The diplomatic couple lost contact after retiring, and fell ill in the hospital ten years later, saying that they had no regrets or complaints
Lao Zhu, who has not been seen for a long time, his whereabouts are a mystery and curious. I thought they would go overseas, but they chose to live in seclusion in the mountains! In 2014, outside the cadre ward of a well-known hospital in Beijing, the first and endless stream of visitors were extraordinary figures, dressed in formal clothes and showing leadership style behind glasses. "
Everyone whispered around and talked, puzzled: "The former diplomat style is no longer there, Lao Zhu is now depressed and accompanied by illness, where is the once rich retirement living expenses consumed?" ”
The former ** couple Zhu Mincai and Sun Lina, their life trajectories are curious. Although Zhu Mincai was a director-level cadre after retirement and enjoyed excellent treatment, Sun Lina, as one of China's first English teachers, was equally extraordinary.
However, what is surprising is that this pair of talented and beautiful women have not set foot in the capital for many years, where do their footprints lead us?
Original: Their beloved daughter revealed that her parents had entrusted her with all their wealth when they set off on their journey, telling her in a serious voice that as they grew older, this trip might mean a permanent parting.
With tears in her eyes, the daughter emotionally rejected her mother's plea and turned away. In the past ten years, no matter how affectionately the mother calls and retains, it cannot stop them from moving away, leaving only the back of the child who is drifting away.
Sun Lina said goodbye to her beloved daughter affectionately, packed her bags and embarked on the journey to the train station. Her suitcase was full of not only her personal necessities, but also her meticulous love for her husband - every bottle and jar of medicine there carried the deep concern of the two of them.
She embarked on a spiritual journey south to Guizhou, with picturesque scenery along the way, leading her back to her hometown in the mountains and wilderness deep in her memory. After getting off the train, she needs to change to a warm bus, and then trek through the winding mountain road, step by step into the long-lost intimacy and tranquility.
Although the winding mountain road tests perseverance and every step is full of hardships, Mr. Sun's heart is full of enthusiasm for people's expectations. When a villager driving a tricycle appeared in his sight, he shouted with a smile: "Teacher Sun, you are back!"
Let me give you a ride to the school. This simple greeting is like a light that illuminates the way forward, giving her endless motivation.
Sun Lina rode the enthusiastic tricycle of her fellow countryman and started chatting with a smile on her face. In Jianshan Miao Village, Sun Lina and his wife are like bright stars and are loved by the neighbors.
As education volunteers from a big city, the husband and wife exemplify the spirit of dedication with practical actions. Not only are they disseminators of knowledge, but their official positions in Beijing have made them generous philanthropists, often supporting schools and sowing seeds of hope.
Reveal the secret traces of Zhu Mincai and Sun Lina who have been retired for ten years. Why did this pair of intellectuals choose to pursue a career in mountain education? Their story is like steel refining, born in the fifties and sixties of intellectuals, Zhu Mincai graduated in 1965 as a top student of the English Department of Guizhou University, at that time the country was in urgent need of foreign language talents, so he joined the Ministry of Commerce, stopped in Beijing, and devoted himself to the country's foreign economic and trade cause.
However, when the turning point in their lives came, they poured their wisdom and passion into the inheritance of education deep in the mountains.
From the global stage to their homeland, they have traveled to Tanzania, Nepal and Canada. At the time of retirement, the two senior workers felt that their responsibilities were unfulfilled, and the generous remuneration could not dissipate the guilt in their hearts, and they were eager to continue to contribute to society.
Surprisingly, it was Zhu Mincai's wife who took the lead in proposing to return to their homeland and build their hometown, and this affection and determination made the couple decide to regain their mission and return to Guizhou to regain the value of their work.
Through the prosperity and progress of the world, they have witnessed China's growing wealth, but they were deeply touched by an article entitled "6 Years of Persistence: The Power of Jianshan Miao Village".
