A late party

On the morning of August 2, the sun was like fire, and the earth was like a steamer, which was unbearable. Dragonflies in the yard are hiding in the shade, but I am afraid that the sun will burn their wings. I curled up lazily on the sofa and watched TV at home.

At noon, I received a phone call from a female classmate, which surprised me. I recognized the voice of Ge Yiming, who is the secretary of the League branch of my senior foreign language teacher class. She said on the phone that it has been 40 years since 1980, and the students have always wanted to get together.

Forty years? This surprised me suddenly! It is said that time flies, but it is such an arrow that has traveled through forty years of time and space.

How many forty years can a person have in his life?

In a trance, I agreed to the client's request and agreed to convene several students to discuss this matter tomorrow afternoon. Put down the phone, I can't calm down for a long time, and the past is flooding in.

In the late 1970s, since the national college entrance examination was resumed, there has been a shortage of foreign language teachers everywhere, especially in Linyi County. Anxious to quench their thirst, the county education bureau temporarily recruited some fresh high school graduates and a few top students, transferred some in-service young teachers to form advanced classes, and entrusted Linyi foreign language teachers to train and study. The students in the class are of different ages, from their thirties to their forties, that is, two generations. In the middle is a group of high school students, mostly seventeen or eighteen years old, in their prime of life, with the largest number in the class and the backbone of the advanced class. There is a big age gap in the class, and the concept and understanding of things are different, which brings great difficulties to organizing activities and unifying thoughts. However, despite this, the students United, overcame difficulties, successfully completed their studies, and embarked on the post of teacher.

The past is like smoke, and forty years have passed in an instant. I took my thoughts back and said to myself, "It's time for us to be together."

The next day, near evening, the sun was still concerned about the hot earth and refused to set. I lingered in the shade of the roadside, waiting for the arrival of my classmates. In a short time, the students arrived as scheduled, and their greetings were still affectionate. The neighbor opened a family club, and the chef cooked Shandong dishes. The indoor environment is clean and comfortable. There are eight students here. We set up a preparatory group for the Party and elected jing yuan as the Secretary-General to coordinate the Party. At the same time, we decided to get together on August 22 nd and Saturday, which are also double days of the lunar calendar, for good luck. We agreed to contact teachers and classmates respectively, choose the place of the party and other things to do in the early stage. In a few words, everyone chatted happily.

Preparations for the reunion began to enter the fast lane from this day.

On August 7th, we sent out the first invitation letter in the formed classmate WeChat group, but the response was not great, which made me very uneasy. The number of people attending the party determines the scale and pattern of the event, and also involves the internal environment of the event venue. After waiting for a few days, I still relied on the students in the preparatory group to inquire and try my best to make a phone call. Finally, they decided to "take the lead" in the group before making sure that more than 20 students could participate in the activity. The students in the preparatory group are very busy, so that the party can be held smoothly as scheduled. I was very touched that they braved the scorching sun and the heat. I really should thank them.

The motivation of the students comes from the cohesion of the extended family, and the fact proves once again that "unity is strength" is a truth.

After the date and personnel were determined, we were busy choosing the right place, preparing the necessary products for the party and so on. Everyone is busy. It took a lot of trouble to set up the location.

On the morning of August 17, we sent a formal invitation to the students in the form of "invitation cards", consulted the teachers and reached an agreement.

Second, the party

On August 22, 2020, this day finally arrived in the eager anticipation of the students.

On this day, the sky is pale white, and the autumn wind slowly sweeps away the sultry past, adding a taste of autumn.

Early in the morning, students came to the meeting place-Blue Ocean International Hotel from all directions. In order to have a glass of wine, to be honest, Liu gave up driving, transferred from dozens of miles away and came by bus. Li Hong was so excited that he missed several roads and came here. Jiang's relatives came back from other places, but he didn't ask for leave to attend, but he managed to settle down the guests and came in a hurry. I drove around for dozens of kilometers, and I specially went to pick up Sister Zhou ... A touching scene, like a moving melody, flew to the party.

In the banquet hall, the students are busy nervously and orderly, and Wang Yurong and Dai Yonghong are busy with students signing in; Fu Yuxianhe and Zhang Baochun stood at a height to sort out the logo, and Liu set up a camera to adjust the focal length and aperture. Yi Ming and jing yuan washed out plates of fruit and served them. The hall was quickly decorated by everyone: the red logo of Linyi Foreign Language Teacher Training Class Association hung on the front wall was bright and dazzling against the backdrop of clusters of balloons. The curtain on the north side was replaced by a picture called "Youth Not Old", which set off a cheerful and warm atmosphere and publicized the youthful and fashionable atmosphere.

Youth is not old! It is written on the smiling faces of the students who are excited and happy, and it jumps in everyone's excited and happy heart.

The party kicked off under the warm auspices of Zhang Baochun and Fu Yuxian.

? "We have gone through the long road of life together and the trickle of time together."

? "We are participants in the reform and opening up of the motherland and have witnessed this great social change." ...

The affectionate host words brought the students back to their youthful student days. Everyone seems to have returned to the quiet classroom and noisy playground; Back to the early morning, reading under the big red tree, back to the surging youth in the blood. ...

