This is something worth highlighting. I got this article from Weird Asia News titled "World's Smallest School". 61-year old Li Yongchun has been teaching at a school in Dasu village in the Longjing region, some where in China for over 25 years. He was there when the school had more than 400 students up until the year 2,000 when the school was shutdown.

He is capable of teaching her Chinese, Mathematics, Korean, History, Geography and PE. Mr. Li will retire in another 6 months. It is also worth mentioning that the city education bureau will be sending another teacher to replace Mr. Li...
