1985 autumn, September, continuous autumn rain lasted for many days. Looking up, the trees on the mountain are more lush under the erosion of rain. On Sichuan Road, the water flow of Hulu River is much higher than usual, and the misty mountains and rivers are shrouded in misty rain ... This situation is full of deep feelings in the face of places that will leave this job for several years, as well as colleagues and classmates who live together day and night.
I reported to Lianjiabian Forest Farm with the order of the Science and Education Section of the Forestry Department at that time. At that time, even the family was more convenient than the steamed stuffed bun Sichuan and Donghua Pool where it was located in previous years. National Highway 309 passes in front of the school, and there are shuttle buses to Yan 'an, Xifeng and Heshui every day. After returning farmland to forest (from oil plant to state-owned forest farm), this nine-year compulsory school was built to solve the problem of children of forest farm workers going to school. Recruit students from several forest farms in Pingdingchuan, Taibai and Lianjiabian. At the beginning of the school, before the new school building was built, a row of stone hoop classrooms in front of the auditorium, warehouse and staff hospital were used. The auditorium of the field department is used as a classroom during the day and as a student dormitory at night. The difference between school buildings and teaching conditions can be imagined. However, the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of teachers are very high. They prepare lessons carefully, attend classes, correct homework and carry out teaching and research activities. One of the few teachers who study in the same class provides professional guidance, exchanges, help and guidance to young teachers. The atmosphere of study and work is very harmonious.
Two. The first teacher's day
There is an orchard next to the farm. When I first arrived at Lianjialian, it was just the time when the apple was ripe. Aunt Ma and Aunt Xue, who look at the orchard, send me some apples from time to time. From leaders to employees, the meticulous care for our newcomers has made me feel deep warmth and warmth in this cold autumn. September this year 10 coincides with the first Teachers' Day. Leaders from the Ministry of Forestry, the general farm, various forest farms and forestry stations came to the school to express their condolences to the teachers. In addition to distributing condolences, they also held a forum. The leaders first congratulated all the teachers who attended the meeting (all the teachers from forest farm schools and forestry stations gathered in Lianjialian Forest Farm that day), and then set up Teacher's Day from the purpose of the country, so that teachers can build for the country and forestry. As well as the expectations and requirements for teachers, many teachers also made statements. My oral speech mainly talked about two aspects: the establishment of Teacher's Day reflects the importance attached by the party and the state to education and the status of teachers, and how teachers can strengthen their own literacy, which has won unanimous praise from the leaders and teachers attending the meeting. I remember there were many condolences on the first Teachers' Day. I remembered three of them, a handbag, a stainless steel telescopic pointer with a ballpoint pen and a signature pen. We were the first to see this signature pen at that time. Some people said it was imported, but at that time it was novel and precious. The fact is, we are used to it today, and we can buy each pen for one yuan. Every time I think about it, it makes people feel a lot. The changes that have taken place in the lives of our country and people in these decades can really be described as "earth-shaking" and "changing with each passing day"! At the dinner after the meeting, several forest farms slaughtered beef and mutton for this festival. After the festival, they gave us free food on the big stove for many days. ...
In my later teaching career, I spent 34 consecutive Teachers' Days, but what I remember most is the first Teachers' Day I spent in Lianjiabian Forest Farm Workers' Children's School.
3. Participate in school construction.
In order to improve the conditions for running a school, a new school building was built in the orchard in the east of the forest farm, and classrooms, student dormitories and student stoves were quickly built and put into use. All our teachers lead students to take an active part in the construction of the school after school, on weekends and holidays, transform and green the campus, level the playground, lay the classroom floor, and personally set up a ceiling shed for the classroom and faculty. It is worth mentioning that all our teachers are newly-built classrooms, staff dormitories and student dormitories. Under the leadership of President Gao Bingsheng and the technical guidance of Teacher Liu Zhiyu, we hung ceilings on all classrooms, dormitories and canteens in our school on Sundays and holidays.
We drew lines on the wall with a black bucket, measured the size, chiseled our eyes, put on reeds, and tied them with silk, thus forming a Fang Gezi of the same size. Then we put the linoleum paper painted with white and light green paint into it, lay it flat on these Fang Gezi, and fix it. It didn't go well at first, and the progress was slow. Later, when we became proficient, we worked more smoothly and faster. At that time, it was a holiday and I worked for dozens of days. No one gives a penny subsidy, no one goes home after work, and no one buys food on the big stove. No one complained, complained, and no one complained.
