Not long ago I embarked on a high snow-covered field, to the poorest regions of southern pastoral areas of Qinghai Province mm interview, where the cold and oxygen, winter is long, the days of dripping ice up to 10 months. Because harsh natural conditions , the slow development of the local economy, people are still living in pastoral areas where very hard life. In order to promote local education, the Government of the pastoral areas since 2005, 15 million students from poor families to implement the basically solved the difficult problem of pastoral children to school. But when a reporter entered the pastoral school, but found that teachers and students continued to be plagued by severe cold.
a plateau 3,700 meters above sea level set foot on the morning temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius immediately We came to a severe test.
As the temperature is too low, our car was cold interview, and launched a long time but will not start, pushing nearly half an hour, and no, and in the matter, the last local Tibetan villagers of driving a truck to help pull a long time, interviews with car finally started up, to meet the morning sun, we hit the road in winter in the southern pastoral areas of Qinghai and the tragic landscape of some desolate, cold swept every place we visit The first is that about 60 kilometers from the county of Henan Mongolian Autonomous County of Qinghai Tibetan village boarding school Shara, in this cold season, where the students do not know how to spend the winter?
car away more than two hours after the mountain, we came to Henan Mongolian Autonomous County in Qinghai Tibetan boarding schools Shara village where the altitude is 4100 meters, the temperature around minus 13 degrees Celsius, the wind has reached four, is in such a cold In winter, we found that the children here in the open class, which makes us feel very surprised and shocked.
students sitting at the cold ground, follow the teacher read the text.
I asked the teacher why the students in the courtyard of students in the classes? teacher told me that peaceful time in hot weather, students in the school yard. I immediately asked that today has more than ten degrees below zero temperatures are a? teacher told me that the weather is still relatively hot. The teacher told us that, like This temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius, the weather was sunny, no wind, the students have classes in the yard, so outdoor sun exposure, but also warmer than in the classroom, to school in the classroom, have students burning cow dung, cow a bag of manure to five yuan. that they take a lot of money, the school has no heating. We approached the classroom, there is a very short next to the shed, the teachers say this is the local villagers used to keep livestock warm in winter shed, and now become a temporary school where the children, where we found many students cracking the hands.
corner in the school, we found a shabby jacket children, shivering from the cold in the wind, but the Most of the children still have cotton cotton-padded shoes, the teacher told us Shara small village is not the most severe heating conditions, in fact, poor heating, is the county common situation. We drove more than four hours, came away from the summer drawing more than 120 kilometers of village stipules Mary Township, for the first time in the classroom into the tent.
into the tent, we found the tent without any heating facilities, outdoor temperature reached minus 16 degrees Celsius, four tents to take the air, everywhere drilling to have cold, with a small stool Duzhe some places, but do not withstand the cold. we really worried about them, how many cattle are required for students in winter heating fuel, as long as free time, students had to pick up dung, stipule Mary Township Primary School teacher told us that this is a poor county in the poor areas, transport facilities so mainly by cow dung, if coal, then go to Xining, more than 500 kilometers away to buy, schools simply can not afford, while the southern pastoral areas of Qinghai, but the teacher told us here is not white pick cow dung, each picking up a bag of cow dung to be paid to the ranch owner. an average of 5 dollars a bag of cow dung, snow time to grow to about ten dollars.
stipules Mary Township Primary School now has 240 students, in the last 8 months of the heating period, the school needs 1,400 bags of cow manure. according to local prices, bag of cow dung 5 dollar terms, the winter will need to 7000 yuan, while the school is unable to so much money. After class, the teacher can only point of organizing students to increase the heat running.
6 pm, we find that students here are picking up cow dung braved the cold, none of the students wear gloves, their hands have been frozen very red, the children most of the unlined dress shoes, there is no cotton.
we surprised that the outdoor temperature minus 20 degrees Celsius, and the dormitory is not even raw stove. and the students have turned out to be spread a thin layer of blankets, two people covered with a jacket, no bed, no blankets.
stipules Mary boarding school dormitory town one only 20 square meters, has squeezed more than 30 students, some with a few pieces of wood on the floor of a makeshift bed, a few children do not undress Juansu in a jacket, the use of each heating temperature Some hostels do not fire throughout the winter.
Secretary for Education of Henan Mongolian Autonomous County, Zhen told us that at present the county's boarding schools like this are fourteen, a total of 4,500 people, which more than 4,000 students, more than 3,000 poor students, education, light heating arrears to the current 1.93 million. The county fiscal year, revenue was 5.8 million. Wang Zhen, the Secretary said that Henan Mongolian pastoral areas are cold, altitude 3,800 meters above all, As the cold weather, coupled with financial difficulties, some students in the winter there is no cotton, cotton shoes, and some schools have students do not fire the stove and fuel simply can not afford school. Although the national implementation of the policy, students go to school this one is not a problem, but the heating has been plagued by the local education a major and difficult problems. to when we left Henan Mongolian Autonomous County in Qinghai Province, when a heavy snow falling here, the temperature dropped to about minus 25 degrees Celsius, we winter is more concerned about these kids, we decided to go from Henan Mongolian Autonomous County, neighboring counties Zeku County, 35 kilometers to see, do not know the situation there and in the end do? winter snow-covered plateau of Qinghai, the climate is unpredictable, will become a vast expanse eyes could not see anything, a whipped up a fine tobacco will snow for a while and get blue skies, this weather also caused inconvenience to our interview.
master driver very reluctant to this place, the road was slippery at the slightest mistake could turn down to the car. the car did not dare to open air, if not the oil, it means that we can not return to the county .4 hours later Zeku County, Qinghai Province, we finally came to the village of Baden-school hot sun, where the altitude is 4,000 meters, the temperature minus 25 degrees Celsius, wind to 6. so we are pleased that this school has only 30 more than the students, this classroom Health stove in a fire, but the teacher told me that the stove is not every day life, snow days like today when it is very cold life. because the stove to add cow dung, schools do not have money to buy cattle, and age of students is too small, but also pick out not on the pick, the school money to buy.
we find the situation here than in Henan Mongolian worse, some children do not even socks, old shoes have no heel , got left an upper, after school, the children rushed in to the red side of the stove, and some frozen red and swollen hands.
Kota Canada, in Baden-primary schools in the third grade, 9 years old. his parents to others grazing, income of less than two thousand dollars a year, who is the brother wearing a dress under the jacket, through this winter is the fourth year, the feet of cotton-padded shoes break open your mouth, but no money to buy new. Today is the duty that he and other students from the water, where water about 7,000 meters from the school, the public is too old Canadian wearing a pair of cotton shoes, one foot deep shallow step foot in the snow, the river side opening pair of cotton shoes sticky snow makes gripping reading. In the winter they fell in the snow I do not know how many wrestle, there is a new pair of cotton-padded shoes is their wishful thinking. Baden-school classroom where the class is boys only have a place to sleep at night, into the primary school dormitory Baden, we found no dormitory bed board, quilts and mattress directly stacked on the cold ground. teacher told me that schools are too poor to afford the bed board, there is both a school canteen quarters.
