Zeng, a "first-class teacher", was happy and dedicated in a mountain school.

A two-story building with a pocket yard is Nanhua Primary School in Huangdong Township, Guidong County, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province. This most common mountain village school in China has attracted many people's attention.

Because there is a national model teacher here.

For Zeng, the secretary of the Guidong County Party Committee has such an incisive evaluation: "He has done the work of teachers and education to the extreme. We think he is a first-class teacher in Guidong County. This product means yes. " Soon, Zeng's nickname "Yipin Teacher" spread like wildfire.

"He dreams of running a good school, a school that students like and people are satisfied with."

-Zeng in the eyes of his wife Luo

Guidong County is an altitude county in Hunan Province, which is known as "Tibet in Hunan". Huangdong Township, located at the edge of Hunan and Jiangxi, is the top of the mountain in this county. South China of this town covers more than 50 miles of Fiona Fang, including Duliao, Dongshui and Gao Qiao administrative villages. It is the top of the mountain and has a cold climate all year round. Initially, all three villages had a simple primary school. According to the layout adjustment plan of rural primary and secondary schools in the county at the end of last century, these three primary schools should be merged into a boarding primary school. However, due to financial reasons, the construction of the new school has not yet started.

200 1, the opportunity has finally come. Hong Kong Nursery Action decided to donate this primary school. At that time, the cadres and the masses of the three villages negotiated, and a new school was built in Gao Qiao Village, which was divided into five groups and a farmer's relatively moderate responsibility field. However, when negotiating land acquisition, the price put forward by farmers made them unbearable. In desperation, members of Hong Kong's "Nursery Action" had to leave by car.

Seeing this scene, the primary school teachers in Gao Qiao Village were in tears. If we lose this opportunity, I don't know when this boarding primary school will be built! He dried his tears, gritted his teeth, took a shortcut to chase the car in the distance, and finally stopped the car on a mountain bag, sweating and panting, saying, "I don't want a penny, I built it on my responsible field!" " "

Although the Zeng family's responsibility field is slightly off-site, it is relatively spacious and has a broad vision. Members of "Nursery Action" fell in love with this place at first sight and soon decided on the school building plan.

However, a storm also happened in Zeng's home.

Cultivated land is the lifeblood of farmers. The Zeng family only has more than 4 mu of cultivated land, and it took more than 3 mu to build a school. What should I do in the future? Besides, the medicinal materials such as magnolia officinalis planted in the field are already one or two meters high. After three or five years, they will become piles of red flowers. Wouldn't it be a pity to cut it all down now? In desperation, his father-in-law, who has always supported his work, pointed to Zeng's nose and called him a "black sheep". His wife Luo went back to her family in a rage.

In fact, doesn't Luo know her husband's heart? What made her angry was her husband's self-assertion.

Since/kloc-0 became a private teacher in February, 1979, he has been a teacher in primary schools in these three villages for more than 20 years. However, these schools only have two houses, a classroom and a teacher's room. Teachers and students don't have any activity venues, and there is no place to do radio exercises. The simplicity of school has always been his heart disease.

Zeng's wife and he are from the same village. After her husband became a private teacher, her wife willingly contracted almost all farm work and supported her husband wholeheartedly. The school lacks this, and she will send it without saying anything.

"He dreams of building a good school, a school that students like and people are satisfied with." The storm soon subsided and his wife explained it to others afterwards.

Local cadres and the masses said that it was to promote his family's education, and he gave away not only a few acres of land, but the whole family. Before the county started distance education, Mr. and Mrs. Tseng moved all their televisions and video recorders to the school for teachers and students to use. Now there is only one acre of land left, all of which are replanted with vegetables, so that more than 50 students in the school can eat vegetables every day.

"This is more than all his property. All the people in his family, even relatives, have participated in running schools. " After the completion of the new school in August 2002, all 49 students in the school lived on campus, the oldest being only 10, and the preschool class was only four or five years old. Who will be responsible for three meals a day and manage the students' lives? At that time, the joint meeting of the three villages decided to hire a person with a monthly salary of 2 10 yuan. However, because the salary was too low to cash, no one came, and Zeng's wife came. From the beginning to 2006, he didn't take a penny for four and a half years, all of which were voluntary labor. It was not until 2007 that the county education bureau allocated 340 yuan every month that his wife got her salary. Zeng's two brothers-in-law run transportation. Whenever something happens at school, no matter whether they are rich or poor, they will do well.

"Putting a child in Ceng Laoshi is like entering a safe."

