Yicun, a border village in the north of Daliangshan Mountain in Sichuan, which is as dangerous as Huashan Mountain, is located on the mountainside at an altitude of 2700 meters on the east bank of Dadu River where the Red Army crossed. On the top is the high cliff of thousands of feet, and on the bottom is a ravine. The traffic here is blocked, and the mountain is high and the road is dangerous. Cross the suspension bridge from the rushing Dadu River, climb to the foot of the 90-degree cliff along the zigzag narrow path, and then climb five ladders tied with logs and tree poles. This road can be described as "one person defends it, and ten thousand people can't force it." It takes 6 hours to climb the whole journey along the Dadu River, which is the most remote, arduous and worst mountain village in Daliangshan-Pinger Village, Wushi Da Qiao Township, Ganluo County. I want to talk about Li Guilin, a deputy to the Township People's Congress, and his wife Lu Jianfen, who have devoted themselves to such a place for 17 years.

It begins to freeze here in September every year, and there is snow and ice in March the following year, with strong winds all the year round. Until now, except last year, the township party committee government managed to find 40,000 yuan, packed their bags and went to the construction site to sweat with the villagers, and opened the entrance and exit of the village road on the cliff with a length of 10 km and a width of 1.8 m. The remaining 5 kilometers below the mountain cannot be started due to insufficient funds. Now the villagers can barely carry the agricultural and sideline products down the mountain with horses. Carrying agricultural materials and daily necessities from the foot of the mountain barely solved the road problem, and the water and electricity were also impassable. People have to go far away to carry drinking water, and kerosene lamps are used for lighting, which is a little more economical. Most poor people can only use torches tied to bamboo poles for lighting. The villagers here have three meals a day: corn buns, potato pieces and sauerkraut soup. Now they have sheepskin all year round, even barefoot, covered with shabby quilts or wool felt.

This school is called Pinger Village Primary School in Wushi Da Qiao Township, Ganluo County. In the past, according to the custom of the local Yi people, the school building was built with left, right and back earth walls, tied with arrows and bamboo on the mountain in front, and then mixed with cow dung and firewood ash. Because there are no teachers and students for a long time, the school building is like an isolated temple, and three broken walls have been destroyed by wind and rain.

Wife: Lu Jianfen, 38 years old, Yi nationality, senior high school, substitute teacher, the Communist Party of China prepares for party member.

Husband and wife primary school has been awarded "advanced collective" by Suxiong District Working Committee, Wushiqiao Township Party Committee and government for many times.

They were all born in Wusihe Town, Hanyuan County, Ya 'an City, Sichuan Province. From 65438 to 0985, Li Guilin was employed as a teacher in a small contemporary class in a village in this town. As a result of serious and responsible work and outstanding achievements, it has been well received by superior leaders and the masses. 1988, Hanyuan County Civil Affairs Bureau and Wusihe Town jointly established gypsum mine factory. He was hired as an accountant and passed the examination to obtain the Accounting Certificate issued by Ya 'an Township Enterprise Bureau.

The Yi people in Pinger said, "Before Mr. Li came to our village, the school had transferred teachers, but because of the hard living conditions and living environment, he fished for three days and dried his nets for two days, and even threw the students aside in a rage, picked up a shotgun and went hunting in the mountains ...... So he mixed up for a while, wooed friends and went through the back door, so he packed his backpack and found someone to escort him down the mountain. The school was closed due to lack of teachers 10 years, and the school building was also washed away by mudslides, and the whole campus was in ruins. "

During the period of 1990, the Party Committee and government of Wushiqiao Township attached great importance to education. A Mu Tieha, then a member of the Party Committee and head of Suxiong District Education Group (now the principal of Ganluo County Teachers' Training School), requested the restoration of Pinger Village School. Because public teachers can't adjust, there are no literate teachers in the local area. Therefore, we had to recruit people from all directions, but they all refused because of poor conditions, low wages, steep roads in Pinger Mountain and difficulties in teaching Yi children. Township leaders are very anxious. They asked around through various channels and finally found Li Guilin. He said: "Pinger's children don't understand Chinese. As a teacher of the Yi nationality, you can teach in two languages (Yi and Chinese), so it's perfect for you to go. In order that these children will no longer be blind like us, please … "So he agreed. But I didn't know that the conditions were so difficult and the mountain road was so dangerous. Later, I heard a terrible news. In June this year, a serious murder occurred in Pinger village. The murderer Mujiye (party member, deputy village head) killed 6 people (the oldest is over 80 years old and the youngest is 3 years old) and injured 2 people, resulting in a serious criminal case that shocked provinces and states. After the criminal was arrested, he also threatened: "Killing village cadres first, then killing others, killing more and killing less is a capital crime ..." Afterwards, it was discovered that the fundamental reason was that the criminals were illiterate, even more ignorant of the law, and seriously divorced from the people, which eventually led to this terrible tragedy.

Pinger, a folk song party, is so mysterious and dangerous. How can we eradicate it? Only improving the cultural quality of villagers is the only way out, and the most fundamental way out is to attach importance to education. With such curiosity and hope, Li Guilin agreed to teach in Pinger. After the relatives and friends knew it, they strongly opposed it. Some said, "We are reluctant to let you go." Someone said, "What are you doing in such a hard place?" Others said, "It's only been three months since the accident there. Do you really want to fight for your life? " And he said: "I just' know there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to travel in the mountains', where children need teachers! I believe that through my influence and education on children, people in Pinger Village will change. " After some arguments and explanations, Li Guilin said firmly, "Everyone has his own ambition. I just want to use my strength and enthusiasm to change Pinger's ignorance and backwardness and reflect my life value, meaning and pursuit. " Parents were even more shocked when they learned that: "Are you desperate enough to go to that steep, barbaric and horrible place?" We are all old and depend on you to support us. What shall we do if you leave? Are Pinger's children more important than your parents? "He can't and can't explain, so he had to shut up.
