Children look out from their classroom in a (truly) rural primary school in Min County, Gansu Province, China on June 1, 2011. The school, with five teachers and 102 students, is on a high mountain.

Faded chalk writing of chinese characters can be seen scribbled on the concrete sill. REUTERS photo.
