A mountainous farming region in one of China’s poorest provinces feels the drain as young parents migrate to the cities, and those left behind struggle.

poverty, miles to school, ill family members , and yet these families don't seem bitter. The children continue to go to school, the surviving parents continue to put their children's needs above their own. It is said, that who you truly are, will show itself in the face of adversity. These people amaze and humble me with their spirit.
Missy Rabbit yeah, it makes me feel ashamed because I’m so ungrateful for the things I have yet these kids would die to have my life and die to be able to experience the life I have.
Yes that's why due to their and many others determination China is progressed nation and electronics hub
AMEN
Very well said.
Well put
Man... Respects to you sir, the headmaster. He could have probably got a decent life teaching in the city but he commits to teaching in this school so that the next generation can have a chance to improve their lives.
In China, special scholarships and education programs are given to poor educators that require them to go back to their original villages and teach for 10 or 15 years to pay back what the government gave them.
@@sheg2291 Not necessarily. This offer is usually given to students from poor areas with the hopes that their education will improve the areas that they came from.
@@sheg2291 Depends, some overseas student is paid by their family, so they can do whatever they want, some are paid by government, they usually has very good grade, and they are required to keep high grade so gov will keep paying for them, they must go back to China after studie.
@@sheg2291 That kind of special programs last for more than 10 years. If you agree, you can sign a contrast with the government and the government then will pay the cost during your study the collage, after graduation you need to go back to your hometown or other poor areas to teach.
A true hero.
When the kid started praising his mum about working so hard, I teared up.
ikr its so cute
Goes for alot of us
Even a rural school in china's poorest province, with only 3 students, has internet and computer. and it offers online English courses...i dont know about other developing nations. From the Chinese government to villages, china's dedication to education is quite amazing.
i agree. on my country in poor village, many school have no internet and enough facility..
In european union only during last few years rural school modernization is more or less finished
facts
Americans need to adopt the chinese mindset
Then there's my school.
*wE BaD WiFi; We nO UsE CoMpUtEr eXcEpT FoR TeStS*
My Privat School in Germany still has no Wifi, its so uncommmon here.
Did anyone else get super emotional when the kid said " My dream is to be a solider. Because a solider can protect the people and the country." I think it's more meaningful if you understand it in Chinese
especially when our gov failed to take care of these kids in poor area. But i do appreciate government's effort to provide enough education equipment for these children.
Yeah, yeah. Becoming a soldier and help the banditry-hooligan communist government to bully and invade little Taiwan and the South Seas. Taiwan, Japan, Korea and the US helped China develop when it decided to open up, hoping that a prosperous and advanced China would become a democratic regime. However, the Chinese are now ingrates, biting the hands which had fed them, and became an accursed bully. The CCP continues to brainwash its people with an anti-foreign sentiments, believing everyone is China's enemy and they rather embrace dictatorship than democracy because they need the CCP to protect them from invasion. The CCP also feeds them with an invading, bullying nationalistic sentiments - this is your mother's sovereignty, that's your granny's land, not to allow your daddy's balls being split apart. China people don't understand wealth and military power cannot earn respect and adoration.
The US never bully other countries？
ktkska 888 do you know what communism is?
I’m mandarin and in Beijing everyone wants to become a soldier for either fame, money, or a job. Mostly fame so I imagine this kid being a famous soldier along with his family. :,)
Respect to the journalists, and the teacher, we need to acknowledge the problems before we can solve them.
It's not a problem to be solved. We are still in the progress of urbanization, people will move in the cities, the school will shut down when these kids go the middle school in town, a village with no cropable land like this will die. But that's ok. We are constantly moving away from old lives. While it can be sad, we'll find the future.
No point staying there... so much hardship to many people ... relocate to areas that are productive to yr efforts.
Lol I made the comment have 1.1k likes
You're welcome
It used to have 300 students
Most people have move to urban area
And leave the village
I don’t know what is the problem you are trying to say
This is why I love the Chinese culture, discipline is the best form of love.
The teachers, the parents and the children, even in such a difficult situation haven't given up. 🤗🤗
As an English teacher in China. I smiled so much when the other kid said that English sentence 😊😊😊
Have you heard of the tianamin square massacre
@@picklecult1228 have you heard of holocoust in Auschwitz
@@MaltiAlex yes
@@picklecult1228 and then so?. Is your country better than china?
