At about eight o'clock in the morning, facing the rising sun, the teachers walked into the campus at a brisk pace, their faces filled with enthusiasm and joy. They are going to attend a spiritual feast-the "April Day on Earth" reading club in Yumen City.
The theme of this reading club is to read a book "Our Old Principal" together, and feel the communication kicked off in the morning recitation of "You are such a person".
Bacon said, "Reading history makes one wise, and reading poetry makes one witty." The book Our Old Principal describes the extraordinary life of an ordinary old principal in an epic way, and shows us the love, cherish and unswerving feelings of Mr. Chen Shiyong for education.
Mr. Chen Lao, who participated in the youth expeditionary force, was born with a hard bone. He knows people well and is good at using them. In order to tap talents, he didn't just talk about identity in the sensitive period at that time, which laid a solid talent foundation for the rise of Jiujiu and Jiuquan Normal University. It not only made Jiuquan Normal School famous, but also changed the life direction of some teachers. As the saying goes, "Come back with love, come back with happiness". In this book, 36 colleagues, friends and students wrote articles to commemorate and cherish Mr. Chen Lao's brilliant educational road and open-minded style. The lines between the lines are sincere and touching.
Wang, the headmaster of Yumen No.3 Middle School, studied in Jiuquan Normal School. He still remembers the scene where the old headmaster danced a long sword in his hand every morning, walked across the campus after the exercise, and recited China's ancient literary masterpieces while walking. Because the sound of reading aloud is a wake-up call for students.
The descriptions of people around us make us feel closer to the old headmaster. Zhao Shuming, then a Chinese teacher at Jiuquan Middle School, described his old headmaster like this: "President Chen is a very strict and responsible teacher and leader, which makes people feel awe and cordial; He is also a completely trustworthy and warm-hearted elder and friend, which makes people feel that a friend of a gentleman is like a spring breeze; What a tireless teacher, telling people to have a clear direction and find a way. "
At the reading meeting, teachers rushed to speak and talk about their feelings, learning from the wisdom and indomitable spirit of the old headmaster in cultivating talents, and his educational concept of "giving students a bowl of water, teachers should have a bucket of water".
In a warm and pleasant atmosphere, time always passes quickly. 1 1:30, the reading meeting ended successfully, and no one left halfway. We learn from each other, discuss with each other, urge and encourage each other, and have our own teaching ideas and determination to cultivate talents.
I believe that with such a group of sentient beings and righteous wise men, Yumen's educational prospects will be bright.
