Red Net Moment News Correspondent Chen Chen reported from Changsha
With the operation of time and space, the spirit of Lei Feng has been inherited and carried forward by generations ......On March 4th, in the classroom, the children gathered in the school auditorium, the old people spoke, the students listened, and the clear children's voice opened the prelude to the activities of Lei Feng's spirit into the campus, and moistened the hearts of every child in Huangxing Primary School.
The teacher who preached on the stage was named Xiong Nian, an old principal who was nearly eighty years old and a "good person in Hunan". After 40 years on the education front, he returned to his hometown of Huangxing Town, Changsha County, and used his pension to set up a rural bookstore in his own courtyard, buying more than 10,000 books for free reading for village children, and this is the 18th year of his work.
Over the years, I have been thinking that if I have to charge for any education and training, students are at a loss, and parents can't afford it, why can't I do something I can do for this society? It was with this idea that the current Songhe Book House was born. In the Year of the Bear, he vacated three rooms at home as classrooms, invited retired teachers to give free reading, Chinese studies, speeches and other interest courses to the children, and also installed a table tennis table in the small courtyard, and prepared sports toys such as hoops, spinning tops, shuttlecocks, etc., so that the children can have a happy land for learning and growth in the relatively quiet countryside.
In recent years, he often brings college students who volunteer during holidays to mobilize and organize the "five elders" to actively participate in the work of "caring for the next generation". For the Year of the Bear, the biannual "University with Primary School, Hometown Students" activity is an important cause to "feed" the hometown.
In 2017, the "University with Primary School" activity was held for the first time, and the activity was loved by many young parents who had no time to take care of their children because of work, and they all sent their children to me. He envisioned it.
Also in 2017, Hunan Province implemented the publicly-funded targeted training of rural teachers at the beginning of junior high school, and Changsha County had 30 places, and a group of young people interested in education went out to inject fresh blood into the basic education of townships and towns. Tang Yingzi is one of them.
I have been reading books at Songhe Book House since I was a child, and under the influence of Grandpa Xiong, I also hope to become a teacher and teach and educate people. During her time in school, Tang Yingzi, a post-00 generation, participated in the "big with small" teaching activities for 5 consecutive years, led the Changsha Normal volunteer team to carry out summer social practice activities in her hometown, and was awarded the title of "Outstanding Volunteer" in provinces, cities and counties.
On the way to becoming a teacher, I learned while walking, and I could deeply understand Grandpa Xiong's original intention and ideal of founding the bookstore. Tang Yingzi said that now she is working in Jiangbei Plum Blossom School close to home, becoming a glorious people's teacher, for her, the road ahead is long, but the future is promising, I hope to help children see the outside of a higher and wider world.
Don't forget your original intention, learn from Lei Feng, and be a sunny old man in the new era. Xiong Nian said frankly that he also hopes to be like Lei Feng, be a screw that will never rust, and stick to the post of caring for the next generation. In recent years, the Year of the Bear will also mobilize the members of the "Five Elders" to participate in volunteer services, publicize the knowledge of Internet law popularization, safety education, and civilized practice to children, and practice the original intention of "leaving the post without leaving the party, and retiring without fading", and play an exemplary role as a pioneer of the silver age.
In the afternoon, the sound of children reciting "Lei Feng's Diary" came from the classroom again, and the dream of reading in the farmer's bookstore was no longer a dream.
