Primary schoolteacher in rural China remains loyal to his one last underprivileged pupil

Jiang Guonan has been teaching at a rural primary school in the eastern Chinese province of Jiangxi for 42 years. With many pupils and teachers leaving for China’s big cities, student Jiang Haotian has become the only remaining child at his school. He’s still getting an education, however. Guonan has decided to stay and teach the seven-year-old to help him escape poverty, according to state media.
