Break the cocoon into a butterfly and win the future-preface to Hui Yu's personal works

At 7: 30 in the evening, the campus after school is quiet and serene. It rained for several days and the world was wet. In the afternoon, a ray of sunshine suddenly came, which dispelled the haze for several days.

Stay in the office and make half a cup of instant coffee.

Yu Hui is about to graduate as the last student in 14 1 class.

Yu Hui is from Jiangxi-I pay special attention to children who come to Guangdong to study, which may be an allusion to myself. But Yu Hui didn't attract my more attention. Even though he was selected for the competition group, he was so obedient and serious, just to reassure me.

15 years, our teaching conditions are not perfect. Looking back, I really feel a lot: the competition room is more like a utility room, with several projects crowded together. Rats often run around on the ceiling. Ten-year-old air conditioners are good and bad. Every year in late spring and early summer, when the air conditioner is turned on, there will be an unpleasant smell of mice. ...

Yu Hui sat in front of the computer all day.

It seems that I always say that I am busy, and I feel guilty about these students and can't devote myself wholeheartedly. In order to build Nansha Island, the government decided to hold a "Scarecrow" design competition on National Day. As a participant, the school needs to submit works, which is tight in time and heavy in task. My students and I are busy in the auditorium from morning till night, and we don't care about the participating students at all. At that time, I bought a book "Case Analysis and Application of Logo Design" and threw it to several students such as Hui Yu, throwing out a sentence: "As long as you copy the logo in this book, you will know what' logo design' is." In a week's time, Hui Yu ate up the book, with 48 cases on 240 pages, and watched the tutorials done one by one. I will take time to go for a walk in the competition room during class. Every time I see Yu Hui, she sits in front of the computer and is silent. It seems that there is no need to go to the toilet. Even if I barged in suddenly, he was immersed in his own study. Even on weekends, when I went back to school to work overtime, I never found a game on. After a semester of competition training, this is a gentle, low-key, quiet child, a "stable" child.

Huiyu won the third prize for the first time. He was unwilling, and he worked harder this year. On my recommendation, Qin Xue. Com, he and two students, Gjesing, spent 500 yuan on a one-year tutorial with the saved living expenses, doing it bit by bit every day and completing one project after another. I am used to his hard work and seriousness. So in my memory, there is no story of Yu Hui. He is not like those stubborn students in my pen, which makes me hate and love; Unlike those queer girls, they call me "handsome" every day! Handsome guy! " ; Unlike Jay who is talkative with me; Don't grow up like a family hero; Don't see talent at a glance; Unlike Jinchang, full of ideals; Unlike Jie Biao, he has many ideas; Not as calm as Guo Shun ... I can't find the characteristics of Yu Hui. Perhaps in my five-year teaching career, I have become accustomed to two top children. Even my collection of 6,543,800+08,000 words of teaching essays, essays and broken pens, which I put on Douban reading, did not include Yu Hui.

As a child living in the middle class, Yu Hui has no talent, but she works hard enough. For students of this age, computers are always a little tempting. Which student won't install the game when the teacher is unprepared? It is best to listen to music with headphones. Hanging QQ is flashing, I always want to open it to see which friend it is, maybe it's my favorite girl. In the past two years, there has never been another one in Yu Hui.

Hui Yu is the leader of the project teaching in Senior Two. Because of his excellent professionalism and serious attitude, he promoted the progress of the whole student group. The e-commerce creative competition led the team to achieve excellent results. Then he named the group portfolio design "Flying Insect", which means "Breaking the cocoon into a butterfly" and "Stupid birds fly first". This is a heavy work with thickness. "Reading the barn" Lao Liu's sentence won my heart so much that I often quote: "The farmer tells the story of seeds, crops and fruits in the granary". The "granary" here, for Yu, is this "flying insect". And "The Fruit in the Granary" is the learning achievement of high school in the past two years. From the perspective of professional structure, it includes sketch, sketch, color, plane composition, color composition, font design, logo design, illustration design, poster design, layout design and extended book design, packaging design and VI design. Starting from the framework of book design, Yu Hui made a series of derivative designs-handbags, bookmarks, postcards, CDs, envelopes and so on. "Flying Insect" participated in the "National Computer Making Competition" and was selected by Shunde District and sent to Guangdong Province. Later, I received a phone call from the Provincial Department of Education and proposed amendments. This means representing Guangdong province in the national competition. At that time, I was in my hometown. I called Yu Hui from my hometown and told him to continue to improve his work.

