　　On April 18, 1.6 million teachers and students in primary and secondary schools and kindergartens (nursery institutions) in Foshan (excluding schools and kindergartens in the closed, control and prevention areas) resumed classes.

Early this morning, more than 100 teachers in the east campus of Huanhu Primary School in Chancheng District received a special "small homework": Zheng Jingwen, a teacher of the school's physical education department, used the Douyin video to instruct the teachers to write "Fighting Together" Epidemic" These four chalk characters are both appropriate and heart-warming.

　　All media reporters from Guangzhou Daily learned that in the east campus of Huanhu Primary School in Chancheng District, "our Chinese teacher's calligraphy is taught by the physical education teacher" is not a joke, but a special practice that this primary school has continued for 5 years. .

　　The story begins in 2017, when Qicha Primary School, the predecessor of Huanhu Primary School's east campus, started the reconstruction and expansion, and Xia Qiuling became the school's preparation leader.

Xia Qiuling said: "In the past, Qicha Primary School was a village-run primary school with only 8 classes, but there were only more than 20 teachers. At that time, when I was planning to build a new school building, I learned that physical education teacher Zheng Jingwen had a hobby of calligraphy and would often Practicing calligraphy in the sports office."

　　To this end, Xia Qiuling had an idea: why not let Teacher Zheng use his strengths to teach other teachers to practice calligraphy?

After hearing this proposal, Zheng Jingwen suddenly became interested and started the story of "physical education teacher teaching calligraphy".

　　Zheng Jingwen's calligraphy hobby started in 1984, when Zheng Jingwen, who was just a fledgling, became a physical education teacher not long ago.

In his spare time, he went to Foshan Youth Palace to study calligraphy for three months, and became attached to calligraphy since then.

Later, he continued to study and practice, and his calligraphy level gradually improved. During the winter vacation, he also wrote Spring Festival couplets to give to everyone.

Today, in addition to his identity as a physical education teacher, Zheng Jingwen is also a member of the Foshan Calligraphy Association.

　　"The hardness of chalk and brush is different, and the position of the pen will affect the font." Zheng Jingwen said that at the beginning, it often took him nearly two hours to complete the instruction of 4 chalk characters, and he had to teach the teachers at night. handwritten comments on assignments, sometimes until the early hours of the morning.

　　"Now I publish 5 homework videos every week, and shooting these 5 videos takes about two classes, that is, an hour and a half." The reporter learned that Zheng Jingwen has published nearly 400 videos on his Douyin account.

With the development of the school, the number of teachers has grown from more than 20 at the beginning to more than 100 today, but the tradition of practicing calligraphy has continued.

　　How effective is the physical education teacher teaching calligraphy?

Zheng Jingwen said with a smile: "Some teachers were very shy at first and couldn't let go of their hands and feet. Later, the more they wrote, the more beautiful they became, and they often came to ask me. The progress was very fast." What's more interesting is to see "our Chinese teacher's calligraphy is sports. After the teacher taught", many students were also infected. In addition to the school's daily calligraphy class, they also spontaneously followed Zheng Jingwen's Douyin account, followed the video and practiced calligraphy, and then asked Zheng Jingwen to comment.

　　One thing persisted for 5 years, what is the secret behind it?

Zheng Jingwen told reporters: "Hobby is the best teacher."
