There is a 13-year-old girl from a poor family, but she loves to read. I am in junior high school.
One day she wrote in her diary:
My cousin got married and put on a white wedding dress, wow, it's so beautiful!My sister became a bride, when will I be a bride!”
After reading the girl's diary, the teacher smiled and wrote: "You are the most beautiful and hard-working child in the class, and you will definitely wear the most beautiful wedding money in the future and become the most beautiful bride in the world." ”
On weekdays, I will also pay special attention to this girl.
Five years later, this girl with a dream was admitted to a major university.
To the teacher's surprise, she kept her 13-year-old diary and the teacher's comments.
She wrote in a letter to her teacher:
Thank you, teacher, you have lit up my future!Your diary comments have always encouraged me. ”
In the early seventies, I was a student at the county middle school.
Every day, I rode an old water hose bicycle into the school, and at noon I brought my own corn nest and salted radish strips, so that the school steamed it and counted it as lunch.
Later, a petroleum geological exploration team rented several empty houses in the school.
By then, the college entrance examination had been cancelled.
I often look at the sunset in the school**. I am full of uncertainty about the future after graduation.
Suddenly, one day, a group of young geologists came to the school. They are carefree, singing, running, playing basketball and badminton on the playground. Joy and no worries.
Among them were many young and beautiful girls, wearing short yellow or pink shirts, skirts that swayed in the wind, and fashionable leather sandals.
Their food is very good, and you can smell the smell of food wafting from the room.
Not far from the entrance of the house, there was a pond with reeds, and by the pond was a basket of broken egg skins and animal bones discarded by the housekeepers.
This is really a great ** for me, a rural child. Because, I don't eat scrambled eggs a few times a year. Not to mention eating meat.
There are also girls laughing and playing badminton, which is undoubtedly a kind of torture for me as an adolescent.
Every day, as I pass by their doors, my heart trembles violently!
When will I have a life like this?When will I meet these beautiful girls...
After graduating, he returned to the village to work as a farmer, driving ox carts, producing pig dung, digging rivers, and digging adobe
Taste all the ups and downs.
But I always had a dream, I want to have a better life, I want to change my situation, I want to...
During his farming years, he was once recommended for university, but was replaced. Later, he came to the contemporary class to teach Shun.
Three years later, the college entrance examination system was restored, and I was finally admitted to the English Normal School after several setbacks.
Knowledge changed my destiny.
Mr. Liu Bei'an is a well-known scholar, his study is full of books, and his children have grown up to be leaders in the art and education circles, and they are all book lovers.
He told his friends to buy a lot of books and put them on the ground for the children to read. The children turned over the books in a mess and threw them all over the house. Mr. Liu didn't say a word and cleaned up for them. After a while, I bought a batch of new books and let them flip through them.
He never forced them, nor did he reproach them. However, the children saw that Mr. Liu read with relish, and the room full of books was within reach, and slowly, the children developed the Xi of loving reading.
Some people say that the essence of education is not to fill the basket, but to light the lamp.
The purpose of lighting is not only to open a closed field of vision and see the world farther away, but also to touch the potential of the heart and release the infinite power of the self.
Lighting may not directly change their lives and destinies, but their potentials and dreams have undoubtedly been touched and impacted. Bringing them more possibilities in life.
Principal Zhang Guimei's educational philosophy is worth pondering. Her educational philosophy is to let children get out of the poverty, backwardness, and ignorance of the mountainous areas, and to get in touch with the wider world. Use knowledge to change the destiny of themselves and future generations.
Walking out of the mountains is a torch of hope. In the past few decades, she has lit up the hearts of 2,000 girls, walked out of the mountains with torches, and completely bid farewell to the bad Xi cycle of raising pigs, chopping wood, and giving birth to babies in her teens.
The little girl's heart that yearns for beauty may be lit up instantly the moment he gets the teacher's approval.
And I can honestly say that my ambition is to see the moment when the young geology team members go about their daily lives, and the moment is instantly lit up.
Mr. Liu Bei'an consciously and imperceptibly illuminates the future of the children.
Around 1970, a reservoir collapse disaster occurred in Henan. Many villages were submerged, and local people lost their homes and slept on hunger.
At such a moment, there is a teenager who has a very important time in his life, looking up at the starry sky.
On that unquiet night, the boy and the troubled villagers looked up at the starry sky together. Someone pointed and said:
Look!That's the Big Dipper, that's the Cowherd and Vega, that's...”
Suddenly, the boy saw a small shining star passing through the night.
It was not a meteor, but China's first artificial satellite, Dongfanghong 1.
At that time, the naïve boy was full of curiosity, will it hit the stars in the sky?
Later, he learned from books that artificial satellites were very far away from him, and some distances could be calculated in light years.
The act of looking up at the starry sky aroused the young boy's strong curiosity and dreams. Let him yearn for the vast starry sky infinitely.
After that, he began to read a lot of science fiction books. This person is today, a few years later, the writer Liu Cixin, who is known as the "leader of science fiction".
His curiosity about the universe has made him one of the finest contemporary Chinese science fiction writers. His works such as "Three-Body Problem 1" and "The Wandering Earth" have become bestsellers especially loved by teenagers.
Indeed, school education plays a vital role in a person's growth, and the school cultivates their ability to write and read, analyze and think, and think computationally.
But the direction of their lives, the formation of their minds and aspirations, is by no means done solely by classwork and exams. Some external, even accidental, factors sometimes play a crucial role.
The appearance of the geological team members told me about a world that I didn't know before, and gave me a new impulse and awakening in my heart.
These changes seem to have nothing to do with classroom education. This was my special moment, the beginning of a great change in my heart. Maybe to others, they either turn a blind eye or are indifferent. At that moment, the fire in my heart was ignited.
Liu Cixin's experience of looking up at the starry sky by chance gave him the desire to explore the starry sky and lit up the future of a science fiction writer.
I have been a teacher for many years, and I often think about what is real education
The ironclad reality is that teachers have been wandering for years and months in the dream of how to "wake up" students and "wake up parents".
The school has also assigned a lot of content that is not related to education, which makes teachers physically and mentally exhausted. Even the tragedy of jumping off a building happens from time to time. There are a lot of big problems in education. Gone astray, gone wrong!
In the face of reality, they (she) voluntarily or involuntarily walked into the army of "indoctrination", struggling with scores and assessments. Painstakingly preparing for homework questions.
Grades make teachers competitors on the podium and students slaves to the sea of questions.
Even the famous Hengshui Middle School, its education and teaching methods are nothing more than strict training and management systems, coupled with endless sea tactics.
In China, no education can get rid of this educational magic net...
What is a good education?
I think that an education that inspires and awakens inspiration is a good education. Instead of making students spend more than ten hours a day, being slaves to books and questions.
Excellent education awakens the sleeping soul and illuminates the dim mind.
Awakened people are like a torch, and lighting them is like a spark that can start a prairie fire.
I worship light-up education.
Lighting up is not just burning oneself and lighting up others, but moving forward and growing together with others.
