Sixty years have passed, and Mr. Zhang Xiurong's 60th birthday banquet was held in a hotel in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Her students came from all over the world, making the banquet lively and full of laughter.
Although they have all grown up** and have their own jobs and families, Mr. Zhang can still see their liveliness and wit when they were children from their expressions. This banquet is not only a blessing to Mr. Zhang, but also their deep nostalgia for the past time.
At Teacher Zhang Xiurong's birthday party, she received a ** that made her very happy, and it was Chen Zhide, a student she was most impressed with. Chen Zhide couldn't arrive at the scene because of temporary matters, but he specially prepared a big gift for Teacher Zhang, and also prepared a surprise for her.
The surprise was a cash payment of 100,000 yuan, which Chen Zhide hoped to use to buy a house for Mr. Zhang. Zhang Xiurong was deeply moved by this gift, and at the same time a little surprised.
She deeply understands how precious the kindness of her student days is, so she decides to use the money to do something more meaningful.

In this era when reform and opening up have not yet begun, the land of China is still in difficulty, not to mention Inner Mongolia, which is located in the remote inland area. Zhang Xiurong's hometown, Wuchuan County, once became a well-known poor county because of its mountainous terrain and extremely backward industry and agriculture.
After stepping out of the school gate and seeing the prosperous world outside, Zhang Xiurong is determined to let the children in his hometown get out of poverty, enrich their hearts with knowledge, arm themselves with knowledge, and contribute to the poverty alleviation of his hometown, and even contribute to the construction of the motherland.
So, Zhang Xiurong, who had mastered the skills of teaching and educating people, returned to that place where the land and ideas were very barren with this ordinary but great ideal.
In the first five years of teaching practice, Zhang Xiurong accumulated rich practical experience.
In September 1978, with the spring breeze of reform and opening up, the first primary school of Wuchuan County adjusted and optimized the teaching team in the new school year. Zhang Xiurong took on a new challenge as a mathematics teacher in the second grade and as the homeroom teacher of the second (3) class of the junior high school.
The children usually respect and fear the class teacher, but the seemingly serious class teacher in front of them is also full of tension and anxiety, and she is afraid that she will not be able to win the children's love and contribute to their growth.
Chen Zhide, a boy with too many patches on his clothes, made a deep impression on the young teacher Zhang Xiurong by his self-introduction. In those days, when children were not covered by all the burdens, the students had to walk long mountain roads to school every day and help with household chores at night.
Looking at these immature students, the flame of ideals in Zhang Xiurong's heart became more vigorous, but he was also more nervous. She cherished them so much that in the first class of school, she asked the children to introduce themselves.
Although the children are good brothers and sisters in private, on such an occasion, they seem very shy, say their names with a red face, and then sit back with a cower.
In order to provide a better learning environment for the children, Zhang Xiurong always stays in the classroom after school with those children who want to consolidate their homework, reorganizes difficult knowledge points, and answers their questions one by one.
This gentle and caring young female teacher has won the love of many children with her flexible teaching methods and meticulous care for her students' extracurricular life.
She worked tirelessly to persuade students who wanted to drop out of school, and succeeded in retaining them. At the end of the school year, the children hurried to enjoy the last holiday before the high school entrance examination.
The new semester began, and on the first day of school, Zhang Xiurong counted the number of people in the class as usual. At this time, there was an accident, counting and counting, why is there one person missing?
Zhang Xiurong had to take out the roll call list and check it carefully, only to find that Chen Zhide, who was always dangling in front of him with patches, was gone. "Does anyone know that Chen Zhide has gone to **? ”
She asked in the class, and she was greeted by a shake of her head. She nodded helplessly, planning to make a home visit on the weekend. Chen Zhide's home is in Yinjiagou Village, which is 5 miles away from Wuchuan County, and there was no convenient means of transportation such as buses at that time.
Zhang Xiurong belongs to the former, while Chen Zhide belongs to the latter. On the weekend, Zhang Xiurong rode a bicycle for five miles and came to the door of Chen Zhide's house.
Knowledge can change fate! Father Chen just looked at her at a loss, not understanding what she meant. Zhang Xiurong hurriedly wiped away his tears, quoted scriptures, analyzed the importance of reading, and used up his tongue before Chen's father was moved.
