20 1 1 in may, 2008, it was selected as the "model of teachers' morality" by Shanghai Education and Health Party Committee.

He has been invited to be the judge of international ballet competitions such as Nagoya, Japan and Seoul, South Korea, and served as the judge of the ballet company of Li Tao Cup Dance Competition for many times. 20 1 1 During the summer vacation, Liu Sirui, a recent graduate of the Dance Academy of Shanghai Theatre Academy, received olive branches from four American dance companies, and she finally chose a British dance company to join. Many people can't imagine that she was a controversial student when she was admitted to hospital.

Feet are as important to dancers as sound is to singers. Many teachers think that Liu Sirui's instep has congenital defects, which affect the shape of toes and calves, and it is impossible to cultivate top students. Zhu Meili, director of the ballet department, sees that her other conditions are very good. "Maybe we can turn the tables." But a teacher said, "This is about bones, so don't bother."

Zhu Meili recruited her through public discussion and took foot training as a scientific research topic. She first studied anatomy, studied the structure of feet, looked for foreign materials and watched foreign videos, and developed the course "Basic Toe Training for Ballet Girls". She practiced with Liu Sirui for a whole year. Other teachers looked at it and said, "Better." This objective evaluation made Zhu Meili very unhappy. Finally, one day, Zhu Meili formally proposed to Liu Sirui: "You should change careers and dance folk dances!" Hearing this, Liu Sirui brushed away her tears. In fact, Zhu Meili knew that the child was going to be "excited", and she could stand scolding and suffering, so she was chosen. After Zhu Meili communicated with Liu's parents, this ordinary family specially bought cameras and cameras. Every time she rehearses on stage, her father is present to record videos for her daughter. The master and apprentice looked at the pictures one by one, analyzed them one by one, and from which direction to correct the deviation and from which point to strengthen them, in order to jump out of the perfect dance steps on these insufficient feet.

The next year, many teachers began to be surprised. Liu Sirui seems to be a different person. In the national "Peach and Plum Cup" dance competition, Liu Sirui ran three rounds in a row, but his feet were weak before the final. Zhu Meili was anxious, with a straight face, and the child was scolded and cried. Shenyang, the venue of the competition, coincides with a hot day. There is no air conditioning in the rehearsal room, and I stand sweating. Others advised Zhu Meili not to take it too seriously. The final was that night, and I was afraid that the children could not carry it. But Zhu Meili stared at the most difficult action-making Liu Sirui do it ten times at a time, and then making a mistake once every ten times until she passed it ten times in a row.

Liu Sirui was pushed to the limit, and the last "ten times" was successfully completed. A few hours later, she won the gold medal and became famous in World War I. Zhu Meili was famous for her strictness among students, but she was more severe on others. She is always sweating like rain with her students. According to the rules of dance training, Zhu Meilidu requires students to do enough preparatory activities before each class, otherwise they will be easily injured in class. In order not to occupy the formal class time, she has been teaching for more than ten years and insists on entering the classroom half an hour in advance every day to guide the children to warm up. As soon as the bell rings, we will go to the regular class without a minute's delay.

Moreover, in order to make up for the lack of teaching time, Zhu Meili has been giving extra classes to students every weekend for more than ten years. From 8: 30 am to noon on Saturday 12: 30, students can always find Mr. Zhu in the dance studio of Lianhua Road Campus in Shangxi. One Saturday, Zhu Meili saw some classmates eating bread during class and criticized them on the spot. After a while, the monitor whispered, "It's past two." Zhu Meili listened to one leng, and quickly looked at her watch-it turned out that her eyes were a little presbyopia, so she turned the hour hand and the minute hand upside down and mistook two points for twelve ten. Thinking that the child has been practicing for nearly five hours, she choked and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let's go to lunch." After this incident, Zhu Meili changed a big watch to prevent missing class time again.

In order to ensure students' practice rehearsal, Zhu Meili gave up the opportunity for excellent teachers from all over the country to go abroad for recuperation, and also gave up the opportunity for Shanghai model workers to recuperate in other provinces. She also gave up the kind invitation of foreign art colleges and groups many times, and gave up the honor and reward of being a judge of international ballet competitions many times. As the head of the department, she not only personally teaches dozens of students in two classes, but also manages the international standard dance major of the college.

As busy as a bee, she often sits comfortably in front of the TV after 9: 30 in the evening, watching the Evening News and eating the dinner prepared by herself. She remembers the weather forecast in the program best. The next day, when it's morning shift, the "mother teacher" will predict the children like this: "The cold air is coming, and everyone must wear scarves tomorrow morning." Zhu Meili 1960 was admitted to Shanghai Dance School to practice ballet and graduated from the Cultural Revolution six years later. She joined the Shanghai Ballet and became the first ballet dancer in New China. However, this kind of western art has only performed two "model operas" in this decade-White-haired Girl and Red Female Soldier, and there is no real international exchange and study. In her twenties, she actually missed the golden age of ballet. After the Cultural Revolution, the dancers in the troupe failed to meet, and Zhu Meili could only "top" the line. This "top" was dragged from 1976 to 1994, and she had to solemnly resign from her superiors: a ballet dancer in her forties was no longer fit to play the leading role.

Leave the dance floor and go to the teaching area. Zhu Meili started her teaching career, and has always held such a dream-to find back the lost golden time with the students, so that they can get dance education synchronized with the international level and reach the international level. Zhu Meili did it-Wei Yao, Fang Zhongjing, Zhang Jing, Zhu Jieying, Liu Sirui and others she trained won numerous prizes in the Lausanne and Helsinki Ballet Competition, which is known as the "Grand Slam" in the ballet world, and won more than 30 prizes. She herself won four "Garden Awards" in the triennial national "Peach and Plum Cup" held from 6th to 9th, which won great honor for her motherland.

"I am a competent teacher, but I am not a competent family member." Zhu Meili spends only one day a week with her husband, daughter and 93-year-old mother. Not long ago, when the season changed, her husband, who was already in poor health, had a cerebral infarction because of high blood pressure. Because Zhu Meili didn't turn on her mobile phone in class, fortunately, her daughter helped her and was taken to the hospital for rescue. On the same day, Zhu Meili even forgot to turn on her mobile phone at noon, and she didn't know until 5 pm. "Later, I stayed with him for 14 days. Perhaps this is the most intimate period between us since I became a teacher. "

My daughter has grown up now, but she can't forget that her mother never attended a parent-teacher conference from primary school to middle school, and even didn't come to the university graduation ceremony. At the graduation ceremony of Huashan Road Campus, my daughter wore a bachelor's uniform and waited for her mother to take a group photo, but her mother who was attending classes at Lianhua Road Campus never showed up. My daughter came home and cried. "My parents are here, and I am an orphan!" "Mei-li zhu was speechless and full of guilt. All she knows is that more children need her.