@@jovidutful no I’m just saying China isn’t all fun and roses
Now thats called true Chinese spirit..even in such a difficult situation they are all smiles..
Patson Lim I agree with you so let’s kick the asses of thug Chinese government.
Fuck Communism, If Deng Xiaoping never leads China to economic reform (using Capitalism) China won't be like this today. :)
exactly...I always laugh when I see people saying china is still a communist country
PAlive La true
Zack Lam You can’t because you two are way too stupid
They know their future is brighter than the past. They know poverty is temporary for them. Poverty, not misery: this is a key difference. True respect.
Well said!
@PeaceMynusOne yes yes sure..bla bla bla...You don't even know the meaning of CCP....You are a troll basically... think about the only release for you...it's the same, just different point of view.
I only care and protect the Truth in whatever I do and see. You have been condemned to damnation. And cannot redeem. Now disappear.
@@AL-jz3jv magic
@@AL-jz3jv he deleted comment what did it say?
my tears out, cuz my father came out from poor village as well, and I'm so lucky that I can study in abroad.
does you Dad work for the CCP?
@@katemakeup His father must have changed his destiny by going to university. Chinese education is very fair. The government has made great efforts to educate everyone. Even in remote places, equipment and teachers will be sent to teach. And almost all the teachers in the developed areas of the country will go to remote places to support teaching, which is even a required course for new graduates. In China，as long as the scores are enough, everyone will be admitted to the university without worrying about the cost, so the mobility of Chinese class is very fast.
@Jacob maybe because he doesn't live in an English speaking country?
Kate100294764 even though he did work for CCP, what’s wrong with it?
Kate100294764 working for CCP is not the only to live a better life
Those boys' mother's smile at 9:53 bring me to tears. I hope they have better life now.
I teared down while look at it, it s My hometown, DingXi, poorest area in China, I was even more poor than this while I was in the shool. But the children and teatcher are great, even the lovely farmer, they have dreams, they work hard for it, the cute boys will get into University, they are future owner of China, Great respect to them! 向家乡人致敬！
Yongkang Ma do u live in china?
Niketa Kirdat yes. but we can VPN, I work oversea.
It’s sad when the kids leave their parents behind in the poor village. :( I hope these boys do make it to college
Yongkang Ma 作为一个兰州人看thumbnail就觉得熟悉得不成，果然是甘肃😃
农村的人口确实减少的很快，都搬出去了
Respect for the headmaster and the teachers for not giving up on the 3 children 🙏🙌💪
The deep reason why they don’t give up is the support from the government
Y e s
@@lilian2627 Nonetheless, that doesn't discount their hardwork and dedication. They get that support because they need it. Would they only be praise-worthy for you if they got nothing?
9:46 what do you want your son to do in future , mom reaction is priceless & tear of happyness because she know her son is studying and probably a great person in future.
Wow!!! What dedication the teachers have. Only 3 students and 1 classroom left yet they kept the school going and with heat. Amazing teachers and kids!!
This is why China is going to surpass the US sooner than expected. Even the poorest of the poorest Chinese people don't whine and blame the government or foreigners for their circumstances; they simply work hard and do the best with what they have. Amazing culture.
@王全真 interesting
Try and complain, and you will disappear. Simple. Tiananmen square, remember. Or has that disappeared from your history as well?
China will never surpass USA in another five thousand years. The Chinese foundation for a strong and just country does not exist. It is a system based on robbing and exploiting the majority poor and ignorant, by a minority of Communist Thugs. By the way I am a patriotic Chinese.
王全真 please don’t disrespect the student leaders. We happen to know because those were the EDUCATED and SMART people in China during that time. They led the revolution that almost occurred.
王全真 hey kiddo, ur the brainwashed one here. I have access to whatever media I want to see. You can only access STATE RUN MEDIA! Technically you should be even be on TH-cam as it is blocked. So that proves that you think Chinese media is not good enough so you must outsource to better and more free media.
That 3 teachers are great men. Facilities in that school also looks good.
Their mum looks like one in a million type. And what a radiant smile.
The fact that this mom is smiling, despite the many challenges for her AND her family, I’m humbled. I think we could all learn a thing or two from this. I know I certainly can. Thanks you for the enlightenment 🙌🏾
A rare breed of diligent and decent people.
decent people are rare in China, yes
Kate100294764 What’s wrong with you? You are everywhere spreading rumors and speaking ill of China. What’s the point to do it , such a loser
lihan xu exactly!
