My anecdotal relationship with my class teacher

? As people grow older, they are nostalgic and fallen leaves return to their roots. This has really become an insurmountable law of life. In my spare time, I can’t help but retrace my steps, take inventory of the journey inn, and sort out my gains and losses, especially the nodes that affect and influence my life trajectory. I can’t help but think of the anecdotes between myself and several class teachers. They are not only gardeners who preach and answer questions, but also guides my life development and interests and aspirations.

Let me first talk about my first teacher, Sun Mancheng, who was also my first class teacher and Chinese teacher. Teacher Sun was originally from Mijiata Village, Getong Commune, Lishi County, and was a standard "teacher" of farmers. He is not very tall, with one shoulder high and one low. There are vague marks on his face that look like vitiligo. At first glance, he looks like someone who has suffered.

? I officially entered school in September 1963. The first-grade classroom at that time was still in the cave dwelling with the big willow tree outside the martyrs' tower in Getong Village. The classmates I can remember include Zhao Houbao, Deng Nuyuan, Bai Runxi, Liu Fangyan, Du Gai'e, Liu Gui'e, Liu Quanhai, Zhao Nu Hu and others, the head teacher is Teacher Sun Mancheng. What he left in my memory is harshness and severe punishment. The most memorable thing is that Teacher Sun used a pointer stick with a skull wrapped around it on one end. He used the skull end to hit the disobedient students who made mistakes, hitting a pair of parallel blisters. I seem to remember that there was a little classmate in my class named Xu Dongyuan who made mistakes and looked unconvinced. Teacher Sun got angry and hit the left side with the pointer stick, turned his head to the right, and then If you knock on the right side, your head will turn to the left, which will hurt. It is this kind of severity that makes students scared to death, it can be said to be terrifying, and the punishment methods are also very famous in the whole school. I remember that I once assigned an essay that I didn’t finish on time for some unknown reason. The title of the essay was "My Home." I always thought that as a monitor, I had never made a similar mistake and Teacher Sun would definitely forgive me and not do it again. I never expected that I would be called to the office and given a scolding and a tap with a pointer. In an instant, two or three parallel blisters appeared. It hurt so much that stars popped out of my eyes.

Later, the classroom was moved to the courtyard of Getong Complete Primary School on the left. There is a slope in the middle of the campus. There are eight or nine classrooms on both sides of the slope. There are four or five classrooms on the slope. Our lower grades are on the slope. above. Since Teacher Sun’s punishment, I have become more careful and more self-disciplined. As the Cultural Revolution unfolded vigorously across the country, older students went out to join forces to "make revolution". We, the younger "Red Soldiers", were not allowed to go out, but we could recite Chairman Mao's quotations, recite the third chapter, and block the road to ask for recitation of quotations. Making it a compulsory course for students can be said to be a hundred times more serious. Once, the school held a competition for reciting three old poems the next day. The day before, Teacher Sun asked me to participate and get good results. At that time, I only memorized "Serving the People" and "In Memory of Bethune", and "The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountains" was not memorized at all. I didn't recite it. After accepting the task, I worked hard all night under a kerosene lamp. The competition was held as scheduled the next day, and the recitation performance was fully completed.

Since ancient times, Taoist teachers have produced great disciples. Although the chaotic situation of the Cultural Revolution has taken shape during the five years of primary school life, under the strict management of Teacher Sun, we still learned a lot of words and learned some enlightenment knowledge. , which laid the foundation for subsequent studies and pointed the way for healthy growth.

? After growing up and entering the society, I sometimes bump into Teacher Sun on the street. The instinctive fear that has been formed since childhood arises spontaneously, but besides the fear, there is endless admiration and gratitude, because Teacher Sun He is the enlightenment teacher of my life.

My second head teacher was Li Sixong.

In 1969, the original Getong Middle School began to resume classes and start a revolution. A group of teachers were suddenly transferred. On the basis of the original teachers Gao Boting, Meng Qinghua, Wang Xueqian, Li Yuting, Zhang Chunpu, Qu Zhenqi and other teachers , Dong Qicheng, Li Jian, Li Sixong, Luo Long, Zhu Shumin, Cao Chunmao and other famous university students were newly transferred to teach. I entered Class 21 of Getong Middle School in 1970. At that time, there were four classes in Getong Middle School: Class 1 and Class 20. Class 20 of Class 19 entered the school half a year earlier than us. Among the classmates who can remember are Liu Fangyan, Li Zhibin, Feng Aiping, Du Gai'e, Jia Houdan, Li Jinlan, Xiao Pingping, Li Gensheng, Xiao Youyuan, Liu Jinmei, Zhao Houbao, etc. The class teacher is Li Sixong, who just graduated from Beijing Normal University.

Education at that time was severely impacted and damaged by the Cultural Revolution. "Excellence in learning leads to officialdom" was heavily criticized. University examinations were canceled and replaced with recommended admissions. Junior high school courses only included text, mathematics, basic industrial knowledge, and basic agricultural knowledge. .

All courses such as physics, chemistry, and foreign languages ??have been cancelled. Against this background, it has become a great blessing for us to have graduates from Beijing Normal University serve as class teachers and teach Chinese classes.