In this remote Jianshan Miao Village in Guizhou, the altitude is as high as 1,300 meters, and only 70 families live together. In order to light the light of knowledge, the villagers worked together to create a primary school with great determination and tenacity, and interpreted the power of education with actions.
With endless dedication, parents piled up 7,000 catties of stones with their backs to build a temple of knowledge, just to ignite their children's dreams of knowledge. 6 years of time, Mr. Li Yungui is alone, like a rock, the first 3 years of 100 yuan hard teaching, the last 3 years of 200 yuan to witness his perseverance and love, he is the lonely candlelight that illuminates the darkness.
Original text: No editor teacher, his identity is stuck in the gap between the educational post. **After that, the attention of the community was focused, and the Education Bureau responded quickly, promising special treatment and striving to deal with it properly.
When the couple read the report, they were moved to tears. They deeply felt that education is not easy, and realized that the development of the motherland called for more devotees, so they decided to take practical actions to burn their own residual heat and light the way forward for the students in difficulty.
At the moment in June 2008, Ms. Sun Lina was deeply touched and immediately decided to go to Guizhou to spread the light of education. She acted quickly and decisively, and completed the preliminary preparations in only two weeks, and arrived at the remote Jianshan Miao Village like a spring breeze at the end of June.
They resolutely left the prosperity and comfort of the city and stepped into a land of poverty and backwardness that needed to be nourished. There, countless stars of hope for the motherland bloom and grow in the barren land with their indomitable spirit.
In the simple stone school built by the villagers, even the doors and windows are only simple holes, and the lighting conditions are difficult, often relying on natural sunlight as a light source. Despite this, Mr. Li Yungui has done his best to provide education for the children with great determination, although his own education level is limited and Mandarin is not his mother tongue, but his burning heart and the courses that cannot be taught are all filled with practical actions to fill the gaps in knowledge.
Under the limitations of the current educational environment, children's knowledge is seriously disconnected from the outside world, especially the inability to communicate in Mandarin, which undoubtedly increases the challenge for them to go out of the mountains to receive better education and employment.
However, the intervention of the husband-and-wife team of teachers brings hope, and they selflessly open a comprehensive curriculum including Chinese, mathematics, English, physical education and **, working hard day after day, so that the light of education illuminates the path of every child's dream.
*With sports, the secret of the growth of village children**. The class accelerates the learning of Mandarin with the intangible charm of language, and the physical education class plays the role of a discipline shaper.
By integrating these lessons into the all-age village classrooms, we aim to improve children's social resilience, bridge the cognitive gap between them and their urban peers, and enable children in mountain villages to gain valuable social communication skills while having fun.
In the daily life of students,"Dog beating sticks"At one time, it played a dual role, not only as a climbing partner in outdoor activities, but also as a tool for self-protection due to the specific environment in the mountainous areas of Guizhou.
However, this potential danger has created safety hazards in schools, leading to a tense atmosphere after school hours. Mr. Zhu Mincai was ingenious and introduced a method called"Dog stick method"The martial arts class allows children to carry out healthy gymnastics training with sticks.
This innovative initiative has significantly reduced conflict between students, enabling both safety and fitness.
In the face of new learning challenges, children are also full of fear of simple stick games, and it is even more daunting to show their talents under the supervision of Ms. Sun. In Jianshan, life is beyond imagination, the family's living and work are crammed into a corner of only 17 square meters of cottage, all daily needs are taken into account in a small space, the toilet is only separated by a wall, and the unbearable smell seems to tell the difficulty of life.
A new definition of bathing: just a sink and sprinkle water on your body. In the cold of winter, there can be months without this ritual. However, such conditions made Zhu Mincai unfortunately suffer from rheumatism, and his knee pain made it difficult for him to sleep at night.
In the face of physical challenges, he did not choose to return to Beijing to recuperate, but wisely adapted to the environment and decided not to return to Beijing reluctantly to reduce the difficulty of moving. "
Zhu Mincai took Guizhou as his home, and even gave up returning to Beijing during the holidays, and only at special moments did he let his wife embark on the journey home alone. Although Sun Lina walked vigorously, she was deeply affected by the harsh environment, and the long-term light and ultraviolet rays of the plateau made her eyes almost dark.