Although he didn't fully understand, looking at the teacher's saliva and Chen Zhide's eager look, he agreed to let Chen Zhide continue to study. Chen Zhide is well aware of his family conditions, and after returning to school, he devoted himself to his studies with all his might, revealing more ambition, seriousness and a sense of responsibility in his eyes.
After a year of hard work, Chen Zhide was admitted to a key high school in Wuchuan County with the first grade score. He used the cotton shoes he bought with half of his teacher's salary as an encouragement to himself.
His heart is full of longing and hope, and he plans to live in the next three years of high school and four years after college, hoping to change the poverty of his family through knowledge. However, fate dealt him a heavy blow when he was full of anticipation.
Before the joy of high school life could completely dissipate, his mother died of illness. He endured his grief and helped his father deal with his mother's funeral and took care of his four younger sisters so that they could come out of their grief and receive support and encouragement.
He behaved strongly, and it wasn't until he met Zhang Xiurong, a gentle and considerate teacher like a mother, that he couldn't hold back his tears. He said to the teacher with tears in his voice, "I don't have a mother anymore. ”
However, life doesn't stop, life doesn't either, the gears of time are always turning slowly, you just have to take care of everything and move on. The college entrance examination was an important turning point in his life, and he studied harder.
Although his studies were heavy, he did not forget Zhang Xiurong's kindness. He would visit her on weekends and holidays, and although he could not afford to help her materially, he would help her with household chores and chat with her.
His mother has left him, but he regards Zhang Xiurong as a mother who is like a mother. Finally, in the summer of 1982, the day that determined the fate of his life, the college entrance examination, arrived.
His psychological quality is very good, he is calm and calm, he plays normally, lives up to expectations, and has won the second place in the county. Next, he has to fill in the application and wait for the admission notice.
When the admission letter was sent, he excitedly ran to Zhang Xiurong's house, shouting as he ran: "Teacher! I was admitted, I was admitted to Changchun Institute of Geology! ”
Zhang Xiurong waited for the news early in the morning, and when he heard his voice, a smile appeared on his face.
Chen Zhide's family is in trouble. As a college student in his family, he was supposed to enjoy his knowledge and youth on campus, but fate hit him hard.
Chen Zhide's father died suddenly, and the family lost its spiritual and material support. His tuition fees disappeared in an instant, and his sisters who were still in his hometown had nothing to rely on.
The burden of the family all fell on Chen Zhide alone. He had to cut back on food and clothing, rely on part-time extracurricular work to provide for his tuition, and live a very difficult life. Even in the winter of Changchun, he could not enjoy the beautiful scenery of heavy snow, because the temperature of minus thirty or forty degrees made him unwilling to enjoy it.
At the same time, his teacher Zhang Xiurong in his hometown is also thinking about him in the cold wind, and their contact is less than before. Despite the hardships of life, Chen Zhide is determined to move forward, knowing that this is the price he must pay for his family and his future.
Teacher Zhang Xiurong is full of love for her student Chen Zhide. When she learned that he only ate one meal a day in order to save money, and he didn't even have cotton shoes in winter, she decided to use 20 yuan of her only 40 yuan salary to buy cotton shoes for him.
Although she was worried that Chen Zhide would not accept it, she still sent a letter to express her concern and love. Chen Zhide was deeply moved by Mr. Zhang's behavior, and decided to treat Mr. Zhang as his mother, and through continuous hard work, he finally obtained a doctorate and achieved success in the workplace.
The teacher-student friendship between Chen Zhide and Zhang Xiurong is beyond any form of reward. When Chen Zhide took the prepared 100,000 yuan and offered to buy a house for the teacher, Zhang Xiurong politely refused.
The feelings of this pair of teachers and students are deeply rooted in the bottom of their hearts and cannot be measured by material things. Zhang Xiurong recalled the days they spent together, and his heart was full of emotion.
She saw the surprise and joy in Chen Zhide's eyes, the pain in his eyes when he lost a loved one, and the joy she expressed when students told her about her college admissions.
It's all a feeling between them, so deeply ingrained in their hearts that it can't be measured by anything. "
