Xinhua News Agency, Taiyuan, August 12 (Reporters Wei Biao, Chai Ting, Xue Ningjing) He is a "confidant grandfather" who can make introverted children cheerful; he is also an "almighty teacher" who can write, draw, sing and dance; It is also a "Mr. Wu" who brings children a safe and happy holiday and reassures parents.

  In Dongwuzhuang Village, Beishi Town, Gaoping City, Shanxi Province, Wu Fusheng, 79 years old this year, started the Youth Holiday Activity Center in 2012, allowing children in nearby villages to spend a happy, fulfilling and safe summer vacation every year.

——“There are more than 100 days of winter and summer vacations and weekends every year. Parents at home go out to work, not to mention the children’s study and education, safety is a big problem.”

  At about 8 in the morning, 79-year-old Wu Fusheng stood in front of the window of the Youth Holiday Activity Center in Dongwuzhuang Village, looking at the children who came running, showing a gratified smile.

  9-year-old Guo Yuxuan shouted "Sprint", and rushed into the classroom first. Looking at his watch, he was 20 minutes earlier than the class time.

Seeing Wu Fusheng, Guo Yuxuan said to Wu Fusheng who was nodding at him, "Hello, Teacher Wu!"

  "It's so boring to play with my phone and watch TV at home. No one is playing with me." Guo Yuxuan told reporters when asked why he came so early.

  Before his retirement, Wu Fusheng was a primary school teacher, and everyone in the village knew him.

Many parents of children who come to the activity center were his students.

Li Changnian, a 53-year-old villager, sent his grandson here.

"Mr. Wu taught me well. He taught me back then. Now my grandson comes here every day during the summer vacation." Li Changnian said.

  Speaking of the original intention of establishing the Youth Holiday Activity Center, Wu Fusheng said that in the winter of 2012, he saw the children in the village running around the village after the holiday, studying unattended, and very unsafe.

"Children have more than 100 days of winter and summer vacations and weekends every year, especially in the past two months of summer vacation. Parents go out to work, not to mention their children's study and education, safety is a big problem." Wu Fusheng said.

  How can children be able to learn while having fun and be safe during the holidays?

He came up with the idea of ​​opening a youth holiday center.

Wu Fusheng said that bringing the children together and taking them to play and study can solve the children's worries that they are prone to problems after the holiday.

  Wu Fusheng's idea was supported by relevant departments in the city and townships. The idle village-run primary school was renovated, with new desks and stools, computer teaching aids, and office supplies, and the ground was leveled and hardened... Before the summer of 2012, a A youth holiday activity center with complete functions and beginning to take shape has been completed.

——He was "especially careful" and "willing to spend money" in running school; in order to make his children's summer vacation exciting and rich, Mr. Wu learned the computer when he was in his 70s, and constantly updated the teaching content by checking the information on the Internet

  Since the summer vacation of 2012, Wu Fusheng organized 9 elderly people in the village to take the children to learn Chinese, mathematics, writing, painting, and singing according to their specialties. Wu Fusheng was mainly responsible for hard pen calligraphy, singing, and also took the children to practice boxing...

  The village cadre said that Wu Fusheng put his mind on the activity center. When he was not in class, he would also come here to clean the tables, chairs and benches, clean up the corners and corners of the courtyard, and open the doors of all the dark classrooms to ventilate...

  In order to improve the quality of teaching, he began to learn to surf the Internet when he was in his 70s, searched for information on the Internet, used a computer to type and write lesson plans and edit textbooks. He also learned to search and download videos and audios from the Internet to enrich the teaching content of courses such as singing, painting and dancing. .

  Some parents said that since their children participated in the center activities, they have become more sunny and more confident than before.

Wu Fusheng remembers that in the summer of 2012, a parent said that the child was introverted and withdrawn when he sent his daughter to the activity center.

After that, Wu Fusheng had many conversations with the child, and encouraged a classmate to make friends with the girl, do homework and play together.

Later, the girl changed a lot, she talked more, and her confidence in learning also improved.

Today, the girl works in a private company in Taiyuan.

  In the past 10 years, Wu Fusheng has brought more than 1,200 children.

For the children, he is "especially willing to spend money": Wu Fusheng has never charged students a cent for the teaching and activities of the Youth Holiday Activity Center. Rent a car to Wuxiang to visit the Eighth Route Army Taihang Memorial Hall.

  In order to save money for the center, Wu Fusheng "specially picks" the daily expenses. The towels, soap, tea cups, plates and dishes in the center office are all brought from his own home.

Anything the center needs, as long as the family has it, Wu Fusheng always takes it to the center.

  After 10 years, Wu Fusheng posted more than 20,000 yuan.

——The children have their own dreams here. They saw the difficulty of Teacher Wu. After they have achieved something, they came back to help Teacher Wu, which also strengthened the old man's confidence in running the activity center.

  In the past few years, some of the old people who came to help with teaching passed away, and some were too old to teach.

Especially this year, what bothers him the most is his eyes. Because he suffers from cataracts, he can't see clearly after writing a lesson plan for half an hour. He needs to rest for 15 minutes.

  But to Wu Fusheng's relief, some of the students who once studied here are now college students, and they are back, which makes him full of confidence in the future.

This summer, 6 college students came to the activity center to help.

  Zhang Zepeng, who studied at Shanxi University, is mainly responsible for legal education.

He said that it carried a lot of joy from his childhood.

In the activity center, Zhang Zepeng found a photo of himself 10 years ago.

Zhang Zepeng pointed to an old photo and said that this was the scene where he learned hard pen calligraphy with Teacher Wu in the fifth grade of primary school.

"When I was a child, I won a lot of prizes at the activity center, including notebooks, pens, and a desk lamp, which I used for many years later."

  10 years ago, Wu Yating came into contact with painting at the activity center. After two summers of study, she fell in love with painting.

"Mr. Wu once gave me critical guidance. Without him, I would not have been able to pass the painting entrance examination to university." Today, Wu Yating works in Beishi Town, Gaoping City. In the summer, she teaches children to paint in her spare time.

  Wu Fusheng said that he believed that more and more young people would join the volunteer team of the activity center to bring a better and happier summer vacation to Shanliwa.
