July 20th

Finally arrived at the destination of Sanxiaxiang, a very remote and small primary school? Haibin Primary School in Jianghong Town. In a very remote fishing village, the entire school is not larger than a football field. When our car arrived, they also lit up firecrackers. They were very excited and looking forward to it. All the children came to watch. They were dark and thin, running barefoot around the clearly visible campus. Some seniors were playing basketball. , there is only a very dilapidated basketball court, and the backboard on one side is broken, but no matter what they do, they basically don’t wear shoes? We boys live in a small classroom on the second floor, with four uneven desks spread out. Straw mats were used as beds, and those without tables were given bunks on the floor. Girls were even worse off when there were too many people. After tidying up a little, we went to eat in another small classroom downstairs. It rained so heavily that we couldn't even find water to wash the dishes. The meal consisted of a large bucket of soup prepared by the principal, a bucket of radish-like soup, a bucket of plain-cut duck and pork, and two pots of rice. However, the ones without salt seemed to be tasteless. Fortunately, we found a bottle of soy sauce, which was a treasure for everyone. There was no electricity on the floor, and everyone was crowded in the small classroom, eating in the dark. A few children kept running around us and kept saying to us the Cantonese they had learned: Hello. Even later, a child cried because he could not speak Mandarin (the lower grades here only know their dialect), and another child held him in his arms to comfort him. I stood by and watched speechlessly. The children were very curious about my camera and magnesium light. When they saw their own appearance in the camera, they cheered for joy and kept posing for me to take pictures. They said: Take this photo! Take this photo! 2009? Three Going to the countryside? Diary of supporting education (July 20-July 24) The innocence shown on their faces made me feel extremely heavy in my old heart. That feeling far outweighed my mood when I saw Yu Fei again.

There are only two toilets in the school. There are no faucets in the toilets. You have to go outside to get water to wash in. Since the heavy rain has not stopped, everyone can only queue up. Even if a man is washing inside, there are a group of women outside. Waiting outside, there isn't even a door, just a wall. Later, the rain finally stopped. When I came out to the playground, I was extremely surprised. I had never seen so many stars in the sky. They were not bright but the number was eye-catching. Just the beginning of this trip has been something I will never forget.

July 21st

Unexpectedly, primary school students came to knock on the door of our dormitory at around six o'clock, forcing us to get up early. After hurriedly freshening up, I started to have real contact with this campus.

The children were very interested in my height and camera, and tried their best to jump on my shoulders. They were so naughty. The most important thing is that the first and second grade students basically cannot speak Mandarin and can only speak Leizhou dialect. There are huge barriers to language communication. They don’t know what I say, and I don’t know what they say. Who is Brother Liang who can only teach? We, BOY YOU, are so miserable! Because I have to take pictures in each classroom, they desperately chase me to take pictures for them. I put up a lot of POSS, and I really have to entertain them. The problem is, after you take pictures of him, will he attract more children to chase me? This is my first time doing photography work, so I learn and use many things now, and I slowly explore. The photos I took before always failed to meet the requirements of the entire team's newsletter, but I gradually learned to do it, haha.

After taking photos, accompany the members of the research team to conduct research. I found that these girls are really perseverant. They can spend half an hour to complete a questionnaire to the surrounding residents with the translation of the senior children. They are really serious. Every questionnaire is carefully prepared and there is no fraud. On the way, I was led by kid Ma Wei to the beach here. Such a big and beautiful beach, clean sea water, blue sky and blue sea, it is really refreshing and in a good mood! Seeing this sea, I began to like it slowly. 2009? Three Going to the Countryside? Diary of a Supporting Teacher (July 20- July 24th)

After dinner in the evening, it was finally time to show off! I danced the dance I was going to teach once in front of everyone. Everyone said: Cheng Li, you are so good at twisting your waist. Oh! Haha! The response was pretty good! The kids even came over to imitate my moves. A certain team member even told me afterwards that the little girls said I danced very handsomely, which made me so happy! But many people went to the beach to watch. Sunset, I have to practice dancing and don’t have time to go!

The feeling of the second day is completely different from the first day. Yesterday I was depressed and low, today I am relaxed and happy. It turns out that this place is not as bad as I thought. , it turns out that all the primary school students basically wear slippers, and then take off their slippers and run around barefoot! I gradually became familiar with these team members, and found that there are really many beautiful girls in this team. Haha~~

July 22nd

Today the primary school students came over very early again to disturb our sleep. Oh my God!

