  China News Service, Beijing, September 10 (Reporter Xing Rui) September 10 this year is not only the Mid-Autumn Festival for family reunion, but also the annual Teachers' Day.

"Teachers, preaching and receiving karma will also solve puzzles." On the road of everyone's growth, the dedication and cultivation of teachers are indispensable.

  In this festival that belongs to educators, we interviewed four teachers who were born in different eras of "post-60s", "post-70s", "post-80s" and "post-90s" but are still active in teaching, TA While dedicating everything to the cause of education, they are also moved by the innocence and cuteness of the children.

Teacher Ye: Naughty students also care about others

  Ye Qingqing, 54, is an English teacher in the third grade.

In the 31 years of teaching, Mr. Ye can be described as "the world is full of peaches and plums".

But so far, what impresses her deeply is not a "student master" who is excellent in every subject, but a little boy who is often naughty in class and deliberately makes the teacher angry.

  Teacher Ye still remembers that in the summer of 1999, the sultry air was mingled with lively cicadas.

Because of the exhaustion, he caught a bad cold, was dizzy and weak, and had to ask for leave to rest at home for two days.

When she returned to work, she found that the desk was very clean and tidy: "I thought it was my colleague who helped to clean up."

  When she opened the drawer, she saw a note that she would never forget: "Head teacher, you have worked hard day and night for our study and life, and you have become ill... I used to deliberately make troubles and anger you when I did bad things, think about what I did. What I do, I am really not a human being. From now on, I will change my past, not only to take care of myself, but also to take care of our class together with you." The signature is: "You are the most naughty boy."

  Looking at the tender handwriting, Teacher Ye burst into tears: "It turns out that naughty children also care about me everywhere."

  After many years, this naughty boy must have also started a family and started a job.

I wonder if he will also think of the teacher Ye who was touched by him at some inadvertent moment?

  Mr. Ye, who is approaching retirement age, sums up his teaching career with a poem: "The silkworm in spring is dead, and the torch turns to ashes and tears begin to dry. Since teaching for more than 30 years, I have dedicated knowledge, wisdom and love to my students."

teacher Zhang: Because of work, I owe my children

  In the eyes of many people, a language teacher has a gentle temperament and exudes elegance in his gestures.

Zhang Yi, 47 years old this year, is a gentle, patient and enthusiastic Chinese teacher in the eyes of the children.

After 25 years of silent dedication to the students, Mr. Zhang was also surrounded by the warmth of the children.

  During the May 1st holiday in 2018, Mr. Zhang, who went out to participate in the air volleyball game, accidentally injured his foot and was recuperating in the hospital after the operation.

What she did not expect was that more than 50 students in the class came to the hospital with flowers and fruits.

  Seeing the teacher lying on the hospital bed, the children touched her injured leg and asked distressedly, "Teacher, does it hurt? We miss you, wish you a speedy recovery..." Zhang Yi was deeply moved by the actions of the students .

  At school, Zhang Yi is a good teacher with due diligence, but for her daughter Yueyue, her mother, who is deeply loved by her students, cannot accompany her all the time.

Missing her daughter's growth, Zhang Yi felt very guilty: "I feel that I owe my child a lot, so sometimes the child is naughty and playful, and I am quite tolerant."

  Because her mother was too busy with work, Yueyue was raised by her grandparents since she was a child.

During Yueyue's student days, the mother and daughter did not spend much time together.

Maybe it's a lack of understanding of each other, sometimes arguing with her mother, Yueyue will think aggrieved: "You haven't dealt with me much, why do you come to control my thoughts now."

  Such thoughts continued until Yueyue became an adult.

After going to college, she also understood the hardships and difficulties of her mother's work, and the mother-daughter relationship eased a lot.

Teacher Yang: I put on a student's dance dress

  When I was a student, I am afraid that many people did not like to take math classes.

However, if your math teacher can mingle with students like Mr. Yang, it may reduce the fear of math for many students.

  Yang Li, born in the 1980s, is a math teacher in a middle school. Her round face often has a bright smile on her face.

The relationship between Mr. Xiao Yang and his classmates is not only a teacher-student, but sometimes more like a friend across the generation gap.

  One week before the high school entrance examination, Mr. Xiao Yang rode a battery car to school as usual.

Unexpectedly, it rained heavily halfway. In order not to delay the students' class, Teacher Xiao Yang rushed to the classroom in the rain, but he was also soaked by the heavy rain.

  Teacher Yang stepped onto the podium and started to talk about the test paper, but the whole class said in unison, "Mr. Yang, let's study by ourselves in this class. Your clothes are soaking wet, so go to the dormitory and change your clothes!" A girl ran up to the podium with a plastic bag, took out a set of silver dancing skirts from the bag, and whispered to her, "Teacher, put on my dance skirt, don't catch a cold." Then several girls couldn't help but say Pull Yang Li out of the classroom.

  When Yang Li stepped onto the podium in a flowing dance dress, thunderous applause broke out in the classroom: "I burst into tears. It turns out that the children love me and care about me from the bottom of their hearts."

  On September 10 this year, Mr. Yang ushered in his 19th Teacher's Day: "Every year today, I am immersed in joy. Students and parents will send messages to greet me, wishing me smooth work and eternal youth."

Teacher Zhao: Students want to introduce me to someone

  If you were to pick one of the most popular courses in your student days, physical education would probably be on the list.

Becoming a physical education teacher is also a fantastic journey full of surprises for 31-year-old Zhao Peng.

  He studied physical education in college. After graduation, he returned to his hometown to become a physical education teacher who was "frequently ill in the legend, but only as fierce as a tiger during the sports meeting".

  Zhao Peng is mainly responsible for the physical education teaching in the third grade of primary school.

In the hearts of the children, he is like a big brother, and Zhao Peng also wants to instill the concept of happy sports in the students: "I am not strict in class, I just want them to experience the joy of sports."

  Soon, Zhao Peng became the "King of Children" in the school, but this group of little kids were worried about Zhao Peng's marriage and love issue: "I don't know which kid knows that I haven't been in a relationship yet, and it's not easy for me to fall in love. The glorious image built up in the hearts of the students was shattered."

  There are also more enthusiastic classmates, who said that they would introduce their cousins ​​and aunts to him: "It made me laugh and cry, and my face became hot. But when I think about it, I am also very moved. Children are simple and care about you, I hope you can live. To live well and to be happy is a very pure and very simple emotion, so I also cherish it very much."

  Fortunately, not long after the student tried to introduce him to a girlfriend, he met someone who would stay with him for the rest of his life.

Now, the two are also about to enter the marriage hall.

  From Teacher Ye of the "post-60s" to Teacher Zhao of the "post-90s", countless educators have dedicated themselves in ordinary teaching positions, and are tireless in teaching others.

  It has been said that education is one tree shaking another tree, one cloud pushing another cloud, and one soul awakening another.

Teaching is the means, and educating people is the goal. Such a sacred historical mission and responsibility will also be passed on from generation to generation of teachers.
