At 9:19 on February 5, as the G1568 train arrived at Jinan West Railway Station, 67 Jinan teachers and students who were stranded in Changsha by the wind and snow went home smoothly after 24 hours of thousands of miles.
On the morning of February 4, 67 teachers and students from the High School Affiliated to Shandong University, who had completed a seven-day study, rushed to Changsha South Railway Station to prepare to return to Jinan by the high-speed rail of the day. However, due to the widespread rain, snow and freezing weather, the train was suspended or delayed in a large area. At the train station, the teachers noticed that the train timetable on the electronic screen was "red on the whole line", and the train number they took should have departed at 12:46, and it always showed "delay undecided". Dong Jingbin, the leader of the research team and deputy director of the Political and Educational Office of the High School Affiliated to Shandong University, and his colleagues asked the station staff many times, but they did not get the exact departure time. Dong Jingbin immediately reported the on-site situation to the school, and the school immediately activated the emergency plan and set up an "emergency response and dispatch team" to comprehensively study and judge and guide the research team in front to form the most secure plan. The journey home is full of uncertainties, and in order to ensure the safety and health of the students, the first thing is to ensure that the children are not cold, drink enough water, eat well, and maintain a relatively stable state of mind.
After lunch, all the teachers and students began a long wait at the train station. Among the 59 students, 55 have just entered the first year of junior high school, and they have traveled all over Yueyang, Xiangxi, Shaoshan and other places during the 7-day research trip. At dinner, the teacher led the students to eat in the railway staff cafeteria of Changsha South Railway Station, and prepared plenty of water, bread, braised eggs, ham sausages and other food for each student to prepare for the journey. The teacher of each group has a comprehensive understanding of the student's emotional state, and does a good job of reassuring and guiding them.
Sixty-seven teachers and students waited in the train station for nearly eight hours, and the students gradually became tired and anxious. Zhou Tong, the teacher who led the team, told reporters that in order to alleviate their emotions, they organized students to play the "Flying Flower Order Group Points Competition", and took out the local tourism cultural and creative products, Internet celebrity milk tea tea bags bought along the way as competition prizes, so that every student could participate in it, and the children had a lot of fun. Accompanied by poetry, the long wait is not boring, and the "embarrassing journey" of the sudden return journey has become joyful.
During the long wait, the students completed their research and writing tasks at the station with peace of mind, and read books and newspapers quietly. The members of the research team wore uniform hats and signs around their necks, which were mistaken for volunteers by some passengers, and these students became familiar with them when they walked around the station, so they simply temporarily "cameo" as guides to help passengers guide the way. Other students picked up cash in the station and handed it over to the police office on duty with their teachers.
At 21:40 on February 4, the good news came that the G1742 train was confirmed to depart. The students packed their luggage in an orderly manner, cleaned up all the garbage around them, and stood in line in an orderly manner under the organization of the teachers. At 22:05, the train finally departed from Changsha South Railway Station, and they had been waiting in the waiting hall for a full 11 hours.
During this period, in the face of emergencies, teachers and students in front of the school fully communicated with the school and parents, supported each other, reported information in the group in a timely manner, and uploaded the real-time status of the children, so that parents who were thousands of miles away could feel at ease.
In order to ensure the safety of the students on the high-speed train at night, the teachers in each carriage actively communicate with other passengers to gather the scattered children together. The teachers who lead the team take turns on duty at night to guard the students who are sleeping in the carriage. Affected by extreme weather, the train slowed down on the Wuhan-Hefei section at night and did not return to normal speed until it left Hefei Station at 4 a.m.
After the teachers estimated the time to reach Xuzhou East Railway Station, they urgently bought tickets, and at 8 o'clock in the morning of the 5th, they transferred from Xuzhou to return to Jinan. One hour later, the group of children walked out of Jinan West Railway Station and took a bus back to campus.
Experience is growth. Zhou Tong, the teacher who led the team, said that the return trip lasted for 24 hours, and a sudden rain and snow brought an unusual experience, which also allowed teachers and students to have a tacit understanding and growth. Since 2016, the school has organized such activities, using the holidays to visit literary and cultural resorts to broaden their horizons and cultivate their hobbies.
