yī一wèi位zhōng guó cháo xiǎn zú中国朝鲜族nǚ xìng女性de的gù shì故事
Ms. Li is a Korean ethnic person from Yanbian, Northeast China.
Her family was very poor when she was a child, and there were eight children.
She had to take care of her younger brothers and sisters from a very young age and couldn't play like other children.
Later, she started school later than others and missed studying because she got sick from the cold winter.
Despite this, she studied very hard and had excellent grades.
In 1966, she was selected as an outstanding student and went to Beijing to meet Chairman Mao.
However, after the Cultural Revolution began, all schools were closed, and she could only work on a farm.
Later, she got married and life was very hard; she had to take care of her family and children alone.
After the Cultural Revolution ended, the country began to value education again, but she no longer had the chance to continue her studies.
Although she couldn't attend university herself, her two daughters were admitted to good universities and became teachers.
She hopes her granddaughters can freely pursue their dreams.
Ms. Li's story tells us that many women lost the opportunity to study because of family, ethnicity, and social reasons, but they still live strongly.
