The picture shows the poster of the online documentary "Rural Teachers".

The online documentary "Rural Teachers" is rooted in the era of comprehensive rural revitalization, focusing on the vivid details of rural primary and secondary education in Tongren, Guizhou, and telling a group of warm and admirable rural education stories. In the work, from principals to ordinary teachers, they interpret the responsibilities of educators to teach and impart knowledge with practical actions, and do their best to create a good growth environment for children. They work hard for "controlling dropouts and ensuring schooling", provide door-to-door education for disabled children, accompany left-behind children, and add light to children's lives through cultural and recreational activities such as calligraphy and cheerleading. The whole work has no voice-over, and the use of subtitles and narration is also relatively restrained. In contrast, the rich and lively lens language tells the story of the children's growth and the selfless dedication and unremitting perseverance of rural teachers. In addition, the film shows from the side how the children adapt to the new environment after relocation for poverty alleviation, the effective guarantee of family education, and the reform and development of integrated urban and rural compulsory education, which inspires the audience to pay more attention to and think about rural education issues.
