Mr. Yunxin Wu

Yunxin Wu Shaxi Village Service Coordinator Living with his wife and child in the small village of Shaxi, Yunxin spends his time helping his wife and mother run the household and working to provide quality education to village children in his local school. His passion for knowledge and his kind, positive manner make him a welcome addition to the Rustic Pathways China staff.

Mr. Wu has lived in this valley for many years and has become a leader in the community. He knows the villagers, his daughter attends the local primary school, and his family tends fields alongside the other community members. He will be your bridge into Shaxi and will help you understand life in the community and the challenges the village faces.

For more than a decade, Mr. Wu taught English at the local primary school, where he noticed that few students graduated and even fewer went on to study at a university. Most stayed to work in the fields or traveled to the big cities where they got menial jobs. He has a dream for a better future in Shaxi and hopes to inspire students to stay in school, study hard and aspire to attend a university.

We are proud to help Mr. Wu achieve this goal.
