Editor's note. We are often touched by young people with noble spirits and strong convictions. With a fighting attitude, they interpret the connotation of youth. The teachers represented by Xu Benyu have been like a day for 20 years, and the torch of teaching has never been extinguishedHuo Shichang, a child who came out of a poor mountainous area, wrote the story of ordinary people's struggle with perseverance ......Youth, the new year is coming, don't wait for others to arrange your destiny, go and struggle!

In old age, people like to reminisce. Looking back on the past, carefully combing the ups and downs I have experienced, right and wrong, there must be relief, regret, helplessness, and many unsolvable mysteries ......For example, I couldn't have imagined that he, who had dealt with coal all his life, inadvertently walked into the famous writer Lu Yao's "Ordinary World" and became the prototype of Sun Shaoping.
His name is Huo Shichang.
Poverty is a ruthless monster that can starve people to death, or freeze to death. But poverty and suffering are also life experiences to be cherished. Huo Shichang said: Poverty is the driving force for him to forge ahead and a huge spiritual wealth
On October 19, 1943, Huo Shichang was born in Zhoujiadun Village, Wubao County, in a ravine at the junction of Suide, Jia County and Wubao County. The ravines here are vertical and horizontal, the land is barren and the people are poor, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and even the people and animals have to go to Gaojiazhuang two miles away to pick up donkeys and packs. Huo Shichang was born in a poor family in such a bitter place. The hunger that remains in Huo Shichang's childhood memories is cold!
responded to a line in "Red Lantern": "The children of the poor are in charge of the house early." Like all the boys in the area, Huo Shichang began to help his parents with some odd chores when he was six or seven years old. Go up the mountain with my sister to chop firewood and pull weeds in a ditch;Go with your parents to the field to plant seeds, make lumps, and hoe the groundWhen he was young, he and his friends in the village went to the mountains to herd sheep ......Hunger, poverty and disease forced Huo Shichang to drop out of school and return home without finishing secondary school. He had no choice but to become a farmer.
He was 17 years old.
Twice picking coal in Chazhen, two adventures. But God revealed to him in the dark: he wanted him to be associated with coal for the rest of his life. Huo Shichang said: "No, because I am unwilling, I will pursue and struggle." ”
In Huo Shichang's "Looking Back", there is an article "The Adventure of Picking Coal", and another article is "Farewell to the Mountain Village", both of which are written about his experience of picking coal in a cha town 25 miles away from the village.
Fork Town 5 days an episode.
Cha Town is the location of the township.
Whether his confusion and confusion were diluted or weakened in the market day, or whether his fate was changed by these two market days, his description of the market day is relaxed and cheerful. "Every market day, the two provinces of Shanxi and Shanxi rush to the market, full of streets and rivers in the town. Pigs, sheep-pullers, chicken-bearers, egg-pickers, grain buyers, charcoal sellers, all kinds of businessmen, craftsmen, and idle people flock to this place. Men carry blankets, women carry pockets, and the elderly and children mingle together, and the streets are full of flowers and greenery, and the streets are full of flowers and liveliness." (Looking Back at the Way Comes" in "Coal Picking Adventure").
Market Day, the Happy Festival of the Croppers!
It was an ordinary market day in June 1964. Huo Shichang went to Chazhen to catch the market this time, specifically to buy coal for his family. When he came home with 100 pounds of coal, he suddenly saw a group of people reading and talking about a notice posted on the wall. He stepped forward to take a look: it was "the enrollment advertisement of Yulin Agricultural School". This is a piece of good news from the sky.
Huo Shichang quickly ran to the township ** to sign up. After the written test and interview, he entered Yulin Agricultural School very smoothly. The pain of dropping out of school made him cherish this hard-won opportunity for further study.
In Yulin Agricultural School, Huo Shichang first joined the league and joined the party, and was an "outstanding league member" and "three good students" every semester, and was rated as a "model worker" twice, and was commended and rewarded by the school and Yulin area many times.
In 1964, Huo Shichang's "coal picking adventure" in Chazhen made his fate have an initial turn;In August 1970, when he returned to his hometown to become a farmer again, he still carried the same basket of coal that he had picked up back then, and also went to Chazhen to buy coal for his family, and watched a "Tongchuan Coal Mine Recruitment Advertisement" on the same wall, which made him a veritable coal miner from a farmer.
This astonishing ingenuity can't help but make people reverie: but God inadvertently revealed to him in the dark: the "heavenly opportunity" that must be associated with coal in this life and this life?
