Xiao Xia, an Air China flight attendant(空乘), has spent more than two months teaching English to primary school students in Jiangkou village in Guangxi. Full of passion at the beginning of her teaching, Xiao quickly found out some of the students didn't always follow her words. She shared her passion for her job with them and told them of her experiences as a flight attendant to make them interested and encourage them to learn. "Students are interested in my job and sometimes ask where I have been as a flight attendant. I tell them my work has taken me around the world," she said.
