How do you go to school? Do you take a bus or ride a bike? For many students, it is easy to get to school. But for some children in one small village in Hunan, it is very difficult. There is no road (路) between the village and the school. The children have to climb down ladders (爬下梯子) to get to school.
Yu Xinxin is an 8-year-old girl. She climbs the ladders every day. “My parents are good at it and they tell me how to do it, and now I don’t think too much about how high it is,” she says.
It is hard for the villagers to get in and out of the village, too. Their dream is to have a road.
