She has won many honorary titles such as provincial "Garden Award" and national excellent teacher. She is a famous special-grade teacher in Yumen City and even Jiuquan City, but she chose to give up in the face of repeated opportunities to enter the city.
She is Yang Yonghuan, principal of Erdaogou Primary School in Liuhe Township, Yumen City.
1977 In the spring, Yang Yonghuan boarded the rostrum for the first time and looked at the lively and lovely children. She secretly made up her mind to be a good teacher who is popular with students, reassuring parents and recognized by the society. In the first few years of her work, she taught Grade 12. During the day, she consulted the old teacher, and at night, she pondered the teaching methods to adapt to the lower-grade children in rural areas. She soon became an expert in teaching in the school, and her classroom performance was always among the best in the town.
At school, Yang Yonghuan is not only the enlightener of children's knowledge, but also the guide of their hearts.
In the autumn of 1980, a student named Li Jian was assigned to her class. His clothes are old and worn, and his hands and face are dirty. None of his classmates want to play with him. When Yang Yonghuan inquired, it turned out that Li Jian had lost his mother since childhood, and his father had been running around for a living all the year round and didn't care about him at all. After learning this situation, she took special care of Li Jian, changing and mending his clothes in her spare time to cultivate his self-care ability; Ask him to answer some simple questions in class and often praise and encourage him. Under her care, Li Jian has made rapid progress. Many years later, Yang Yonghuan received a letter from the army, which began with the following words: "Teacher Yang, let me call you mom, please accept your son, a soldier, and extend my highest respect to you! It is you who let me out of the shadow of life and out of inferiority; You made me feel the warmth of maternal love and taught me to strive for self-improvement ... "This soldier is Li Jian.
In rural areas, several students are unable to report on time every semester because of their poor families. Yang Yonghuan and his colleagues went to the village again and again to persuade and mobilize them to return to school.
1995, zhangyan, a fifth-grade student at Xujiagou Primary School where she was at that time, was unable to go to school because her mother was blind and her father was seriously ill. In order not to let zhangyan drop out of school, Yang Yonghuan went to zhangyan's home, sent 200 yuan money to zhangyan's father, and told zhangyan's father that she would bear all the tuition fees in zhangyan in the future. After listening to Yang Yonghuan's words, the 500-year-old man shed tears. He took Yang Yonghuan's hand and said, "Miss Yang, please. No matter how difficult it is at home, I have to let my children study. " In the days to come, no matter whether zhangyan was in primary school or middle school, Yang Yonghuan paid tuition and fees and books for zhangyan in time, and also gave her her daughter's clothes and stationery.
The learning situation in zhangyan was originally in the middle and lower reaches. Under the care of Yang Yonghuan, his academic performance has made great progress. After graduating from junior high school, she was admitted to a secondary school, and now she has a good job. Yang Yonghuan said: "What makes me happy is that the children I persuaded basically didn't drop out of school again." In her 28-year education career, Yang Yonghuan had been sad, confused, hard and bumpy, but she told reporters that what she gained the most was the happiness of being a teacher, and what she was most satisfied with was the sense of accomplishment as a teacher. She said that although the work is hard, it is very fulfilling. There is joy after hard work, and happiness after hard work. Every time on the eve of New Year's Day, Spring Festival and Teacher's Day, I received letters or greeting cards from former students, or received their phone calls. A warm greeting and a beautiful blessing made her burst into tears, which also strengthened her confidence and made her stand on the three-foot platform in the rural classroom with passion.
After 1985, her family unfortunately followed.
First, I found out that my lovely daughter had a birth defect, and then my husband died suddenly. Many relatives and friends came to comfort her to leave this remote rural primary school, not for herself, but for her children. To this end, she wavered and had the idea of giving up, but in the face of the eager eyes of the children, she decided to stay.
1989 In the summer, my frail daughter got acute hepatitis again. My daughter was hospitalized in Yumen town for more than a month, which was the day when the graduating class faced the senior high school entrance examination. She entrusted people to take care of her daughter during the day, insisted on going to work as usual, rode her bike at night and drove more than 20 kilometers to the hospital to visit her daughter. Every day at dawn, she goes to school by bike. Every time I see my daughter crying, she feels heart-wrenching pain. After all, the child is only 4 years old. Relatives scolded her: "For other people's dolls, you don't care about your own dolls. What do you want? " Facing the incomprehension of relatives and friends, she was speechless, because only she understood what it was for!
It is Yang Yonghuan's dream to let rural children have their own "electronic classrooms" like urban children. In order to realize this dream, she ran around looking for acquaintances and friends, borrowed more than 40 thousand yuan in her own name, bought 20 computers, built the first computer room in Liuhe Township, and took the lead in opening the educational satellite broadband network, providing advanced educational facilities for students' study. Nowadays, students in this remote rural primary school can use the primary school computer like children in the city, but she has not paid off all the loans.
After teaching for 28 years, Yang Yonghuan has won two boxes of medals, but she still interprets the oath of "lifelong dedication to rural education" with her own actions.
