-A glimpse of Chongqing's counterpart support for Wuxi education
There is an ancient and magical land at the southern foot of Daba Mountain in the west of China and the northeast border of Chongqing in the Three Gorges. Witch culture was born here almost at the same time as Huaxia culture in the Central Plains, and there is also a hanging coffin with a thousand-year secret realm and an ancient plank road across the cliff-that is, Wuxi County, Chongqing.
However, Wuxi is a county with the most remote location, the most blocked traffic, the worst environment, the most backward development and the poorest economy in the city. It is one of the 237 national key counties for poverty alleviation and development, and the development of education is more difficult. Eighty thousand poor students are in urgent need of knowledge to change their destiny.
In order to accelerate the development of poverty-stricken areas, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have implemented counterpart support policies while increasing investment. They insist on the combination of poverty alleviation and intellectual support, taking education as a breakthrough. They devote themselves wholeheartedly to effectively promoting the rapid development of education in Wuxi. Since then, Wuxi, a barren land, has become a field of hope! In this field of hope, there is also a touching story-
A new year's gift that changes your destiny.
On February 8, 2002, the Chinese New Year will be celebrated in two days. Wan Ling, a student in Class Five, Grade One, Cheng Xiang Middle School, is very worried. She is talking with her parents about going out to work. Her frail parents were sad to see her daughter admitted to high school, but she had no money to continue her studies and realize her college dream. But on this day, Wan Ling received a special New Year gift. Comrade Huang, member of the Standing Committee of Chongqing Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor, sent her 2000 yuan to pay for her high school tuition, and repeatedly told her in a personal letter, "Don't be trapped by poverty, you must study hard and be a useful talent in society in the future."
Wan Ling is the eldest in the family, and there are four siblings, all of whom are studying. My father can't work because of his long illness, and the family is entirely borne by my mother. Mayor Huang learned that when she started school, she sent her a considerable tuition fee every year. Through hard work, Wan Ling was admitted to the university in 2004. After hearing the good news, Mayor Huang personally called to congratulate her in spite of his busy schedule, and told her to continue her efforts and strive for greater achievements.
Up to now, Mayor Huang has donated 654.38 million yuan for tuition. Wan Ling told reporters that Mayor Huang's donation changed the fate of her and even the whole family, and Mayor Huang's exhortation was an inexhaustible motive force for her to forge ahead in her life.
A poverty alleviation cadre's mountain education complex
At the beginning of 2003, He Min, a poverty alleviation cadre from Zhuhai, went to Wuxi as a deputy magistrate in charge of education. On the second day in Wuxi, I felt uncomfortable eating, living and traveling, and began to go deep into the village community for investigation. In Shiluo Village, Zhongliang Township, when he saw that almost all the farmers were earthen houses, they were dilapidated and crumbling, he was heartbroken. That night, he slept in the farmhouse, and the words of the village party secretary echoed in his ears: "In order to let children study, I hope to change the fate of future generations with knowledge. Some people sell pigs in the New Year and old people sell coffins. " His heart was strongly shocked. That night, he hardly slept, and he made up his mind to make some achievements for the education in Wuxi.
In the autumn of 2003, when he learned that 23 students, including Du Fajun, who was admitted to Chongben, Wuxi, were about to start school, but he couldn't make up the tuition fees, he rushed to Zhuhai for help from local enterprises, raising a total of 6.5438+0.4 million yuan, fulfilling the college dream of 23 children.
Zhang Youren, a "stupid teacher" in Lin Wan Village, insisted on substituting for the class for more than 20 years. His wife committed suicide because she was dissatisfied with his insistence on taking a substitute class, but he still stood firmly on the substitute platform. His substitute career is equivalent to five 25,000-mile long marches, and his total salary in 20 years is only 1 10,000 yuan. After learning about these situations, He Min was very moved. In the Spring Festival of 2004, he gave up going back to Zhuhai to reunite with his family. He walked alone for more than five hours and made a special trip to visit Mr. Zhang Youren's family and send them to 500 yuan, solatium, so that they must have a good year.
In the past two years, He Min has traveled to all township schools in the county, written more than 20 thick work notes and worn out more than 10 pairs of shoes. He built a bridge connecting Zhuhai and Wuxi with his actions. He vigorously investigated, re-planned, and strictly controlled, and put Zhuhai's180,000 yuan (including more than 4 million yuan of materials) supporting Wuxi's education development into practice. He built 654.38+03 Hope Primary School with an area of more than 20,000 square meters, helped nearly 6.5438+million poor primary and secondary school students, solved the housing of nearly 200 teachers, and made more than 8,000 students.
Now, two years of poverty alleviation work have passed, but this poverty alleviation cadre gave up the opportunity to return to Zhuhai and took the initiative to transfer to Wuxi, where he took root. As he said, "I am very pleased to be able to do something for the poor mountainous areas. It will be my eternal complex to continue to do more for Wuxi's education. "
A teacher's choice without regret
On September 5, 2005, Teacher Jiang Tianhua, who is in charge of the school network of Ermian Middle School in Shapingba District, Chongqing, responded to the call and took the initiative to choose the poorest Wuxi to teach.
