Weather in Luxi Island

Watching the last child walk out of the campus, Mr. Chen packed his schoolbag, locked the iron gate and set foot on his way home. Teacher Chen lives in Koukuang Village, Luxi Island. From the mouth basket to the school, from the school to the mouth basket, twice a day, go out early and return late.

The road to school is not easy, going over mountains and mountains. The cool sea breeze brings the ripe aroma of wild fruits on the island and the fishy smell on the dock not far away. At the beginning of the new semester, the children are all tall and tanned. Children on Luxi Island are all like this. The sea breeze is salty, and when the sun shines, the children are generally dark, but they all look strong.

Mr. Chen was sweating as he walked. The mountain has a steep angle of 40 degrees, and it almost takes both hands and feet to climb it. Climbing over the mountain, sweating all over. Climbing over the mountain, sweating all over. Take a trip for 35 minutes. When it rains, you will suffer. The road is so slippery that the umbrella won't hold. If you are not careful, you will slip. Sometimes when I walk to school, I'm covered in mud.

At that time, Mr. Chen often wondered when it would be good to transfer out.

This is an island in the east of Wenzhou with a nice name, Luxi, which belongs to Dongtou District of Wenzhou (called Dongtou County before 20 15). Teacher Chen's name is Chen Qingjie. When he graduated from Teachers College, he was assigned to teach in Luxi Middle School. Teacher Chen is a native of the island and has been on the island since childhood. Like islanders, my father lives by fishing. But strangely, Mr. Chen is seasick. Father said, we are people who live by the sea. It seems that you have no chance to eat this bowl of fish rice. Study hard. Study hard and go out to work, you can change your destiny and leave Luxi.

It was not easy to go out at that time. The only way to leave the island is by boat. There is only one boat a day. When you arrive in Wenzhou, you have to get up before dawn to catch the boat. The departure time is not fixed, which is related to the tide. It takes four hours by boat. Every time I go by boat, it is a kind of torture for Mr. Chen. Every time I come back by boat, Mr. Chen thinks, if there is an opportunity in the future, I must leave Luxi.

The mountain has been walking for several years, but Mr. Chen still hasn't turned out. According to the policy of the county, after graduating from college, you can go back to your hometown to work and teach for five years, and you can transfer out. But when Mr. Chen first joined the work, the teachers in the school were all local islanders, and they were all older. At that time, Mr. Chen was young and wanted to make some contributions to his hometown. He taught for a few years first, and then tried to transfer out after the new college students came in.

Teacher Chen likes reading and teaching. He taught physics, and later this course was called "Science". All the children on the island like his class, and they opened their eyes as soon as they came up, as if the class had installed a new world. Looking out of the classroom window, you can see fishing boats on the sea, smell the sea breeze and imagine the world outside the island.

Life on the island is very difficult. Typhoons and rainstorms occur almost every year. When the loss was serious, even the roof of the school was torn off, leaving no tiles. Usually there is no water and running water on the island, so teachers have to go to a well to fetch water. Nearly 100 meters, a few kilometers away. In the dry season, when the well is dry, we can only sail to the opposite island to transport water. Later, there was a water tanker, which transported dozens of tons of water at a time for the people on the island to drink.

It's all good. What's the hardest part? Object not found. Young teachers don't want to come, and they can't stay if they come.

Teacher Chen knows everyone on the island. There are not many people on this island, so I bow my head and don't look up. When I meet Mr. Chen, regardless of age, I will say hello to him: "Teacher Chen, is school over?" "Teacher Chen, have you eaten?" "Teacher Chen, my little guy, you should be strict!" The children met Mr. Chen on the road. First, I respectfully called "Hello, Teacher", and then I dragged Teacher Chen home for tea and dinner. If teacher Chen doesn't go, they will be unhappy.

One year, a relative provided information that he could be transferred to work in the city and asked if Mr. Chen could go. Teacher Chen is tempted, the treatment offered outside is very high, the living conditions are much better, and there are naturally many opportunities. And on the island, it is too difficult to find a person with the same conditions. He couldn't sleep for several nights. After thinking about it, I finally made a decision: stay. Why? Because at that time he taught the third grade, it was very important for children to get good grades and go to a good school. In the third grade he taught, his "science" scores were among the best in the county many times. Thinking of the child's eyes and the trust of his parents, how could he have the heart to give up the child halfway and leave by himself?

