classes, go to class!"
"And the teachers for each class, attend to your duties!"
After the principal spoke, everyone immediately dispersed and went about their business.
The students left with reluctant, backward glances.
Once the children had dispersed, Su Han and Yang Mi began to understand the children's situation.
In their conversation, they learned that the principal had been a volunteer teacher many years ago.
He had heard that the village lacked teachers and decided to come and teach.
He had been teaching for twenty years and had put down roots here, unable to leave.
He loved the children here dearly and hoped to impart knowledge to them and help them escape the mountains through his own efforts.
He came here to volunteer teach at twenty and was now fifty, having been here for thirty years.
His wife was also a volunteer teacher who had come with him. The couple settled in the village and got married.
That was roughly the story.
Then the principal told Yang Mi and Su Han about the children's family situations.
After some understanding, Su Han and Yang Mi learned.
The children here had excellent academic performance, but the poor teaching quality had caused them to miss many lessons.
There was also a scarcity of books, which was another point that needed attention.
The children had very few books to read.
Furthermore, some children were left-behind children, with parents working away from home. The children lived with their elderly grandparents, with little emotional support.
Some had lost their fathers, their mothers had left with others, leaving them orphaned and alone, with no one to accompany them.
...
That was essentially the situation.
They all listened patiently and attentively.
After this period of understanding, Su Han sighed deeply, "It's not easy, not easy at all. These children have worked so hard."
"And of course, Principal, you have worked hard too."
"Principal, if not for you, the village's education would likely not have survived this long."
"You are truly great!"
In Su Han's eyes, people like the principal were the most deserving of promotion, praise, and songs.
Such deeds should be spread.
"Has it all been recorded?"
He looked at the cameraman, confirming.
The cameraman nodded.
"That's good."
"Try to edit it by tonight. I want to release this segment."
"It's time to do what needs to be done."
Su Han said.
Yang Mi watched from the side, very pleased.
She unconditionally supported Su Han in everything he wanted to do, and unconditionally supported him in helping others.
They now had the ability and the means.
And so,
In the evening, Su Han posted the video on Weibo.
"Today, Yang Mi and I visited a certain rural village and learned about such a great principal. I hope everyone can pay more attention to our public welfare and lend a helping hand to the children, so they can have a better future."