Over the past year, I have been mainly engaged in the construction and management of websites and office automation in Wuxi Education Bureau. Going to work on time at 8: 00 in the morning and getting off work on time after 12: 30 in the afternoon has become his default routine. In order to improve the computer level of employees, he held lectures and conducted training, which benefited employees a lot; There is something wrong with the office computer. He is a maintenance master. When an employee's application software can't be used, he becomes a tutor; When he couldn't get online, he became an expert in network maintenance ... In order to promote the effective promotion of education informatization in the county, he went to remote schools many times to investigate and guide how to make full use of the network, strengthen management, improve work efficiency, improve teachers' level and education quality, and promote the effective promotion of the "two basics" work.
On June 5438+February 10, 2005, I went to the remote Shuangyang primary school to investigate the education informatization. Soon after he went out, it began to snow. The car circled the mountainside and came to a corner about 2000 meters above sea level. Half of the tires fell on the edge of the hanging rock, and there was an abyss below. His colleagues all fell on the snow-covered road. Finally, he insisted on walking in the snow.
During the holiday, when he returned to Chongqing, he ran around to get funds, equipment and software materials for Wuxi's educational informatization. Over the past year, the Shapingba Education Commission and other supporting units have donated more than 600,000 yuan worth of network equipment and software materials to Wuxi. In the past year, his working time is equivalent to two years. He set up his own education website and office automation platform for Wuxi with his heart and hands, which improved the informatization level of Wuxi education. On the eve of leaving the wizard, Jiang Tianhua was awarded the title of "Advanced Teaching Worker" by Wuxi County People's Government.
Now, although he has returned to Shapingba, the maintenance and management of Wuxi Education Network, he is still busy for free, and the action of helping continues.
"We are from Wuxi, Zhuhai"
From Chongqing to Wuxi, it is much more difficult than going abroad from Zhuhai! This is the real feeling that Luo Zhiyong, Zhuo and four teaching teachers from Zhuhai came to Wuxi for the first time in June 2005. However, the first breakfast in Wuxi made them unforgettable. A stranger from Wuxi paid the bill for them, but they refused. But the fellow villagers in Wuxi said, "You Zhuhai people have come to help us, and we can only thank you in this way ..." The four of them said, "We are also Wuxi people, so don't mention it!" "We are also from Wuxi" tells the true feelings of a family in Wuxi, Zhuhai.
Among the four teaching teachers, Wen Li is the only female teacher. When she left Zhuhai, her daughter was in the first grade. When she misses her mother, she has to call. Wen Li listened to her daughter crying on the phone and asked her mother to go home. She said to her daughter in tears, "Son, there are many children your age in Wuxi, and you need your mother more." The daughter cried, and she said, "Please support mom." But like the other three teachers, she never went home during her work.
Four teachers are vice principals in Chengxiang Primary School, Fenghuang Primary School, Huancheng Primary School and Fenghuang Junior High School, and undertake the teaching tasks of related disciplines. They participate in all aspects of school management, and strengthen the demonstration and promotion of teacher training, education and scientific research in the county by sending teachers to the school and holding reports. In less than a year, they almost visited 22/kloc-0 middle schools and 74 primary schools in the county's 4030 square kilometers of land, making suggestions for the development of education in Wuxi; They visited thousands of poor students' families, used their holidays to go back to Zhuhai to run around, visited relatives and friends for funding, and contacted enterprises to help poor students in Wuxi. They also publicized Wuxi to schools and groups in Zhuhai in the form of reports, slide courseware demonstrations and photo exhibitions, seeking support, and raised a total of 6.5438+0.8 million yuan including materials. It was these donations that gave 368 poor students in Wuxi the opportunity to return to school.
Affectionate support makes people cry, and the act of helping righteousness makes people move. In recent years, Zhuhai, Chongqing Education Committee Aid Group, Jilin, Textile Federation, China Academy of Sciences, Ministry of Water Resources, etc. , has helped Wuxi, donated more than 4 1 10,000 yuan (including more than 32 million yuan in cash and 9 million yuan in materials) to help build more than 30 hope schools, accounting for nearly one-third of the total number of primary and secondary schools in the county. I hope that the conditions for running a school will be earth-shaking and the level of running a school will be significantly improved. Helping more than 20,000 poor students; Donated more than 420 thousand books, which is equivalent to donating 5 books per student on average; Donated more than 30,000 pieces of teaching equipment and facilities and nearly 100 computers; More than 10 cadres and more than 30 teaching teachers were sent to help the poor. More than 20 cadres and teachers have received training; Send more than 50 teachers and train 1500 Wuxi teachers. ...
With the help of counterpart support units, Wuxi, a national key poverty alleviation and development county, erased the past history of using pigsty as classroom and cave teaching. In this promising field of Wuxi, "Hope School" can be seen everywhere, and the light of hope is everywhere. In the earth-shaking educational environment, 80,000 students in the county are growing up happily and realizing their dream of changing their destiny with knowledge.