@@lilian2627 Kate is a bot account
I love these children they smile in poverty while i frown in a mid class home i need to appreciate life a little more...
ƃn!ɥʇon soo relatable
ƃn!ɥʇon you've been watching too much anime that's why.
Darkness Of Hatred no u
【KillMeXD】 I stopped a long ago. And I see a difference on your profile pic, hmmm!
Darkness Of Hatred i still like anime tho i just changed cause i got bored of the other one
The teachers caught my attention for their devotion more than the kids. The teachers are the the heroes in this story
Imagine your school dwindling over the years and the isolation you live in as a teacher. This must be so hard for them as well. I greatly admire their commitment and dedication.
You can feel the headmasters sadness when he said there was only one class left
They are so cute ^^ I wish they could achieve their dreams in the future.
A good short documentary. I have travelled in China twenty times in all. I have helped out in schools and done community work in villages. The people have always been friendly and respectful. Especially when I was cycling there. Many children walk long distances to school and are happy, proud and realize the importance of education and family. Lovely people.....
Thanks, sir. I am ashamed that i haven't visited many villages myself even I was from such a village 30 years ago.
Maybe I should contribute more to my own country
@@chima6291 Why don't you remove that "Maybe"?
Thank you!
Thank you, Sir.
The fact that the Chinese government would not close a school with only 3 students is amazing. It is shows their true dedication to learning.
ROFL are you serious? this just shows how the government is not investing enough on its rural cities.
@@LikeTotallyDouchey and ur govt?
@@LikeTotallyDouchey Actually Chinese govt only cares to invest in the cities and forget about the country side. Consequently those who could not go to cities which are far away from home are left behind and could never be able to get out of poverty.
@@LikeTotallyDouchey : It's the same in MURCA!.
Federal and state governments plow money into urban areas cause that's where the resources (i.e. MONEY) are and don't give any thought to rural areas.
BTW: when I say "rural areas" *I'm NOT talking about the vast suburbs of urban metropolitan areas but REAL RURAL areas like in West Virginia and Kentucky and Tennessee and parts of Oklahoma and Kansas and Wyoming and backwaters of the deep southern states where most of them don't have sewers and instead count on septic tanks IF THEY CAN AFFORD TO UPKEEP THEM... and running water........
@@LikeTotallyDoucheyit’s not in a city
My heart goes to these 3 children who still go to school despite the distance. Same as with the 3 teachers who are very compassionate in their profession.
Just 3 students, Its like private class! And They facilities school more complete than in my country.
goverment has shut down 300,000 not hard to afford once you shut that many down
wynna Manami there is no bus they walk more than 4 miles back and forth
对的，其实从另一方面看对孩子有好处的，三个老师三个学生，相当于平均每个学生分配一个老师，这种教育资源的集中相当于私人教师，如果学生和老师能利用好网络资源，对学生的学习有很大帮助。
@@jefferyli4322 It seems that you still have not figured out the status quo, the school has always stood there, the government has been continuously investing, but the problem is that people are fleeing there. Escape from the objective and difficult conditions that manpower is difficult to change.
Jeffery Li it‘s very difficult to build a road there for bus. And only for couple of families there. The government invested already for electricity and internet for them. It is already very great. Besides, I don’t think this village will exist long. These kids will grow up and left this village in the future
Look at these people. They are in such bad condition and they work hard and stay positive. It makes me feel incredibly lucky for just being wherever I am right now. Really wish them the best!
Love how everyone is saying that the kid is brainwashed for saying he wanted to be a soldier. He just wanted to protect his family and his country. Do you know what that is? That is patriotism. That boy has a true spirit of a warrior.
No, he wants to invade Taiwan
@@nc2933 he want invade taiwan for free land,Money and Social credit points
@@cirnoe1484 if he does not he loses social credit and has to eat bats
Invade Taiwan? That is like say USA wants to invade California.
How can a country invade itself?
