After living through major tragedies, such as the Wenchuan Earthquake that claimed over 68,000 lives and the Zhouqu mudslides that left 1,400 dead, the new semester starting Wednesday may bring a much-needed sense of normality to the affected students.

Senior high schoolers of the mudslides-hit Zhouqu County, northwest China’s Gansu Province, began a new semester on a usual date, Sept. 1, which is the first day of school in many parts of China, but at a place 400 km south of Zhouqu, the provincial capital of Lanzhou.

After the county was hit by massive mudslides on Aug. 8, two primary schools were damaged and high schools are now being used by these pupils. So high schoolers, altogether more than 3,000, were transferred to four schools in Lanzhou and Dingxi City.

“The new dormitory has everything — bed sheets, tooth brushes, slippers, toilet paper, you name it”, said Wang Wentian, whose house was destroyed. Fortunately, her family was not at home when the mudslides struck.

Another student, Guo Xiangban, lost several loved ones in the mudslides. “I still feel sad when I am alone. But the past is the past and I have to move on with my life,” said Guo.

On the same day, students of the newly-built Beichuan High School, where over 1,000 students were killed after two school buildings collapsed during the Wenchuan earthquake on May 12, 2008, also started their new semester.

“I have never been in a school so beautiful. There is even a bathroom in our dorm,” said Qiao Qi, a senior high student at Beichuan.

The new school, covering an area of 15 hectares, can accommodate 5,200 students. Before the school was built, students, like nomads, had studied during the past two years in tents, then makeshift classrooms.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Guo Dongmei looked at the bustling sports field where her schoolmates could not wait to try out the new sports equipment, such as the parallel bars.

Lu Zhao has discovered his own way of keeping a smile on his face – by helping others.

“I smile all the time, because philanthropy makes me happier and younger, ” said Lu.

Five years ago the now 40-year-old set up an organization called Non-Profit Incubator (NPI), which assists in the development of non-profit organizations (NPOs) and social enterprises.

But he came upon this career path indirectly. Before embarking on philanthropy, Lu was a reporter, which led to an interest in business, especially in trade and public relations, an area he would develop over the next decade.

During his Master of Business Administration studies in 2000, he made contacts with many government officials and had the chance to approach people in well-paid positions.

“I would call it a 30-year-old’s crisis, when you really wanted to jump out of your old life and do something genuinely meaningful,” Lu said in explaining why he turned down the potential to work for a private domestic firm.

At the same time, he was invited by an MBA classmate, a senior government official, to lead a newspaper involved in charity – an area he suddenly realized combined all his skills.

“Whenever I did volunteer work for either school dropouts or drug addicts, I felt so fulfilled. It’s totally a different logic from doing business.

“Business seeks the biggest profit, where you earn a lot of money, but the joy is only for yourself. Charity, in contrast, brings about a much broader social effect.”

Lu not only found a sense of fulfillment in doing charity, he also discovered many problems that face NPOs, such as poor training and funding.

According to current laws, only organizations registered with local bureaus of civil affairs can receive subsidies from the government.

But governments in China tended to take cautious stances towards these civil organizations. So most received licenses only from local bureaus of industry and commerce, which means they had to be self-financing.

Teachers in rural China face major challenges in keeping students in the classroom with many teenagers now choosing to quit school to live as migrant workers.

Although poverty used to be the main reason for dropping out, some teachers say children as young as 13 years old are abandoning their studies to chase their dreams of big money in the cities.

“Cases of children giving up education to be migrant workers can be found in any village in central and western parts of China today,” said Wu Guobao, a senior researcher with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences’ rural development institute.

At Wangji Elementary and Junior High School in Dongxiang county, Gansu province, principal Ma Jincheng estimated almost half of its 900 students will drop out after finishing junior high.

“Many of these children will be migrant workers by the time they are 16 years old,” he said. “They learn about the world outside (their village) through television, the Internet and relatives who work away from home. It’s not easy to convince them to stay in school.”

Ma recalled one 15-year-old class monitor who quit school to live in Shanghai and then returned six months later to successfully persuade two classmates to join him there.

“He told his friends that Shanghai has everything they wanted: jobs and money. So they left,” he added. “It’s not easy for a teenager to resist such a thing.”

Zhang Jijun, a 29-year-old teacher, said he has experienced similar problems at his school, Liudu Elementary and Junior High, which is in an impoverished village of Southwest China’s Yunnan province.

“My students all write about their city dreams in their essays,” he said. “When I try to persuade them to finish junior high school, they argue that their illiterate parents can work in the city, so why can’t they.”

Before the school moved into a newly built three-story building this year, Zhang said children used to study in a wooden shack that had a cowshed downstairs.

“Now we have better facilities but fewer students,” he added.

Wu Yingzhen, who teaches at an elementary school in Zelang village, also in Yunnan, said she fears that only a handful of her 11 pupils will stay until they are 14. (Children in China generally start junior high at 12 but the age is higher in extremely poor areas.)

“Many of them will go to the brickyards in Jiangxi province to carry bricks with their friends and family,” said the 26-year-old, who regularly visits parents to convince them to keep children in school.

“Some parents think they are helping their children by dispensing with, what they believe, is an unnecessary and expensive education,” said Wu Yingzhen. “But they’re actually ruining their lives.”

About 90 percent of migrant workers in her village returned from the cities after five to 10 years, she added.
