The three generations of people's education publishing house are thinking and practicing.

This is a career worth fighting for
Narrator: Wei Zhirong, member of the Party Committee of People's Education Press and former editor-in-chief
Time flies. December 1, 2020 is the 70th anniversary of the founding of People's Education Press. I have retired for more than two years.
On November 30th, I was encouraged by General Secretary Xi Jinping’s reply to the old comrades of the People’s Education Society, encouraging everyone to "carry forward the fine traditions, promote reforms and innovations, and create excellent textbooks that create souls with bacon and inspire wisdom and wisdom". Mixed feelings.
38 years ago, I graduated from Beijing Normal University and I was assigned to work in the Geography Office of the General Education Editorial Department of the People’s Education Society. With a novel and nervous mood, I experienced many "firsts": the first time I participated in high school geography textbooks. In the discussion meeting, the then editor-in-chief Ye Liqun affirmed my views on the revision of the chapter of "vegetation, soil and natural belts" in high school geography; for the first time I stood on the podium of Yucai Middle School to give lectures to students and wrote their names on the blackboard; The first time I went to Xinjiang with the old director Mr. Chen Ershou to participate in the summer activities of the Chinese Geographical Society. After Mr. Chen finished his lecture, I became an assistant teacher to answer the teachers’ questions about the chapter "Earth in the Universe" in the high school geography textbook; I replied to the readers. I went through a lot of university textbooks to understand the geography questions the readers asked. After writing the reply, I asked the deputy director of the Geography Office to modify it, and then copied it again before sending it... Once", I only grew up step by step.
While learning from old editors, I also pay attention to learning from teachers on the front line of teaching.
I have more contact with geography teachers, and I often observe from the side how they prepare, teach, and evaluate lessons. This is of great help to grasp the suitability of teaching materials when compiling teaching materials.
After studying and practicing in the university of the People's Education Society, I understood the particularity and importance of the publication of textbooks, and understood that a qualified textbook editor must have love, patience and perseverance.
The research and compilation of teaching materials is our responsibility and glory, and it is a career worth striving for all our lives.
In a long and fulfilling career, I have personally experienced many important historical moments in the People's Education Society.
The most impressive is the curriculum reform that began in 2001.
The intensity of this reform is unprecedented. The Ministry of Education requires: through the guidance of teaching materials, help teachers change the "indoctrination" education method, and focus on cultivating students' independent learning, cooperation, and inquiry capabilities.
How to make the teaching materials innovate from the system structure to the presentation method and meet the requirements of the new curriculum reform?
I discussed repeatedly with my colleagues and worked day and night.
I often think that textbooks are compulsory books for students. We can only be worthy of students if we use all our skills and strength to compile high-quality textbooks.
Today, I have retired from my post, but the responsibility cannot be retired.
I will earnestly understand the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important reply, especially the profound meaning of "continuing struggle" and "promoting fine traditions". I will pass on the professional knowledge and skills I have accumulated throughout my life to the latecomers and help them to shine better. Take responsibility.
Mr. Ye Shengtao often said that compiling teaching materials can’t "all the vegetables in the basket"
Narrator: Liu Lide, Member of the Party Committee and Editor of People's Education Publishing House
In a reply to the old comrades of the People's Education Society, General Secretary Xi Jinping spoke highly of the positive contributions that the People's Education Society has made since its establishment 70 years ago, and placed high hopes for the future development of the People's Education Society.
Affectionate encouragement and ardent anticipation strengthened my determination to devote myself to the editing and research of teaching materials and educational books.
I grew up reading the primary and secondary school textbooks of Renjiaoshe.
At the undergraduate and graduate level, I studied in education, and the textbooks I used were mainly the People's Education Edition.
At that time, my classmates and I often went to the Reader Service Department of the People's Education Club in the back street of the beach to buy books, many of which have been collected today.
I didn't expect that I would later participate in the revision and reprinting of these books, and I didn't expect it would last 30 years.
Generations of editors have continued to struggle and have achieved a set of classic textbooks and branded books.
Over the past 70 years, the People's Education Society has established a branded educational book publishing system focusing on education and psychology, relying on academic advantages, author advantages and resource advantages, and has played an important role in serving education, promoting scientific research, promoting academics, and prospering culture. It plays an important role in disseminating scientific knowledge of education and promoting the innovation of educational theory and practice.
In the past 70 years, there have been magnificent waves and advancing with the times. The People's Education Society has formed an excellent social style of dedication, rigor, unity and innovation.
The old president Mr. Ye Shengtao often said that compiling textbooks cannot "all vegetables in the basket".
His poem "Can keep the reader in the chest, diligently and taste the sweetness" concentratedly reflects the social style of the people, education, society.
It is precisely by virtue of the glorious tradition of collaboration between the people-to-people and educational organizations and the excellent style of transmission and leadership that I have gradually grown up with the encouragement and encouragement of my predecessors, and gradually entered the palace of editing and publishing.
Now, I have grown from a young student who just left school to a senior editor of the People's Education Society. I am fortunate to contribute to the editing and research of teaching materials and educational books of the Republic. This is inseparable from the hard guidance of the older generation of editors.
As a generation that inherits the past, I will take the study and implementation of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important letter of reply as a new starting point, keep in mind the general secretary’s entrustment, anchor the course, inherit the tradition, adhere to the morality, and strive to promote the reform and innovation of the editing, research and publication of teaching materials and educational books. , To add luster to the education that satisfies the people and make new contributions.
There is always the theme of Lide Shuren in my heart
Narrator: Wang Benhua, former director and editor of the Chinese Editorial Office of Middle School, People's Education Press
On November 30th, more than 40 experts from the Chinese editing room of the middle school and outside the society were holding a discussion meeting on the optional textbooks for high school Chinese. Good news came: General Secretary Xi Jinping wrote back to the old comrades of the People's Education Society!
