Lan, the blessing of a rural sage
Lanshanqing
Bashan comes from the south, Hanshui goes to the east, and the Muguagou at the head of Qin and the tail of Chu is a thin line, which folds inconspicuously at the edge of the border between Hubei and Shaanxi. Papaya Primary School is located in Nagukou, which belongs to Hujiaying Town, Yunyang District, Shiyan City, Hubei Province.
I am no stranger to this school. I went there several times when I was working in Yunyang District Education Bureau. Its smallness, remoteness and its achievements in popularizing nine-year compulsory education left a deep impression on me. However, not long ago, I really learned about it and approached its reconstruction site today. In the face of history and reality, my heart was greatly shocked: papaya primary school is a spiritual home!
I read such a story in a yellowed educational chronicle of Baoxia District (the commune where Muguagou once lived in the early years belongs to Baoxia District): Muguagou Primary School was founded in the Republic of China 10 (192 1), and was donated by squire Lan as the school director.
It started with a squire. An enlightened squire's house and money opened a window for the children in this ravine to see the outside world. As the beginning of new rural learning, it is obviously ahead of the region, only slightly inferior to the founding period of Yunyangfu New Middle School Education in 1902.
This orchid is a gentleman, a saint, and a country sage in the papaya ditch!
From the initial three children with five children to more than twenty or thirty children now, children in the depths of Muguagou have been coming out and entering this rural school shared by the rich and the poor. Since then, the rugged mountains have been unable to stop the children's lives. Educated Muguagou people, with the help of the school, are good at bartering things, turning production in the mountains into dock goods, moving houses in the mountains to the mouth of Muguagou, and combining production with water transportation. By the beginning of liberation, there were many shops in Muguagoukou, with a total of 100 merchant ships, and every family was rich, and its urbanization reached Baihe County, Shaanxi Province and Yangwei Town, Yunxi Province.
The school has given this valley a different fate!
The welfare of the school is still expanding-
Nearly 70 years after liberation, there is still a style of attaching importance to education, and the reading atmosphere has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At the peak of "Nine Years", there were more than 600 students in school, accompanied by junior high schools with hats.
The sculpture of a dedicated student on campus is a symbol of the school's adherence to the atmosphere of "study hard".
The villagers are very happy. At that time, a production team here produced six cadres at the official level and/kloc-0 cadres at the deputy level at one time. Nowadays, the whole papaya village is full of talents all over the country, including postdoctoral, doctoral and undergraduate students from first-class universities, successful immigrants, business owners and promising people from all walks of life. ......
Going out, their spiritual souls are still in this deep ditch and school.
This time, there are papaya primary school alumni, Xu Shengkun, former deputy magistrate of Yunxi County, papaya primary school alumni, Tang Mingshui, general manager of An Culture, and papaya alumni, member of the Party Committee of Yunyang District Education Bureau and official overseer. The leading group for the renovation and expansion of Papaya Primary School is planning the renovation and expansion of its alma mater with them as the full organizer.
Maybe you think that the Muguagou people who keep going out no longer need school. Maybe you don't think people who go out will come back. They will no longer pay attention to this school. In the changing countryside, where can township schools care about everyone's hearts?
Yes, Muguagou is just helping the poor to move out of the country, but there are still 1250 households with more than 5,000 villagers relying on mountains to eat, and more than 400 children in Muguagou need to receive basic education here.
A classroom with brick-concrete structure, which was built in the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" period in the 1990s, has now become a C-class dangerous building. In this relocation and reconstruction, they need to raise millions of yuan, such as relocation and resettlement, road extension, canal diversion and campus greening. Outside the main building funded by the state.
In a stack of documents, I saw that the donation activity started on May 28th this year has reached 6.5438+0.92 million, with more than 300 participants, and it is still flowing, getting closer and closer to the fundraising goal of 3 million. At the same time, several entrepreneurs made it clear that what is ultimately lacking is themselves, and building a perfect campus is full of joy and carefree.
In the hot summer, the sound of machinery rumbles, and the reconstruction and expansion are in full swing: a section of three molds begins to concretize! In the second quarter, start to repair the mold! Two-mold-one-version side wall pouring is completed! Start the four-level subbase concrete ... The progress of the construction site is synchronously fed back in the three WeChat groups of "Donated Construction".
Whether it is now or not, it is in the popularization field of school construction!
They are concerned about their hometown and spiritual home. No matter whether this school has anything to do with them or not, how much blood relationship they have, they are scrambling to do their best!
Huang Zhuxiang, 89, had her childhood in this school. She had no money, so she donated the private money her children gave her to 200 yuan. Zhong Daolian, 8 1 year old, 14 years as a school cook. She had no money and donated 200 yuan of personal money from her children. Paraplegic Li Lingen, Papaya School is his first school. He came in a wheelchair and donated his pension to 200 yuan. Shi Guoxiang, the old branch secretary of Muguagou, donated 2,000 yuan; Liu, the current branch secretary of papaya village, worked hard to build a construction site at the school and donated 20 thousand yuan. ......
Guangzhou kindergarten teacher Li, a descendant of Muguagou; Li Jinyao, a descendant of Muguagou, studied in a middle school in Guangzhou; Yin, a descendant of Muguagou, studied at Jiahe Primary School in Yunxi; Yin, a descendant of Muguagou, studied in a middle school in Yunxi; Tang Zhen, a descendant of Muguagou, studied in a primary school in Baihe, Shaanxi; He Yong, a descendant of Muguagou, studied in this township middle school; Ke Quanbing, the descendant of Muguagou, studied in a university ... They donated 200 yuan from their parents' pocket money.
All kinds of successful people don't let-
Li Bo, the general manager of Guangzhou Jinyao Clothing Co., Ltd., has his childhood figure in papaya school and his growing footprint in papaya valley. Recalling his hometown, he couldn't help it. In the extreme predicament of the enterprise, he resolutely organized 68 employees to donate money and materials.
Chen Hongan, a successful enterprise from Muguagou, once gave a speech at Harvard University in the United States with the simple feelings of a mountain man, "The blood of entrepreneurs should flow in the veins of respecting teachers and valuing education." Knowing and doing are one, this time he gave his alma mater 300 thousand at one time.
Xu Shengkun, a successful person who moved from Muguagou to politics, is famous for his high sincerity and loyalty. He donated one year's salary to his alma mater and mobilized his relatives to donate 200,000 yuan. He gave full play to his strength and sincerity.
Zhang Ronghui, a successful person from Muguagou to Shanxi Coal Mine, struggled for life and death, constantly striving for self-improvement, and donated 654.38+10,000 yuan to his alma mater at one time.
......
Needless to list, the papaya people inside and outside, they all hold out eager, sincere and golden hearts; Benefits and blessings, love is back, and teaching is so fragrant!
From Muguagou education, to the initial survival enlightenment of Muguagou people, and now to the dream of flying all over the mountain village, the sacredness of education is needless to say in the hearts of Muguagou people.
Most of them are strangers who don't go back to their hometown, and their children and their children won't go to papaya school again. However, this school is their eternal spiritual ancestral temple, where the soul of their hometown and the root of life are enshrined. In those days, the bright light of the ravine school lit by blue was radiant, and people with brains held it high above their heads; There is no doubt that there will always be talents in papaya valley, but no matter how far they go, they will always be children of papaya pie, and the blessing is that they will return to their hometown forever!
