Distant memories of an unforgettable lesson

Mondo Education Updated on 2024-01-19

When I just went to the second grade of primary school, the original substitute private teacher left, and then a teacher Chen who had just come from Shanghai became our homeroom teacher, fortunately, although she spoke Shanghai Mandarin, the students could still understand, and the interesting thing is that this female teacher could understand our local indigenous dialect, so that the students were interested in her class.

During the period when Teacher Chen was the class teacher, at that time, she led us to watch a movie "Sentinel under the Red Light", and when she talked about the background of Huangpu Park in the text, she said that as a Shanghainese, she was very familiar with this place, and she often heard parents say that before liberation, it was called Wanguo Park, when the Bund and the banks of the Huangpu River were full of foreign concessions, and this park and many places were hung with Chinese and English notices that insulted us Chinese: Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter!Talking, talking, this teacher, who was praised as a great beauty by teachers and students, was choked up and speechless because of the touching of the scene, tears came out of his eyes, infecting everyone's entire classroom crying, in order to break this embarrassing scene, I suddenly raised my hand to ask the teacher: What does it mean that those people in suits in the movie say yes to their compatriots?This question immediately aroused the strong interest of Ms. Chen, she said: This is the old Shanghai due to the influence of overseas fashion, since kindergarten has the tradition of learning foreign languages, some learn Lingge style English, some learn American English, mainly the pronunciation is different, many people know and can speak foreign daily language. The word I just said is the English meaning of "please speak, speak", just like hello, hello!OK, yes, okay!Bye, goodbye!Listening to the gushing explanation of our beautiful homeroom teacher, we all forgot the bell for the end of class until she finished telling the anecdote about the big world of Shanghai.

This Chinese class was deeply left in my memory, so that later, when I joined the army and returned from visiting relatives, I made a special trip to visit her and her husband Tang, who had been promoted to professor, and her daughter also became an excellent student who was very good at reading. , She told me very excitedly: I saw the heroine Yang Chunxia, I went to elementary school in Shanghai, she and I were not only young but also friends at the same table, until now we still keep in touch, I didn't expect a play to make her popular all over the country. Therefore, as a student, she repeatedly told me that no matter what profession a person is engaged in, only by devoting himself wholeheartedly can he be recognized by society, achieve himself, and make a difference. The teacher's short words make me remember them to this day, and I will never forget them.