-Zeng Qingxiang in the eyes of the villagers

The snow and ice disaster in early 2008 prevented many people in the south from having a good Spring Festival. Zeng's family is no exception. On New Year's Eve, the couple had a little quarrel. Traditionally, they give red envelopes to nephews, nieces and nephews on this day. I once said to my wife, "Don't worry about it this year. The school's water and electricity have been destroyed by this snow and ice, and it will cost a lot of money to repair it. " The wife began to disagree. They are the oldest of the two families. Usually, they are both very busy at school. Not only does the burden of caring for the elderly fall on the younger siblings, but they are also taken care of by the elderly and younger siblings from time to time when the school is in trouble. Shouldn't it be said during the Chinese New Year? But on second thought, her husband was right. If we don't make plans now, the school won't be able to open. Wouldn't we miss the big event? She crustily skin of head to explain to her younger brothers and sisters that lucky money is also represented by red paper.

Ever since the Spring Festival, Zeng has been very busy. The road leading to the school collapsed in more than 30 places due to snow and ice, and more than a thousand trees were crushed by snow and ice and fell on the road. He and Kevin Cheng, the branch secretary of Duliao Village, started one by one, and it took 10 to finish the road. It was February 16, and he left school for only one week. He and Mr. Huang Guangliang rushed to repair the water and electricity facilities. At this time, the old snow and ice on the mountain have not melted, and the new snow and ice are still falling. They have to break or pry open the ice first, look for the crushed water and electricity lines, and then buy equipment parts for maintenance day and night. Considering that the freezing time is too long, many students have frostbite. I once found a lot of Chinese herbal medicines with retired teacher Luo. ...

Due to full preparation, despite the unprecedented snow and ice disaster, although this is a famous remote and cold mountainous area in Hunan, on February 23, the school raised a five-star red flag as scheduled, and 49 children came to school one by one.

"The autumn wind starts in July, the autumn wind is cool in August, and the lazy woman freezes to death in September" is a popular local saying. It is cold all year round here, so keeping out the cold has become a particularly important issue. The school not only has no air conditioning, but also can't afford to use electric heaters. There is only one indigenous way, that is, to prepare a drying cage for each student. One is charcoal for drying cages, and the other is to prepare fire every day. At this time, the 60-mu responsibility mountain of Zeng's family has made contributions. One of his responsibilities is not to transform bamboo, and the other is not to plant forest medicine. Besides having no time to help, another important reason is to collect firewood and burn charcoal, which makes miscellaneous trees grow wildly. At first, the cadres and masses in the village calculated that his family would lose tens of thousands of yuan just because of collecting firewood and burning charcoal every year.

Raw roasting cages are also very troublesome. As long as it is cold, every night at 10, Zeng and (Yuan Luo) two teachers will take turns to make a fire. Before dawn the next day, they went into the woodshed together, divided the charcoal fire into dozens of small roasting cages one by one, and covered them with charcoal ash. This process takes more than an hour to complete quickly. After work, both of them are charcoal dust and sweat.

In the boarding primary school with young children in the mountain village, the teachers are particularly hard. They get up at 5: 30 in the morning, go to bed after 1 1 30 in the evening, and get up several times in the evening to take care of the students. If students get sick in the middle of the night, they have either walked more than ten miles behind their backs to the village health clinic to see a doctor or invited a doctor to the school. On a cold winter night, his clothes were soaked with sweat and turned into ice.

In order to cope with emergencies, Zeng, who originally only knew some local medicines and herbs, also worked hard to learn medical and health knowledge. A handbook of rural cooperative medical care was simply recited by him. As long as he has the opportunity to be with rural medical staff, he always has endless questions, and he also learns to collect Chinese herbal medicines with Teacher Luo. At ordinary times, when students sneeze and cough, or when they see people with runny noses and listlessness, Zeng Qingxiang always pulls him to his side and asks him carefully. If necessary, he cooks a bowl of preventive soup and takes a preventive medicine.

There is a student whose foot muscles are atrophied and he can't walk at all. From preschool to the third grade of primary school, I used to carry him for four years, let him eat, live and study at school, and insisted on treating him with local medicine. Now the student can walk by himself. "Without Ceng Laoshi, this child would be finished", and the parents of the child were grateful.

A couple in Gao Qiao were working in other places, so they gave their 6-year-old son to the school. Because the old man in the village said: "When the child arrives in Ceng Laoshi, it is like entering a safe, and nothing happens."

