  Duan Lifu, Qian is the director of the county education bureau. This year, he was called "the director of breakdance" because of a breakdancing video that went viral all over the Internet.

However, compared to the experience of dancing "suddenly popular" in a dance, Duan Lifu is more proud of training many female hockey athletes in the local area.

  "I am not an internet celebrity, nor do I want to be an internet celebrity. My original intention of breaking dancing and giving inspirational speeches is to share some educational experience to help parents, teachers and students, so that everyone can pay attention to education and be a warm educator." Duan Lifu, 50, said that this year was unusual for him: a week before breakdancing became popular, he asked 81 off-campus training institutions across the county to suspend business for one month. The news broke and immediately caused an uproar in the local area.

Dancing became popular

  "I'm the same boy from before"

  From March 20 this year, as the new director of Qianwei County Education Bureau, Duan Lifu began to organize a series of educational themed activities "Run a good school at your doorstep".

On the morning of April 10th, the fourth event of the series was held at Qianwei No.1 Middle School.

After Duan Lifu gave a speech on the theme "Chinese Youth in the New Era-Thanking Parents for Touching Yourself", he played a random song of Michael Jackson's "Beat it" and performed an impromptu breakdance for two minutes.

  In the subsequent interactive session, Duan Lifu answered the students' questions in detail, and even disclosed private contact information.

"Not only this one, but every one I disclosed my phone number. At present, more than 3,000 teachers, students and parents have added my WeChat account. If there are any problems, they will communicate with me and report them." Duan Lifu said, the problem mainly involves Teachers’ ethics, family responsibilities, learning methods, etc. also have anxiety about family education.

  "The purpose of dancing on stage is to relieve the pressure of senior high school students who are facing the college entrance examination, so that they can lay down their burdens and take the exam easily." Duan Lifu said that he learned breakdancing in the early 1990s when he was 18 years old and the age of his classmates. almost.

"I want to tell my classmates by dancing that I also came from the green years." Speaking of this, Duan Lifu once again sang "Youth" in front of the reporter's camera: "I'm the same boy before, without a trace of change... …"

  In 1971, Duan Lifu was born in Qiyi Village, Qingxi Town, Qianwei County. Both his father and mother were farmers.

"I was educated in rural areas since I was a child. My father was illiterate and my mother had only read the third grade of elementary school. In 1989, I was admitted to Qianwei Normal School. At that time, it was the booming age of the'Little Tigers'. I studied folk dance, Modern dance, break dance, and also learned speech, painting, musical instruments, three-stroke calligraphy, etc." Duan Lifu said.

  "For me from a rural background, when I was a teacher in a normal school, it was like'jumping the dragon'." Duan Lifu said that after graduating from normal school in 1992, he taught in elementary, junior and high schools, and then went to teach in ethnic areas. After completing the postgraduate course of continuing education, he served as the deputy principal of No. 1 Middle School and the deputy director of the county education bureau. "These teaching experiences have left me with a brand-to be a warm educator, and to bring the most intimate and high-quality students to the students. Interactive education."

Refuse to broadcast

  "Because I am an educator"

  Che Qimeng, Qianwei No.1 High School 2021 science class student, was also a member of Director Duan Lifu's live speech on April 10.

In the college entrance examination this year, Che Qimeng was admitted to the preventive medicine major of Peking University School of Public Health with a score of 685.

This is Qianwei's first student admitted to Peking University in the past ten years.

  Duan Lifu has been engaged in education for 20 years. Together with the Qianwei No. 1 Middle School team, he trained 7 students to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Speaking of Che Qimeng, Duan Lifu repeatedly gave his thumbs up and said bluntly, "I don't want to take credit": "Che Qimeng's good results are more due to his personal hard work and home school education. It happened that he listened to me on the eve of the college entrance examination. With the help of teachers and parents, his speech helped him relax. As an educator, I am also proud of this honor."

  Duan Lifu's WeChat name is Duan Lang.

"In my impression, this is the nickname given to me by the 2003 class of Qianwei No. 1 Middle School, because I often stand in the corridor, silently watching my classmates go to self-study. Over time, they affectionately call me'Duan Lang'." In the eyes of the students, Duan Lifu is humorous, versatile, knowledgeable and easy to get close to.

"When I was teaching in Qianwei No. 1 Middle School, I would perform break dancing to boost the morale of the students every time before the college entrance examination." Duan Lifu said.

  After becoming popular, Duan Lifu became a local celebrity, and almost no one knew it.

On campus or on the street, someone will always greet him.

Of course, there is also the temptation from the Internet.

Duan Lifu said that after breaking dance videos became popular on the Internet, many organizations and platforms contacted him, "Some invited me to give live lectures, some asked me to live broadcast the goods, and some even directly said the payment: 10 live broadcasts. Ten thousand yuan. I refused, because I am an educator and I don’t want to be an internet celebrity trapped by traffic."

 Remediation training

  Keep students and parents away from education anxiety

  On February 28 this year, Duan Lifu took the post of Qianwei County Education Bureau Director.

Soon, the Qianwei County Education Bureau issued a notice: The 81 off-campus training institutions in the county will "completely suspend business for rectification" from April 2nd.

This is the country's first "New Deal" to publicly suspend training institutions.

At the same time, the official WeChat public account of "Jianwei Education" publicly shouted "warning bells" to some of the tutors participating in off-campus training institutions: Jianwei teachers pay attention!

  With the introduction of the New Education Policy, Duan Lifu also received a lot of feedback.

He said: "I heard many voices, some affirmations, praises, praises, but also mocks, criticisms, and doubts. I know exactly what I am doing, what I should insist on, and what I should stick to."

  In Duan Lifu's view, students and parents should stay away from educational "utilitarian" and educational "anxiety", "regulate the management of off-campus training institutions, but also improve the quality of classroom teaching, return to the main position of education, and increase the enthusiasm of teachers and students."

  While rectifying off-campus training institutions, Duan Lifu also advocated another thing-to expand Qianwei County Education Development Fund.

"Adopting the method of'government investment + social donation', starting from 2021, Qianwei County's fiscal budget will be 10 million yuan per year, and all walks of life will raise 10 million yuan, reaching 100 million yuan within 5 years, and all the proceeds from the fund will be used to support education developing."

  In July of this year, the Ministry of Education began to implement the "double reduction" policy, aimed at effectively reducing the burden of excessive homework and off-campus training for students in compulsory education.

To promote the implementation of "double subtraction" work, Duan Lifu believes that "double subtraction" is not just a subtraction, but a combination of "addition", "subtraction", "multiplication" and "division".

"Classroom enhancement uses the'addition' method to add thinking, activities, expansion, and interaction; classroom happiness uses multiplication, multiplication of form, concentration, accomplishment, and dedication; classroom management uses division to eliminate laziness, confusion, anxiety, and complaints."

  Duan Lifu said that, as the director of education, he will continue to fulfill his duties as an educator, and treat Qianwei as a pilot area for educational evaluation reform, so that exam-oriented education can be truly transformed into quality education, and students' artistic accomplishment, cultural accomplishment, and comprehensive ability will be improved.
