No, no regrets, absolutely no regrets.
One day in August, 2003, the art department received a phone call from the secretary Wen of the department, saying that there was a plan for college students to volunteer to serve the west and asked him if he would go. Wang Chenglin said, go ahead and sign up with Teacher Fan of the Youth League Committee. At that time, he didn't even know where he was going to be sent or what the volunteer was going to do, so he thought, this volunteer is good at serving others. And then what? After graduating from college, I was very excited at that time. No matter what it was, I thought the country would not deceive people. Anyway, it was all good. ? Until the youth league training after registration, Wang Chenglin asked the then department minister:? Where are you taking me? ? Answer him? Go to Yongsheng? . ? At that time, I thought it was Yong Shan of Zhaotong. Wang Chenglin said with a smile that this was the first time he heard where he was going.
At that time, Wang Chenglin had found a job in Kunming High-tech Development Zone, a design company in Chinese mainland, with a monthly basic salary of 2,500 yuan, and even signed a contract. But he signed up to be a volunteer in the west, went to Yongsheng, a national poverty-stricken county, and received a monthly subsidy from 600 yuan. Wang Chenglin said frankly:? To tell the truth, I really didn't consider these things at that time. If I had, I wouldn't be like this, would I? ,? In fact, up to now, I have never regretted it. ? That's what he usually says in class with students. In fact, there are still opportunities for people to make money all their lives, but not everyone must develop from this aspect. In fact, there are many beautiful things in life. Do you want to know how to satisfy and enjoy? In his view, what you enjoy will certainly be different. Some people enjoy the happiness brought by money, while others enjoy the happiness of the soul. Some things are different, not how good the salary is. After all, this kind of thing is different. ?
Recalling the first time I went to Yongsheng, Wang Chenglin felt a little sorry. When I first came to Yongsheng, to be honest, I didn't even dare to sleep. At that time, in the sleeping car, looking at the winding mountain road, I only pulled the handle on the car door on the roof and held it tightly, sweating all the time, but I just didn't dare to let go? This is Wang Chenglin's first impression. He told reporters that it takes seven to eight hours to drive from Yongsheng to Kunming, and there are often mudslides on the main roads. Debris flow is coming, the road is gone, all gone? . Speaking of Yongsheng's first feeling, Wang Chenglin immediately said:? Small! ? On their first night in Yongsheng, the county party secretary told them: You have a good rest and I will take you shopping tomorrow. ? Everyone in this line wants to, so have a good rest. The foot of the street is sore after shopping. The next day, everyone put on their sneakers. ? Go two or three hundred meters east, two or three hundred meters west, and two or three hundred meters in all directions. The secretary told us that we had finished shopping. ? Wang Chenglin told reporters with a smile.
Yongsheng County has a population of 380,000, inhabited by 12 ethnic minorities, and has 15 townships (including 7 ethnic townships), 8 of which belong to cold and barren townships. Yongsheng has few mineral resources and its economic development lags behind. Its county town covers a small area, and it only takes 50 minutes to walk all the streets. After working in Yongsheng for three years, Wang Chenglin once returned to the Art College, met Zhang Ming, the head of the printmaking department, and asked about the recent situation. Wang Chenglin told him; ? Lijiang Yongsheng? Teacher Zhang was surprised at that time:? Your home is not Yongsheng, is it? ? ,? I remember you are from Qujing, right? Qujing is so good that people run to good places. How can you run to the mountains? ? Wang Chenglin is said with a smile,? I'm more suitable for that kind of place. ? Ask Wang Chenglin? Have you ever regretted this choice? ? Wang Chenglin replied without thinking:? No, no regrets, absolutely no regrets. ? Say that finish, I laugh.
Yongsheng, the first art teacher to graduate from college.
In 2003, when she was assigned to work, Wang Chenglin was assigned to a township and answered the phone with civil servants every day. After a while, he told the secretary of the Youth League Committee. I don't like this job. Let me teach. Let me go to any elementary school or anywhere. ? In this way, he was sent to Yongsheng No.1 Middle School and became an art teacher. Before he came to Yongsheng, there was only one art teacher in Yongsheng No.1 Middle School, especially in high school, and he didn't even have art classes, and he was the first art teacher who graduated from Yongsheng County.
Wang Chenglin always asks questions in every class. Raise your hand if you have taken art classes in junior high school and primary school? But, a class? No more than ten people, no more than ten people. ? Compared with other areas, the art education in Yongsheng County has been very developed. Ten years ago, it was great to ask the same question with at most two students in a class. ? In 2003, just after he was admitted to high school, the school didn't even have textbooks, so he went to Kunming to buy a set of textbooks for his art class in high school at that time and gave lectures to students in combination with university courses.
A year later, when Wang Chenglin's volunteer service ended, the then director of the Education Bureau told him to stay here. So, Wang Chenglin officially became a teacher in Yongsheng No.1 Middle School and stayed there for ten years. When it comes to students, it is hard to hide his love in his tone: I feel very happy with students. This is a different feeling. It is especially pleasant to deal with students. Still no way? Show off? Road? Do you know what my students call me? They all call me Wang Ge and Lao Wang. Then imitate the tone of classmates greeting him. Hi, Lao Wang . Before that, Wang Chenglin never thought of becoming a teacher in the future. When he graduated, he also refused the invitation of Kunming Xishan No.1 Middle School. Although he also taught classes and students during college holidays, he also liked students. But I never really thought about where to be a teacher in the future. I suddenly felt this way after I came to Yongsheng No.1 Middle School to teach. ?
