In the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, 47 kilometers from the China-Kyrgyzstan border, sits a primary school. Here, a group of Chinese Gen Z volunteer teachers received a reply letter from President Xi Jinping and celebrated their very first Teachers’ Day. Seventy percent of the students are children of border patrol families—their parents guard the frontier year after year, while these teachers from across the country guard the children’s future.
