Abstract
This writing is inspired by a party of more than 70 headmasters of schools for rural migrant workers. When they first invited me to the party, I declined because I was away on a business trip. They postponed that party for me and waited until I returned to Beijing. The party, simple and warm, was hosted in a spacious classroom of Minzu University of China. Old friends were cordial and new acquaintances hit it off. In the mid and late 1990s, I hosted parties for these persons several times and invited professors from normal universities to lecture on school administration.
This article was published in Zhongguo fazhan guancha (China Development Observation), 2005 (10) with the original title Schools for Children of Migrant Workers in Stubborn Survival and Tough Development.
