Chen Qiuju, who was born in the 1990s, has been working in Leyang primary school for eight years. This primary school is located in Zhongtian township of Ziyang city, southwest China's Sichuan province.

Chen is the youngest teacher among the 16 teachers in Leyang primary school. She teaches 37 students in fifth grade among which nearly two thirds are leftover children.

After a five-year stay with these students, Chen knows a lot about her students.

Chen says that these students have not come across the difficulties such as lack of money, food or clothes; they are in great need of love.

In her spare time, Chen likes reading literature works and writing novels or essays, among which some get published.
