I learned the news of teacher Zhou's death from a circle of friends.
Miss Zhou's full name is Zhou Chonglian. My high school math teacher, high flyers, graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Beijing Normal University in six years. Teach us that by this time, he has a reputation. National special grade teacher, one of the best math teachers in China.
Although it is quite famous, when we mentioned Mr. Zhou among our classmates, everyone was stunned, and then suddenly it dawned on us: Oh, you mean Mr. Zhou.
I still don't know why my classmates call him Master Zhou, or the abbreviation of Teacher Zhou, or think that he is a master, or use the honorific title of Master Shaanxi.

When I first met Mr. Zhou, I was attracted by his glasses. The shriveled old man will look at you for a while, and then explain with a strong Shaanxi accent: What do you think of my glasses? The box is square and the box is round. ......
I don't know why he always wears such strange glasses. High myopia is certain. Maybe the vision difference between the two eyes is too big. Anyway, this is definitely not like Alan Tam's style.
Behind the glasses are a lot of supercilious eyes, and there is always a disdainful arrogance in their eyes. Holding his washed faded blue tunic suit and an old black briefcase with a handle. It always makes people feel a pleasant feeling in seriousness.

When I was a freshman, Teacher Zhou took us to a solid geometry class. Every time he goes to class, he is under pressure. He asked us to preview our books at home and come directly to ask questions and solve problems in class.
Now that several decades have passed, an American classmate said that the United States advocates a kind of reform education, that is, the reverse classroom, which means that students can study at home and then return to the classroom, and the teacher answers questions. This ability training method coincides with the teaching method of Mr. Zhou decades ago.
Teacher Zhou is used to talking about a knowledge point or theorem in class, so students can practice or prove it on the blackboard.
One day in class, Mr. Zhou asked me to go to the podium to prove a theorem: two straight lines that are not on the same plane cannot intersect. I didn't have the concept of spatial thinking, so I drew two straight lines on the blackboard and crossed them.
The students burst out laughing. Hanging on the blackboard, I only heard Miss Zhou standing behind her gnashing her teeth and saying, Yang Moumou, you are the student with the lowest IQ I have ever seen.
This sentence gave me a great blow in adolescence, and I have been afraid to perform or speak in public for more than ten years.
I held a grudge for this for many years, until I mentioned it among my classmates the year before last.
A classmate secretly believed me: Don't diss Zhou Shi in the group. He has many fans among his classmates, and you will arouse public anger.
Teacher Zhou knows that he loves to swear, and he is liked by so many students behind his back. It should be very gratifying.

Teacher Zhou's preference for good students is particularly obvious. At that time, he was the head teacher of Class Five. At the end of the semester, all the students with good math scores were selected by him to Class Five for various reasons.
However, his choice of students is really unique and accurate. The students he later selected either went to famous schools such as Tsinghua Peking University or made special achievements in a certain field.
Later, when I chatted with my classmates, I realized that many students had been scolded by Teacher Zhou, but everyone remembered when they were scolded.
A classmate revealed: Do you know? Students who were scolded by Mr. Zhou in those days should feel honored. He will be very strict with the students he values, and hate iron to produce steel.
Finally, when I was scolded, I was relieved and secretly pleased: I turned out to be a good student in the eyes of Teacher Zhou.
At the same time, I can't help but question myself: I was also scolded, and my classmates were ashamed and brave. How could I collapse?
I just came to Xi 'an from the countryside to go to school, and I feel a little inferior. Maybe I have poor psychological endurance. Most importantly, I may want to find a grand excuse for my later unsuccessful life.

Teacher Zhou not only has a set of lectures, but also is good at summarizing teaching methods.
"What do you think the answer is? The answer is obvious! " "If the basic questions are not done wrong, the problems can be done." Teacher Zhou talked about the basis of teaching habits, and asked everyone to do every small question perfectly, instead of focusing on the difficult points.
Many students got full marks in mathematics in the college entrance examination that year, benefiting from a solid foundation. Even I, a student with low IQ in my teacher's mouth, got more than 100 in math.
In addition to teaching methods, Mr. Zhou also has a set of unique educational theories, which students call quotations from teachers.
1. You always walk at night, and you always meet ghosts.
Travel around during the day and borrow oil to mend your crotch at night.
3. Why do you object to praise? Because praise is false! Why do you object to multiple solutions to one problem? Because many solutions to a problem are stupid!
Tick-tock is "reading you", but it doesn't mean it is right.
You are still coquettish, so there is nothing to be coquettish about!
6. Sad soldiers will win! …………
Seeing my classmates' humorous and sharp golden sentences, I deeply realized the simple and sincere values. I saw a dismissive expression behind Miss Zhou's round glasses. I can't help laughing out of tears, laughing out of tears.
06
A classmate commented on Mr. Zhou like this: I was still young at that time. Although I respected him very much, I still couldn't fully understand him. Looking back now, I have the demeanor of a master.
This is also my heart.
Miss Zhou, have a good trip!