Studying in the deep mountains, the food is difficult, and the road to study in bad weather is like walking on thin ice. To ensure that children are fed at lunchtime, school canteens are a necessity.
Two selfless messengers, with the help of a deep social network, launched an aid operation, and they spoke out with the help of ** power in a low-key manner. When they're in"Moving China"The hall of honor shone brightly, and all walks of life quietly discovered their silent support for teaching.
The honor inspired the two to care about education, and they took advantage of the opportunity of social concern to launch a fundraising action to contribute to the construction of the school. Before they arrived, Mr. Li Yungui stuck to his post and did not leave his hometown, but because he had no work to go out, he could only live in a simple shack, and his dedication was particularly moving.
Jianshan is like a bright star, which has attracted wide social attention. The Guizhou Military Region of the Xingyi Army Sub-district extended a helping hand in a timely manner and worked with the forces of all sectors of society to light up the road of Jianshan's development.
Thanks to donations and social support, as well as the strong support of the military region, Jianshan has been able to build up a complete set of facilities, including canteens, playgrounds and sanitation facilities, and has made remarkable progress.
The generous social elites generously prepared a hearty and nutritious breakfast for the children, built an entertaining and educational playground, and introduced talents from the army - professional pianists to serve as their part-time tutors, so that art and joy go hand in hand.
The former stone house has been transformed into a warm two-storey school. Classrooms and dormitories are bright and tidy, like a haven from the wind, providing a comfortable learning environment for poor students that is better than at home.
This is the place where their dreams set sail.
Because of the growth of the teaching staff, it is easier to recruit, especially when comprehensive accommodation is provided. However, Sun Lina and his wife are not satisfied with the status quo, and their steps are still moving forward firmly.
With a spirit of dedication, they choose to move on to more challenging fields, and they insist on one goal in mind: as volunteer mentors, they will never take away the rights and resources that young teachers deserve.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhu Mincai do their best to educate and grow their children, and their lives revolve around school and children. It can be seen from this ** that although his pants are worn to the crotch, they reflect their selfless dedication and deep love for their family.
He insisted on not changing his pants, even if the style was a little old, because deep down he thought that those inconsequential details did not need to be overly concerned, and it was more important to use the money saved for the nutritional supply of his children, so that their jobs would be more abundant.
After years of baptism, the two souls who went hand in hand spent more than ten years together, until 2022, when 81-year-old Sun Min was forced to suspend his story due to a cerebral hemorrhage.
Now, Sun Mincai on the sickbed is lying quietly, and the intubation of the throat has blocked speech, but he can't hide his tenacity and persistence.
He clenched the tip of the pen, but his handwriting trembled, and the weakness of his hand turned his head in frustration, and the fear and impotence of his self in his heart brutally revealed his current situation—and now, he was helplessly reduced to a man who could not write.
After countless temperings, Sun Min finally poured out his ultimate wish - willing to give back to the society with his body. Considering people and service as a beacon of life, and dedication as a lifelong commitment, his belief is now turned into action!
Although his life came to an end, he still adhered to the benevolence of a doctor and turned his body into a valuable resource for scientific research. His passing is deeply missed by students and parents. Recalling the days when he was seeking medical treatment in Guizhou, many principals called themselves"sub", came to take care of him, even Mrs. Sun Lina was difficult to intervene, and his influence can be seen.
Guided by "How Steel is Made", Sun Lina and her partner firmly believed:"Worthy of the years, fearless and ordinary"Their life norms are embodied in every action dedicated to education in the mountainous areas of Guizhou.
Two retired diplomats from Beijing spent nine years writing educational legends in Guizhou, carrying stones to build a palace of knowledge. He, a secondary school graduate, returned to his hometown to teach, and with six years of perseverance, he brightened the future of a school.
Their deeds tell us that no matter when and where, burning residual heat can show the value of life.