It is precisely because of the trust of the masses that every family in the three villages under the jurisdiction of Nanhua Primary School has taken the initiative to send their children to school, and the enrollment rate, consolidation rate and qualified rate of students have increased year by year.

Isn't it tiring to do so? In Zeng's diary, we found the answer: "Students are everything to a teacher. Of course, the warmth and coldness of students, the bitterness and happiness of students, and the growth of students are my eternal concerns. " For 29 years, I have been pushing myself like this.

"Ceng Laoshi always regards the classroom as a battlefield for soldiers. He takes every class seriously and is never careless. "

-colleagues commented on Zeng.

This is a third-grade science common sense class-"Understanding Trees". Trees are everywhere in mountainous areas, and there are many ancient trees around Nanhua Primary School that are hundreds or thousands of years old. How to know big trees? I once took my students to a big branch.

It was a hot day. Teachers and students braved the scorching sun for more than 200 meters and came to the tree. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew and the summer heat disappeared. The first question put forward by Ceng Laoshi was "How did you feel when he came to the big tree?" "Cool." The students scrambled to answer. "Why is it cool?" "Because there are many branches and leaves covering the sun ..." At this time, Ceng Laoshi told the students that this large green area above our heads is called "forest canopy". He introduced the crown, leaves, branches, trunks and roots to the students, then explained the role of each part of the tree in growth from the root to the crown, and then organized students to measure the circumference of the tree and the land area covered by the crown. The results of the measurement surprised the children: the tree was surrounded by 5.2 meters, and seven children held the tree hand in hand. Finally, Ceng Laoshi used topics such as "A tree is a small reservoir" and "People are afraid of sad trees and peel them" to let students discuss the role of big trees and how to protect trees and the environment.

In people's impression, Chinese and mathematics are the most important subjects in primary schools, while other subjects are often ignored. But even an ordinary science knowledge class, the content of which is a tree that children are very familiar with, should have carefully prepared lessons and listened carefully.

In fact, it's not just popular science knowledge. Two teachers in Nanhua Primary School teach four grades, and each teacher has to teach 24 courses in different grades, from Chinese, mathematics, ideology and morality, life and health knowledge to music, physical education and art. Ceng Laoshi carefully studied the textbooks of 24 courses, and wrote lesson plans for each course.

Colleagues once commented: "He always regards the classroom as a battlefield for soldiers. Every class is taken seriously and never sloppy. "

This is a compulsory course in every class. Is time allowed?

"Time is easy, as Mr. Lu Xun said, time is water in a sponge. As long as you squeeze, there will always be. The hard part is that I always feel that I don't have enough knowledge. Don't look at teaching middle and lower grades in primary schools, but your knowledge is very large. In particular, it is more demanding to be a general teacher. You must know everything and become an encyclopedia. " I once said this.

How to squeeze time? There was no clever trick, just using other people's rest time. In the eyes of the villagers, since the establishment of Nanhua Boarding Primary School in August 2002, he has not had a good day's rest. He himself said that even when watching the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve every year, he took a notebook and pen to record something useful for teaching. Because he lives with students most of the time, he bought a small flashlight for the convenience of studying with a light. "The light of the flashlight is soft and will not affect the rest of the students." Ceng Laoshi said proudly.

Although he never went to junior college or undergraduate after graduating from normal school, he never relaxed a day's on-the-job study. The characteristic of the research is the combination of education and teaching practice. He told us such a case. Once, he came to a small mountain stream with a dozen third-grade children. He picked up a few pebbles and threw them into the small mountain stream. All the pebbles sank, and then he gave the children a question: how can we make pebbles float on the water? Later, with the help of small boards, plastic foam and big leaves, children floated on the water with pebbles. After affirming the child's cleverness and wisdom, he finally pointed out the topic of the composition that day: wandering with small stones. Once said that this kind of composition, first, let students have something to write, not afraid of difficulties; Second, students watch and listen to fairy tales on weekdays, and use small stones to do problems, leaving enough space for children to imagine and create, which is conducive to the development of students' language and thinking ability.

In this way, while studying, practicing and summarizing, I once co-wrote "Exploration of Innovative Composition Teaching Methods in Primary Schools" with my teacher. He also wrote more than 20 articles on learning experience, experience introduction or theoretical discussion, which were published in newspapers and periodicals at or above the provincial level.

