Name: Tang Guomin - Age: 37 - Profession: Teacher at Zhuxi Middle School, Dazu County - Honor: Chongqing Moral Model - Category: Altruism
Over the past eighteen years of teaching, in order to sponsor impoverished students' schooling, during every holiday, he has gone to construction sites to do manual labor, worked in a blacksmith shop, and carried baskets door-to-door in residential areas to collect scrap.
This National Day holiday, Tang Guomin was busy working overtime at school organizing "universal nine-year compulsory education" materials. Staying indoors during the holiday doing such light physical work is something that Tang Guomin, in his eighteen years as a teacher, has rarely had the chance to enjoy so "luxuriously."
