Leo Tolstoy said
"Poetry is a fire that burns in the soul of man"
In a remote mountain
This fire
Warms and illuminates the childhood of many children
Huitong County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province
Located in the mountains
There is a Suyu Hope Primary School here
Left-behind children in schools
Half of the student population
The school is small and remote
But it was conceived
A poetic childhood
Children's poetic childhood
There's a "guide."
"Post-95" Chinese teacher Li Bailin

"Cotton spits out a bumper harvest"
3 years ago
A child wrote this sentence
Pure and innocent language
Let Li Bailin be surprised
She decided
Sowing the "seeds" of poetry in the mountains
Initially
Many people don't understand
"What's the use of teaching Shanliwa to write poetry?"
"If you learn to write poetry, can you learn to be a poet?"
……
Li Bailin just smiled
Silently insist
In the heart of this young teacher
Left-behind children write poems
It is to open the door of the inner world
This door
It was tightly closed
And with the childish verses
Open little by little
Campus classrooms, on the way out of school
Just be inspired
Fragmented paper, workbook
It is a world of writing and expression

Li Bailin and many parents
We saw it together
The children
The untold loneliness
Imaginative imagination
Simple and pure pleasure
Unspeakable thoughts and sorrows
poetry
Not the answer to all childhood problems
But it can be
The key to open the door of your child's heart
Read these poems
You will see
How much he loves you
I will also understand
How can you love him better
Three years
Li Bailin took the children
He wrote more than 1,000 poems
Some of these poems
Recommended by her
