A night's work
Author: He Qifang
Premier Zhou gave a report at every "cultural" conference. "People's Literature" magazine was going to publish this report, so I compiled the transcript and sent it to the Prime Minister for review.
On this day, the Prime Minister’s Office. It was a tall palace-style house with extremely simple interior furnishings, a small writing desk, two small swivel chairs, and a lamp, that's all. The Prime Minister saw me, pointed to a stack of documents about a foot high on the desk, and said: "I will approve these documents tonight. I will put the manuscripts you sent at the end. You can go to the duty room next door and take a nap." , I’ll call you then.”
I went to the duty room to sleep. At some unknown time, the comrades in the duty room woke me up. He said to me: "The Prime Minister asked you to go." I got up immediately, rubbed my sleepy eyes, and walked into the Prime Minister's office. The Prime Minister invited me to sit across from his desk and asked me to review the transcripts I compiled. In fact, he meant consultation. He reviewed it sentence by sentence, and after reading a sentence, he drew a small circle behind it with a pen. He didn't just browse through it once, he also thought about it while reading it. Sometimes he stopped to think about it, and sometimes he asked me a question or two. The night was very quiet, and it took a long time for the Prime Minister to finish reviewing the manuscript and hand it over to me.
At this time, the comrades in the duty room brought two cups of hot green tea and a small plate of peanuts and placed them on the desk. The Prime Minister asked me to drink tea and eat peanuts with him. There are not many peanuts, you can count the number of peanuts, and it seems that the weight has not increased because of the extra person. After drinking tea for a while, I heard the rooster crow clearly. The Prime Minister stood up and said to me: "I'm going to have a rest. I'll take a nap in the morning and participate in activities in the afternoon. You can go back to sleep too."
I also stood up, not paying attention to the small swivel chair. The upper strap is crooked. The Prime Minister came over, straightened the swivel chair, and walked into the back.
On the way back, I kept thinking and saying to myself: "This is the new prime minister of our new China. I saw his work all night. How hardworking and simple he is!"
I want to say loudly to the whole world, as if the whole world can hear my voice: "Look, this is the Prime Minister of our Republic of China. I saw his work overnight . He works like this every night. Have you ever seen a Prime Minister like this?
Class Record (1)
Teacher : Yesterday the teacher assigned you to preview the text. Raise your hands after you read it a few times.
Raise your hands.
Teacher: Very good. Children who love reading and know how to read have brighter eyes than other children. Do you believe it?
Sheng: Believe it.
Teacher: I tell you that hearing is deceptive and seeing is believing. Do you think the teacher’s eyes are very bright?
Sheng: No.
Teacher: That means the teacher hasn’t read enough books. Yesterday I asked you to interview elders and talk about their understanding of the Prime Minister. Did you ask?
Student: I asked.
Teacher: Have you been asked to check the relevant information?
Student: Checked it.
The school bell rings.
Teacher: OK, let’s go to class. I am very happy to study the 13th lesson "A Night's Work" (teacher writing on the blackboard) with my classmates. Yesterday we turned from strangers into good friends. The teacher first read two poems to the classmates as teachers and friends.
Multimedia presentation: Some people are dead when they are alive, and they are still alive when some people are dead - "Some People" by Zang Kejia (excerpt)
Teacher: I want to talk to the teacher Read aloud together?
Student: Think!
Teacher: Come and read together.
Teachers and students*** read.
Teacher: These two lines of poetry seem a bit deep. I believe that after studying "A Night's Work", students will understand its meaning well, because this lesson is about a man who has died for twenty-six years. The good Prime Minister worked hard all night, let us say this great name together——
Student: Premier Zhou!
Teacher: Let us follow the author He Qifang into this office, open the book, read it, read it several times if you are moved by it, and communicate with your deskmates. Start reading!
Students read by themselves.
Teacher: I noticed that many people made a lot of comments when reading the text, which shows that our sixth grade children are very good at learning. Who can tell me about your night at work as Prime Minister? What was the most touching part of your life?
Student: "The Prime Minister asked me..." Although there were not many peanuts, Premier Zhou was still very generous and shared it with everyone, which shows that the Prime Minister is very approachable.
Teacher: Do other students still feel about this sentence?
Sheng: Although it’s not much, it’s very generous to give it to others.
Teacher: Is there any more?
Student: It was so late that the Prime Minister was still working and he didn’t have many peanuts, but he still gave many to his colleagues. This shows that the Prime Minister is very generous, approachable and very popular.
Teacher: More importantly, the prime minister of a big country worked all day and ate only peanuts. What did you experience from this?
Sheng: It can be seen that the Prime Minister is a very simple person.
Teacher: Do you agree with his opinion?
Sheng: Agree.
Teacher: The author said: It seems that there is no increase in weight just because there is one more person. Has it increased?
Sheng: No.
