At 8: am on October 26th, the fifth annual meeting of Chinese Wetland kicked off with the appearance of four presenters. As soon as the opening ceremony was over, the drama began: Teacher Qian Menglong of Taishan Beidou in the Chinese language field began to speak!
Qian Lao, who is nearly ninety years old, slowly walked onto the stage with the applause of all the teachers. After taking a seat, the first thing Qian Lao said was "Hello, teachers! I am an accidental passer-by of the Chinese wetland. The three characteristics of the Chinese wetland are very suitable for me. The first is "folk", the second is grassroots, and the third is informal. I am absolutely from the folk and absolutely grassroots, and I have no formal identity. Of course, what I say is formal. " This opening, closely following the summary of the characteristics of Chinese wetland in Yuan Lao's opening speech, is clever and relevant, especially kind, and excellent teachers are especially good at cutting to the chase naturally from the surrounding environment. I was impressed by Qian Lao's wit and moved by Qian Lao's "informal grassroots" humility.
Then, Mr. Qian said that when Mr. Wang Jun contacted him, he wanted him to talk about his life story. He said, "I am indeed a man with a story ... Last night, looking back on my life, I thought of a few words ..." Then he took out a small piece of paper from his coat pocket, which was "confused". Qian Lao said, "It's really pitiful to think about it. My whole life has been concentrated on this …" As he spoke, he raised the little piece of paper in his hand. The self-deprecating words present a transparent image of an intelligent old man, calm and indifferent. I think Qian Lao should have no regrets in this life, so I can calmly and self-deprecatingly say that my life is on that piece of paper.
Then, Qian Lao began to tell his own life stories one by one.
Qian Lao set a brilliant record of repeating grades in kindergarten, grade three, grade five and grade two in junior high school, and was called "smart face and stupid belly" by his classmates and teachers. After repeating the fifth grade, I met teacher Wu Zhongying who changed my life. Teacher Wu awakened the confidence of a teenager who failed to repeat a class by teaching Qian Lao to look it up in a dictionary, rebuilt the confidence of a teenager who failed to repeat a class by entrusting him with the task of checking the pronunciation of new words in the text before class, and promoted him to learn actively, thus changing the fate of a teenager. Qian Lao said that Mr. Wu asked him to start the habit of reading articles before class, formed the good habit of speaking like a book, stopped playing truant and liked attending classes. When I graduated from primary school, Mr. Wu gave Qian Lao's comment that "this student is gifted and intelligent", which made the shadow produced by the evaluation of "smart face and stupid belly" swept away.
Later, when Qian Lao was in junior high school, he developed the habit of self-study. Before each lesson, he would read the article by himself and try to form his own independent opinions. He listened to the teacher in class and compared his understanding with what the teacher said. No matter what he thought was the same or different from what the teacher said, Qian Lao would ask why, so he turned the process of ordinary students listening and recording into a process of thinking, which not only made them understand the text deeply but also exercised their thinking ability. In this way, even if you don't review before the exam, Qian Lao can be the first in the class. Moreover, Qian Lao, who was in junior high school, fell in love with reading, especially poetry. Qian Lao said that he spent nearly a semester reciting all the 3 Poems of Tang Poetry, and he also learned about the flat lines of poetry through self-study. He was able to write regular poems and quatrains according to the flat lines in the second grade of the first grade of junior high school, and learned to recite poems, which also led the male students in the class to recite poems together. Later, he wrote poems under the pseudonym of blind and deaf poets and published them regularly in the wall newspaper "Fire" he founded. Qian Lao's self-taught poetry touched me. As long as a person has the heart to learn, he can really learn something. For example, Yin Dong, the founder of Wetlands, groped for computers and information technology by himself, and with the spirit of hard struggle, he became the most computer-savvy Chinese teacher. Therefore, with an aspiring heart, self-study can grow as well.