Huo Shichang said: "No. Because I am unwilling, I will pursue and struggle!”
Edison said, "Responsibility has the supreme value, it is a great character, and it is the highest of all values." "Responsibility is better than ability, which is the foundation of Huo Shichang's success and success. It's gold, put in ** are shining.
The township, county and Yulin area have given him many honors. However, being an industrial worker in the republic is too big for Huo Shichang. He smiled and refused the painstaking efforts of the villagers and county and township leaders, resolutely bid farewell to the mountain village, and threw himself into the Tongchuan coal mine.
Manually digging coal underground is probably the hardest industry of all the roadways. The miners were engaged in dirty, tiring and very dangerous heavy physical labor. Once, to deal with the "roofing" accident, Huo Shichang worked underground for 36 hours.
A coal mine is a machine that runs non-stop!
The miners do not see the sun at either end. There are only three things: monotonous labor, eating, and sleeping.
The coal mine produces continuously 24 hours a day, and the workers work in three shifts. Workers from rural areas suffer the most from 10 night shifts a month. I can't sleep for a few hours before going to work, and I'm too tired to do it;I woke up at 12 midnight and went to work, feeling even more tired and sleepy. In the early 70s of the 20th century, the production conditions of coal mines were backward, and the guns fell into coal, manually loaded coal, and piled and protected the roof all by manual labor. Sweaty overalls never dry out. When winter comes, the most worrying thing for miners is to change their clothes, take off their cotton clothes, and change into wet work clothes, how uncomfortable and uncomfortable it is.
This is the true description of coal miners in the 70s of the 20th century. However, Huo Shichang's letter to his parents said: "The labor intensity is smaller than that in the countryside, the 8-hour work system, 56 catties of rations per month, 58 yuan salary, and living the life of a city person!"”
Huo Shichang cherishes his job very much, and he is proud and proud to be an industrial worker in New China.
When a new worker enters the mine, he first learns from his master. In coal mines, the master is called "stubble length". At the beginning, Huo Shichang could only dig pillar nests, pick up coal, and help the master pull materials, and a month later began to learn to ** eyes, load explosives and cut the mouth to set up sheds, and after 3 months, he became a "stubble leader".
Huo Shichang has great strength and can endure hardships. In a high-yield organization, he set up 14 sheds by himself, worked 8 meters of working face with his assistants in one shift, produced 25 tons of coal, and created the best result in single crop production.
At this time, Huo Shichang was the most eye-catching "stubble length" of Jinhuashan Coal Mine Coal Mining Second Company.
Huo Shichang is a person with a sense of responsibility and can take responsibility. He said: "Hard work may not be successful, but if you want to succeed, you must work hard. Especially in the face of difficulties and challenges, his sense of responsibility enables him to persevere, and can burst out with greater courage to move from passive to active.
As early as 1984, Huo Shichang got acquainted with Lu Yao. Sun Shaoping in the third part of "Ordinary World" was Huo Shichang, the "stubble chief" at that time.
Because I am unwilling, I will pursue and struggle, and I must fight for my parents and win glory for the miners. Huo Shichang never dreamed that he would become the mine manager of Yakou Coal Mine and the director of the Shaanxi Provincial Coal Mining BureauI didn't expect that I could enter the writer Lu Yao's masterpiece "Ordinary World" and become the life prototype of "Sun Shaoping". Huo Shichang got acquainted with Lu Yao as early as 1984. At that time, Lu Yao's ** "Life" was adapted into a movie and became popular throughout the country. In 1985, Huo Shichang had just been transferred from Yakou Coal Mine to become the deputy director of the Mining Bureau, and Lu Yao contacted him again and lived in the mine. While experiencing life, I wrote "Ordinary World". In order to facilitate his work, the party committee of the mine appointed Lu Yao as the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Tongchuan Mining Bureau, and Huo Shichang took care of his food, housing, work and other affairs. At that time, Huo Shichang also ate and lived in the coal mine, and was next to Lu Yao in the guest house, and they often talked and laughed together. As a result, the life of coal miners and Huo Shichang's voice and smile will forever be alive in Lu Yao's "Ordinary World":
In the big world of coal mines, everyone has everything, and everything happens. In some ways, it is as strict as an army, and in others it is scattered and boundless. ......It's a peculiar survival tribe. The advanced and the backward, the civilized and the barbaric, the noble and the vulgar, the new and the old, all coexist and are intertwined.
