To understand the education situation in past several decades of years, we had interview an old gentleman who used to work as a teacher for 35 years. He was retired from Cheng Guan School as the master, he used to be the one of the member of 1 st management of the school. According Mr. Chen's words, when the school just established, the schoolhouses were made by haystack, when getting cold outside, students always caught chilblain. Only 4 grades, No. 1 and No. 2 are mixed together. Later they had built some low bungalow as for schoolhouse, but still no heater inside the classroom, only can warm themselves by furnace, which always made the room full of smoke, the only way is blowing away those smokes by opened the window, and the students still need to get their lessons under the cold and cough.
In 2000 the 1 st building has been built. When talked about it, Mr. Chen was very exiting. From his part, he felt as happy as New Year to let his students get their lessons in a warm classroom. Now even Mr. Chen has retired, he still concerning about Cheng Guan's development, concerning about the student's study and living situation.