Nanhua Sancun Primary School has been unknown in Guidong County, but after the reform and opening up, especially after co-organizing boarding primary schools, it has achieved remarkable results. It is not only famous in Guidong, but also registered in Chenzhou City and Hunan Province. Ceng Laoshi's teaching reform and teaching thesis have won prizes in provinces and cities successively, and his student Luo Feng has also won the third prize of scientific and technological invention in the city. What is commendable is that South China movies not only achieved the enrollment rate, consolidation rate and qualified rate, but also achieved the excellent rate. There were few high school students here before. Since 2006, all junior high school graduates have been promoted to senior high schools and vocational schools. In recent years, there have been four college students in South China. Huang Yimin, who went out from here in 2003, also became the champion of liberal arts in the college entrance examination in Guidong County and was admitted to a key university. After he was admitted to the university, he was especially grateful to his alma mater and his teacher Zeng. He said, "I will never forget Ceng Laoshi's education as a father and a brother. If I hadn't met such a good teacher as Ceng Laoshi, I wouldn't have such good study habits and such a good learning foundation. "

"We advocate learning from Zeng, that is, we hope that more rural teachers will strive to be' first-class teachers', combine educating people with enriching the people, and seize the commanding heights of rural education."

-the county party secretary's evaluation of Zeng.

He was Jiang Hong's first teacher. He said that he had been taught not only knowledge, but also life.

Jiang Hong returned to the village to give birth after graduating from junior high school. Now he mainly does two things, one is processing bamboo shoots, and the other is running and transporting. Duliao Village has more than 20 mu of bamboo forest per capita. In the past, raw bamboo only sold for four or five yuan, and bamboo shoots only sold for one or two cents a catty. Because there is no road, bamboo shoots often rot in the mountains. In recent years, with the construction of roads and the low-level reform in South Pearl River, this situation has changed a lot. Jiang Hong said: "Ceng Laoshi is the promoter of the bamboo low reform. He suggested to our father and son several times that we should seize the opportunity and find ways to process bamboo shoots and bamboo shoots to increase the added value of bamboo products. " Thanks to the efforts of Jiang Hong and others, the bamboo shoots in Duliao have now gone abroad.

Duliao village used to be the first poor village in Chenzhou 1 1 county, but in the new century, there is still no access, no electricity and no postal service. Great changes have taken place in these short years. Not only do households have electricity, but cement roads enter the village to join the group. More than 100 households out of more than 200 households have become professional bamboo farmers, and dozens of households have become professional cattle farmers, all of whom have raised hybrid cattle ... all these are the work of Zeng's proud students. Talking about the changes of these students and mountain villages over the years, Zeng's heart was full of joy.

In addition to teaching, the most important thing was the leading and exemplary role of the school. There are many mountains and bamboos in the south of China. Popularizing low-grade bamboo cultivation and bamboo medicine intercropping is undoubtedly a good way to get rich. In the first two years of promoting the planting of Magnolia officinalis, we not only publicized the economic and environmental significance of Magnolia officinalis everywhere, but also took the lead in planting more than 10 thousand plants in responsible fields, and even established nurseries in schools and homes to provide seedlings for farmers at low cost. He also focused on mobilizing some students who took up production posts to boldly promote them. Among them, 20-year-old Qiu Deguang planted 654.38+million plants, Luo Chengyao planted 50,000 plants, and now more than 80 households have planted 1 10,000 plants. A new technology and new variety have been popularized in less than two years, and the school and Mr. Zeng have played a vital role. Now, all villages have taken the lead in becoming science and technology demonstration households and professional households, and they are all outstanding students of the school.

What the mountainous area lacks most is technology. What shall we do? The former method was that a teacher could do many things and a school could use many things. In addition to the establishment of farmers' cultural and technical schools based on schools, teachers directly give farmers cultural classes, law popularization classes and science and technology extracurricular classes. They also invited experts from Hunan Agricultural University and scientific and technical personnel from municipal and county science and technology committees and science and technology associations to give lessons to farmers based on local conditions. As long as it was agreed with villages and towns to invite people to give lectures, they would not only invite people to give lectures in various groups (natural villages), but also learn more about farmers' ideas, difficulties and hopes before class, so that the teaching content was closer to the actual needs. During the lecture, he listened more carefully than anyone else and took notes carefully. If he doesn't understand anything, he will ask the lecturer for advice after class and leave his contact number. He said the lecturer left after class, and some problems were solved by our teachers and village cadres.

