This is the story of an 8 year old Chinese boy township of Xinjie in Yunnan Province, China.

His trek became viral due to the pictures you are about to see, and soon after people from all places started to contact the school in order to contribute and help in any way possible to improve the terrible learning conditions for the little boy and his fellow students.
