Listen to Mr. Pan Shouyu's speech at Peking University-there are always some people and things in your life that make your heart surge and tears fill your eyes. Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has had people who have done harm for the people, people who have done harm for the people, and people who have dedicated themselves to the law. -They are the backbone of China. ? Nanny for poor children; Our friends; People's mentor: Tao Xingzhi! Yunshan is gray, and the rivers and seas are vast; Gentleman's wind, the mountain is high and the water is long!
Come with a heart, not a grass! Spread love all over the world!
Education is for the public, and access to the world is for the public.
Today, we cherish the memory of Tao Xingzhi in order to borrow Mr. Wang's lofty spirit, let it be like fire, let it be like light, let it re-illuminate the hearts of every teacher, and illuminate the practical spirit of unity of knowledge and practice and love for the motherland.
I only hope that on that day, I can continue the light of Teacher Wang and turn it into a meaningful light.
You will ask, you will ask, today, all teachers are rich, all teachers are teaching people, but are there really such people who use their quality of life to make the word mentor have a different weight? Will there really be such a person who will use his own light to make the word mentor have that brilliant brilliance? You should have the answer by now, because it is not far away, because not long ago, such people really existed. He stood here, and he warmed China with his life. He is Tao Xingzhi, and he is the mentor of the people. One thing he told us all his life is that a teacher can still live like this.
19 17, Mr. Wang's eyes are full of scars, and the country is incredibly poor. Tao Xingzhi said that the root of the disease is education. At that time, there were 200 million illiterate people in China, and 70 million children had no chance to receive education. Tao Xingzhi at that time, as far as he knows, could have turned into an adult; At that time, Tao Xingzhi, with what he had learned, could talk and laugh between Confucianism and Confucianism. And he fixed his eyes on the lowest society in China. Tao Xingzhi soberly said that this country is based on agriculture, and nine times out of ten people live in rural areas. Therefore, education in China is rural education, because there is no hope for the country without improvement in the countryside.
He said, and then he did. Tao Xingzhi took off his suit, resigned as a university professor, and promoted civilian education. What is this concept? Ladies and gentlemen, Tao Xingzhi's monthly income at that time was 400 yuan. At that time, if he wanted to buy a set of quadrangles in Beijing, he only needed three months' salary. And all this, Tao Xingzhi doesn't want it. He moved to Xiaozhuang, a very backward and poor ordinary village in China, and lived in a cowshed. When he met his fellow villagers, he gradually had a seemingly unreachable wish, that is, to train one million rural teachers for China.
In Xiaozhuang, Tao Xingzhi led the students to farm, work and build their own school buildings. He said that only by sweating can you eat your own food, and you have to do your own thing. Tao Xingzhi does not want to train senior intellectuals, but teachers among the people. He invited his friends and scholars to teach in Xiaozhuang and spread new knowledge and ideas. Gradually, Xiaozhuang, a humble university hall, has grown from dozens to hundreds. Tao Xingzhi walked between secular villages and on the street. He wants to help the most ordinary people in China, elderly grandparents, servants of rich families, helpers of rich families, street handyman, the strength of the freight yard, and the master who pulls foreign chartered cars to study.
He is working hard alone, and the bud of his dream has broken through the ground. When we see the flowers bloom, we will open trees. Yes, where Tao Xingzhi is, there is hope for civilian education. In Wuhan, Chongqing, Shanghai and Nanjing, he was on the road for the rise of education in China, and finally his husband died on the road.
1On July 25th, 946, Tao Xingzhi died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage from overwork in Shanghai at the age of 55. 65438+February 1, Mr. Wang's coffin returned to Nanjing, and the people of Nanjing spontaneously helped Mr. Wang. They want to send this man back to his village. People along the road are singing and crying: you are gone, our poor child's nanny, our friend, and the people's mentor. The elegiac couplet is floating, and it says that Mr. Xingzhi is eternal. Next to it are the four vigorous characters of "Universal Master" inscribed by Soong Ching Ling.
Mr. Wang said, I will bring a heart without half a blade of grass; Sir, I am a civilian in China. After decades of school education, I gradually moved closer to the direction of western aristocrats, but after some understanding, I burst my banks like the Yellow River and rushed back to the road of China civilians.