The key to getting rich is to cultivate people. In the usual education and teaching, students have been paid attention to discovering and discovering the beauty of their hometown and encouraging them to make contributions to their hometown. He encourages students to study hard and go to high school and college, but he never educates students with the goal of leaving the countryside and flying away. "Who will build and manage 100,000 mountains in South China in the future, not just students now?"

In September 2007, Guidong County held a report meeting on Zeng's advanced deeds. At the meeting, Zhou Wang, secretary of the county party committee, said with emotion: "I once linked my work with the prosperity of farmers and rural modernization. We advocate learning from Zeng, that is, we hope that more rural teachers will strive to be' first-class teachers', combine educating people with enriching the people, and seize the commanding heights of rural education. "

"As long as life is poetic, happiness and happiness will accompany you."

-Zeng's life motto

The night is quiet,

The moon hangs on the treetops,

The bird fell asleep,

At the teacher's window,

The light is still on. ...

This is "Moonlight Ballad" by Zeng and Luo, and all the children in Nanhua Primary School can sing it. These two teachers have composed more than a dozen such songs.

Teachers, students, cadres and the masses all say that Mr. Zeng can sing, love painting and tell stories. No matter how hard and tired the work is, he is happy all day.

"You, Zeng, are a poor man. You are such a stupid and happy day. It is really unreasonable. " One of Zeng's classmates said this. Yes, when many people build houses and buy cars, there were not only no new houses, but also six dry-foundation houses built in the 1970s became dangerous houses because of this year's ice disaster, so he had to tear down three of them and three of them were supported by trees. He has a son and a daughter, one goes to college and the other to high school. His tuition and living expenses are 20 thousand yuan a year, and he also relies on relatives to help him, borrowing from the east and borrowing from the west. Responsibility field is used to run schools, and responsibility mountain is also used to run schools. The meager salary can sometimes help students. ...

"Your students get rich one by one, and your neighbors get rich one by one. What do you have, Zeng Qingxiang? " Brothers and sisters are also worried about Zeng's family. The couple have eight brothers and sisters, all of whom are better off than them. Several of them have moved to the county seat, and three of them have cars.

"With your intelligence, you could have been richer than others. You are possessed by ghosts and want to be an ascetic. " Zeng's father-in-law once scolded him like this.

But in recent years, parents-in-law and brothers and sisters no longer blame Zeng, and everyone helps the Zeng couple from time to time. Because even Zeng's wife, Luo, said, "A duck has a duck road, and a chicken has a chicken road. Everyone has his own way of life. Qing Xiang is so happy and energetic, so let him be happy. I don't believe that every household is rich, and Qing Xiang and I will starve to death! "

"What is caring for each other? What is a soul mate? My wife and I are! " Once said, this is happiness, this is happiness.

Not only his family, but also every teacher who has worked with him is United and a partner. People are surprised to find that in the past 65,438+00 years, whether writing songs or writing teaching papers, they have always cooperated with others. At first it was Zeng and Luo, now it is Zeng and Luo. Once said: "We study and work in the same body, * * * gives birth to * * * glory, which is quite tacit. I have such a good partner, can I be unhappy or unhappy? "

Of course, what makes him happiest is to see the students grow up healthily, the villagers get rich, and the schools and teachers are more and more loved and trusted by the masses. How happy it is to be understood and respected by others. In Duliao and South China, Zeng wandered in a respected atmosphere.

Zeng and his wife and children are very clear about the current difficulties at home. When the two children came back during the winter and summer vacations, they also helped their parents do things for the school. The school cooks and cooks firewood for students all the year round, and almost half of it is made by two children. Fan Zeng, a son studying in Zhuzhou Normal University, also comforted his parents and said, "It's very difficult. You can get through it by biting your teeth." After several years, my sister and I have been employed successively. If there are any difficulties, we can work together. "

During the interview, I handed each of us a white cigarette and said with a smile, "You are rare guests, so I will be extravagant. On weekdays, I smoke 2 yuan 1 pack of economic cigarettes. " Pointing to his clothes and shoes, he said humorously, "I am a' standard' to receive you. I wore the most expensive clothes and shoes today." He told us that he had never worn clothes above 50 yuan or shoes above 30 yuan in his life. However, he spends 500 to 600 yuan to subscribe to newspapers and periodicals at his own expense every year, and the collection of books at home reaches 1000. Zeng Qingxiang proudly said: "I pursue a poetic life. My motto in life is' As long as life is full of poetry, happiness and happiness will accompany you'. I am not an ascetic. Spiritual products have really brought me more happiness. "

May Zeng live poetically forever.
