In the misty Suoi Giang peak, where there are hundreds of years old tea trees that are the main source of livelihood for the Mong people, there is a special class of "teacher" Chu Thi Tu Lien. Although she is at the age of retirement, teacher Tu Lien has chosen to start a new journey - opening a special class, teaching English and life skills to children in Pang Cang village, Suoi Giang commune (Region 135). Not only teaching letters, she also instills in her young students a love and understanding of Shan Tuyet tea - the treasure of their homeland. In each lesson, Ms. Lien meticulously tells the children about the history of tea trees, about the unique tea culture of her people. She guides the children from how to care for the tea trees to grow healthily, to how to harvest and process them to preserve the quintessence of the mountains and forests. Teacher Lien's dream is simple: she hopes that the knowledge she learns today will become a solid foundation for the children in the future. In the future, you will be the ones to continue and develop the tea profession, turning your hometown's products into a sustainable source of livelihood, bringing stable income for yourself and your family, contributing to building your hometown Suoi Giang to become more and more prosperous.