This stay is many years. Teacher Chen has become a landscape on the island. Every day he comes to school early to meet the children. In the evening, I watched the children leave the campus. Every day, he spends time with children in the sound of books. There are many typhoons on the island. On the day of typhoon, he and other teachers sent the children home one by one. Teacher Chen likes this job more and more. The children he has taught are admitted to outside schools every year, and then go to universities further away in a few years. Teacher Chen is very pleased to see the children rushing to the bigger world.

When Mr. Chen was almost thirty years old, a teacher Yu finally came to the primary school on the island. In the long run, the two men fell in love with each other. Mr. Chen was appointed as the vice principal of the school and concurrently the principal of the chemical technology school on the island, and his work increased. He became a family and had a companion after work.

Although Koukuang Village is still so far away from the school, the island has built a new road and opened a tunnel, and there is no need to climb mountains and mountains again. Mr. Chen bought a motorcycle. In the sudden sound, fishermen on the island often see Mr. Chen riding a motorcycle, while Mr. Yu is sitting behind, coming in the wind and going in the rain. People on the island will still wave to them from a distance and ask loudly, "Teacher Chen, is school over?"

Teacher Chen likes life on the island more and more. In 2006, the opportunity to transfer to the city reappeared, but Mr. Chen quietly declined. This year, Mr. Chen changed the channel and began to focus on his adult education. Adult education, from the beginning of "literacy" to the improvement of cultural quality, to technical training and community education, has been carried out year after year, and many adults on the island have become students of Teacher Chen. What does teacher Chen say in class? Current affairs at home and abroad, China's excellent traditional culture, life aesthetics education, health knowledge, advanced science and technology ... are all inclusive. Teacher Chen holds a "Kashima Lecture Hall" in the village activity center once a week for half a day. After the lecture hall opened, it actually opened for 20 years. There is a grandmother Liu, 94 years old, who never stops giving lectures. Teacher Chen is worried about her health and advises her not to come if the weather is bad. Grandma Liu agreed, but it was still rain or shine.

20 1 1 after the merger of middle schools on the island, the quality of primary education on the island has also declined. In the autumn of 20 12, before the start of the new semester, some parents found Mr. Chen and thought he was capable and experienced, hoping that he would manage the primary school. The district leaders also found Mr. Chen and asked him to pay attention to the quality of teaching and arouse the enthusiasm of teachers and students.

Teacher Chen shoulders a heavy responsibility. Thanks to the joint efforts of teachers and students, the school has taken on a new look, with refined management, lean teachers, rich campus culture, improved students' learning enthusiasm and improved the overall quality of education and teaching. By July of 20 13, there were 60 children in the primary school graduating class, of whom 12 were admitted to a private school in Wenzhou and achieved good results. This island school has successively won the "Huazhong" teaching quality improvement award and the "Huazhong" teaching quality contribution award in Dongtou District. Teacher Chen also made a typical speech in the whole region for two consecutive years.

A few years later, President Chen's term of office expired and he could have been transferred to the outlying islands. The leader also promised to arrange a position with better conditions. But teacher Chen declined again. He said, let me stay in Luxi Island and continue to do adult education.

Teacher Chen said that he was used to life on the island. Although Luxi Island is small, the longer I live here, the more I like it.

Life on the island is simple and quiet. Counting, Mr. Chen has been teaching on the island for more than twenty years. His favorite thing to do now is to take a walk on the island with Mr. Yu after work. Every face you meet on the road is familiar. Either the students he taught, the children of the students he taught, or the students of his later adult school-in any case, people greeted him along the way: "Teacher Chen, have you eaten?" "Teacher Chen, go home and have a bowl of wine!"

Teacher Chen said that in my life, I didn't do anything important on the island, and I lived a dull life year after year. However, what makes Mr. Chen proud is that many of the children he has taught have left the island and flown far away to the whole province and even all parts of the country, and some have become outstanding talents in different industries. "I am old now, I feel very happy, and I don't want to leave this island!" Teacher Chen said with a smile.

Whether it is calm or stormy, Mr. Chen is there, sticking to the island, making a dream boat and sailing to a magnificent distance.
