  Entering December, the morning on the Eastern Henan Plain became more and more cold.

At around 4 in the morning, before the dawn of the sky meant, the 50-year-old Lu Wenjian walked towards the school along the path next to the wheat field, leaning on his blind cane.

As a history teacher at the No. 3 Junior Middle School in Zhanji Town, Yucheng County, Shangqiu City, he didn't need to come so early, but he didn't walk slowly for more than three miles, in order to hear the sound of students studying earlier.

"Wife and student became my eyes"

  "As soon as Allegro started, my friends listened to me: 1.7 million years ago, the ancient Yuanmou was in Yunnan. Two kinds of ancient people have appeared in Zhoukoudian, southwest of Beijing..." Lu Wenjian sang a brief history of China holding Allegro in the classroom. The atmosphere began to liven up.

After all, the Allegro in his hand has been "working" for 26 years.

  At the age of 19, Lu Wenjian, who dreamed of becoming a teacher, was admitted to Shangqiu Teachers College with excellent grades. After graduation, he gave up the opportunity to work in the city and stepped onto the three-foot podium of a rural school.

As a teaching recruit, he works hard, staying up late to prepare lessons is commonplace.

In October 1994, due to a high fever and excessive eye use, his right eye detached from the retina, which recurred quickly after the operation until he was completely blind, and his left eye only had 0.01 vision.

  "The doctor persuaded me to give up teaching, saying that I could not even keep my eyesight." Lu Wenjian recalled, as a teacher but could not see the textbooks, the darkness in front of him seemed to be announcing the early end of his teaching career. When he was young, all his thoughts were lost.

  His girlfriend Zhang Jiuying, who had met him not long ago, rushed to see him, but he was afraid of delaying the other party and expressed his intention to break up.

Unexpectedly, his girlfriend took a fancy to his character, couldn't bear to leave, and soon married him.

She encouraged Lu Wenjian, saying that she could help with reading textbooks, so as not to delay teaching.

  The students also came to see him and encouraged him with the story of Ostrovsky and Beethoven that Lu Wenjian had told, "If they can do it, you can do it, we will read for you, and you will continue. Teach us!"

  Faced with these sincere encouragement, he regained his confidence and courage, "For the students, try it."

  Once, twice, up to three times, after his wife has read it, Lu Wenjian will be able to repeat the general course content.

Hope, yes.

  When he returned to the first class in the classroom, he remembered still fresh, those familiar applause came back, and the students still gathered around themselves to ask questions, and the remaining glimmer in his eyes seemed to brighten up.

  From then on, in the voice of his wife and students, Lu Wenjian began his career as a teacher who "borrowed his eyes" to prepare lessons, which lasted 27 years in a blink of an eye.

Playing cards, Allegro and chalk become the "three treasures of teaching"

  "I like to listen to students reading, even if there is no my class, I will come so early." In the classroom that is not yet fully warmed up, Lu Wenjian paced back and forth.

  "The school permits me not to write lesson plans, but I have to have lesson plans in my heart." Lu Wenjian said, a lesson, how to design the beginning, what stories are interspersed, how to deal with the end... These all need to be sorted out in my mind in advance.

  "I am getting older now and my memory is diminishing. I need several times as much time as someone else prepares for an hour." Although many students signed up, Lu Wenjian was worried about taking up students' study time, so only in the break, early reading, etc. He will let the students take turns to assist him in preparing lessons when he is not in class.

In addition, the reading software on the mobile phone has also begun to help.

  In the office, Lin Luying, a student in Class 92, is preparing for Lu Wen's mid-term exam questions, "Reading to Teacher Lu is a very interesting and meaningful thing. Even if I read it every day, I won't be bored."

  According to Yin Xiaoxiao, a ninth grade student, Teacher Lu taught her not to give up even if life is cruel to her.

  Because of eye problems, Lu Wenjian couldn't see every student clearly, so he used playing cards to draw lots and asked questions randomly.

In order to attract students' attention, he also compiled the content of the teaching materials into jingle and allegro, and sang them in class. The unique "Allegro teaching" is very popular among students.

  Under the blackboard, layers of chalk and gray he practiced calligraphy were piled up; on the playground, he and his students were walking while chatting about the past, present, and future.

  Over the years, more than 4,000 students have studied for him, and he is grateful for that.

His history class has become a famous local high-quality course, and many students have been admitted to prestigious universities after graduating from high school.

In the letters written by the graduates to Lu Wenjian, there are endless gratitude and respect between the lines.

Doom struck again, he insisted on helping students chase their dreams

  In March of this year, bad luck struck again, and his wife Zhang Jiuying was diagnosed with cancer.

But in class, he still smiled, singing allegro and telling stories.

  In his spare time, he took care of his wife attentively and encouraged her to have confidence and courage to overcome the illness... Just like 27 years ago, his wife encouraged him by the side.

  Years of savings and loans from multiple sources have been put into treatment one after another, and the pressure of mountains and seas makes people breathless.

  Some of the graduates whom Lu Wenjian had taught, gave him condolences and were declined one by one.

A staff member of a crowdfunding platform for a serious illness suggested that he raise funds, but was also declined.

"I can figure out my own way and don't rely on others." Lu Wenjian said, there is no road to human beings. Instead of suffering and sadness, it is better to face it positively.

  Before the hospital bed, he sang allegro for his wife to relieve boredom. After the leave was over, he hurried back to school.

  "As a teacher, I understand why he can't leave the podium." Despite such a predicament, his wife always reminded him not to delay students in class.

  Yes, he loves the classroom and likes to be with these simple and simple students.

As a rural teacher, he knows that it is not easy for rural children to go to school. In order to encourage them to study hard, he set up "Dream Aid Award" at his own expense, ranging from a few yuan, dozens of yuan, and hundreds of yuan, so that students can taste the sweetness of progress. .

The distribution of the "Dream Aid Award" has not been interrupted for every quiz, until today.

  The weather forecast shows that a new round of cooling weather will come to Yucheng again. At the gate of Zhanji Town No. 3 Middle School, the greenery in the wheat fields is getting thicker.
