Li Baoguo was a university teacher in Hebei Province. He thought it wasn't enough to give lessons just in a classroom. Li spent his whole life helping poor farmers improve their agricultural（农业的） skills. People said that he was like “Yugong in the Taihang Mountains”.

 Li Baoguo did most of his important work in the Taihang Mountains. He heard that the farmers there were very poor and decided to help them. He thought that the farmers needed to change the empty, lifeless mountains around them into green land and grow crops（庄稼） and trees in the mountains.

 He helped them grow apple trees and other crops. He organised more than 800 training lessons and wrote simple books for them to read. After 1981, he spent more than 200 days every year planting trees and crops with the villagers. Thanks to him, this land now is covered with crops and the farmers can make a lot more money. Li worked hard in the countryside of Hebei Province for 35 years. He helped about 100,000 farmers to live better. In all those long years, he never complained（抱怨）about the working conditions in the mountains.

 In 2018, a film, The Taste of Apple, was made. It tells the story of Li Baoguo. Many farmers got help from Li. When some of these farmers watched it, they cried.

Students in different countries shared their experiences of labour education.

In primary school, a cooking class teaches simple and safe cooking ways. After we go to middle school, classes like food technology（工艺） and design technology let us learn cooking arts and design.At my school, design technology, starting from Grade 7, is my favourite. It allows students to try different materials and ways to make things like vases. Lily, 14, the UK

The UK's labour education pays attention to learning skills. Compared with it, ours focuses on volunteer activities. After school, our volunteer groups will do a lot of things. We often do some cleaning and help the lower-grade students and anyone else in need. We will also hold some charity（慈善） sales to raise money to help the students in poor areas.Among all the volunteer work, the charity sale is my favourite. Ian, 15, Singapore

We had been looking forward to that day for months. Early in the morning, together with Ms Yang, we rushed to our campus farm with excitement. Memories（回忆） of our hard work came across my mind — searching for information online, working with teachers and classmates, asking farmers for advice, preparing the soil, planting, watering...We couldn't wait to pick pumpkins（南瓜）. When it was my turn, I checked the colour first. Ms Yang told us the great pumpkins were bright orange. Then, carefully, I cut the stem of the chosen one with a knife. Holding a big one in my hand, I felt a strong sense of happiness. I grew vegetables by hand successfully! Seeing our smile, Ms Yang said to us, “Labour plays an important role in your lives. ____” From that day on, I understood the meaning of labour. Li Han, 15,