after graduating from junior high school, Qian Lao dropped out of high school after only three months. After the liberation of Shanghai in 1949, Qian Lao came up with the idea of doing something for the new society, so he found a private primary school, and he just wanted to be a teacher and do something for the new society. In this way, from teaching primary school students to teaching junior high school and finally to teaching senior high school, Qian Lao created a myth that "junior high school graduates teach senior high school" and taught it well. It really printed Qian Lao's evaluation of "informal grassroots" at the beginning, and it also proved that Qian Lao's self-learning ability is super strong! A junior high school graduate teaching high school, kung fu must come from self-study! I also thought that the reason why Qian Lao created such an educational legend was related to his sincere heart. Because of sincerity, it is simple and persistent. Just thinking about how to do one thing well, how can things not be done?
this kind of sincerity is very obvious in another life experience after Qian Lao.
because of his sincerity, Qian Lao responded to the call of the secretary of the Party Committee of the District Education Bureau, gave advice to the Party, and made comments on major issues. He told some unpleasant truths and was finally branded as a rightist in 1957. Listening to Qian Lao Kan Kan and talking about his own experience, I can't help but think of Qian Lao at that time: he sincerely wrote his thoughts in posters, he rushed to explain his thoughts and suggestions to everyone, and he put forward his ideas when he saw bad phenomena and places, only hoping that he could make his society better! It seems that I can see Qian Lao's self-growth in adversity, comforting myself with poetry and not forgetting to grow; At the time of Chairman Mao's death, Qian Lao wrote three seven laws in mourning for Chairman Mao in his Mao Zedong Thought column, which was copied by the famous teacher Shen at that time, and later helped Qian Lao to be rated as a special teacher. It can be seen that Qian Lao still does not give up his self-growth in adversity, and he is still writing poems. Otherwise, there will be no seven laws and three poems to mourn Chairman Mao later.
Qian Lao said that his prime is ups and downs, and his middle age is bumpy, but his old age is really smooth. In 1979, for the first time in China, the special-grade teacher was selected. Qian Lao was recommended by the local education bureau to participate in the special-grade teacher by virtue of the demonstration class of "Yu Gong Yi Shan", which was passed through a discussion and won this honorary title. This success is actually an inevitable result of Qian Lao's self-growth. If Qian Lao had given up his self-growth since he was labeled as a rightist in 1957, he could not have become famous at the principals' meeting of key suburban schools held in education bureau of shanghai after the Cultural Revolution. The lesson "Yu Gong Yi Shan" which became famous was the result of Qian Lao's self-growth. If Qian Lao had given up his self-growth since he was labeled as a rightist in 1957, he would not have been able to write a profound mourning poem when Chairman Mao died (because poetry was appreciated, it occasionally became a boost to the evaluation of special-grade teachers), which is not only a manifestation of self-growth but also a manifestation of sincere heart.
in his twilight years, Qian Lao met a good couple for his poetry, and sang with teacher Yao Danhua, leading a sweet and beautiful life. This is a gift that years give back to Qian Lao, and it is a gift that years pursue persistently for Qian Lao all his life.
Qian Lao summed up his life story in seven sentences, and what I feel from Qian Lao's life story is who has been wronged by time? A person with a desire to grow up will not sink in the setbacks of life. Money is always like this, and so is Mr. Wang Jun, who invited Qian Lao for us. I still remember that Teacher Wang Jun mentioned in her article that when she was 25 years old, she boarded the national competition platform, and the Wolf she taught was well received. Almost everyone thought that the first prize belonged to her, but the result was not. Therefore, Mr. Wang Jun encountered a low tide on the road of professional growth. However, in the days when she was suspected of being denied, she made a comeback by writing and publishing articles, and once again moved towards growth and surpassing herself.
Qian Lao said that there are two unqualified Chinese teachers in China, one is Qian Menglong, and the other is Wei Shusheng, so-called "Southern Qian and Northern Wei". But as we all know, Qian Lao and Mr. Wei Shusheng have become famous Chinese teachers all over the country, which shows that these two predecessors are self-taught models! It is the dream catcher who has lived up to the growth of the years!