? "No matter when and where, we will always follow the party and love the motherland forever!" The high-pitched voice of the host is as powerful as a clank oath. Aroused the students' * *, and expressed the people's teachers' loyalty to the party's education and their dedication. Applause broke out in the hall.

As an old monitor, I recalled the beautiful past when we walked into the campus together 40 years ago and studied life together. Out of school, we supported half of the foreign language teaching in Linyi County Township Middle School. Over the past 40 years, students have learned knowledge while working, practiced the excellent character and noble morality of people's teachers with their own actions, and trained and educated a number of outstanding students. Over the past 40 years, students' efforts have won praise from schools and all walks of life. Many students have been awarded senior titles and become senior scholars, and many students have won the honorary title of outstanding teachers in provinces and cities.

Over the past 40 years, students have achieved excellent results one after another with practical actions and handed over a qualified answer sheet to the party and the people. We have lived up to our teachers' earnest expectations and hard work, and we are worthy of the school where we studied and lived. Although the establishment of the school has long been abolished, we are still foreign language teachers. Shang Ruo Foreign Language Normal School is still here today and will be proud of our achievements.

Forty years of long road, we walked together, with hardships and more glory; There are tears, more laughter. If you give, you will be rewarded. Now we are all over the world.

As agreed in advance, we greeted Wu Qiang, a teacher who is recuperating in other places, online through video. The students shouted "Good teacher" in unison! And reported his work to the teacher. The teacher was deeply sorry for not being able to attend the party in person and congratulated the students on their complete success. Although the teacher and the students met in the video, the teacher was still in front of them, and everyone chatted happily and felt like a family.

Dear teacher, when will you come back? The students miss you!

Mr. Zhong Hua initially decided to attend the party. We have prepared flower baskets for beautiful teachers, but the school exams are too heavy to leave. The students had to contact her, and she repeatedly apologized in the video. The students greeted her, and after the reunion, everyone entrusted Ji Changrui to present flowers.

At the meeting, Ge, secretary of the Communist Youth League branch, wrote a poem with emotion: "I wrote the Spring and Autumn Period for more than 40 years, and now I meet again. Chunhua Qiushi celebrates a bumper harvest, and teachers and students have a long relationship. "

This poem expresses the students' feelings.

Miao Zhimin has settled in Beijing now, so she can't attend the party. She sent a warm congratulatory message, wishing the students a happy party! Miao Zhimin is a literary and art committee member of our class. Without her conductor, the song "The New Generation of the 1980s" that we are going to sing has to run aground.

Qingshan is still there, and classmates are still in love. Just play this song next time, and we will sing it when Miao Zhimin comes back! Students remember to recite the lyrics.

The party was held in a pleasant and harmonious atmosphere. Liu is an old classmate in the class. He got married in his hometown in the country while studying. He raised his glass and said emotionally, "I will never forget the day when I got married. My classmates rode bicycles for dozens of miles to attend my wedding." I still remember everyone eating in my humble little pot house. Decades have passed, and this classmate sentiment has made me unforgettable. I feel ashamed of my classmates every time I think about it. "While speaking, his eyes were red and he choked several times. What a lovely and respectable person this is!

Only honest people will know how to cherish gratitude better.

I silently looked at a female classmate who was over 500. The rings of the years have climbed on their foreheads, and the frost has dyed their temples red. But today, they are like a spring breeze, radiant and radiant; Still shining bright youth as in those years, still those beautiful girls who were always laughing and laughing in those years.

Time can change a person's face, but it can't change an eternal young heart.

Chen Xiucai is the oldest student in our class. She is over seventy years old this year. She can't be there today. She repeatedly urged Zhang Baochun (who lives in the First Hospital) to give her a family photo. She wants to see and remember the current students.

A classmate who should be the elder of most classmates, still remembers his little classmate, and is full of deep love. What kind of classmate feelings should this be? I don't think even the rippling Yi River can accommodate this friendship.

With the growth of age, some students have retired, but retirement does not mean retirement. Liu picked up his camera and traveled around the world. Over the past few years, he has photographed scenic spots in more than a dozen countries and recorded the customs of all countries in the world. At the same time, they participated in the public welfare activities of filming "Yimeng Veteran" as a group. Veterans who participated in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in those years fought bloody battles for * * * and made great achievements. Now they are all old people, most of them are frail and sick, and their lives are counting down.

This is a digging interview, and Liu and her team are racing against time!

They braved the wind and rain, waded through mountains and rivers in Yimeng mountain area, visited from house to house, left the voices and faces of veterans and recorded their heroic deeds. It is admirable to carry forward the traditional spirit of the Chinese nation, remember personal gains and losses, shoulder social responsibilities and spread positive energy.

The students who are still in teaching posts are all academic leaders. She (he) will not forget your initiative, remember your mission, abide by your duties and work hard. It is commendable to learn and carry forward the tenacious fighting spirit of the older generation of educators, who regard education as their own life and the honor given by the party and the people as the driving force for progress.

Not completed, not realized. Before you know it, it's already afternoon, and the students are still reluctant to go.

If you can't finish talking, please put it down first. We have plenty of time.

I deeply feel that the students are reluctant to part with this rare party, and what is more reluctant is the advanced foreign language class, a big family full of youthful vitality!

Never say goodbye, we will call the roll from time to time. Please remember to answer "here"!