@@Ateshtesh 🤣🤣🤣 you're not drawing me into it 🐟
My ancestors came from a mountainous poor region of Italy and there’s something about watching these people and footage where my heart tells me I miss elements of this familial culture, and the access to nature.. and how beautifully country-dwellers handle their hardships
Living in China has taught me a lot of things one of which is how to be resilient. Chinese people have an unbreakable spirit. I see it on the faces of people around me every day. Respect to those lovely lads, and their teacher(s). Those beautiful, and resilient people are making the best lemonade out of the lemons life's given to them. Respect!

thank you
我们都是柠檬精🍋
As a Chinese, I don't know if I should be glad or sad about this resilience image. We suffer too much and we deserve a happier life.
Thank you
Thank you and China welcome warm hearted foreigners like you
These children are brave and strong. I cannot help but cry. Bless them and their families and love ones
Big salute to those 3 teachers who still serve their dying society and serving these 3 great student.
#ISaluteYou
The mother has a really genuine smile when she was thinking a wish for her son in the future. 100% mother material.
This is the most heartwarming video I watched today. Now im just waiting for my graduation in uni with a major I do not want. I always wanted to become a teacher. Great respect for teachers!
I pray that your dream will come true and that you will be a dedicated teacher who inspires thousands of kids to become the best they can be.
THIS IS WHY im proud to be asian.
Jacob YOU SHUT UP. It’s not this bad everywhere else, but you have to admire the strength of the people, and the government is trying to help all people
@Jacob why are you so mad?
@Jacob why?
asian?no, only Chinese
@@ttzhang1085 last time i checked, china is part of asia, and therefore saying you're proud to be asian contains youre of china inside of it
I just came from watching another video from this channel - I used to live in Gansu for 3 years! I know where DingXi is. I lived in Shandan County of Zhangye City - similar living conditions. The hopes and dreams that lie in these children’s hearts are so very real. 非常努力的学生！一起加油，好好学习吧！
1:1 student to faculty ratio. This is an amazing school.
Omg these three kids are cute and cheerful ❤️❤️wish you a good future.
True meaning of a teacher .
It is so touched and I watched it twice ! I plan to support one or two students financially per year from now , I will see what I can do NOW. 自己小时候也是这样过来的，看了过后很泪目
Im in tears😭
These are the people who I respect.
Chinese can face any hardship without complaining they can servive anywhere
The mentality of these lovely people truly is an example for most of us, I wish them the best of luck in life!
In a remote village the students are provided computer internet.. Great. Three boys are really cute
Love the teachers who haven't abandoned the students even though the number of students is depressing. The teachers are the greatest givers to mankind, they enrich others' lives even though what they earn is a pittance.
These kids looks so energetic may be from walking those km everyday for 4 years
They are like weeds, with some tenacious spirit, stronger than the flowers in the greenhouse.
At first, my thoughts were this is kinda sad, a village decimated by progress and urbanization. Then I thought about middle America where drugs are ravaging the community and the young people stay put and have no jobs. Then I realized, what China has is actually better. This is what progress should look like. You can't have the best of both worlds. The school headmaster said a lot of young people left their town to work in big cities and now have good lives. That's exactly what should happen. Obviously, the most ideal scenario is the young people stay put, build up the community and make the community thriving. But that's a bit unrealistic. This place is remote, has frequent droughts and not at all a good place to live. Everybody should leave to wherever they can go to have a better life.
yup, this is all planned. Nothing is being decimated - people moving as per govt planning.
That oversimplifies it. Planned and forced, not a community initiative. Plus, the cities are polluted and foster severe respiratory problems. I applaud people who figure out a way to stay in the countryside - with greenery and fresh air. Everyone shouldn't be forced to live in a city.
You give the impression that moving to the city is a sure thing in terms of job security. It's anything but. Rome had the same problem as rural folk heard that the city brought financial windfalls. It didn't and there, crime proliferated of every kind. The same is true of China's cities. Balance is key, not extremism. Far left. Far right. They are both blind, both misdirected and unreasonable.
Singapore had a Central Planning government. That’s what they did in the 60s.
They moved villagers out of their wooden shacks and into concrete government housing with electricity, water and sanitation. Education is mandatory, and everyone HAD to go to school. They bulldozed the villages and had everything planned centrally. Zoning, city planning, electricity grid, roads, etc. Central Planning is a complete departure from Western Liberal Democracy.
State Capitalism.
