"The Children have more and more exchange and communication with others outside the Red Ribbon School now," said Guo Xiaoping, headmaster and founder of the school. "There are volunteers that visit the school every week, which brings much joy to the children," he said.

Though these students still have classes at Shanxi Linfen Red Ribbon School, their student archives, education plan and tuition fee were wholly in charged by Linfen No 3 School. Moreover, from next year, Linfen No 3 School will arrange teachers to give lessons in the Red Ribbon School to further improve the school's teaching quality.
"I hope I will have opportunities to go to university and have a job in the future," said Hu Zetao.