I have to take Yu Fei to school in the morning. They went to the town to find an Internet cafe to distribute newsletters, using the motorcycle of a teacher who lived in the school to assist us in our work.

In fact, it was my first time to drive a car with gears, and I learned and used it now. After driving around the dilapidated basketball court, we officially hit the road. I listened to Yu Fei talk a lot along the way and felt that she has changed a lot now than before. In addition to becoming more mature and beautiful, she has also become sharper. I don’t know how to describe that feeling. Maybe everyone is pursuing it. When you have your own career ideals, you will slowly be assimilated by society. Maybe one day I'll be sharp too.

It’s really hard to find an Internet cafe in town. The Internet speed is super slow. I couldn’t send an email even after waiting for a long time. There was a young man next to me with exaggerated hair and exaggerated clothes. It made me I'm worried about their safety. After all, this is my family's place, so it's better to be careful. I found that the social youth here are very exaggerated. Many of them dye their hair in an exaggerated way and dress casually, wearing a pair of slippers. I found that except for the students at Haibin Primary School, almost everyone in the town wore slippers. I seemed to have walked into a land of slippers.

We eat in the classroom, there is no fan, lunch and dinner are very hot, one meal is hotter than playing a game of football. After dinner I finally had time to go to the beach to watch the sunset. Almost all the team members came, and I finally saw the sunset on the beach here.

The sunset is infinitely better. It turns out that the sunset on the beach can really make people sigh like this. It's so comfortable. Standing in the waves, I feel like I own the whole world. At this moment, I forgot everything, and my eyes and heart were all used to accommodate the beauty of the sunset sea. The fishing boats floating on the sea, the children swimming in the water, the sound of us playing, and the happy emotions spread with the sea breeze. It turns out that the world is so beautiful, but I have never realized it before. Just the sea in such a small fishing village has made me wash away my tired body and mind, open my hands, and embrace the setting sun.

We took pictures everywhere, trying to record the artistic conception in front of us as much as possible, trying to integrate ourselves into this artistic conception as much as possible. I found that Peina is really special and handsome! Especially when she is sitting on the rock looking at the sea. My camera kept taking pictures the whole time I was watching the sunset. Haha! No wonder Yan Hong came over to me this afternoon and said: Why don’t we go to the beach together tonight! (Okay! Okay!) Remember to bring your camera! (Dizzy?) Haha! 2009? Three trips to the countryside ?Diary of a volunteer teacher (July 20-July 24)

I practiced dancing for a long time at night! So tired! Go to bed early and get up early!

July 23

Today I went shopping with Jiaxin, Huihui and Sister Xia who helped us cook. Sister Xia took us on a small road, it was so muddy! It was so difficult to drive! I bought corn, carrots, ham, pork, chicken, potatoes, Chinese cabbage, mixed vegetables in the morning, and potato chicken in the afternoon. When I was buying vegetables, I noticed a very familiar person. When I took a closer look, it turned out that the young man buying vegetables was actually the young man with exaggerated hair and clothes that I saw in the Internet cafe yesterday? So this is really a contradictory story. world.

2009? Three Going to the Countryside? Volunteer Teaching Diary (July 20-July 24)

It is the first time to cook for so many people, and I find it very enjoyable! Miscellaneous Although it was my first time to make broccoli, it was pretty good and generally received unanimous praise after eating it. The potato chicken in the evening was terrible. The problem was with the chicken. The weather was so hot, so the slaughtered chicken was left to eat in the afternoon. The girl put the lid on while marinating, which gave the chicken a strange smell. But being hungry, we still grabbed everything!

We held an encyclopedia knowledge contest in the afternoon. Those children were so awesome! They actually memorized all the preparation materials we gave them. I couldn’t answer many questions. ! What a shame! Haha! Although it was the first time for these children to engage in these activities, basically everyone was very disciplined and serious, and the activity ended successfully. 2009? Three Going to the Countryside? Diary of Supporting Teaching (July 20-July 24) (Did you find that the child in blue clothes in front looks like Jay Chou? Haha)

Finally, I have to teach the children to dance in the evening. However, since all the performers were girls, they were too shy to dance in front of me, so Jiaxin had to teach on my behalf. Then I went to teach other team members. Although the effect was not very obvious, they still learned it seriously. Zhongheng remembered the movements very quickly, Peina and Yiting were very serious, and Yu Fei was the slowest in remembering the movements. They always forgot, which was a waste. I have a dancing figure! Haha!