At the end of the video, that mother stated clearly she wants her child to go outside. That says a lot.
respect for the teacher ...❤😭 and the childrens either they're beautiful and hardworking 😭❤
Brilliant kiddos !! They look so confident and lively despite their living conditions. Daily physical activity walking these kilometers, chinese, english and maths taught by devoted teachers is maybe what’s enough to be happy. Perfect education overall ! 10/10
These 3 boys are smarter, harder working & more determined, than most adults I know..I hope their future is bright 👍...
They live with pride, dignity, morals and determination. And most importantly With LOVE 😍
MONEY CAN'T BUY U NONE OF THAT
Chinese kids: I wanna be a soldier!
Someone: Brainwashed by CCP!
American kids: I wanna be a soldier!
Same one: Thank you for your service!
You must be ignorant of neo-Marxism if you think your comment is satire
@@youtubeshadowbannedme you are ignorant
"CCP brainwashes people because they have a state-run media that has a vested interest".
Meanwhile western media is the same thing, except they favour major political parties.
yeah they’re both brainwashed imagine that
@@bigfrogs4207 ^
This is so eye opening. A similar migration system is affecting villages across the world. Only elderly people remaining. My heart.
Everything about this story brings tears to my eyes. I can only hope and pray these people are not forgotten. And God bless the teachers.
In this school, all the children are very smart. They alway get top positions in class. 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Ha ha ha!

The children are very attentive, and seem happy. Love tje old people, they are gems of the world.
The kids are so adorable, seeing their happy faces is really heartwarming. My best wishes to them, they have a bright future ahead. Also, the headmaster is a good man, the kids are in the hands of a good mentor.
Only Education can change our lives, study hard no matter what!
I feel so sad for the lonely and sickly elderly who’s children have left to work elsewhere. :, ( They must cry everyday.
That precious smile at 9:47 when the mom is thinking about her son's future
This clip makes me shed tears. The most moving part is the moment they read aloud in the classroom and the desire for learning. They are really smart and brilliant chirdren.
They are super clean
Awww... thank you :)
They're not poor.
Hypertext transfer protocol They are not poor but only in a poor place.
it seems cleaner than the cities.
thank you
Is this what a forward moving society needs? Perhaps it simply is not sustainable to live in a village anymore? You cannot blame people for wanting to move out.
Kenneth Chan Who says they *all* want to move. Human beings do what they must to survive, from moving to committing crimes. Survival of the fittest, not faith or prayer, gets people through, even if with sustained misery. That is how the ruling elite continue. Human beings have a high threshhold for suffering, before they revolt. Think French Revolution.
I think Indian government should adopt Chinese style of uplifting poor
To be honest, I cry immediately when I sea the boy saying that he love his mother with sincerely smile.😖
I hope poverty can end soon not just in China, but the entire world.
If you think poverty in China is bad other countries are 100 times way worse.
Jann Lee u donated before?
@Finneas Abadeer
I don't think we can eradicate poverty though. It has been with us since 100s of 1,000s years ago. Even in 200 years, it won't go away. There's always 2 sides to keep something balance, just like a negative and a positive.
Jann Lee saying and praying while not doing anything . Wishing poverty go away ? Nothing but a pipe dream . Someone has to do the dirty work . That is just how the world works
Yup 100% true. I'm willing to live at rural in china than city in hoduras.
Don't think poverty can be eradicated completely. However, we can bridge the wealth gap by having the rich helping the poor through a system.. Basically, the objective is to get prosperity more equally 'distributed' among citizens.
OMG.... 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'll study harder , I'm feeling so small .
Thank you for this video , my life better than them but i always complaining 😢
They may be poor, but that is one of the most beautiful places I've seen
These kids are so adorable. They look happier than those left behind children in other TH-cam videos. Perhaps it is because even they are poor, they have loving parents with them.
Salute to the teacher who never give up, he's dedication and love for teaching is remarkable. The kids were so excited and happy going to school trekking those mountainous terrain. They are so eager to learn despite their difficult situation.
His mom doesn't eat lunch so there's enough for dinner. These kids are such an inspiration. Including the school staff
I admire those three boys their parents and those teachers for not giving up.. Hope those kids will have a brighter future
The level of dedication that teacher had is unbelievable.