Teacher: Do you have any different opinions?
Sheng: I think it has increased. Maybe Premier Zhou usually eats less, which is already too much.
Teacher: What does it feel like when we read this place?
Student: I feel uncomfortable. The prime minister of a country eats so simply. I feel uncomfortable and feel sour in my heart.
Teacher: Can you read this sour feeling?
Read as a student.
Teacher: I think you failed to read the sour feeling. Who can read it better than him? You come
Student.
Teacher: Much better, let’s do more together.
Students read together.
Teacher: Let’s see what else moved you.
Student: "He reviewed those manuscripts sentence by sentence..." This proves that the Prime Minister is very attentive and careful in what he does. He does not think about personal matters when writing and is very careful.
Teacher: Who can add?
Student: I think I just mentioned a stack of documents. There are so many documents and you read them so carefully. It can be seen that the Prime Minister is very careful.
Teacher: Where can you see your attentiveness?
Student: Start with "Draw small circles one sentence at a time...". It shows that Premier Zhou is very careful in his work.
Teacher: Can you read it to everyone?
Read as a student.
Teacher: You read so fluently. Don’t sit down. How thick are the documents that Premier Zhou has approved?
Student: One foot is high.
Teacher: Please figure out how high one foot is.
Students gesture.
Teacher: Look at how tall the Chinese language book is. Compared with the height of a foot, what are your thoughts?
Sheng: There are too many differences.
Student: Our Chinese language documents are very thin and take a long time to read. However, the Prime Minister’s documents are ten or even ten times thicker than the Chinese language documents. This shows that it is very hard for the Prime Minister to approve so many documents.
Teacher: Yes, our Prime Minister’s job is so hard. Please see the screen.
Multimedia display:
Teacher: It’s late at night and everyone is asleep. Only our Premier Zhou is still concentrating on correcting the manuscript. How hard it is. Who can carry this kind of attitude towards the Prime Minister? Show his love and respect through your reading.
Student: "Every sentence..."
Teacher: Read the last sentence again. You listen to me read.
Studying in normal school.
Teacher: Come and read again.
Read it again.
Teacher: It’s much better. It would be better if you read it again. It would be better if you read it more slowly late at night.
Read it again.
Teacher: I read so quietly, as if the Prime Minister really came among us. Who is coming?
Read as a student.
Teacher: Let us read these passages together. Pay attention to keeping the voice lower and more affectionate, and bring all the teachers who are listening to the class to the Prime Minister.
Students read together.
Teacher: It’s a great read. What other parts moved you? Please take the time to share your views.
Student: "I also stood up..." It is written here that the Prime Minister is also very careful in life. "I" just put the swivel chair crooked, but he saw it.
Teacher: This is a good habit throughout his life, is there anything else?
Student: What I found was "That is a tall house..."
Teacher: What did you experience from this place?
Student: I realize that the Prime Minister is very simple. As the Prime Minister, his office should be better.
Teacher: Who wants to say anything else? This is the place.
Student: The room the Prime Minister lives in should be very good, but the facilities he lives in are extremely simple, just two small swivel chairs, which shows that the Prime Minister is a very simple person.
Teacher: If you saw this simple office where the Prime Minister lives, what would you say?
Student: I wonder if this is really the room where the Prime Minister lives?
Teacher: Please read this passage with this feeling.
Student: Let’s read this passage with a tone of surprise.
Teachers and students read together.
Teacher: That’s all. This is the Prime Minister’s office. Any more?
Student: "The Prime Minister saw me..."
Teacher: Tell me about your feelings.
Student: The Prime Minister has to approve documents that are a foot high in one night, and he also has to approve the documents that I sent. It is really hard.
Teacher: You feel that he works very hard.
Everyone talked fully and the reading was heart-warming. The author used simple language to capture every detail of the Prime Minister. How could such a good Prime Minister not make us moved and admired? But our Prime Minister is also a person who needs to be concerned about! Look, it’s late at night, and the lights in our Prime Minister’s Office are still on. When you pass by, do you want to say something to the Prime Minister or advise him?
Sheng: Prime Minister, if you don’t rest, let me rest. How can I be content with that? Let me do the small things. You go and eat!
Teacher: Can you design a delicious meal for the Prime Minister?
Sheng: Yes. Abalone, crab, shrimp.
Teacher: You can feel your deep affection for the Prime Minister from your night meal.
Student: Prime Minister, you have worked so hard and have to change so many documents. It is so late at night, so go and have a rest! Besides, we are all by your side, let us do the little things. If you have any difficulties, just tell us and we can do the usual chores for you.
Teacher: What do you want to say?
Sheng: Prime Minister, your body is not made of iron. You also need to rest, so don’t embarrass yourself and rest too.
Teacher: The Prime Minister will not embarrass himself, he is willing to do so.
Sister: Prime Minister, although work is very important, your body is also very important. Please pay attention to rest.