Since dance practice lasted until ten o’clock, there was a little girl who lived far away and did not dare to go home alone, so Jiaxin and I sent her home. I have a flashlight, the sky is full of stars, and the surroundings are pitch black. In rural areas, people usually go to bed after eight o'clock. Except for us who turned on the headlights at school, there were no lights in the whole village. It was very quiet and a bit scary at the same time. After sending the little girl home, we almost got lost. When walking around on the winding paths, I often suddenly find dim lights coming from other people's yards, and then there is an old man standing under the lights, fanning and looking at us? I always suddenly scare Jiaxin. She pulled my arms and clothes tightly, it was so funny.

I’m going to town tomorrow to carry out a propaganda activity about China’s Centenary Years. I have to get up at six o’clock. They also unanimously decided to ask me to perform a solo dance performance. Are you so dizzy?

Just after taking a shower. At 12 o'clock, I called Xiaobei and sang a birthday song. Happy birthday to my dear league secretary! Haha!

July 24

Get up at six o'clock Now, let’s go to the bustling streets over the pier to give a lecture on China’s Centenary Years. At 6:30, we drove Yu Fei and Chun Ni on a motorcycle to hang up banners at the event venue. Zhong Heng and the others arrived with the second batch of speakers, and we started to really get busy. Before it even started, a lot of people had gathered around and were discussing. But they spoke Leizhou dialect, which I couldn’t understand at all. Fortunately, Brother Fazhao and Chunyan were there. After the lecture started, the audience gradually decreased. Siying immediately came to the rescue. She played a flute version of "City in the Sky" which was really amazing, and the crowd came back again. Chunyan's voice when speaking Leizhou dialect was very funny, which made me want to laugh, but I think her voice sounded more comfortable. When it was my turn to perform, I was so hungry that I had no energy. It was so miserable without breakfast! It was my first street performance, and it felt weird, but I still finished the dance very seriously, and everyone was very considerate of me. I applauded warmly, I feel quite satisfied. What I didn't expect was that those teenagers actually ran back and called more teenagers, and they kept shouting "Do it again", "Dancing makes me feel happy! Haha, Yu Fei also asked me to dance again, but I was so hungry." I was too tired and had no strength left, so I didn’t want to jump anymore. The event ended with Xiaohong's song "Beginning to Understand" by Stefanie Sun. 2009? Three Going to the Countryside? Diary of Supporting Teaching (July 20-July 24)

After the lecture, I took Chunni to send the newsletter. This time it was a little faster than last time. . Watching her process of publishing, I found that sending newsletters was quite interesting. I watched with great interest as she sent the manuscripts to various newspapers or websites, and then thought about how to improve in this aspect when she went back. Haha! I’m so happy that I learned something again!

But I was unlucky when I went back to school. I actually lost the key to my motorcycle, so I had to drive Chunni back to look for it. Fortunately, Chunni could see it. Better than me, I was lucky enough to pick up the keys on the way. I was really tired at noon. I slept for a long time. After getting up in the afternoon, I cooked vegetables again. Now they all call me "Zhu Nan". In fact, cooking and cooking is just my hobby. Haha!

After dinner, I went to the beach again. The waves today were huge! There was only a little bit of beach left. It was so cool. I really wanted to go swimming! Under the interference of the children, I was swayed by the waves again and again. With one wash, I went through all kinds of hardships and finally wrote the words I wanted to write on the beach, and sent MMS messages to two good friends, expressing birthday wishes to Xiaobei and spiritual encouragement to Honglin.

During dance practice at night, I unexpectedly received a call from Brother Laden. I haven’t heard your voices for a long time. I miss you very much, 638 bosses. After taking a shower after the meeting, I leaned against the flagpole and looked at the stars in the sky. My favorite music was playing in the entire playground. I felt like I owned the whole world, but I was so lonely. Staring at a distant star and missing someone far away. I received several very warm blessings, and someone told me that she was lucky to know me. I'm really happy!

I have had three birthdays this year. The first time was my New Year birthday when the dance team got together. I became the cake man that night; the second time was In previous years, it would have been my birthday (this year it was postponed because there are two lunar months in May). A group of friends and I went to have a delicious chicken pot, and I became a cake person again. The third time is now my real birthday. I am alone. There is no birthday song or cake, only blessings from text messages and the aromatherapy lamp from Yu Fei. It is the first time in the five years since I have known Yu Fei that this pig has received her gift, regardless of it. No matter what, thank you for taking me to this beautiful little fishing village, meeting so many good people, and living such a meaningful life. This is the best gift you have given me.

Good night.
