大家好，欢迎回来MaoMi Chinese。我是莫莫老师。这是MaoMi Chinese 的第十一集： 只为贫困女孩儿开放的学校。贫困，意思是没有钱，很穷。
我们知道，在西方国家，有男校和女校。男校，是只为男孩儿开放的学校。女校，是只为女孩儿开放的学校。
在中国的云南丽江，也有一所只为女孩儿开放的学校，它叫华坪女高。 为什么只为女孩儿开放呢？因为华坪是一个很贫困的地方，而且很多人都“重男轻女”。“重男轻女”，意思是很多人觉得男孩儿重要，女孩儿不重要。他们觉得男孩儿比女孩儿重要。X 比 Y+adj，X is more……than Y。所以，在华坪，有很多女孩儿不能去上学。因为他们的家人要她们在家里工作，照顾弟弟妹妹。非常让人难过，对不对？
有一位叫“张桂梅”的女老师，为这些女孩儿办了一所学校。这些女孩儿的家都很贫困，因为“重男轻女”，这些女孩儿要在家里工作，照顾弟弟妹妹。在华坪，很多女孩儿辍学。辍学，意思是不上学了，不去学校了。但是在张桂梅的学校里，她们可以免费上学。免费，意思是不用钱。
在华坪，很多女孩儿辍学。辍学，意思是不上学了，不去学校了。但是在张桂梅的学校里，她们可以免费上学。免费，意思是不用钱。
在中国，上大学是一件很重要的事。如果你的家里很贫困，没有钱，只有上大学能让你过上好的生活。
所以，这些女孩儿学习非常非常努力。最后，他们很多人都能上大学。张桂梅说，希望她的学生能去更大的地方看一看，希望她们能改变命运。如果这些女孩儿以后当了妈妈，她们的孩子也会有更好的生活。
我们来听一听张桂梅是怎么说的：
我这辈子的价值，我救了一代人。不管它是多还是少，毕竟她们后边走得比我好，比我幸福，就足够了。
张桂梅说，只要她的学生们比她幸福，就足够了。X 比 Y+adj，X is more……than Y。我 比 你 高。他比我帅。张桂梅希望她的学生们比她幸福。
我觉得张桂梅是一个很伟大的人。她是一个伟大的老师，伟大的校长，伟大的女人，伟大的人。
你觉得呢？你对张桂梅开的学校怎么看？
Hello everyone! Welcome back to MaoMi Chinese. This is Teacher Momo. This is episode 11 - A school only open for poor Chinese girls.
We know that in western countries there are boys schools and girls schools. Boys schools are schools only open for boys. Girls schools are schools only open for girls.
In Lijiang Yunnan, China, there is also a school only open for girls. It is called Huaping NvGao. Why is it only open for girls? Because Huaping is a very deprived place, and there are lots of people “重男轻女”. It means that people think boys are important, but girls are not important. They think that boys are more important. X 比 Y+adj，X is more……than Y. Therefore, there are many girls who cannot go to school. Their family make them work at home and look after their younger siblings. It is really sad, isn’t it?
There is a female teacher called Zhang Guimei, and she established a school for those girls. Those girls are from deprived family and they have to work at home and look after their younger siblings due to the “重男轻女”idea.
In Huaping, there are lots of girls drop off school. But in Zhang’s school, they can go to school for free.
In China, going to the university is very important. If your family is deprived, with no money, only you going to the university can help you get a better life.
Therefore, these girls are studying really really hard. At the end, lots of them are able to go to universities. Zhang said that she hopes her students can go to some bigger place, and hopes that they can change their lives. If those girls become a mother one day, their children will have a better lives as well.
Let’s listen to what Zhang said:
The value of my life is that I saved a generation. No matter how many of them, as long as they can have a better and happier lives than I do, then it will be enough.
Zhang said, as long as her students will have a happier life than she does, it will be enough. X 比 Y+adj，X is more……than Y, for example, I am taller than you; he is more handsome than me. Zhang hopes that her students will have a happier life than she does.
I think Zhang is a great mighty person. She is a great teacher, a great headmaster, a great woman and a great person.
What do think about the school established by Zhang Guimei?
