Zhuhai teacher goes extra mile for Xizang students

'Father Chen' is a constant companion for his charges, who are far from home

Chen Geng is always very busy during festivals and holidays.

As the director of the Xizang department of Zhuhai No 4 Middle School in Guangdong province, Chen spends every New Year's Day, Spring Festival, National Day, Dragon Boat Festival and other major holidays with his students from the Xizang autonomous region in his school.

"The children left their parents in Xizang and came to study in Zhuhai, and it was inevitable they would not adapt quickly to the new environment and climate," Chen said. "Therefore, our love and care for them has become particularly important."