Of course, the coal mine may seem more chaotic than anywhere else, but in reality it is difficult for any production unit to compare with its strict order. The general dispatch office of the Mining Bureau knows the labor of thousands of people under more than 20 mines in the whole world. The director himself can directly talk to the squad leader in a certain palm at any time. It's a big, cohesive web where even the smallest mistake can shake the whole picture. (Ordinary World, Part III, Chapter 17).
About Huo Shichang, Lu Yao once introduced me. However, they have never had the opportunity to meet. In the spring of 2008, they met at a press conference held in Xi'an for the large-scale TV film "Tracing Lu Yao's Footprints" and became friends.
I very much agree with Huo Shichang's evaluation of Lu Yao, he said: "Lu Yao is a spiritual giant who has suffered from poverty and suffering!He is gone, and his spirit lives on as a spokesman for the poor class such as peasants and miners. ”
He wrote in "Looking Back": "Lu Yao is my mentor and friend. His works have not only influenced contemporary Chinese people, but will also serve as a model for countless generations of ordinary people. (First acquaintance with Lu Yao).
Looking back, Huo Shichang walked into the queue of industrial workers in New China with the innate roughness, boldness and simplicity of a man from northern ShaanxiHe was full of loyalty to the country and the nation, and used his youth, life, blood and sweat to fulfill the sacred mission and great responsibility of an industrial worker.
Huo Shichang has been associated with coal all his life. Appreciate the viciousness of gas;Experience the love between comrades between life and death;Time and again, the life and death of comrades-in-arms, families, relatives and friends in the mining disaster have been ......
Huo Shichang and his comrades-in-arms excavated coal from the depths of the formation;History excavates talent from among them.
What should not be sunk will definitely be excavated by history.
Huo Shichang, a piece of glittering Ugin!
Peers are on the road of volunteering.
To Yidan. It's a story of passing on and passing it on. I met Xu Benyu when I hosted "Moving China", and I didn't expect that his story would continue like this. In the past 20 years, from Xu Benyu walking into the mountains of Guizhou alone, to passing on the torch from Huazhong Agricultural University, to the continuous dedication of batch after batch of "Benyu", the baton of "self-reliance" has been passed on one baton after another, and the volunteer sentiment of "giving roses to others, and having fragrance in your hands" has been passed on for a long time. One star lights up another, one soul awakens another, and more and more people walk on the path of volunteering.
Gather sand into a tower, confluence into a river. It is precisely because of them that the volunteer glimmer will shine with the dazzling light of the times.
The protagonists of the story are a group of young people with dreams and passions. Some of these lovely and respectable young people came from the city to the depths of the mountains with the expectation of "letting the children in the mountains see the world beyond the mountains".Some just want to "strive to bring a little glimmer of light to the children", and they have become the "caring mothers" of dozens of children without hesitation;Some just want to "do something meaningful to the best of their ability", so they have been volunteering for many years ......From them, we can perceive the truth, goodness and beauty of this world, we see the brilliance of human nature and the meaning of youth, and understand the true meaning of love.
This is the story of a group of volunteers, but also beliefs and feelings. Here, we can truly feel that the belief of "walking with the motherland and dedicating to the people" does not come out of thin air. Some of them start from small things and insist on doing small things, so that simple emotions can be sublimated;Some have grown from a recipient to a helper, allowing us to see the ...... of "love feeding".What's more, more and more college students are shouting "youth has me, and the country has me", bursting out with youthful enthusiasm in the new era, they have ideals in mind, down-to-earth, and use youth and sweat to sow hope and harvest growth.
If the younger generation has ideals and responsibilities, the country will have a future, the nation will have hope, and there will be a steady stream of powerful forces to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It is this great cause of national rejuvenation that inspires and inspires them, and at the same time, it also makes more young people feel glorious and empowered.
Yinuo, 20 years.
Remembering the graduate student support group of Huazhong Agricultural University.
Tian Yue. In 2022, "Playing with Science - Lighting up the Science Dream of Qianshan Baby" won the gold medal of the China Youth Volunteer Service Project Competition. When the news reached the depths of the mountains of Guizhou, the members of the graduate teaching team of Huazhong Agricultural University smiled with relief. This is a full affirmation of the continuous innovation and hard work of Xu Benyu, the annual figure of "Moving China", and his friends in the relay teaching in the past 20 years.
In 20 years, from Xu Benyu's initial one, to a relay teaching team of 210 people;From one primary school to four schools in Guizhou and Hubei provinces, they have crossed thousands of mountains and waded through thousands of rivers, and the torch of teaching has never been extinguished.
