Ye Lianping waits to give an English lesson at the classroom of the "home for left-behind children" in Buchen Village of Hexian County, east China's Anhui Province, July 31, 2019. Ye Lianping, a 92-year-old retired teacher in Buchen Village of Hexian County, set up the "home for left-behind children" in 2000 to teach them English lessons for free. As most of the young people work far away, elders and children are left behind in the village. With no child himself, Ye lives with his wife in a bungalow built 30 years ago, where he offers those children who live far away with food and living place. In the past 19 years, Ye has helped more than 1,000 children on his own. Moved by his deeds, volunteers across the country support him in the recent years, and he is also given many honors and awards. However, Ye's will is to run against the time, which he thinks he is really short of to take care of those left-behind children. (Xinhua/Liu Junxi)
