"Education is the foundation of the country"

This is a famous saying of Zheng in Qing Dynasty. The prosperity of a country is inseparable from the cultivation of talents, so education is of great significance in rejuvenating the country. The cultivation of talents is naturally indispensable to the hard work of educating "gardeners" and watering children's fields for knowledge with their own knowledge.

What's more, he gave up his stable job, went deep into the mountains and brought the seeds of education to the wilderness, so that they could take root, sprout, blossom and bear fruit. Today, we are going to talk about Li Guilin and Lu Jianfen, who were selected as "China 100 people since the founding of New China" in 2009, a teacher couple who brought their knowledge into the mountains and made selfless contributions.

Sympathize with the situation in mountainous areas and resolutely take root in mountainous areas.

Li Guilin, male, 1967, from Hanyuan, Sichuan. 1990, Li Guilin worked as a teacher in a private school in Hanyuan county. I heard that Pinger Village Primary School in Wushi Da Qiao Township, Ganluo County was closed for more than ten years, and Li Guilin used his summer vacation to inspect the local education. This trip really shocked Li Guilin, not only because the road to Pinger Village is difficult to walk, but also because the local situation in Pinger Village is too backward, and the people in the village have a hard life, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation are very simple.

Seeing such a scene, Li Guilin was heartbroken. He just lives on the other side of the Dadu River, never knowing that the shore is such human suffering. So Li Guilin decided to be a substitute teacher here. He wanted to use education to prop up the sky and change the desolate scene here. In this way, 24-year-old Li Guilin quit his original job and became a teacher in Pinger Village. However, because there are many children in Pinger Village Primary School who need education, she still needs an extra teacher, so Li Guilin persuaded his wife Lu Jianfen to stay with her in Pinger Village for 30 years.

The conditions are difficult, but we stick to the land of the "ladder" with responsibility.

At first, Pinger Village didn't even have a decent classroom. It wasn't until Li Guilin and the villagers built an earthen wall and put it on the roof that they managed to clean up a classroom. The problem of the classroom has been solved, and there is another problem that has plagued Pinger Village for a long time, that is, the terrain in Pinger Village is too steep, and students have to climb the "ladder" made of rattan when going to school, which is also the reason why teachers in Pinger Village failed to persist before. However, Li Guilin and Lu Jianfen were not defeated by these difficulties. They insist on sending the children in the village to and from school every week. In addition to teaching and educating people, Li Guilin Lu Jianfen and his wife also bought some medicine for blind date who is inconvenient to go down the mountain.

After 30 years of persistence, Li Guilin and Lu Jianfen have trained nearly 300 students, helping Pinger Village get rid of the label of "illiterate village". Not only that, Li Guilin Lu Jianfen also tried to solve practical problems for Pinger Village. They raise donations to send tap water to every household, and help villagers grow crops on their way to school to improve their harvest ... Lin Jianfen and his wife are teachers, but they are not just teachers. They support the future of Pinger Village with love and stick to the hope of Pinger Village with responsibility.

How's it going now?

The news spread that there are two teachers in Pinger village, who take care of the village everywhere. People were moved by the deeds of Li Guilin and Lu Jianfen, and won many titles such as "National Model Teacher" and "Touching People in China". Li Guilin Lu Jianfen and his wife were also invited to attend the National Day ceremony of the 60th anniversary of the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC) in 2009. The widespread concern of the society has also brought many opportunities for the couple to go down the mountain, but the couple still stick to the mountain.

At that time, I went up the mountain to change the poor fate here. After 30 years, the infrastructure of Pinger Village has changed a lot, but the whole village is still so lonely. Li Guilin and Lu Jianfen said, "As long as we can climb Pinger for one day, we will stick to it forever." This village is not as desolate as it was 30 years ago, with electricity, water and bridges ... I believe Pinger Village will be "blessed" after Li Guilin and Liu Jianfen persist.

summary

The deeds of Li Guilin and Liu Jianfen touched countless people and let us know that there are extraordinary people in a desolate place to change their backward lives. When Li Guilin and Liu Jianfen attended the National Day ceremony, they said, "I feel that the motherland is getting better and better", but we didn't think that the prosperity of the motherland was due to the continuous prosperity of these people who are willing to endure hardships. Sowing hope selflessly in barren places is our example!