All this is just for the promise to the children in the mountains.
The mountains are silent, and the sunshine testifies.
I'll come back when I graduate. In the summer of 2002, the "Yandong" Primary School (the predecessor of Weimin Primary School) in Goujiaoyan Village, Maochang Town, Dafang County, Guizhou Province, looked at the reluctant eyes of the children, and Xu Benyu, who ended the summer teaching, made a commitment.
Soon, he gave up the opportunity to study at Huazhong Agricultural University and returned to the depths of the mountains alone.
In a poor environment without water, electricity and no network, Xu Benyu fulfilled his teaching mission with difficulty and perseverance. The children in the mountains can't understand Mandarin, and they talk about a question dozens of times, and it doesn't help if they are so tired that their voices are hoarse.
During the winter and summer vacations, Xu Benyu traveled around Wuhan, Guiyang and other places to raise donations and work for children to earn money.
In the most difficult time, he received strong support from his alma mater.
In 2005, Huazhong Agricultural University decided to recruit volunteers to take over the torch of Xu Benyu's teaching. Since then, more and more volunteers have participated in the relay and expanded their teaching support to four primary schools in Baili Rhododendron and Dafang County in Bijie City, Guizhou Province and Jianshi County in Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Hubei Province. 210 young people have successively relayed, lighting the unquenchable torch with youth and life, illuminating the hope of the mountain, and the blossoms are also brilliant and fragrant because of the volunteer teaching.
In the past 20 years, Weimin Primary School has long been moved out of the cave and has a teaching building, a student canteen and a teacher's dormitory. Now, like several other elementary schools, not only are the birds singing, but the playground is also paved with a new plastic track, and when it comes to recess, children rush downstairs to play. Principal Wang Ruiju, who witnessed the changes of the primary school, had tears in his eyes.
When I grow up, I'll be you.
On March 11, 2015, deep in the mountains of Guizhou in early spring, the cold wind was still strong.
On the playground of Goujiaoyan Weimin Primary School in Maochang Town, Dafang County, more than a dozen children eating lunch laughed and made noise, gathering around the fire to keep warm.
Kang Shengmei squatted among the children, smiling.
This scene is so familiar, she seems to see herself back then.
In 2002, Kang Shengmei was 11 years old, and her family could no longer afford her three sisters and brothers to study at the same time, so she had to go to Guiyang to work and sell stinky tofu. She weighs less than 60 pounds, and walks the streets and alleys with a burden of more than 30 pounds every day. How many nights did she think about going back to class.
In 2003, Xu Benyu gave up graduate school and climbed the Dog Hanging Rock to teach in Weimin Primary School. Kang Shengmei's father was overjoyed and immediately asked his daughter to return to school.
Xu Benyu made up lessons for Kang Shengmei almost every day, and gradually, Kang Shengmei had confidence in learning. At the end of that year, she was first in her class in math. A year later, Xu Benyu went to the more difficult Dashi Primary School to teach. On the day she left, Kang Shengmei and her classmates chased and cried until the teacher disappeared around the corner of the mountain road.
This farewell is 6 years. During this period, Kang Shengmei was admitted to junior high school with the first place in the village, and was admitted to Bijie National Middle School, a key high school. Every semester, she will receive 500 yuan in tuition, study materials and clothes from Xu Benyu.
In her junior year of high school, her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and Kang Shengmei felt that the sky was falling. She ran to the roof of the hospital, knelt on her knees, and cried and dialed Teacher Xu's **. Xu Benyu asked her to be strong in tears, and then sent another 1,000 yuan. Kang Shengmei remembered the teacher's words and took her mother to seek medical treatment while preparing for the exam.
Mother is still gone. The sensible Kang Shengmei wanted to give up school to work, but Xu Benyu asked her to insist. In the summer of 2011, Kang Shengmei was admitted to Wuhan Vocational and Technical College, and Xu Benyu took out another 5,000 yuan as tuition. Kang Shengmei was grateful, and during her study in Wuhan, she took the initiative to join the "Benyu Volunteer Service Team" and went to blind schools and welfare homes to volunteer on weekends. In 2014, after graduating from Kang Shengmei University, he quietly returned to Dashan, Guizhou, and took over the teaching whip at Weimin Primary School, where Xu Benyu first taught.
Like Mr. Ben Yu, the children I teach are also college students!On July 12, 2022, Kang Shengmei returned to Weimin Primary School to reunite with the students of that year. This year, four of the 16 students she taught were admitted to college.
