Liu Xiaosheng is 73 years old. During the past summer vacation, he had been teaching children English every day except Sunday for over a month.

Before he retired, Liu was a foreign language teacher at a university in Chongqing. In 2012, he brought his family to a cool place in Guizhou to spend the summer. One evening, he saw a neighbor’s child learning English. He asked the child to read him a passage. He found the child had a bad pronunciation. As a teacher, he knew how important pronunciation was to learning the language, so he began to teach the child.

In this way, Liu had his first student. Soon, more and more people in the village knew the news that a retired university teacher taught students English for free, and more and more children came to learn. At first, Liu taught in his living room, and then moved into the corridor(走廊) for more space. But soon, the corridor was packed with students. One villager volunteered to leave his rice milling(碾米) room so that Liu can use it as a classroom. The villagers raised money to buy desks, chairs, and a blackboard. Later, as the number of students grew, Liu set up a classroom in the courtyard(院子) of a villager’s house. He is now known as the “courtyard teacher”.

Every summer, about 40 children come for English learning. This summer, more than 60 turned up. Many of his students are now university students. He said that teaching had become a part of his life.
