作為一名特教老師，光有耐心是不夠的，還要細心，更重要的是要有愛心，要平等地對待每一個孩子。

Xie Xiaohua， who has been working as a special education teacher for the past 26 years， has won the heart of hundreds of children in special needs and is called “Mum Xiaohua” by many of them. “It is my greatest happiness and fulfillment to care for them as they grow up，” said the

48?year?old Xie， who has been working at Yiyuan County Special Education School in Zibo， Shandong Province.

Xie provides specialized care for each student according to their physical conditions and helps them with learning， dining and accommodation. For example， she had undertaken the responsibility for carrying a student with physical impairment to restrooms， canteens， classrooms and the dormitory for nine years until the student graduated from the school.

To ensure every child received scientific and targeted rehabilitation training， she worked out specific plans for them. For children with mental handicaps， Xie patiently coached them to master basic skills of taking care of themselves in daily life. She also spent lots of time training children with hearing and speech impairments to work on their pronunciation， which often caused her to develop a swollen throat.

Starting in 2015， the school launched a campaign of offering door?to?door education to students who could not attend school because of severe physical disabilities. Xie was among over 30 teachers tasked with tutoring those students. The teachers have trekked over 60，000 kilometers over the past seven years during the campaign because many villages where the students live are located in mountainous areas.

“Although we do feel exhausted sometimes， we feel our work is valuable after witnessing their progress， even just a little bit，” Xie said.