In the summer vacation, I took Yu Hui to Luoyang to participate in the 17th National Computer Art Competition for Primary and Secondary School Students. His works include the granary of flying insects and farmers-a collection of five-year teaching achievements of graphic design. On the high-speed train, Hui Yu wrote a speech word for word under my guidance. Stay in a hotel near the gymnasium in Luoyang New District at night. In front of the hotel is a big artificial lake. In the evening in the north, the summer heat of the day slowly fades away, the sunset reflects the buildings by the lake, and the breeze blows the willows. Facing the stadium outside the hotel window, Yu Hui practiced her speech repeatedly. We decided to go out for a walk, so we walked around the lake, practiced and enjoyed the beautiful scenery before us. Before you know it, it's already late.

During my four days in Luoyang, it was also the hottest time in the north. I went back and forth to school and hotel every day in the scorching sun. The school is in the new district, and the time is short in the morning and noon, so we can't find a restaurant. We can only make do with lunch in the small noodle restaurant opposite the school. Every day, a bowl of noodles is rough in the north, and even pasta is not as delicate and light as Guangdong. Children in the south, after 90, are you used to it? Yu Hui is never picky about food and always eats well. We spent another free afternoon visiting Luoyang Museum. Roy College has a museum. I show it to Hui, which is always good for his design.

In the final, Yu Hui still couldn't overcome her nervousness. After taking the stage, facing the dark hall, she was too nervous to say a complete sentence and finally won the second prize. The result is not important, experience is already a valuable asset.

In the next three months, Yu Hui worked hard as usual. Every morning, we will run three times, two times and jog around the playground, chatting while running, reviewing yesterday's design works, analyzing one link after another, and talking about some topics such as employment and promotion, or the choice of future work, or even more illusory topics, such as ideals and life. He listened to and shared his experiences, such as the conditions of studying as a child, how strict his grandfather's teacher was, and talked about the scenery of his brother, father and hometown. ...

About my running experience, I recorded a scene in my "Walking Non-stop-Education Day Class":

Mu Xin's literary memoirs. The first sentence at the beginning is like this: "It is not appropriate for us to give lectures. It is called a school and a college. Plato's school was called Minstrel. Translated, it was the day school of that year, which was very casual and not as solemn as it is now. "

Happy school, walking school, interesting.

I ran with my classmates in the morning, ran twice and chatted.

We walked and talked. Tell me about the design works during this period, advantages and disadvantages, and I will point them out one by one. The student said that after reading his previous homework, he felt that he couldn't understand what he had done at that time.

We chatted and talked about the concept of "eyes are superior but eyes are inferior". "Eyes high" means expecting students to stand higher and see farther, instead of sticking to the status quo; "Hands high" is a high requirement for their technical ability. Our parents' experience often tells us not to aim high, but based on design, I ask students to aim high.

Is it "eye height" or "hand height" first? I pretended to hesitate.

Jie Xing and Hui Yu argued.

Jie Xing said, "Your eyes are not high" and your hands are high. Isn't that a salted fish can't turn over?

Yu Hui said: You are a dead salted fish.

They put forward this topic beyond the specialty, and people should have ideals.

Jie Xing wrote a sentence at the end of my project teaching: What's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?

We walked and talked.

I continue to talk about their designs and recognize their efforts and achievements. Then we talked about modesty. What are we? You just did your best at work. Don't stay in one place for a long time, just because it is the center of the world. We strive to go out and go out again. The farther we go, the more we feel that we are just a drop in the ocean. After death, people will eventually turn to dust. It is said that "it is small to climb Mount Tai". From a higher place, we are just a speck of dust on the top of Mount Tai. You know, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people.

Jie Xing said, Teacher, when we come back to see you on Teacher's Day after graduation, will you have gray hair?

My parents asked me to pull out their hair.

I said angrily, am I as old as your parents?

……

Let's just stroll around and chat, and the students will listen.

? 20 16 10 8: 00 am10, Visual Communication Design Studio.

1 1 month, the annual digital art competition is coming again. Years of experience in guiding have made me a little "used to it", and gradually I have the idea that "there are four mountains ahead, and no matter how hard I try, I can't break through". Now think about it, having such an understanding is the clue of job burnout. Unexpectedly, Yu Hui won the first prize in Shunde District, which shattered my idea. The judges announced that they would only comment on the top three works, starting with the third one. When Hui Yu's work was finally opened, Hui Yu said happily: Teacher! First place! Yu Hui clapped wildly in the audience. This is not Yu Hui, who is usually low-key and shy. The applause of the whole venue was suppressed by his hard applause. At the end of the last sparse, his applause was even more abrupt, and many teachers and students looked back at us. Teachers and classmates looked back at us in surprise, and I was so excited and excited at that moment.

