The man, known to his students as Benlong, came to China from the United States in 2001 and has worked in many cities since. He became a teacher at an English training institution in Hefei and spends one day a week giving free English classes to students in a suburban school of the city. "Children in our school have never seen white-skinned foreigners, and Benlong has broadened their vision and is good for their English studies," said the headmaster. [Photo/Xinhua]
