It was in early of July, on our way to a primary school in Xincheng village, it's around 2 hours away from Qingshui County. The landscape along the mud mountain road was spectacular, crossing of golden wheat piles plus green maize trees.

Our bus stopped in the middle of a village, a small one, with dozens of yellow mud houses. We were told it's a Muslim village, and farmers were working in the fields in that season, so only some livestocks walking around.

We visited Li Bin's home. He's supported by Children of Madaifu now, 240RMB per quarter. This boy, an orphan,  stays with his grandparents, his grandma has mind disease. He's only around 10 years old, but you can feel he understands much more beyond his age. He was quite polite, welcoming us like a host.  He waited at the entrance, as he was informed Mr.Yang(Children of Madaifu) would come that day. After he got the money, he put it carefully into his pocket, and  would hand it to his grandpa to keep it.

We didn't stay long. So Li Bin saw us off to the road, then he went back to the fields.

One thing impressed us deeply, we never saw smiles from this boy! He even didn't speak a lot. He's too young to take the family responsibility. But he made it!

On our way leaving the village, Mr. Yang told us:

"You know what's the dream of this boy? A tape-repeater. He once expressed he hopes to have a tape-repeater to learn English."
