During the afternoon meeting, I saw the junior high school teacher’s WeChat message and suddenly remembered that the essay I should have submitted last month had not yet been written. I couldn’t help but feel ashamed: the problem of procrastination in submitting homework in junior high school has not been corrected to this day!
At the beginning of last month, I added WeChat to my junior high school teacher Liu, whom I had not seen for many years. That night, the moment I answered the phone, I suddenly felt that although I hadn’t seen each other for more than thirty years, this scene seemed like it was yesterday: amidst the ding of the school bell, Teacher Liu held a glass filled with green tea in his hand and stood on his feet. Cloth shoes walked into the classroom; the classroom full of plainly dressed students all stood up at the command of the student on duty...
Putting down the phone, the ripples in my heart slowly spread, the memories of those in junior high school decades ago Past events vaguely come to mind...
When I was studying in junior high school, I actually went to two schools: I attended Ya'erping Primary and Secondary School in the first year of junior high school. Studied at Fujiayan Middle School. ?
I remember that when I first registered at Fujiayan Middle School, it was a little later than the prescribed schedule, and the students were already in formal classes. The first time I left home for a market town dozens of miles away, my eldest sister made a special trip to see me check in. After I signed up and settled in the dormitory, I felt a little excited - I still remember it vividly.
The campus called Dashuitian
The campus of Fujiayan Junior High School was originally called Dashuitian. I only learned about this recently.
The campuses of junior high schools in rural market towns at that time were probably like this: three or two small earth-tile houses surrounded by a playground, such as Ya'erping Primary and Secondary School. ? The campus layout of Fujiayan Middle School was not much different at that time: three single-story earth-tiled classrooms, dormitories and canteens, divided into three U-shaped buildings on the north and southeast sides, surrounded by a large playground and adjacent to the southwest. There is a stone hill - now it seems that a pavilion has been built, but at that time there were only some small trees in the stone nest.
Between the classroom and the dormitory, there is a small playground that is tens of meters square. To the north is a stone ridge of seven or eight meters high on the hillside. There are steps in the middle. It is symmetrical and very impressive; the edge of the stone ridge is , a row of flower pots planted with green chrysanthemums and cypress trees!
On the top of the stone ridge, a foundation was cut out from the rocky mountain: in the direction of the dormitory, a two-story building stood: walls made of stone, brick-colored machine tile slopes The roof - has a unique classic beauty, I wonder if it is still there today! This building is the core of Fujiayan Middle School - the teachers' dormitory building: the school's top official, the principal, and most of the teachers live here. It is actually also the teacher's office building - conditions were simple at that time, and the teachers were really 7-11, most of the time. All focus on teaching. ?
There is a staircase at the west end of the teachers' dormitory building, which divides the upstairs and downstairs into two worlds: the upstairs is the teachers' dormitory, and the downstairs is the boys' dormitory. I have the impression that the stairs have no roof, so when it rains or snows, the stairs are wet and slippery.
The county-level highway winds from Wufeng County through Erchakou, passes through Fujiayan market town, turns a corner at the township health center and rushes outside the school gate, along the back wall of the classroom , turn behind the classroom and dormitory building, zigzag along the hillside and reach Dalongping - another place parallel to Ya'erping.
? The old principal’s flower garden
Use colors or certain flowers to describe my life in Fujiayan Junior High School, and two keywords will pop up: golden yellow and chrysanthemum!
Autumn in the Wufeng Mountains has obvious seasonal characteristics in my impression: in the cool morning air, the medicinal aroma of wild chrysanthemums in the fields often floats!
The recess exercise after the second class in the autumn morning of Fujiayan Junior High School is, in my mind, the most beautiful time on campus:
The morning sunshine has already warmed up the surroundings. Warmth, the campus under the blue sky is immersed in bright yellow. On the stone ridge in front of the classroom and dormitory building, chrysanthemums of various colors are in full bloom - the thin petals stretch out wantonly, and even cluster together, squeezing each other, the impression is Golden is the most popular, and there seems to be crimson, white or purple too! ...It’s really in full bloom. I think it’s more appropriate to use the word “full bloom”!
From autumn to early winter, these chrysanthemums continue to bloom, becoming the brightest color on campus! After early self-study get out of class, breakfast time, recess exercises, and all recess time, walking out of the classroom to take a look is really eye-catching! Very refreshing!
These chrysanthemums and green trees are the masterpieces cultivated by the old principal Liu Shaolin! I once observed at close range: the old principal carefully pruned the flowers and used slag to fertilize the flower seedlings. ? Many years later, I occasionally see golden blooming chrysanthemums in the park, and I often think of Fujiayan Junior High School and the autumn on campus! ? Thanks to the old principal for his hard work! It will be many years before we can appreciate these subtle enlightenment meanings!
Youthful and Talented Teachers
I recently read the memoirs of old alumni and found out that the Fujiayan Junior High School when we were in school had just been converted from a high school a few years ago.
We are lucky to have such a group of talented teachers who are passionate about teaching and educating people——?
Teacher Qin Mengliang in the physical education class has slightly curly hair on his forehead, an imposing manner, and a loud voice. Whether speaking or demonstrating actions, every move is full of energy! I believe that after taking his physical education class, you will gradually understand the words "sportsmanship"!
I have the impression that there are several teachers who have taught us English classes: Teacher Wang Yulian wore pigtails at that time and spoke softly and kindly; Teacher Huang Liangsheng had just graduated recently, he was full of youth, full of passion in class, and treated students like a big brother , a group of male classmates often went to his dormitory to eat and warm themselves by the fire; Teacher Chen Lin was short, with a straight nose, humorous speech, and a foreign accent in her English pronunciation!
