The cave school I visited was one such independently run elementary school. Mr. Chang, the schoolmaster, returned to his home village after graduating from junior high school. Moved by the plight of the local kids who had nowhere to learn, he re-opened the long-neglected cave that had served as a schoolroom and began to take pupils.
我探訪的窯洞小學正是一所民辦小學，張老師初中畢業回鄉，有感同村子弟失學的不幸，把鎖了多年的破窯洞打開，自行收生教學。
