Determined to change this, she founded a free girls' high school in 2008 to give these girls a chance at education, allowing them to attend college and escape their circumstances. Despite starting with no teachers, students, funds, or experience, Zhang lead the teachers and students achieved the remarkable: every student, despite their initial academic struggles, successfully entered college.
