Meet Li Bolin, a rural educator in China who’s turning farm fields into poetry playgrounds! For six years, Li has guided her students to write over 1,000 poems by swapping chalkboards for sunlit landscapes. Her \"Field Poetry Class\" lets kids explore creativity through nature—think cloud-inspired haikus or dirt-between-toes storytelling.
Why it matters: Many of Li’s students grow up in mountainous regions with limited access to arts education. By bringing lessons outdoors, she’s helping them find their voices—and their work is now reaching global audiences online! One student wrote, \"The wind whispers secrets; my pen dances with the rice stalks.\"
The bigger picture: Li’s approach highlights how unconventional teaching can bridge education gaps. Her story has gone viral in China, inspiring other teachers to blend tradition with innovation. As Li says: \"Poetry isn’t just words—it’s the heartbeat of our world.\"
