Shandong Observation

In May in long summer, it's already the season of flowers blooming. I once again opened a number of photos sent by a friend of Jining from WeChat more than two months ago, which were the interior and exterior scenes of the Red Star Campus of jining university Affiliated Middle School. As can be seen from the photos, this newly-built junior high school in the former site of jining university (formerly Jining Teachers College) has a red building, a clear spring pool, a garden of paulownia and lawns that have turned green, sprouting with exuberant life tension. It can be seen that this is a school with very modern software and hardware facilities, and it must be a school, garden and paradise in students' minds.

Looking at the red building rebuilt on the site of the original liberal arts building in one of the photos, I remembered that there should be an open space to the east of the red building, which used to be a garden of the school more than 4 years ago. It is in this small garden that there is a magical "7: 3 flower", which has left me an unforgettable memory for life.

In the early 198s, Jining Teachers' College (now jining university) had a small school area, and the total number of students majoring in politics, Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, English, music, fine arts and physical education, together with those taking part-time courses, was about 7, which was far from the huge scale of more than 22, college students in jining university who moved to Qufu, the holy city of the East. ? At that time, there were many bungalows on campus, and several buildings stood out from the crowd. The main branch was in the western half of the campus, and the laser research institute building of the Provincial Academy of Sciences not far from the east of Teachers College was considered as a relatively high building on the north side of Hongxing Road at that time. Entering the school gate, an asphalt road to the north leads to the staff family area and the school logistics area, and an asphalt road to the west leads to the teaching, office area and student dormitory. Due to the small playground area, when we were students at school, we ran morning exercises in class, all along the asphalt or brick trails in free from worry, turning left and right, and walking around the teaching building and the dormitory of the staff's families. I don't know how many times the slogans and footsteps of running exercises disturbed the teachers and Jenny's deep dreams.

To the east of the Red House of Liberal Arts and to the east of the North-South Asphalt Passage Road, the garden with an area of more than 2 mu is unique in a compact campus, which reflects the school's aesthetic care for campus planning. This garden, measured by the current standards of greening and beautifying the university campus, is simple, but after careful cultivation and hard work by gardeners, all kinds of flowers and trees in the garden always have flowers in three seasons and are evergreen all the year round. Especially at 7: 3, the flowers bloom with promises and promises, which brings unspeakable surprises to us who have never seen much of the world.

7: 3 flower is a kind of grass, and I still don't know its scientific name. I only remember that at the beginning of April of that year, when the master gardener began to cultivate, he accidentally understood that it was a new variety introduced from the school garden. The flower season was at the end of June and the beginning of July, and it bloomed at around 7: 3 in the evening, so the common name of the flower was "7: 3". After hard fertilization and watering by the gardener's master, the flowers under the rose tree are blooming. At 7: 3, the flowers grow from buds to seedlings, from seedlings to plants, and the branches and leaves are oily green and grow sturdily. In our curious and joyful waiting, in the hot summer, clusters of flowers seem to be tacit, and countless buds appear in just a few days, indicating that the flowering period of flowers has arrived at 7: 3.

in the evening of June, the night is always late. At 7: p.m., the lights on campus are on, and the windless weather is oppressive and hot, which still can't stop groups of students from coming to the garden, stepping on the winding path and watching the wonders of flowers at 7: 3. Under the bright lights, the colorful buds that are clearly identifiable are quiet and leisurely, as if the actors are preparing for the performance. Suddenly, a bud began to sway slightly, and then the swaying amplitude increased. In a few seconds, more buds trembled, and then the top of the bud suddenly spread slightly. Finally, the whole bud burst open like a colorful automatic umbrella! Looking at the watch again, the time is really close to half past seven. Appreciating these scenes of flowers that can only appear in movies and TV slow motion, with the sound of "poof" and "poof" of flowers at 7: 3, the students gave out bursts of exclamations and praises.

The best time for flowers to bloom at 7: 3 pm is 7: 3 pm. After this time, the frequency of flowers gradually decreases and lasts until 8: pm. I think that in those days, if everyone had a smart phone, we would definitely cross the sea and show our magical powers. We would shoot the grand occasion of 7: 3 flowers from different angles, and then spread it all over the world with the help of WeChat friends circle, blogs and Weibo, so that more friends could share it. It was destined to be an unusual visual feast.

The flower at 7: 3, the beautiful life that blooms at night, presents the light and heat of the sun absorbed during the day to the moon and the night, without flaunting or showing off, and it is innocent and worthy of the viewers.

To the north of the school garden is a row of bungalows, from west to east, followed by a book sales department, a clinic, a table tennis activity room and a school printing house. After enjoying the flowers and having a rest, students can browse and buy new books and magazines in the book sales department. A kind-hearted and knowledgeable teacher works as a shop assistant there, occasionally "guest" as a book commentator, and in a few words, he will accurately summarize the contents of books and periodicals. Sometimes, we happen to be able to buy expired books with a half-price discount. Most of these low-cost books are only one or two yuan, which attracts some cash-strapped students, and I am one of the frequent buyers. Some of them have been preserved to this day and I often read them.

At 7: 3, when the flowers are in full bloom again, our students have also reached the graduation season. One day in early July, in order to catch the first bus to Tengxian's hometown, I packed my bags at 4: in the morning, bid farewell to several old classmates who had not left school and went to Jining long-distance bus station. Walking in the silent campus, the flowers in the garden seem to be still asleep at 7: 3 under the light of street lamps. I can't bear to disturb them, but I just picked some holly leaves from the roadside green belt as a souvenir for my alma mater.

more than 4 years have passed, and although the green leaves of Holly have dried up long ago, they are still in my notebook when I was a student, and they still retain the dark green color of that year. Flowers are similar every year, but people of different ages are different. At 7: 3, the flowers bloom and thank, and the thanks bloom again. After the hard education and training of the teachers, the students of the alma mater spread their wings of knowledge, left the ancient city and flew to all directions of the motherland.

more than 4 years have passed, and I still often dream that the flowers bloom at 7: 3 in my sleep, that my classmates are full of youthful vitality, and that the joint classroom in the red chamber of liberal arts is full of vitality.

more than 4 years have passed, and our teachers, such as Mr. Jiang Baofu, Mr. Wang Xianbin, Mr. Chen Hongwen, Mr. Wang Yue, Mr. Li Qingchu and Mr. Liu Youxin, have already traveled west by crane. Our teachers are Mr. Zhang Jiushao, Mr. Jin Mingli, Mr. Yang Xutai, Mr. Zhao Baofu, Mr. Yang Weihao, Mr. Yang Longdang, Mr. Li Dejun, Mr. Liu Gan, Mr. Li Huacan, Mr. Lv Guizhi, Mr. Chen Huijun, Mr. Liu Chenglan, Mr. Qin Xiangyang, Mr. Ma Naitian, Mr. Li Shankui, Mr. Zong Yuan ... And the unnamed book salesman.

more than 4 years have passed, and the setting grass trees, ordinary alleys, blue bricks and red tiles, and 7: 3 flowers in my alma mater have been transformed into a magnificent new campus in jining university, the holy city of the East, and a beautiful Red Star campus in the middle school attached to the College. At this time of the season, the campus of Hongxing Road, the affiliated middle school of jining university and College must have been flourishing in Ye Sheng, and the two schools carrying the genes of teachers' colleges will surely get better and better and have a bright future.

more than 4 years have passed, and I have covered more than half of my life. The distant 7: 3 flower still haunts my mind. As long as I remain in this world, this beautiful flower of youth will still bloom in my heart.

For me, this is a persistent and eternal memory of my alma mater ...