Slowly, Wang Chenglin fell in love with Yongsheng and the people here. People here are easy to get along with, especially simple? I fell in love with the climate here: the climate is particularly good, the temperature difference is not big, and the highest in summer is 27 or 8 degrees. ?
Does he like it? The pace of life here is particularly slow. He smiled and explained, maybe? Many people who study art don't like to compete for fame and gain. Most people prefer to live a slightly more comfortable romantic life. ?
Now, Wang Chenglin and another teacher have taken on all the art classes in Yongsheng No.1 Middle School. In addition to being in charge of art classes in Grade One and Seven, he also gives professional guidance to art students in Grade Two and Grade Three at night. There are 2, 3, 7 and 8 art students in Yongsheng No.1 Middle School, and now there are more than 20 students in one grade. Professional consultation is basically Wang Chenglin. The school has specially set up classrooms for these students to study professionally. These courses are not Wang Chenglin's class hours, but extra tutoring, and there is no extra income. What supports his selfless dedication is his enthusiasm for students and career.
It's just that Wang Chenglin, the art teacher, gets along well with his students, just like his brothers and sisters. He told them that money was not a problem as long as they wanted to study hard. Some students have no money to go home or have no living expenses. Wang Chenglin will help them directly. Naturally, don't think about it at all? Tell them. If you don't pay it back, just study hard? . Talking about his art class, Wang Chenglin said? Specialized courses are different from cultural courses, so leave after class. From a certain point of view, the professional courses of art need to be taught by hand every night, and it is one-on-one teaching, so the feeling is different. ? He once taught a hard of hearing student. At that time, he was basically deaf in class and didn't wear hearing AIDS until he graduated from college. At that time, when Wang Chenglin gave him a lecture, he wrote everything he wanted to say on paper because the students couldn't hear him. He wrote everything he needed to write, and then pointed at him and asked him if he understood. If he doesn't understand, he will continue to write. In this way, the student was finally admitted to a junior college and has been teaching in a primary school for almost two years.
In the past ten years, nearly 90% of the more than 200 college entrance art students taught by Wang Chenglin have been admitted to undergraduate courses, and other students have also entered the college. At ordinary times, Wang Chenglin guides and encourages them to make positive contributions to society while tutoring their majors. More than 65,438+000 students participated in provincial, municipal and county painting and calligraphy exhibitions, some of which were published in school newspapers and journals, and more than 40 students won prizes. Personal works have also participated in exhibitions and won awards in counties and cities for many times, and the work "Others" was collected by the County Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting.
What does Wang Chenglin say to students the most? I hope you are stronger than me? . ? Must be better than me, if not as good as me, I think that is my biggest failure. One is that you are not as good as me, and the other is that I didn't teach you well. ? When asked? If you had a choice, would you go out? ? Wang Chenglin immediately shook his head,? I'm not going out. I'm not going out. Positive tone? The reason why the outside is good is that there are many contact ways, and here also has its advantages. I'm not the kind of person who fights for money completely. If I were that kind of person, big cities would be better. ? Maybe different from others, he thought. The idea of being a teacher, you can't just tell students that there is nothing wonderful outside, so you must come back. I can't say that. Teachers sometimes have to compare with themselves. They can make contributions here, but they should try their best to encourage students to go to wonderful places. ?
I feel very happy, and people think I am happier.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, teachers are low-paid and hard-working, especially art teachers? No status? But Wang Chenglin said? I feel very happy, and people think I am happier. ? Say that finish and laugh, how about it? People think I'm smart. I can't move in front of the blackboard for two hours. I can make jokes in class, let them listen to music properly and tell them jokes. Is it free? He said, this can't be rigid? When it comes to art education, Wang Chenglin lamented that although our country has increased the proportion of art education, it is still not enough. Art is too important in our life, especially in primary and secondary schools? ,? Children need the influence of art more, not to say that children can't understand art. Simply put, art is the beauty, happiness, beauty and comfort in children's hearts. But now these beautiful things are getting farther and farther away from children, and the learning burden is too heavy. If art classes start, I will feel relaxed, but once these classes stop, I will have to wait for physical education class. ?
In his view, the biggest gain from coming to Yongsheng is to become a teacher. Otherwise, you may never be a teacher? . He said,? I like being a teacher? ,? The best thing about the teaching profession is how many people don't respect teachers when they get rich, but across the world, teachers are still respected in people's hearts. Although we have seen some uncivilized teachers online or somewhere, in any case, this piece is the quietest and cleanest. ? He believes that until now, teaching a book for one day is equivalent to giving students a day's money. Standing on the platform, you should speak this lesson well. Have this mentality, not perfunctory. ?
Speaking of the future, Wang Chenglin said? I think I will be a teacher all my life, if nothing happens, haha.
Now Wang Chenglin has taken root in Yongsheng, formed a happy family, and a lovely 6-and-a-half-year-old child. His wife is an English teacher in Yongsheng No.1 Middle School, and his father-in-law used to be a teacher.
Ten years have passed, and another art teacher in Yongsheng No.1 Middle School is not what he was ten years ago. During this period, some students from Wang Chenglin returned to Yongsheng to teach after graduating from college, while Wang Chenglin, an art teacher in Yongsheng No.1 Middle School, insisted on his own artistic concept and lived artistically, never stopping? Know life? And never give up through aesthetic education, so that students in national poverty-stricken counties can accept the influence and value of beauty.