? This is exactly the case. Teacher Li Sixong is tall and thin, elegant with a slight smile, and looks like a bookish person. After taking a Chinese class to try his skills, Mr. Li’s profound knowledge, large amount of information, and humorous language made us, children from Xiaoshangou, shine in front of us. It was like entering the ocean of knowledge, and the knowledge gained in the classroom was far-reaching. Because of my love for Teacher Li, it became the common knowledge of our class. As the squad leader (called platoon leader at the time), I had the opportunity to get in touch with Teacher Li. I draft the class summary every six months, and organize and publish the weekly blackboard report. I often go to Teacher Li’s office when I have something to do, and his words and deeds are always reflected in my mind. One time we published a blackboard newspaper on Sunday. We usually arrange and write, and Teacher Li draws the masthead. This time, there were few people on campus on Sunday, so I tried to draw the masthead. Unexpectedly, Teacher Li found out and immediately announced that I would draw the masthead from now on. If he didn't Get involved.

It was also from this time that I learned to draw colored chalk mastheads, draw advertising colored mastheads, and learn to write various artistic calligraphy. The wall posters and blackboard newspapers in the class were all my masterpieces, and the school’s propaganda slogans Writing fine art characters has become my venue.

Things did not develop as expected. After Fangshan was divided into counties in 1971, Getong Middle School was changed to Fangshan County No. 1 Middle School and enrolled high school classes for the first time. Teacher Li Sixong was regarded as an outstanding The Chinese teacher was transferred to the class teacher of the high school class and took over the Chinese class. Our Grade 21 class was temporarily under the care of Teacher Liu Guangyu from Grade 22 Grade, and he never left a deep impression on us.

? Later, Teacher Li Sixong was transferred back to Taiyuan No. 15 Middle School to teach, and I also entered the society. But my admiration and respect for Teacher Li Sixong has not diminished at all. In 1986, fellow fellow Hou Wenfu and I were both studying full-time at the Provincial Party School, and we made an appointment to visit Teacher Li once. Last year, my grandson was hospitalized. There was a teacher from No. 15 Middle School in the same ward. I asked if he knew Teacher Li Sixong? They said they knew her and gave me their landline and mobile phone numbers. I tried to contact them several times, but no one answered. When I asked about Teacher Dong Qicheng at a dinner table, Teacher Dong said that Teacher Li was in his seventies, in poor health, a bit introverted, and didn't want to socialize. I sincerely wish Teacher Li good health and longevity.

? The third head teacher is Teacher Cao Chunmao from the high school. At the beginning of 1972, we entered the third class of Fangshan No. 1 Middle School. Most of our classmates could be called by their names and we chatted in the class group every day, so we didn’t mention them individually. At that time, the first and second grades of high school were one year ahead of us, and we were in the same grade as the normal class. Our class teacher was Cao Chunmao, who also took charge of the Chinese class. Teacher Cao can also be regarded as a scholar-teacher. He is rigorous in teaching, caring about students, and careful in management. He claims that his knowledge is slightly inferior to that of Li Sixong, and his language is slightly inferior to that of Teacher Zhu Shumin. However, he is still loved by the whole class for his rigorous scholarship.

? Not long after school started, I took on the job of class monitor again. Naturally, I had more opportunities to contact the class teacher than other students. Generally speaking, I feel that Teacher Cao is a good teacher that we respect. At that time, there was a "resurgence of the bourgeois education line". Due to their age, students were eager for knowledge with unprecedented intensity. Educational management also began to emerge. In high school, they began to study physics and chemistry in junior high school and some high school mathematics.

But something unexpected happened. In the second half of our sophomore year, Teacher Cao was suddenly transferred back to the Jiexiu Propaganda Department. Changing the class teacher and Chinese teacher became an unchangeable reality. Then Teacher Li Tianfeng was transferred to the class teacher and became the head teacher. Generation Chinese class. Teacher Li is also considered a college student, so he should be qualified based on his qualifications and academic qualifications. However, taking over someone else's class is inherently challenging, just like the show's ratings plummeted after the host of "Avenue of Stars" was replaced by Bi Fujian. Within a few days, the entire class strongly requested that the Chinese teacher be changed. Finally, everyone recommended the class cadres and school administrators. During the negotiation, several of our class cadres, who were innocent, first went to Teacher Li and made it clear that we felt that the Chinese class was poorly taught and wanted to seek advice from the school leaders. Teacher Li immediately stated: "You can report it to the school leaders and they can be replaced. I have no objection." Then we went to Principal Qu Zhenqi and strongly requested that the head teacher and Chinese teacher be replaced. The school quickly studied and agreed to the students' request. , the class teacher is concurrently served by mathematics teacher Wang Xueqian, and the Chinese class is taken by teacher Zhu Shumin.

In this way, we ended our high school studies and entered the society. I responded to the call and joined the ranks of educated young people who went to the mountains and countryside. I went to Gaojiagou Farm in Dianping, Fangshan County to join the team. Some of my other classmates Continuing their studies, some became teachers, some served as soldiers, and some returned to the countryside.

I feel deeply sorry for Teacher Li Tianfeng now. The main reason I am sorry is that he was too straightforward, too innocent, and too ruthless.

? Last August, the senior class of senior high school students gathered at Fangshan. Several organizers wanted to invite Teacher Cao back. Classmate Wang Zhiwen contacted the Jiexiu Propaganda Department to confirm that Teacher Cao Chunmao had passed away. Our whole class deeply regrets it.

I have written so much indiscriminately. The anecdotal relationship between my class teacher and I has indeed affected and influenced my life. I often miss and admire them. I sincerely wish the teachers who are still alive good health, longevity and happiness. My deepest condolences for his passing!