Taking geography class is a kind of fun for me, because the only extracurricular book I had since I was a child is an atlas, and I often regard reading maps as fun! Luo Peimei, the geography teacher, has loose curly hair and looks like a Shanghai K-girl!
Physics teacher Lu Jiya gave us a golden saying in the first class: learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid of traveling around the world! ? In fact, I have been relying on mathematics, physics and chemistry to make a living for many years! Taking Teacher Lu's physics class is a great treat for students who are slightly motivated! ? It is estimated that his students should still remember two things: Teacher Lu’s expressions are rigorous and logical, and he often thinks for a moment before answering students’ questions; and his slightly obvious Changleping accent.
Teacher Pei Debing, who teaches plane geometry, we privately regard him as a genius - he can actually write from left to right: he can write smoothly with both left and right hands, and his calligraphy is not bad! Because of this incident, learning geometry is not so boring anymore! I'm really sorry, it's been so long, and other teachers who taught our math class can no longer recall them.
Teacher Li Jiahuai in the chemistry class had just graduated at that time. He was smiling and often criticized me for "procrastinating and sloppily doing my homework." This criticism was really to the point - I will probably have to write a self-criticism next time I see Teacher Li.
Tang Jinping, the teacher in the Chinese class, has a fair face and gentle speech. Teacher Tang can often come up with some poems and essays that are unfamiliar to us, which makes us very impressed!
Our junior high school years were in the early 1980s. At that time, the reform and opening up had just begun, the society was full of upward hope, and the teachers were full of youth. I remember that there was an organ in the teacher’s office next door, and occasionally melodious music could be heard. out! It is also a scenery in our junior high school life!
Teacher Liu and Teacher Zou
Teacher Liu Guangqi in the political class, who also teaches history, is the head teacher of our junior high school.
Teacher Liu is tall among all the teachers. She has a crew cut and a glass filled with green tea that she never leaves her hand. ? Teacher Liu's mimeographed papers are very good at steel plate calligraphy, and the chalk calligraphy on the blackboard is an example that the students he teaches compete to imitate. Frankly speaking, I can still read handwriting now, thanks to the little knowledge I learned from copying Teacher Liu's blackboard writing. . ?
Looking back more than thirty years later, I have almost forgotten the politics taught by my teacher. I still clearly remember the history taught by Teacher Liu: 841 BC, the first year of Zhou Zhao’s reign , Chinese history begins to have a clear chronology!
Teacher Zou Zusheng taught us Chinese in the third grade of junior high school. When we were in the third grade of junior high school, our two original classes of the second grade of junior high school were merged. He and teacher Liu Guangqi served as the class teachers of our graduating class! Teacher Zou is of medium height, strong build, and has a kind and friendly face! Teacher Zou’s chalk calligraphy is great and self-contained!
In the first semester of the third grade of junior high school, I got sick once, which was quite serious and far away from home. Fortunately, Teacher Liu and Teacher Zou took care of me. They carried me to the township health center for many days to see a doctor, and they paid for it. Get medicine. ? Not long ago, I was chatting with my junior sister about how their family was eating sick meals! ? I will always remember the kindness of the two head teachers and students and think about it often!
Canteen and teacher’s vegetable garden
At that time, in Fujiayan Junior High School, except for a few students who lived in the town, most of them came from the surrounding countryside and could only live in boarding schools. You can only eat in the cafeteria.
——It is obtained by soaking and grinding soybeans, adding some vegetable leaves and boiling. ? Because corn flour is often infested with insects, the insects will float up when the dregs soup is washed into the rice. If a big-hearted child bites his teeth, it will be treated as a tooth-beating sacrifice. At that time, we occasionally preferred not to eat for one or two meals, so that we could eat more easily when we were hungry.
The cook in the school cafeteria also raises pigs, so there will be a tooth-beating festival time every semester: killing pigs and eating meat! Now that I think about it, that meal was delicious! To use a cliché: I have never eaten such delicious pork and cornmeal rice!
The school has a field, and the class teacher takes the students to take time to farm in each class. The teacher also has a garden to grow some vegetables for self-sufficiency. After evening self-study classes in winter, the teacher's vegetable garden sometimes becomes the students' vegetable garden: sometimes if they are too greedy and hungry, some courageous students will pick up a bag or two of cabbage, wash it and cook it on the kerosene stove. ! I guess the teachers are all well aware of the plight of the students. No teacher has ever complained about a student stealing food! ?
? Impressions of morning jogging
In the early morning in small towns in China in the early 1980s, loudspeakers were the standard background sound: before the local news was officially broadcast, some popular songs of the time would be played , such as: fields of hope, nostalgia, velvet flowers...
Close your eyes and imagine: the earth is still sleeping in the early morning, a group of teenagers have gotten up, led by the teacher, shouting slogans or singing songs, wearing Pass through the market town and jog along the country road! The town in the mountains echoed with footsteps, music from loudspeakers, and occasionally the sound of dogs barking!
The school spirit of Fujiayan Junior High School at that time, based on my understanding today, can be called: civilized in spirit, barbaric in body! ?Students at that time did two things every day: studying in class and exercising. The three-kilometer road run at around six o'clock every morning is a compulsory course! Looking back, half of my current good health can be attributed to my morning jogging!
After the movie "Youth" was aired last year, Han Hong's version of "Ronghua" became popular for a while; every time this melodious melody rings in my ears, it always stirs up ripples in my mind. Recalling the years of Fujiayan Junior High School -? A group of teachers who were in their youth with visions, ideals and beautiful souls in their hearts enlightened a group of ignorant teenagers at the door of a golden age full of vitality and hope. Lead them into a world of knowledge full of hope! ?
Thank you for having you——
Fujiayan Junior High School
And the past and present?
Working there
All teachers!
