Last weekend, it was the 2024 Graduate Admissions Exam Day. Many senior students from the School of Automation of Hangzhou Dianzi University took the exam at the Xiasha campus.
On Saturdays and Sundays, when entering and exiting the examination room, it is always reassuring to see that familiar and warm figure. Zhang Haojia, a graduate student of the School of Automation, said that "Brother Hong" stood there in the cold winter, just like family.
"Brother Hong" in his mouth. It is their counselor Zhang Weihong of Hangzhou Electric Automation College, in Hangzhou Electric College, he also has a more resounding name - the "counselor who took his daughter-in-law Tiannan Haibei to visit his home".

With his daughter-in-law, Tiannan Haibei went to visit his home.
This summer, Zhang Weihong's "car" history hit a new high in the same period of mileage. Traces of mobile phone navigation show that he went to Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei, Heilongjiang, Anhui, Jiangsu and other places, and all of them are specific places that are not widely known.
At that time, Mr. Zhang Weihong went out to visit his home again, and it was said that he traveled thousands of miles. Wu Hanling, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Hangzhou Electric Institute of Automation, explained.
Home visits are common for primary and secondary school students. For college counselors, it is not easy to communicate with students' parents frequently because of the large number of students they bring, let alone cross-regional face-to-face home visits.
From Harbin in the north to Qujing in Yunnan Province in the south, Zhang Weihong used the holidays to visit his home whenever he was free. Today's college students are more diverse and complex, "some students encounter life adjustment problems, and some students encounter academic problems, and they need to better understand the students' growth experience so that they can work together to solve the problems," Zhang Weihong said.
Zhang Weihong visits home.
A high school homeroom teacher of a Yunnan student was particularly surprised when he met Zhang Weihong in person. "This student did well in the college entrance examination, which is my pride, but we are a boarding high school, and we are strictly controlled, and if there is less strict management in college, his studies will inevitably decline, and I thought that the university teacher would come to me, a high school teacher, to find a way together. The high school homeroom teacher said.
At present, Zhang Weihong has visited more than 50 families in more than a dozen provinces during the winter and summer vacations. Sometimes, he also brought his daughter-in-law to visit his home with him, Mr. Zhang's teacher Lu is the head teacher of a middle school in Hangzhou, Mr. Lu told reporters with a smile: "The two of us don't have any special hobbies, Wei Hong went out to visit the home, we drove directly, and exchanged students' work experience along the way." ”
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Weihong gave the parents of the students a cake.
There's nothing you can't do by coming to the house for a meal. ”
"Trekking through mountains and rivers" across most of China to visit his home, Zhang Weihong has a process of "looking, chatting, and thinking". For example, in remote rural areas, when looking at the family background and the expressions of parents when they talk about their children, they think of their children's performance, life and learning in school. In chatting with parents or grandparents, Zhang Weihong tries to understand the children's growth footprints and find the shining points in them so that they can be reawakened or strengthened when they arrive at school.
Every child's situation in college is basically a continuation of the seeds planted in their childhood, both good and bad. Zhang Weihong sighed.
Visiting students' homes doesn't seem to be a cost-effective way to work for students, but Zhang Weihong thinks it's worth it. "Some students, because of lack of self-discipline in college and lead to failure, or because of playing games and make their lives bad, go to their families to see, you can find a way with your parents, or change your thinking in student work, in the end, most of the results are very good, sometimes it can really change their lives. Zhang Weihong said that there are several principles for his home visits: first, "if you don't let students know, you won't let them know, because some students are more sensitive and wary";The second is "not to bring a financial burden to the family, when you are eating at home, you will leave after chatting for half an hour, and you will not eat at home";Third, after returning, they should write home visit notes, conduct case studies, and try to improve the work for specific students.
In fact, Mr. Zhang Weihong visited his home from all over the world, and it can be seen that he is a "person who regards work as life". Chai Zhuorui, a student from Ningxia, said: "Many people in our class have been to Mr. Zhang's house for dinner, which is very kind and casual, and Mr. Zhang's family treats us as family. ”
Zhang Weihong and the students.
My lover is also a teacher, we support each other's work, often talk about how to do student work, my parents are also very understanding and supportive, for a period of time students do not come to eat, and my family also asks me why I don't call students. My classmates and I cook together, I cook red sour soup and grilled fish for them, clean up together after eating, mop the floor together, and talk about everything in the process, which can increase the students' trust in me. Student work shouldn't just be in my office, where students are easily constrained and reluctant to speak. Teacher Zhang Weihong told reporters that there is nothing that cannot be solved by coming to my house for a meal.
"Brother Hong" who was needed
After graduating from Harbin Normal University with a master's degree in ideological and political education, Zhang Weihong came to work in Hangzhou Electric Power, and he was of medium stature, "gentle and powerful", and the students called him "Brother Hong".
Because of the imbalance in the level of basic education in the places where students come from, some students face academic difficulties and fail their courses. Seeing the anxiety caused by academic difficulties, Zhang Weihong was more anxious than anyone else. He organized "academic support groups" among his classmates, as well as various basketball and swimming groups, where everyone helped each other, for example, students who were poor in school could help other students improve their skills if they were good at basketball.
One student said: "Brother Hong organized a mutual aid group and asked me to tutor students who failed their courses, and students with intermediate grades were my assistants, and I could also help them improve their studies." ”
There are several hundred seniors at the Hangzhou Electric Institute of Automation led by Zhang Weihong. Some students ridiculed that Mr. Zhang Weihong was familiar with every student, and he knew which student had lost weight and gained weight.
Once a classmate was absent from class because of emotional problems, Zhang Weihong tried to find a way to no avail, contacted his parents, and everyone worked together to find a way. Later, this student successfully got through the emotional difficulties, and then remembered to thank Mr. Zhang: "Hundreds of students, all academic problems, emotional problems, Mr. Zhang is trying to find a way, he is really concerned." ”
The mobile phone is turned on 24 hours a day, and students can contact him at any time, even if it is late at night. Some parents called Teacher Zhang, and even cried for 2 hours, but he patiently chatted and comforted. Many teachers in Hangzhou Electric said: "The one who takes the initiative to greet the teacher on the road and is polite is likely to be Zhang Weihong's student."
Not to talk about dedication, I just love student work, I have been learning ideology and politics since I was an undergraduate, this is my own choice of career, the happiness I get from student work, incomparable, I want to thank my students!Zhang Weihong said that the biggest motivation for his work is that "my classmates call me 'Brother Hong'", being needed, trusted by students and parents, and the students inadvertently said, "Brother Hong must be right, you have to listen", so that she is full of warmth, "Students treat me like a brother or a parent, I can't let them down!."”