Student: Prime Minister, go back to bed quickly and let me approve the rest of the manuscript. You are our Prime Minister after all.
Teachers and students laughed.
Teacher: Maybe you will be the Prime Minister in twenty years! The Prime Minister may also want to live a relaxed life, but he can't do it. This was the Prime Minister's work schedule when he was diagnosed with cancer in 1974.

Put all your heart in In your heart
Write on your chest who you are
Hold all the love in your hands
Use your eyes to tell who you are Such a person
No need to think too much, no need to ask too many questions
You are this kind of person
You can’t not think about it, you can’t ask questions

Premier Zhou’s spirit of selfless work runs through his life. The following excerpts are excerpts from the accounts of some medical staff who have worked around Premier Zhou.
On one occasion, Premier Zhou had worked for dozens of hours continuously. The comrades working around Premier Zhou all hoped that Premier Zhou could take a break and discuss it with Comrade Deng Yingchao. Finally, it was decided to let the guards persuade Premier Zhou. The guard walked into the Prime Minister's Office and saw that the Prime Minister was still concentrating on his work. He did not want to disturb him and quietly stood aside. After the Prime Minister found out, he asked kindly: "Is there something wrong?" The guard quickly said: "We all ask the Prime Minister to take a rest." The Prime Minister smiled and said: "There are so many things, what can we do if we don't finish them!" The guard had no choice but to ask the Prime Minister to take a rest. He quietly withdrew again. Time passed hour by hour, and Premier Zhou was still working intensely. Everyone saw that the Prime Minister was too tired and worried about his health. So, another medical staff was sent to persuade the Prime Minister. The medical staff walked into the Prime Minister's Office and said to Premier Zhou: "We all once again ask the Prime Minister to take a rest." The Prime Minister nodded and said, "Okay, wait a moment." After waiting for a while, the Prime Minister really stood up from his seat. I stood up, walked around the desk, took a rest, and sat down again to continue working. This time, I worked continuously for forty-two hours.
Premier Zhou continued to work even during his illness. On New Year's Eve in 1972, Premier Zhou had dinner with a medical staff, watched TV for a while, then walked into the office and worked until about eight o'clock the next morning.
After Premier Zhou fell seriously ill, he still insisted on working more than 20 hours a day. Often, before one meeting is over, another meeting is waiting for him to attend. For a while, the Prime Minister's voice became hoarse due to overexertion, and the medical staff had to spray his throat with medicine before the Prime Minister went to a meeting.
When Premier Zhou was working, he often couldn't take care of eating. The comrades working around him had to bring some dry food and ask the Prime Minister to eat in the car on the way; sometimes he had to attend another meeting just after the meeting and had no time to eat. , the staff had to soak a few biscuits in boiling water, handed them to the Prime Minister, and drank them during the meeting, which was considered a meal.

This text is about the author who witnessed Premier Zhou working all night while accompanying Premier Zhou to review a manuscript, and praised Premier Zhou's tireless work. The spirit and simple life style express the thoughts and feelings of reverence and love for Premier Zhou.
The text first explains the reasons for accompanying Premier Zhou to review the manuscript, and then focuses on what he saw and heard when accompanying Premier Zhou to review the manuscript, and finally the author's feelings.
The main purpose of selecting this text is, firstly, to enable students to be influenced by Premier Zhou’s great personality; secondly, to guide students to understand the expression method of this lesson through the small things in life and the use of plain language to show the great spirit of the character.
The focus of the text is to accompany Premier Zhou to review the manuscript. This part shows Premier Zhou's lofty qualities in terms of hard work and simple life.
The difficulty of the text lies mainly in the last two natural paragraphs.
The difficulty in these two natural paragraphs is how to clarify the author's emotional development and feel the author's strong feelings.
Because I witnessed Premier Zhou’s work all night and saw with my own eyes how hard Premier Zhou worked and how simple his life was, the author was overwhelmed with excitement and had thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to express to others. But it was impossible to find someone to talk to on the road, so I could only talk to myself. "I keep thinking, keep saying to myself" is a true reflection of that irrepressible passion. When you are excited, you must have a lot of thoughts. The first thing the author thinks of is that there has never been a prime minister like Premier Zhou in the history of China. Therefore, he could not help but sigh, "This is the Prime Minister of our new China."
The author's thoughts turned from vertical to horizontal comparison, and he shouted to the whole world: "Look, this is the Prime Minister of our People's Republic of China. I saw him all night job. He works like this every night.
Have you ever seen such a Prime Minister?" Here, on the one hand, the author expresses the excitement and pride of having the opportunity to see Premier Zhou's work overnight; on the other hand, the author thinks of the Prime Minister's daily work from Premier Zhou's night's work. After working all night, the author shouted confidently and proudly: "Have you ever seen such a prime minister?"
