The class with one student

The lonely schoolgirl. In a class of her own. Always top of the class, but always bottom of the class at the same time. Certain to be the teacher's pet.

Liu Ying, 11 is the only grade five student at Liutang Primary School of Benxi city, Northeast China's Liaoning province.

It has been that way for 4 years since "a rival academy opened nearby."

She said:

It's not a bad life. I have seven teachers to myself. The only drawback is that you always have to know the answer to the teachers' questions. There's nobody to hide behind.
