"Foreign Principal" Jilin has been teaching for 2 years: China's "Generation Z" is full of hope. John Richard Humphreys is currently the Academic Principal of the International Curriculum Center for Secondary Schools affiliated to Northeast Normal University.

He came to China by chance, chose to stay here because of the charm of China, and he lived here for 11 years. Humphreys said Chinese children are the hardest working compared to students from different countries he has taught. In his spare time, he enjoys learning Chinese calligraphy with Chinese teachers.