In the work of greening the campus, something happened, which still haunts me after more than 30 years. It was a chilly early spring, and I led my students to dig juniper seedlings on the hill opposite Tal Bay Forestry Station. This place has beautiful scenery, and the stone carvings on the cliff are here.
According to textual research, the word "blue sky" was written by Chen Yun, the champion of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty. He worked in Ningxia, passed by here in Jiajing Renzi Year (1552) and stayed in the post office. It was the early morning of early spring, the rising sun, the morning glow reflected on the water, and the golden light floated. The cliffs and Woods on the west bank of Miaocun River are reflected by the glow, with red in blue and beautiful. Chen Yun looked at the scenery and wrote "The sky is blue, the sky is blue" with a muddy pen. Later, the supervisor of Fuping Huidong carved this stone according to the inspection and left it here.
Before going to work, the school leaders repeatedly stressed the importance of safety, and I also made specific arrangements and division of labor. However, when returning from the task, several students found a beautiful juniper tree, so they suggested digging it down and taking it back. When Yang's classmate picked up the shovel head and dug down, Meng's classmate put his head forward. As a result, Meng's head was smashed and blood flowed down the student's head and face instantly. The student held his head and said, "I'm fine." But when I saw this, I fainted on the spot ... and then I went back to the staff hospital to change my medicine. As a result, there was no big nai, the hat was cut and the scalp was broken. This has scared me for decades.
After several years of hard work, our new campus has become more beautiful. We watered the green sapling on campus with sweat, and now it is graceful!
My colleague
At that time, Lianjiabian Forest Farm Workers' Children's School was a nine-year compulsory school, which was divided into a middle school department and a primary school department. ? Gao, the principal of the school, is an educated youth. After graduating from Lanzhou Railway Middle School in the 1960s, he responded to the call of the state and went to work in the Corps Farm at that time. In the middle and late 1970s, some educated youths were recruited to Changqing Oilfield as workers, and some returned to the city for resettlement. But at that time, because he had married a female worker surnamed Li on the farm at that time and had two sons, he missed these opportunities and stayed on the farm to be a teacher in the later school for children of forest farm workers. At the beginning of school, he was transferred from Dashanmen Forest Farm Workers' Children's School to Lianjialian to take charge of school work. Although he is not from a regular school, his years of teaching practice and hard study have made him an expert in education, teaching and school management. At that time, he was studying at the Correspondence University of Northwest Normal University. He attends classes in person and holds several positions, which has played a great role in the construction and development of the school, the formation of good teaching style and study style, and the cultivation of young teachers.
In 1950s, Meng Fanyi, Party Secretary and Vice President of the Branch, responded to the call of the state to support the construction of the frontier and northwest China. He came from Henan, Central Plains, and taught at the Farm Children's School of the Second Division of Northwest Forestry Construction at that time. When the new school was established, he transferred from the school for the children of workers in grass-roots forestry stations to the school for the children of workers in Lianjiabian Forest Farm. Teacher Meng's greatest feature is diligence. He personally participated in all school activities, took the lead in the old school activities, attended classes in person, and made his own teaching AIDS. He is easy-going, unpretentious and usually doesn't like neatness. It is difficult for someone who doesn't know to judge his true identity from his appearance.
Kong Yongxiang, director of education, is a talented young man transferred from Dashanmen Forest Farm Workers' Children School. He graduated from Qingyang Teachers College at that time (today's Longdong College) and was one of the few real graduates at that time. He is knowledgeable, quick-thinking and knowledgeable. He is the mentor of young teachers and has played a decisive role in the construction and development of the school.
? Teachers Li Xiaoping, Wang, Liu Farong, Liang, Zhao Fahong, Su Wei, Li, Wang Shoutai and Qi Xiangping are outstanding backbones of education and teaching and experts in educational reform. Their arrival has brought great vitality to the educational growth of students and the work of the school!
My colleagues and I remember teachers as follows:,,, Yu, Xing Chunyue, An, Zhao, Zhou Aying, Tuomeiying, Zong Xianlun, Ma Chunli, Lu, Kang Xialing, Cheng Zhongjian, Shen Minghe, Dunwei, Liu Zhengping, Shi Cuihua, Yin Xueliang and so on. They have been working for years or even decades.
Today's Ziwuling is shaded by trees, and the young trees of that year have grown into pillars. From here, the first graduates go to the society and all parts of the country.
The most important career in the world is to educate people with trees. In this ordinary and great career, there is sweat and hard work shed by my colleagues and me. People in Ziwuling and Lingshangling can't forget them, nor should they forget them!
