10 years ago today, Liu Dingsong was a 14-year-old teenager.
That summer, while recuperating at the Russian "Ocean" All-Russian Children's Center (hereinafter referred to as the Ocean Center), the seeds of being a teacher like her were sown in his heart.
Ten years later, seeds break ground, take root, sprout!
When he grew up, "I became you" and Liu Dingsong became a people's teacher. In teaching, he always uses appreciation education to explore the shining points and potential of children, just like the teacher encouraged him.
Today is the third Teacher's Day after Liu Dingsong became a teacher. He looked forward to reuniting with the teachers who had encouraged him at the Russian Ocean Center.
21 days affected his whole life
Ten years later, I still remember the names of the teachers
After the May 12 Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, the Russian government invited more than 1,500 children from the disaster areas to go to Russia for recuperation in two batches during the summer vacation.
In July of that year, Liu Dingsong from Aba Prefecture set off from Sichuan to the Ocean Center, where he spent 21 days that affected his life.
"I was placed in the seventeenth division and the Russian team leader who led us was the amiable Martha Yulia, Nadasha, Nastya, and the lovely Olig." Ten years later, Liu Dingsong can still accurately call out the name of each teacher.
"We didn't speak the language, Nastya and Yulia were in charge of our translation, Martha always arranged everything for us and always said 'Good morning!' It's time for the kids to get up! The teachers always smiled so much that their eyes narrowed into a line, they were very patient and friendly, and even the "difficult households" who got up felt that the teacher's voice and smile were full of magic, opened their eyes, saw the teacher's smile and got up energetically, and started a new life for the day.
The teacher's encouragement is not abandoned
He painted his first painting in Russia
An art class at the Ocean Center changed his life.
He didn't like to draw and couldn't draw. In art class, the teacher asks the children to draw a picture. "I was dumbfounded." Liu Dingsong was very anxious, thinking, "What should I do?" "The other children drew one vivid picture after another, but he could not move his pen for a long time.
A beautiful female teacher, Kress Kinna, came up to him and asked him softly, "What do you want to draw?" Liu Dingsong said timidly, "I want to draw a torchbearer, but I don't have any foundation in painting." ”
The teacher smiled, gently took his hand, and gently told him to "Relax and move with my hand!" Liu Dingsong was infected, and unconsciously, one stroke and one painting moved. Although the painting was not successful, it aroused his interest in painting, and he told himself: I must paint a painting of my own.
Through countless failures, before parting, Liu Dingsong finally drew a torchbearer in his heart, which was also the first painting in his life. To his surprise, this work of his was also recommended by his teacher and became one of the works on display at Ocean Center Art.
When I grow up, I will be you
Teach children in an appreciative and educational way
Since then, Liu Dingsong has established the direction of life: to become a teacher like this female teacher.
After returning to China, he studied hard and was admitted to Aba Normal College, where he became a physical education teacher at Minjiang Central Primary School in Songpan County two years ago.
"In teaching, I always use the appreciation pedagogy to constantly encourage students to break through themselves, or encourage students to discover their own potential." Liu Dingsong said he paid tribute to the Russian teacher with practical actions.
Back at the Ocean Center, Liu Dingsong's mother used Qiang embroidery to handmade several pairs of insoles for friends in Russia. "In our place, this is the most precious gift." Liu Dingsong hopes that this gift will bring happiness to his favorite teacher.
