Zhang Boling: Keep your word and quit smoking.
Keywords: integrity, a promise as good as a promise
Mr Zhang Boling is a famous educator in China. He not only teaches by example, but also sets an example.
The History of Nankai University (Tianjin Education Publishing House) records a story: Nankai Middle School opened a course of "Cultivating Self-cultivation", which was taught by President Zhang Boling himself. Once, after class, Zhang Boling chatted with students and saw a student's finger burned. He guessed that the student must have smoked a lot. So, I said to the students seriously, "Are your fingers yellow? Smoking is harmful and should be quit! " Unexpectedly, the student stared at the headmaster's cigarette bag and asked, "Don't you smoke, too?" How do you say me? "Zhang Boling was asked for a while, stunned for a long time, and suddenly broke the cigarette rod that accompanied him for half his life into two pieces and said solemnly," I won't smoke in the future, so don't smoke! " He also took out his treasured tobacco leaves and destroyed them in public. Seeing the resolute attitude of the old headmaster who is over 500 years old, the students are both moved and guilty, pleading: "Principal, you don't have to quit smoking in the future. "Zhang Boling said," If I don't do this, I can't show my determination. I will quit smoking with my classmates. "From then on, Zhang Boling never smoked again.
There are many reasons why Zhang Boling became a model educator, but undoubtedly one of the important reasons is that he has been practicing the educational concept of "to educate students, we must first educate ourselves" all his life.

Xiao gan's different respect
Keywords: gratitude, knowing people's warmth and coldness
In the early 1930s, due to an interview, Xiao Gan got to know Shen Congwen and worshipped him as a teacher. Shen Congwen is very satisfied with Xiao Gan. When he writes to him, he always takes "righteous brother" as his counterpart, showing affection and care. Since then, they have continued their friendship for half a century.
After the founding of New China, Shen Congwen was seriously ignored. Helpless, he gave up literary writing and turned to cultural relics research. The so-called "research" is just labeling all kinds of cultural relics in the history museum. Besides plagiarism, he is an out-and-out commentator.
On one occasion, Xiao Gan accompanied foreign guests to visit the Forbidden City, which happened to be explained by Shen Congwen. He has an explanation stick in his hand, his expression is very serious, and he coughs badly from time to time. "I'm sorry to see it. I think this was done by a young man. How can I let him do this? I am afraid of affecting him and hurting him, and I am far away ... "Gan's heart is full of sadness.
In the late "*" period, Shen Congwen returned to Beijing from Xianning, Hubei. Soon, Xiao Gan went to see him and saw that he lived alone in a house in Dongtangzi Hutong, while his wife and children lived in Lamb Yibin Hutong, which was far apart and life was extremely inconvenient. Xiao Gan wants to contact the leaders of the History Museum through a friend who works in the Beijing Municipal Committee to solve the housing problem for Shen Congwen's family. To this end, Xiao Gan tried his best again and again behind his back, but he didn't say a word to Shen Congwen. "He is one of my teachers and the first person to lead me on the road of literature and art ... I revised his handwriting in my first few exercises ... This is something I will never forget." Obviously, Xiao Gan is not an ungrateful person.
Xiao Gan is grateful to Shen Congwen. In that stormy era, he expressed his respect for Shen Congwen in his own way-not meeting each other, secretly helping. It can be said that this is a different kind of respect. Without care, love, and peace of mind, there will never be such a height of life.
