In pictures: touching moments of 2020 in China (3)

Zhang Guimei weeps during a lecture at the Huaping Senior High School for Girls in Lijiang, southwest China's Yunnan Province, Sept. 5, 2020. Zhang is the principal of the Huaping Senior High School for Girls, the country's first public high school that provides free education for female students, in the city of Lijiang, southwest China's Yunnan Province. She has been educating and aiding students in need, most living in isolated and poor areas. The school, led by Zhang, has created a miracle for the girls: 1,804 graduates have been admitted to colleges. Looking back at 2020, there are always some warm pictures and touching moments: the dedication on the front line to fight against the epidemic, the perseverance on the way out of poverty, the courage to shoulder the responsibility on the embankment against the flood, the joy and pride when reaching the summit of Mount Qomolangma... These people and things touch our hearts and give us warmth and strength. (Photo by Chen Xinbo/Xinhua)
