Rural schoolteacher heartens 'left-behind' children through poetry

CHANGSHA－"The cotton spits out the harvest."

Moved by her student's verse three years ago, 26-year-old Li Bolin started a poetic journey with her students in rural China.

Li teaches at Suyu Hope Primary School in Huitong county, Hunan province. Roughly half of the students are being cared for by their grandparents as their parents have migrated to faraway cities for higher-paid work.
