1985年，中国设立了教师节，即广大人民教师的特殊节日。教师节的设立向广大教师们辛勤劳动，为社会做出的贡献表达了深深的敬意。

The purpose of Teachers’ Day is to form a social atmosphere  which teachers and knowledge should be respected.

教师节设立的目的是要形成一种社会氛围，要尊师重道，对知识怀有敬畏之心。

Setting the Teachers’ Day at the beginning of the school year is to arouse the enthusiasm of teachers and students for their work, and to have a good beginning of teaching and learning.

教师节的日期定在每学年之初，是为了激发教师和学生对他们的工作积极性，从而为教学和学习提供一个良好的开端。

On Teachers’ Day, students usually send greeting cards with good wishes to their teachers to show their respects.

在教师节那天，学生通常向他们的老师发送问候与良好祝愿的贺卡，以表达他们对老师的尊敬。

The woman is named Zhang Guimei, who was listed as one of the top 10 people that moved China in 2020 by China Central television, and a national outstanding member of the Communist Party of China(CPC).

张桂梅，被中央电视台评为2020年中国十大感动人物之一，是中国共产党全国优秀党员。

In 2002, Zhang Guimei was a rural teacher. Seeing the backward and unequal distribution of educational resources, she vowed to build a free senior high school for girls in the mountains so as to offer them an opportunity to go to the world.

2002年，张桂梅还是一名农村教师。看到中国贫困山区教育资源的落后和不平等，她发誓要为山区的女孩儿们建一所免费高中，让她们免费接受教育，让她们有机会走出山区走向世界。

However, in half a year after she established the school, nine of its 17 teachers resigned because of the poor conditions. Six out of the eight remaining teachers were Part members.

然而，建校半年后，学校17名教师中有9名因条件恶劣辞职。

From that day on, Zhang Guimei, together with other teachers, as well as the students, went all out. 

从那天起，张桂梅就和其他老师以及学生一起全力以赴。

Three years later, all 96 students of the school’s first intake were admitted to universities.

三年后，该校首批招收的96名学生全部被大学录取。

Zhang, together with the rest of the teachers, helped 1840 girls change their fate with knowledge by 12 years of perseverance.
