Yang Weiyun is 73 years old. She comes from Huainan city of Anhui province and has much experience in teaching. She had been a Chinese teacher in a school for 30 years and a kindergarten head for another 20 years.

After she retired(退休), Yang still wanted to do something meaningful. She got the idea of continuing her teaching through livestreaming(直播) online. Yang started in May 2021 and offered free pinyin lessons to kindergarten students. However, she gradually learnt there are a lot of adults who can neither read nor write.

Yang said she found that many illiterate adults are afraid to go to new places. They also worried that they couldn’t teach their children or read their boss’s instructions(老板的指示). “Many illiterate adults didn’t have the chance to go to school when they were young. Now they really need to learn to read and write. So I wanted to give them a new starting point,” Yang said.

Most of Yang’s adult students are busy at work. They have to make the time to learn the lessons, so Yang holds two livestream lessons every day, starting at 8:30 am and 8:30 pm. Yang’s livesteam lessons offer an easy way for those adults who want to learn to read and write. Now she has nearly 300,000 followers on Douyin. Yang tried her best to find the best ways to help the students learn and remember better. Her biggest wish now is to see these students graduate from her classes.