I will keep my covenant for you.
As long as you are admitted to university, I will definitely come back!In July 2012, Liu Xiaoqing, a volunteer of the 6th Teaching Support Group, said goodbye to students Huang Jie and Luo Yihan, and agreed to meet in 10 years. On July 11, 2022, Liu Xiaoqing kept his 10-year appointment and rushed to the Yuyu Hope Primary School in Qinshan with his daughter, where teachers and students hugged each other and cried. Huang Jie is now attending university in Guizhou, and Luo Yihan was admitted to the civil service after graduating from university. "When I was a child, I felt that parting was a lifelong thing, and I had to go to university desperately, but I really didn't expect Mr. Liu to come!Luo Yihan shed tears of excitement.
A one-year trip to Guizhou, a lifetime of teaching. In fact, in the hearts of volunteer volunteers, thoughts and worries are always there. Every year, there are volunteers from the past who quietly go back and cross the mountains just for those few hours together.
Under their continuous care and attention, in the past 20 years, they have walked out of a class of graduates from Huanong Dashi Hope Primary School, Benyu Hope Primary School, and Weimin Primary School, and entered the township junior high school and Bijie City Key High School, and walked towards the ideal university.
Come on!On December 20, 2022, during the sprint stage of the graduate examination, Ding Jie, a volunteer teaching volunteer, gave Xie Weiwei encouragement to Xie Weiwei, a student who came out of Huanong Dashi Hope Primary School.
Watching them grow and become talented people was the happiest time of my life. Ding Jie said.
There are too many college students brought out by volunteer teachers, especially in the past few years, there are more than 20 in our primary school alone. Wang Chengfan, principal of Huanong Dashi Hope Primary School, said with emotion.
Parting, let's not cry, okay.
Through the car window, take another look at the Wumeng Mountain. Behind them, the children ran after the car. The wind blew up, and those figures grew farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, turning a corner, until they disappeared.
Tears suddenly burst out of Yang Zixuan's eyes.
July 7, 2021 is an unforgettable day for Yang Zixuan, a volunteer of the graduate student teaching group of Huazhong Agricultural University. She has been teaching for a year at Goujiaoyan Weimin Primary School in Maochang Town, Dafang County, Guizhou Province, and she has long been inseparable from the children here.
Teacher, I don't even dare to look at you when you're gone. ”
Teacher, can we save points together to redeem for you to stay?”
The children's words echoed in Yang Zixuan's ears over and over again, and she seemed to see the children of Class 6 (1) smiling and rushing towards her again: "cold" but sensible Yang Xiaoyi, Yang Guanghui, who looks like a big sister and has a girl's heart, "little talker" Wu Chunting, shy "long legs" Guo Dongze, Yang Yanqin, who loves to read, and Sha Zhengyue, who is the most likely to make her angry and concerned, ......
Teacher, you have to remember me. From leaving the classroom to getting in the car and leaving, Sha Zhengyue's mobile phone kept shooting at Yang Zixuan.
How can you forget?In the tears, Yang Zixuan remembered the first time she sang the Yi song "Ajlu" with the choir, and the children were afraid to speak, remembering the various hurriedness when performing "Left Hand Right Hand". After a year, that confidence finally slowly rippled out from the children's faces and hearts, from the happiness of "You Look Good When You Laugh", to the expectation of "Tomorrow Will Be Better", and then to the sonorous sound of "Red Star Twinkle", the child's voice was loud and echoed in the valley for a long time.
Yang Zixuan's heart stayed in this small mountain village called Goujiaoyan.
Like Yang Zixuan, in the past 20 years, every volunteer has experienced parting, they come here with hope and leave with reluctance. In their hearts, from now on, it is a lifelong concern for this land.
The metamorphosis from actor to volunteer.
On May 5, 2014, a large-scale original drama "Concern" starring students from Huazhong Agricultural University appeared on the stage of the National Center for the Performing Arts. "Concern" takes the rural teaching of college students of Huazhong Agricultural University as the main line, and vividly reproduces the touching deeds of the graduate student teaching group. Sun Wei, Chen Li, and Sun Xiao were deeply moved and applied for teaching. In the autumn of 2015, they worked with their peers to complete the transformation from students, actors to volunteer teachers.
In 2013, Sun Wei was admitted to the crew of "Concern" of Huazhong Agricultural University as he wished, not only starring, but also serving as the main creator of all the lyrics and songs.
