A chance encounter sometimes becomes a permanent dependence. Meeting seems to be a magical arrangement, it is the beginning of everything, the beginning of everything good.
It was last summer when a group of Chinese teachers and I went to Yichang, known as the capital of water and electricity, to attend the second annual meeting of the Chinese Wetland Organization. Here, I met special teachers Yu Yingchao, Xiao Peidong, and Wang Jun, and personally listened to their lectures and lectures. There are so many touching things here that I will never forget for a long time, and my heart is always filled with a feeling of happiness.
In the eyes of a rural teacher like me, special teachers are aloof and inaccessible. However, everything is not what I imagined. I still remember that Teacher Yu Yingchao, at the age of seventy, hurriedly came to teach the teachers despite his busy schedule. After the class, he had to catch a plane immediately to go to another place for class. During the day, Mr. Yu gave two consecutive lectures on "Hermes and the Statuemaker" to students in the first and second grades of junior high school. The city of water and electricity made a big joke with Mr. Yu. There was a power outage. At first they said the power outage would be an hour, then they said it would be two hours, three hours... During the long wait, everyone began to go on stage to ask Mr. Yu for autographs. , Mr. Yu signed autographs for each teacher seriously, the back of his clothes was soaked with sweat, and he did not say stop. The teachers did not have fans or other tools to blow the wind, so we spontaneously picked up the books and blew the wind for Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu was covered in sweat, but he said words of gratitude and stopped the teachers from fanning him. Everyone was moved by Mr. Yu and continued to fan. After signing the autograph, Mr. Yu was not afraid of being tired and took photos with a group of our teachers.
The electricity in the water and electricity capital finally came on, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Mr. Yu's lecture began. Everyone listened quietly, and I was deeply moved by Mr. Yu's concise language and accurate expressions. At ten o'clock in the evening, the lecture finally ended. The 70-year-old Yu was not afraid of his hard work and said to the teachers, thank you all for your hard work, and thanked the teachers for their love of learning. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when I returned to the hotel, but I couldn't calm down for a long time. Because of my own choice and my choice to meet everyone in contemporary Chinese education, I gained a lot of happiness and happiness.
There are also special teachers Xiao Peidong and Wang Jun. They accurately grasp the texts and their earnest teachings to the teachers are outspoken, not for themselves, but only to improve the overall level of Chinese teaching. These all moved me deeply.
The happiness that the Chinese Language Wetland brings to me lies not only in this educational event, but also in the subsequent encouragement. The WeChat public account of Chinese Wetland publishes new articles every day. The QQ group of Chinese Wetland often communicates about difficult problems in Chinese teaching. A large group of teachers come to answer questions, which has benefited me a lot.
In the wetland, there is a group of teachers who read and write articles every day. Their persistence makes me, a person who loves reading, feel deeply guilty. Because the books I read are all highly literary and appreciative books, all to satisfy my entertainment needs. After encountering the Chinese Language Wetland, the homework I must do every day is to read the teachers’ articles. Here, I met Teacher Si Yanping. She is a teacher in Shanxi. For more than ten years, she has been teaching Chinese, reading seriously, teaching down-to-earth, guiding students in reading and writing, and she leads students to carry out Group reading, reading Li Bai, reading Han Yu, reading Liu Zongyuan... reading and writing; Teacher Chen Xiaodong from Tangshan, Hebei Province, in his 40s, he worshiped Teacher Wang Jun as his teacher, read educational books every day, wrote an article every day, and insisted on studying and using " I use the "one-word bone-building method" to interpret the text, and read Teacher Wang Jun's "Practice All the Way to Be a Teacher" and "Practice All the Way to Be a Class Teacher" every day in "Himalaya"... Teacher Xie Hua from Sichuan has been guiding students to read for more than ten years. Pre-reading, reading classics, exchanging reading notes, from reading to reading for pleasure, gradually improve students' reading and writing levels. On April 23rd every year, a grand reading award event is held. Teacher Xie himself has his own WeChat official account, starting from this year, she reads and copies poems every day. Her calligraphy and persistence have moved teachers all over the world; Chen Haibo, a young teacher from Jiangsu, reads eight books a month, even when his father-in-law passed away from a serious illness. , still insist on reading and taking notes; Teachers Wu Fengyun and Chen Qun of Qinhuangdao are also in rural middle schools. They insist on teaching reform, starting from grasping students' basic knowledge, working hard, and achieving great achievements.
...Many teachers have opened columns in Wetland and "Wetland Reading" in QQ groups. They read professional books every month, communicate with each other, and improve together.
I am very grateful for this grand encounter. Thanks for this beautiful encounter, my teaching life has been filled with hope, joy and happiness. Originally, in our place, after working for 20 years, many teachers considered themselves old and retreated to the second line. Ever since I met Chinese Language Wetland, met Wang Jun, Xiao Peidong, etc., and met Youth Chinese, Sister Jun has used her attitude towards life to Enthusiasm leads everyone to interpret Chinese and interpret life. She is a Chinese teacher and a wise man in life. She infects every Chinese person with her enthusiasm for life.
Since then, my life has changed and I have started to read professional books. This year I read "80 Lectures on Teaching Chinese Language" by Teacher Yu Yingchao, "I Just Want to Teach Chinese in a Simple Way" by Teacher Xiao Peidong, and "I Want to Teach Chinese in a Simple Way" by Teacher Wang Jun. He also read professional books such as "This I Teach Composition", "Practice Along the Way to Teach Composition", "Practice All the Way to Be a Class Teacher"; and also read "Camel Xiangzi", "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", "Baishuo", "Jieyou Grocery Store" and "The Kite Flyer" wait. It was an encounter with a famous Chinese teacher that broadened my horizons, enriched my life, and made my life different from before.
As Dong Qing said in "The Reader": Everything in the world is a matter of encounter, just like when cold meets warm, there is rain; when spring meets winter, there are years; when heaven meets the earth, there is Eternity; when people meet people, they have life. As a teacher, just because I met a famous Chinese teacher, I met happiness.
