HENGYANG, May 31 (Xinhua) -- In Miaoxi Primary School, there is a band with eight children, seven of whom are left-behind children, and the youngest is only 9 years old. Half a year ago, this remote rural primary school began to recruit volunteers with artistic talents, and Wen Jin, a music volunteer who runs a musical instrument shop, came to the school to teach music. Every Tuesday, Wen Jin would drive an hour and a half from the city through mountain roads to give music lessons to students. Thanks to the power of music, children in Miaoxi Primary School become more cheerful and confident.
