A look at the rural teaching couple honored with a Jack Ma award

When the ceremony for the Jack Ma Rural Teacher Award recently took place in Sanya, South China's Hainan province, 101 winners, instead of the usual 100, arrived from 23 provinces, regions and municipalities to receive the award.

That's because one of the trophies went to two teachers this year, a couple named Yang Changqiang and Luo Hezhen.

They are teachers for Chengtian village primary school in Heshui town of Hunan province. Yang has taught for 28 years, and Luo has been the only female teacher in the village for 22 years since she married him.
