At noon one day, Mr. Ye Shengtao, a famous Chinese writer and educator, took his fleeing compatriots all the way west and finally came to Chengdu. He saw the old street full of tung trees and recalled the time when he left his hometown and drifted all the way. Ye Shengtao frowned.
Employed as Director of Chinese Teaching and Arts Department
Ye Shengtao came to Sichuan this time, mainly as the editor of Chengdu Ming Kai Bookstore. However, when the invitation letter from the Education Science Museum of Sichuan Provincial Department of Education was handed to him, the educator, who loves education and is full of education to rejuvenate the country, accepted the invitation without hesitation, and was kindly invited by Dr. Tang Maoru, then the principal of Liwu Middle School, to be the director of the Chinese teaching department in huayang middle school, Sichuan Province (the predecessor of Liwu Middle School).
At that time, Central China was the only "six-year consistent system" experimental school in the province. Under the auspices of President Tang Maoru, a large number of famous teachers gathered in Sri Lanka, which was a gathering of celebrities and elites.
1940165438+1October 2 1, Ye Shengtao got up at 6: 30 in the morning, took his carry-on luggage and hired a car to take office in Chongning. In Chengdu in early winter, the fog is filled with thin frost, which makes people shudder. Soon the frost soaked his tsing yi cloth shoes, even his eyebrows were wet. After a hard journey, I arrived at school at two in the afternoon.
The headmaster, Tang Maoru, had already greeted him at the door, smiling and shaking hands with him happily. After a short rest, President Tang accompanied him to inspect the campus. The school is an ancient temple. Although dilapidated, it is surrounded by a large forest. When Ye Shengtao saw this, he sincerely lamented: It is also a comfort to get this school after evacuation!
Ye Shengtao, dressed in a blue cloth, appeared in the narrow campus and became a special scenery of the school for a time. The humble teaching facilities, students full of enthusiasm for studying and serving the country, brave and upright school motto and patriotic immigration tradition left a deep impression on Ye Shengtao.
After dinner, the school held a teacher meeting to study various scientific problems, and Ye Shengtao gladly attended. At the meeting, everyone expressed their opinions and opinions, which was very enthusiastic. Ye Shengtao lamented that the meetings in this school are not as boring as in other places, which shows that the teachers hired by the principal are effective.
Give a speech on "the method of learning Chinese"
As the convener, Ye Shengtao discussed the curriculum with all liberal arts teachers. On the third day, after lunch, he strolled to the Arctic Bridge Tea Shop for tea. The roof of the tea shop was shaded and the water was flowing. He sipped tea and leafed through Lv Simian's A General History of China, which was very pleasant! After three o'clock, I went back to school to discuss the 30th anniversary with my colleagues in charge of science and education in the province, and happily wrote eight seal characters of "self-improvement, new life". In the evening, the graduating class gave a banquet to entertain the teacher, and the food was cooked by the students. At seven o'clock in the evening, Ye Shengtao gave a wonderful speech on the importance of learning and learning methods for half an hour at the student forum.
On the anniversary day, Ye Shengtao strolled around the campus. The whole school students are busy cleaning, hanging banners and setting tables and chairs. At ten o'clock, celebrities such as Lu and Lu attended the celebration and delivered speeches.
On the second day of the celebration, at the invitation of President Tang Maoru, Ye Shengtao gave a wonderful speech entitled "Methods of Learning Chinese" in the whole school. Everyone listened attentively and learned a lot. In the evening, he moved a bamboo chair, sat among the students, and enjoyed three movies, such as Songhu Frontline, with great interest.
When discussing the problem of discipline with President Tang, Ye Shengtao thinks that it is too trivial and inappropriate to discipline students, and there are too many forms. The class teacher is tired of filling out the forms, and there is not enough time and energy to actually help students. The root of the problem lies in the lack of enthusiasm and understanding of teachers.
Read the students' compositions word for word under the vegetable oil lamp.
Ye Shengtao is from Jiangsu. Although his Suzhou Mandarin sounds difficult, he is full of energy when giving lectures. Coupled with his profound knowledge, superb teaching skills and strong professionalism, he left a deep impression on teachers and students.
Ye Shengtao recorded his life in Wu Li Middle School in his later work "Sichuan and I". "In the morning, I discussed the discipline with Tang (then principal Tang Maoru-editor's note), Tang and Liu. ..... After dinner, there will be a fun party at school, and our discussion will continue. ..... Go to the playground to watch an entertainment party featuring the drama "Whistle in the Woods", physical and chemical illusion and black dance. A first-year and third-year student wrote yesterday's speech and asked to revise it. If the draft is more than 2000 words, correct it under the oil lamp. Students with an accent can't fully understand it, and their writing ability is poor, so there are many mistakes. It's already ten o'clock and I'm very tired. I will stop writing and go to bed. " The next day, Ye Shengtao went to Pengzhou, took two-thirds of the students' notes and got up early to correct them.
From the above text, we can imagine Ye Shengtao reading the students' compositions word by word under the dim vegetable oil lamp, and then understand Ye Shengtao's intense work and busy life when he was teaching in Liewu Middle School, and get a glimpse of his professionalism.
In September, Ye Shengtao left Chengdu for Chongqing. Although he has been a teacher for five times for a short time, his work attitude has given immeasurable educational inspiration to the younger generation.