I once chatted with a director in Zhuhai. He said, "You come to our school to communicate. I have always wanted to go to Shunde to attend a vocational school. " Then he talked about: "Why is Shunde's vocational education famous all over the country,' one town, one school, one product', and the school is not expensive but expensive, so it's strange that your competition is not brilliant! There are 13 vocational schools in the whole district that love each other and kill each other! " Not to mention the advantages and disadvantages of "vocational education group" and "one town, one school", Shunde Vocational School is also famous for its fierce competition among its brother colleges in Guangdong Province. When it comes to the "Advertising Design and Production" project, 13 vocational schools are almost all involved. After nearly ten years of development, it has been quite perfect and trained a number of strong schools. It is extremely difficult for schools that have lost their previous advantages to squeeze into the first group. Yu Hui opened a door for her school with the first prize, which was also a test and coronation of our five-year teaching achievements.

Yu Hui won the first prize, and I held back my excitement. A person sitting on the bus on the road, thinking about all the sadness, helplessness, injustice, enrichment, satisfaction, happiness in the past five years ... I feel a little excited and want to cry. All efforts seem to be waiting for a kind of recognition, and this way of recognition seems to be the final conclusion of the game results. I also laugh at myself as the "uncrowned king". When Leonardo DiCaprio won the Oscar, I jumped for joy. And we mortals will eventually be illuminated by the spotlight. For this moment, is it not the glory of the hustle and bustle, but the silent and persistent pursuit and exploration under the stage? Born in itself, so it is.

Facing the students, they will be promoted to university or employment, while Yu Hui will stay and continue to participate in the provincial competition. This is a lonely and long process. At the beginning of school, I made a strict training schedule and listed the exchange schools. Intermittently went to Taishan Jingxiu School to communicate with nine brother colleges in the province, and then went to Shenzhen Longgang Vocational and Technical School, Zhuhai No.1 Vocational and Technical School, and Shenzhen Xiechuang Technical School (finally cancelled due to the illness of the other school) to exchange and study. Well, these schools are far away and the journey is hard, but we all start early in the morning and come back at night-we don't want to waste money, let alone time. It's really hard for students to run around like this. The student who went to Shenzhen had a stomachache all the time, but he insisted on finishing it. March is the "Return to the South Sky" in Guangdong, and the air is hot and humid. With the outbreak of influenza, I soon caught a cold. What worries me is that a few days before the game, Yu Hui also showed signs of catching a cold. I hurried to the drugstore to buy cold medicine and told her to take it on time. On the day before the game, Yu Hui's hands grew small red particles.

"Obstacle is life", Yu Hui is really under too much pressure, which is the only way to grow up. Even for me, these days are like a big exam. Think about how we all got here. Because of hard work, so care, because care, there will be pressure that ordinary people can't understand. In the end, the pressure survived. 2065438+On March 23rd, 2007, the digital art "Advertising Design and Production Project" sponsored by Guangdong Provincial Education Department and undertaken by Dongguan Education Bureau came to an end in Dongguan Light Industry School. Yu Hui won the first prize among 63 teams and 63 contestants from various cities in Guangdong Province. Yu Hui is not satisfied with the first prize, and neither am I. In our opinion, the ranking can be higher. All along, we are resisting routines, because "routines" stifle "creativity". Judging from the growth of designers, I can't blindly achieve results through shortcuts for the sake of results. Yu Hui can have greater potential in the future.

"Without dreams, what's the difference with salted fish?" I remember I took part in a class teacher's speech contest, and the moral education director of a brother school thought that it was too big and empty for me to talk about "ideals" with students. But this sentence is often mentioned by Jiexing, and it was also designed by Jiexing's good brother Yu Hui. As the title page of his portfolio, it is particularly eye-catching. Looking through the collection of works, under the main color of yellow and white, there are exquisite polished works, which is a great progress compared with the era of flying insects. This is the granary of Yu Hui: logo design, font design, poster design, VI design, e-commerce design ... There are logo posters designed for school skills month, information department, school sports meeting, etc. , but also for enterprises and institutions to do design, some works have also gained small wealth for themselves. Every work is worth sharing and analyzing as a teaching case. The head of Rainbow Dream Shelter, a public welfare organization in Jun 'an Town, wants me to help them design logo posters. Yu Hui's logo is "Hold up a hut with both hands", and three posters with the same concept and unified vision are designed, which makes the other party extremely satisfied and grateful. Yu Hui is also fulfilling the social responsibility and responsibility of a designer.

Ah Lian dreams of sheltering his home in the rainbow. His slogan for the organization is "I can do it, I can do it, I can do it". In a very simple sentence, I think of Alian walking in the street with a wheelchair, and then look at an encouraging word written by Yu Hui for "Flying Insect"-"Break a cocoon into a butterfly and win the future". What are the reasons for our job burnout?