We immediately learned the content of the reply, and were extremely excited for the general secretary's affirmation of the work of the People's Education and Education Society, and felt proud and proud of being a member of the teaching material construction team, and deeply felt the great responsibility.
I joined the People's Education Society in 1990. At that time, it was at the critical moment of compiling nine-year compulsory education textbooks, and I immediately devoted myself to the intense textbook compilation work.
Although young, but with the care of the old gentlemen, the tradition of being taught by the community, soon entered the role.
I still remember a group of proud news works compiled at that time: one is the news "I won the first gold medal in the Olympics", one is the newsletter "Glorious, the gunshots of the Prado", the other is the commentary "Farewell , 0!
".
The three articles show the pride of the Chinese people vividly and vividly. After the students have finished reading, how can patriotism not arise spontaneously!
Today, I have served the cause of writing textbooks for 30 years. I have participated in or presided over the compilation of compulsory education junior high school language textbooks, two provinces and one city high school language textbooks, curriculum standards, junior and senior high school language textbooks, and compiled junior and high school language textbooks. Walk in a hurry.
However, no matter how rushed, he never dared to forget the heavy responsibility in the depths of the soul-compiling high-quality textbooks and educating socialist builders and successors.
Especially since the start of the compilation of the three subject textbooks in 2012, as the executive editor or sub-book editor, I dare not relax a little, because I always have the main theme of Lide Shuren in my heart.
From the overall framework of the teaching material, the arrangement of the columns, to each selection of the unit and each student system, we have repeated discussions, carefully designed and carefully polished with the spirit of craftsmanship in pursuit of perfection and the ultimate.
The rigorous knowledge and ability system of the junior high school textbooks, the comprehensive and practical implementation of the language, the connection between in-class and extracurricular language life, the advocacy of reading interest and reading habits, the high school textbook’s attention to classic selections, and contextual task activities The emphasis and the pursuit of ability integration have fully reflected the new requirements of Chinese teaching in the new era.
Education is a century-old plan based on the present and focusing on the future. The construction of teaching materials is a basic project for running education and enlightening people's minds. Chinese teaching materials are the fundamental guarantee for the formation of the common memory of the nation and the use of the motherland's spoken and written language.
As a writer and researcher of Chinese course textbooks, we will focus on the fundamental task of Lide to cultivate people, use the motherland’s language to cultivate the roots of culture, use classic works to cultivate the spirit of the nation, and use high-quality textbooks to build the soul of education. The new era records the progress of Chinese education.
Always maintain the style of walking on thin ice and stopping at perfection
Narrator: He Zhiwen, Editor of the Primary Chinese Editing Office of People's Education Press
When I was young, whenever the teacher took over the teaching materials published by the Education Society from the teacher at the beginning of the school year, my friends and I could not wait to cover the teaching materials, and solemnly write down the names on the title page.
From that moment on, the ignorant soul has firmly believed that the things in the textbook will eventually become my own wealth and accompany me to grow up throughout my life.
Today, I have become an ordinary elementary school Chinese textbook editor. My name has been printed on the textbook. With the brand of "People's Education Press", I traveled all over the country's villages, cities and towns.
To me, the teaching materials of the People's Education Society are not only good partners in growth, but also a responsibility and mission in life.
Writing high-quality textbooks is a continuing business.
Over the past 70 years, experts from the People's Educational Society have gathered together, and the tradition of "editing and researching together, and establishing academic society" has created a large number of popular classic texts and formed a rich system of editing cases. This is the "rich ore" for our young editors to absorb nutrition.
I remember that when I first joined the agency, the old editor told us earnestly that textbooks are not ordinary publications, and there can be no slight mistakes and stubbornness. Choosing to be an editor of the People's Education Club is to choose a high standard and strict attitude, and you must keep walking on thin ice. Stop at the perfect style.
This unremitting pursuit of high-quality has become a group portrait of generations of education club staff who have been working hard, condensed between the lines of the textbooks of various subjects.
It is a heavy responsibility to compile teaching materials that satisfy the people.
The People's Education Society is named after the "people", with the purpose of serving the people, and has a readership of hundreds of millions of generations.
Compiling textbooks that can withstand the scrutiny and questioning of readers is not only the source of motivation for every editor of the People's Education Society, but also the loyal practice of taking the responsibility of "satisfying the people".
I still remember one time I received a call from a reader asking whether the hook of the word "gua" should be connected with the noodle. Why is there a slight difference in the strokes of the word "gua" in the textbook?
Faced with such a professional question, I was at a loss as I was studying modern literature, so I had to ask the "big guys" in the society to answer them, and secretly made up my mind to use my spare time to "make up for evil."
Some people may ask, in the era of detailed division of labor, why should an ordinary editor learn non-professional knowledge and do so much hard work of contacting readers?
I think that's because the editors of the People's Education Society always have readers in their hearts, and the name of the People's Education Society can never be separated from the "people".
It is a glorious mission to compile teaching materials worthy of the times.
The teaching materials are related to "what kind of person to cultivate", "how to cultivate people" and "for whom to cultivate people".
The general secretary put forward the requirement of “creating excellent textbooks with bacon casting soul and enlightening wisdom and wisdom” to the People's Education Society. This is not only the fundamental follow for teaching materials in the new era, but also the glorious mission of every employee of the education society.
We will keep in mind the general secretary's request, firm and correct the direction of textbook compilation, inherit the glorious tradition of the People's Education Society, bury our heads in our career, shoulder responsibilities, fulfill our mission, and dedicate quality textbooks worthy of the times.