It is my hometown, it is quite familiar for me, we really have a very happy childhood, it is a very nice memory, it is much poverty many years ago, but it has improved greatly, it is our dreams to leave the mountains, so many of kids are studying or working hard. it is lucky that many many kids lived in this area in the past have achieved great success in every corner of world
I am happy for you and your friends/relatives who found success in every corner of the world. I respect the teachers who are very dedicated and inspiring, and the folks who are very positive and cheerful. Although it is sad, I find the video very heartwarming.
Thanks, wish happiness accompany good person all the time
I love how that mother stuck with them and had a strong spirit😪
I believe in these children.
They will succeed
especially that boy that speaks English _"like a foreigner"_ 😀✏️📕
With that kind of determination, the kids can succeed in life, all they need is an opportunity 🍀

9:44 made me really sad. she allowed herself to dream for just a second, and then pulled herself back together because her son is not going to be a doctor or a lawyer, and conformed with her reality. you could see she wanted to cry because she couldn't provide her son with the best opportunities, but I want all parents out there to know, we know you work hard and do your best to give us the best you can. we love you.
No. In China, ypu only need to study hard and then there is no other requirments to be a lawyer or a doctor. If you can be admitted by the universities and pass the professional exam, then you can be.
Touched by how determined they are for hiking over mountains to the classroom! Also glad to see they're very confident and positive.
So advanced even in those remote villages!
我倒觉得他们精神世界很丰富的，人在很小的时候不会那么矫情，顾影自怜都是成年人影响的
Wei Zhang 精神世界都是物质慢慢丰富了才有的，要不你去体验一下吃了上顿没下顿的生活?
lamaocaidan niu 你懂个屁，精神世界是一个人明明很穷，但是他很快乐，因为他在做自己喜欢的事。精神世界不是去看电影，你的脑子坏了

但是教育条件的限制，他们能考上大学的几率很小，或许上个职业学校对他们来说是更好的选择。
@@user-qs7fl5vq2f 差别很大的，你上什么高中几乎决定你考什么大学。我高中是在县城高中读的，高考成绩是全县100左右，但放在隔壁县就是前五名。这还是县与县的差异。
Jiayou! The spirit in these children is great, and the teachers along with the parents seem to nurture that.
I’m so glad the three boys have each other, their loving families, and amazing dedicated teachers! My heart goes out to all of them, they are all heroes and I could not imagine myself in the same place and staying so positive.
Very humble people. I am glad that the school is not close because there are only 3 students.
Seems to be a phenomenom all over the world. Japan has the same problem, so has countries like Russia and Finland. Rural towns are getting older when the younger folk are moving closer to bigger cities.
I"ve been in this situation .When i was kid. These kids are smart.Hope and pray Our Lord tsje care and help them of they daily needs in life😊😍
i admire and respect the headmaster and all the people who stayed behind to help each other. its not an easy life but look at them they still smile and enjoyed the company of each other 🥺
Thats called true spirit keep it up.... cried watching this video.... And seeing the kids very happy m so proud of them..thank u for sharing this video..!
I remember my grandma used to tell me how my dad need to walk 7 km a day just to get to the school. My dad did it until he enter secondary school then he survive on his own living in the dorm with a few money away from my grandparents for about 5 years. All the hard work he did pay off today :)
Same situation here in japan many people started coming to tokyo to find work and many countryside places became ghost towns and japan population keeps getting lower
Sorry for bad English
I'm really touched by how the kids would still want to get go to school even if it means walking for 5-6 kms in -12°c weather. And they can still smile about it.
Reminds me that i should be very grateful for the things and comfort i possess now. I hope to be like the mother, who can still have a warm smile even in the most unfortunate circumstances. (And her teeth is so nice..! Wow).
When I see something like this, I am more grateful than ever. It also motivates me more to work harder and do better in life. Hat off to all the students, teachers and parents in the video.
I want to become an astronaut!
I want to be a soldier!
The second kid is just trying to keep it real. Living the hard life in the middle of nowhere makes these two kids grow up fast.
and hopes to protect people I treasured and land. so moved with it😔
Most Chinese astronauts before joining a spaceflight program were air force pilots anyway.
I'm a little worried when they say that with the red cloth tied around their neck. It's the attire of the Maoist guards 紅衛軍.
The first one is not that unreal... many Chinese kids from a similar poor background eventually achieved university education and became professionals.
3forte I believe the kids and their ambitions because nothing is impossible especially for the Chinese there's something in their genes