The creation is very hard, and he has no teaching experience, so he can only try to feel the feelings of teaching a little bit with a sensitive heart, "shedding his own tears in other people's stories".
But he always felt unsteady about this touch. So, through strict selection, he went to Huanong Dashi Hope Primary School in the depths of the mountains of Guizhou to teach.
On July 23, 2016, CCTV's "Avenue of Stars", Sun Wei was invited to appear on the stage with more than a dozen students in the mountains of Guizhou. For the children in the mountains, he sang emotionally, tears wetting his eyes.
Sun Wei, who is emotional, is deeply in love here.
Today is the last day of classes for the children, I don't know, they don't know. Writing this sentence, Chen Li said to herself, it's over.
In "Concern", she is "Sister Xiang", a rural girl who dreams of becoming a substitute teacher. In reality, she is a happy lark, and she has no hesitation to give up Baoyan. When she first arrived in Guizhou, Ben Yu hoped that her cheerful singing could be heard everywhere in the primary school.
This serious Shandong girl chose to be strong and persistent. She said that gathering and dispersing are all heart-wrenching performances.
At the end of July 2016, Sun Xiao, who had just finished teaching, returned to Dashan, Guizhou.
Sun Xiao is the male number one "Zhang Fuyu" in "Concern", and "Zhang Fuyu" represents Xu Benyu, the person of the year who moved China in 2004, Zhao Fubing, who dedicated himself to teaching, and Zhang Yu, who sacrificed himself to save others. He said that teaching is not about acting on the stage, but about really going into the mountains. Therefore, he chose the most difficult place among the four volunteer schools - Goujiaoyan Weimin Primary School in Maochang Town, Guizhou. Here, the road is impassable, the signal is poor, and every time you contact the outside world, you have to hold your mobile phone everywhere to find a signal.
He talks about all kinds of new things and cutting-edge technology, hoping to broaden the children's horizonsCombining agricultural support with teaching support is his constant attempt. He believes that only by changing the mountains can children have a future.
20 years of relay, not dishonoring the mission.
On the morning of July 1, 2021, in the multi** classroom of Huanong Dashi Hope Primary School, children watched the live broadcast of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. At that time, there were no mobile phones and TV signals, so the children could only sit in the tents, listen to Xu Benyu's narration, and imagine the excitement of the outside world.
In the past 20 years, the mountains and towns have changed dramatically.
In the past 20 years, the sun has warmed in a window, and the original intention is still there. The 210 volunteer teachers kept their mission in mind, bravely assumed the responsibility of teaching and educating people, cultivated the feelings of family and country among students, strengthened their ideals and beliefs, and promoted rural revitalization.
On cold nights, guests come to tea as wine, and the bamboo stove soup is boiling red. In the fall of 2017, several former volunteer teachers gathered on campus. The autumn breeze is gradually rising, the night talk around the fireplace, the down-to-earth persistence, the growth with laughter and tears, the dreams that are slowly realized, and the warmth lingers in the room.
In the memory of volunteer Cao Jianqiang, the years of teaching were the years when he ate the most potatoes, walked the most mountain roads, saw the least sun, and did not take a bath for the longest time, but it was also the year with the most smiles.
Ge Jun, who now lives in Beijing, said they too had frustrations and even thought about giving up. But the love and responsibility in their hearts, and the powerful power of their alma mater behind them, have supported them all the way.
Zhang Yongjun, who used to be the secretary of the Youth League Committee of Huazhong Agricultural University, said that teaching is a practice. Plant the seeds of love and hope to take root, sprout, blossom, and bear fruit in the hearts of children.
Since 2011, I have heard the sound of flowers blooming. Since Kang Shengmei, more and more children have walked out of the mountains, fulfilled their college dreams, and started a new life.
For the past 20 years, these volunteers have played such a role. Under the leadership of the party building, the graduate student support group has become an important force to give full play to the advantages of resources and help rural revitalization.
In August 2023, the volunteers of the 19th Graduate Education Support Group of Huazhong Agricultural University went to the mountainous areas of Guizhou and Hubei again. On the muddy and steep mountain road, groups of outstanding students spread the flame of love again, turning moving into action, and their volunteer spirit has become a banner that inspires and leads young people.
When you make a promise, it is a lifetime. I believe that the story of the graduate student support group of Huazhong Agricultural University will not end, and it will always shine, radiate heat, and dedicate love. This touching and warmth will continue.
Because, they are volunteers.
They heard the sound of flowers blooming.
