Lan Huiyun is a geography teacher from No. 1 Middle School in Shanxi province. After his students finished the gaokao of 2022, he let them experience a special journey. He and his 13 students finally reached Qinghai Lake in Qinghai province after riding 2,000 kilometers in 18 days.

They set off from their school and passed through the provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, the Inner Mongolia and Ningxia Hui autonomous regions(自治区) and Gansu province before arriving in Qinghai.

In early May 2022, Lan began to plan a safe bicycle route. He also provided training about riding and staying safe. “When I noticed they were tired or in low spirits, I would give them some snacks or tell them a joke to inspire them to keep going,” he said. “Luckily, all of us persisted(顽强坚持) and reached the destination.”

It was not the first time Lan had organized such a journey to commemorate(纪念) the end of high school. After the gaokao of 2016, he and seven of his students rode from Shuozhou to Manzhouli. And in 2019, Lan and 11 students spent 16 days riding from Shuozhou to Shanghai.

“I never thought a teacher’s task was only to teach from books,” he said. “I hope the students will experience real life and learn how to deal with difficulties.” Although it needs time to organize such activities, he said he was “happy to see their growth during the trips. I will continue to bring more students to ride outside our city in the future”.
