Liu Hongmei, female, member of the Democratic League, born in 1973 in Hengdong County, Hunan Province, is currently teaching at Hengyang Vocational and Technical Secondary Professional School. In the past 25 years of teaching, she has been professionally exquisite, and has worked hard to cultivate the ability of clothing students to compete, guiding students to participate in national, provincial and municipal skills competitions and winning 80 awards, including 1 national first prize, 7 national second prizes, and 7 national third prizes. In 2020, he was nominated for the "Most Beautiful Class Teacher" award of the first Hunan Provincial Secondary Vocational School.

At 7:00 a.m. on November 6, Liu Hongmei, a teacher at Hengyang Vocational and Technical Secondary Professional School, rushed to the school's training room with breakfast. "There's still an hour before the students arrive, so let's get some preparation."
Entering the training room, Liu Hongmei, who had a hasty breakfast, took out the character model and costume design drawings from the locker, and turned on the tailoring machine to warm up. While cleaning up, he kept saying in his mouth: "Today I want to give them a layout design, and then take a little time to familiarize myself with the template made yesterday..."
For Liu Hongmei, such a day has lasted for 25 years. From 25 years of teaching, she has been a class teacher for 25 years, but the students who have taught her have different evaluations of her, and some students say that she is a "loving mother" and guides every student with her heart. Some students also call her "Strict Teacher", and a small mistake in practical training will be scolded.
Behind the contradictory evaluation, liu Hongmei's persistence and responsibility for teaching and educating people are highlighted.
Liu Hongmei, who joined the work in 1996, witnessed the development of secondary vocational education for more than 20 years. "Students are not confident, parents do not approve." Liu Hongmei summed up the dilemma of secondary vocational education at that time. In Liu Hongmei's mouth, the reporter learned that at that time, students who did not love to learn were the norm, and those with bad nature would escape from class, and some students even took a semester of class, and even the class teacher did not know.
In order to change the students' understanding, in the first few years of serving as the class teacher, Liu Hongmei was bitter and racked her brains to organize class activities and close the feelings between students, but with little effect, she realized that secondary vocational students are in the critical process of moving from infancy to maturity, and if they want to get them on the right track, they must find something that students generally agree with.

"Competition can tap students' inner potential, and winning in competitions gives students a sense of collective honor." Liu Hongmei thought of organizing students to participate in the National Vocational College Skills Competition. Since then, in addition to the class teacher, Liu Hongmei has also served as another position: the training teacher of the school clothing professional competition. After several years of training and running-in, in 2003, Liu Hongmei took students to participate in the competition for the first time, and even created the excellent results of the school's clothing major breaking into the national competition for the first time.
When Liu Hongmei and the participating students returned to the school with honors, they were immediately warmly cheered by the whole class.
"The whole class was boiling." Deng Juhui, a student who competed with Liu Hongmei in 2003, said she would never forget the scene. In the past, she was introverted, surrounded by her classmates, and in the admiring and envious eyes of her classmates, she gained self-confidence.
The success of the competition has further strengthened Liu Hongmei's use of the competition to change the students' ideas. But in order to win the ranking in the national competition, you must practice hard and double your study, see some students are lazy, impatient Liu Hongmei will be severely accused, and he is also anxious to eat, but there has been no progress for several years, Liu Hongmei began to reflect on his own way.
"In fact, the grades are not important, what matters is what the students can learn in the course of the competition." Recalling those days, Liu Hongmei admitted that paying too much attention to grades actually changed the original intention of calling on students to participate in competitions. After some weighing, she decided to change herself.
Liu Hongmei's former student, Zeng Meijiao, a teacher at Hengyang Vocational and Technical Secondary Professional School, deeply felt the change in Liu Hongmei. In 2008, Zeng Meijiao's father, who was selected to participate in the competition, suddenly fell ill, and the family suddenly cut off the economic income, and the sudden accident disrupted Zeng Meijiao's mood.
"It was Teacher Liu's care that accompanied me through those days." Zeng Meijiao told reporters that after learning about the changes in her family, Liu Hongmei took the initiative to comfort zeng Meijiao's dormitory, and contacted the school to give Zeng Meijiao a living subsidy, so that Zeng Meijiao could concentrate on preparing for the competition, and won the second prize of the national vocational college skills competition that year.
Today, many years later, after graduation, Zeng Meijiao returned to her former alma mater to teach. "Teacher Liu changed my life, which is the most important reason why I returned to school to teach."
Principal Zhang Shuzhi told reporters that under the leadership of Liu Hongmei, the school's clothing major has become a famous "golden signboard". "Because of Teacher Liu's more than 20 years of hard work, now outside, as long as you say that you graduated from the school's clothing major, you know that you are a student of Teacher Liu." Zhang Shuzhi told reporters.
In 2016, Dong Qing, a student under the guidance of Liu Hongmei, won the first prize in the National Vocational College Skills Competition, achieving a breakthrough of "0" of the first-class award of Hengyang Vocational and Technical Secondary Professional School, but in the face of honor, Liu Hongmei was very indifferent.
"It's the result of the students and the team, not me alone." Liu Hongmei said that the growth of students is far more important than honors. What she can do is to provide the greatest support to students and help them realize their dreams.
■ Reporter's Note
The gentleness of the Yan Master
Xie Yangshuo
A piece of clothing needs to go through many steps from the design sketch to the finished product, the most difficult of which is the first step: design. Every size of the key part of the garment needs to be calculated precisely. But Liu Hongmei was immersed in it. For more than 20 years, Liu Hongmei has accompanied the growth of successive students, and her life is ordinary, and she enjoys it.
Every year in the national competition, Liu Hongmei will organize student training. "Teacher Liu is very strict, and there is no room for error in his eyes." Dong Qing, a student who won the first prize in the country and is now studying at Hunan City College, said that those days were like the sword of Damocles hanging overhead.
The harshness in the student's mouth eventually turned into gratitude to Liu Hongmei. Look at the greeting messages sent by the students to Liu Hongmei. Long and short, I miss my student days, thank the teacher, ask her to pay attention to her body, and congratulate her on achieving good results. One student said: "I always thought you were strict, but after work, I found out that the person who was strict with you is really good to you." Thank you Teacher Liu!" Re-reading this message, the reporter suddenly saw that in the eyes of Liu Hongmei, who was strict in the past, it was gentle.
