Muqiao's primary school may be the smallest in China - there are only two students and one teacher!

木巧小学或许是我国最小的一所学校，它仅有两名学生、一名老师！

Yang Jinhua is the sole educator at the village school, located in Tonggu county of Chongqing Municipality.

这所学校位于重庆市铜鼓县，杨金华是这里唯一的教师。

The 53-year-old has been teaching at the school for 35 years, ever since he graduated from college at the age of 18.

现年53岁的他，自18岁那年大学毕业，已在这里执教35载。

Yang is so dedicated¹ to the school that he has pledged not to leave even if only one student remains².

杨老师坚守岗位，兢兢业业，誓言即使全校只剩下一名学生，他也要将教育工作进行到底。

He has also crafted an iron hub from a car tire into a bell to hang at the school's entrance. He tolls³ the bell before every class.

他拿废弃的汽车铁轮毂做了口钟，悬挂在小学门口。每堂课开始前，他就敲响钟声提醒大家进入课堂。

Yang is not only in charge of every subject, but also has numerous extra duties.

除了各科教学外，杨老师还要负责很多其他事情。

For example, he maintains the mountain road so that heavy rains will not prevent the kids from making their way to the classroom.

比如，下大雨时候，他要确保学生上学的山路不会发生意外。

He rejected the opportunity to teach at a bigger school as he believed children who live in the remote area are too young to walk for hours to get an education.

他拒绝了去往更大学校教书的机会，因为他认为住在偏远地区的孩子还太小，不能长途跋涉数小时去往别的学校学习。

Because he chose to stay, local children have the chance to attend school near the village.

而正是由于他选择留在这里，当地的孩子才有机会就近念书。
