- Are you the station manager?
- Yes.
1:27:03
Is there something I can do?
1:27:05
You don't want an ad.
1:27:07
30 seconds costs 600 yuan.
1:27:09
That's money you don't have.
1:27:13
But the station manager wants to help.
We have a plan.
1:27:19
We have a show called
"Today in China."
1:27:22
It's our highest rated show.
1:27:24
You'll be our guest
on education in the countryside.
1:27:27
We'll mention your student.
It's sure to work.
1:27:31
Education standards
have reached new levels.

Education standards

1:27:35
Knowledge has increased...
1:27:37
with the mandated
9 years of school.
1:27:41
But for some
it's more difficult.
1:27:45
Especially in the rural areas.
1:27:48
They don't have
the necessary tools.
1:27:50
And lots of children, for many reasons,
can't go to school.
1:27:55
Today, I am honored to introduce...
1:27:57
a special guest...
1:28:00
who will talk about
education in the countryside.
1:28:04
I have here Miss Wei from
Shuixian Village primary school.
1:28:11
Can you tell us about...
1:28:14
the situation at your school?
1:28:22
Miss Wei is a little nervous.
1:28:25
Zhang Huike is
a third grade student at Shuixian.
1:28:28
His mother is ill
and the family owes money.
1:28:31
He came to work
to pay their debt.
1:28:34
Teacher Wei came
to the city by herself...
1:28:37
to find Zhang Huike...
1:28:39
so he can go back to school.
1:28:41
More and more students
are leaving school.
1:28:46
Why do you think this happens?
1:28:49
Don't be nervous.
1:28:56
Their families are poor.
