Zhou was briefly transferred to teach at a school in the northern part of the island. The one-way trip from school to the place where she was living usually took three hours, but when she was caught in heavy rains one day, it took five.
"I felt extremely exhausted and cried for a long time that night," she said.
"When I was too tired, I would cry in bed to vent my feelings. But I never cried in front of the other team members. I was the team leader and had to be strong," she said.
No one expected Zhou to endure the hardship and finish the one-year term. However, she not only completed her tour of duty, but also won respect from the students and teachers.
