A primary school in Linhai, Zhejiang province, 670 m above sea level, has just one teacher and one student.
The Lantian Central School once had 500 students. But as the years passed, an increasing number of residents left the region to find jobs elsewhere, taking their children with them.
Zhang Wanjin, 56, is now the only teacher at the school, which has just one student, 12-year-old Zhang Hongyuan.
Zhang Wanjin, who has taught in the school for 36 years, says he would never quit teaching at the school as long as there is a student.
