"Daddy, Mommy." "Hello, teacher!" Are these the sentences you would say when you learned the language from the babbling? But for many Yi children in Daliangshan, these simple sentences in Mandarin are not "ordinary" at all.

The beautiful teacher Ma Hei re-washed through this process from ordinary to unusual to ordinary.

In 2016, Ma Hei, who graduated from the preschool education major, gave up the stable job of the county town and became a counselor of "one village and one child" in the three gorges new village of Machuha in Leibo County.

She also remembers that at that time, the counselors at the preschool education center basically communicated with the children in Yi. When she walked into this preschool site, the children looked at her silly and did not speak. It was as if she was speaking Mandarin as an alien visitor.

In Ma Hei's eyes, these children who could not understand and could not speak Mandarin were like angels with broken wings, who could only bury all their curiosity about the world in their hearts.

In order to give children wings to fly, as early as October 2015, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture began to implement the "one village, one child" policy, taking the lead in implementing 15 years of compulsory education throughout the country. In July 2018, the former Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council and the Ministry of Education launched the pilot project of "preschool learning Mandarin" in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and expanded to "two counties and one district" in Leshan City in 2019.

Ma Hei recalled that he was ready to give up the job, "After returning home and seeing my two children, I felt that those children needed their own help, so I chose to stick with it." ”

In order to close the distance between him and the children, Ma Hei will always bring some candy and snacks to the preschool education point. Start with the simplest words, "Daddy, Mommy." "Hello, teacher!" Learn the word "wash your hands" when washing your hands, learn "wash your face" when you wash your face, communicate in Yi first, then translate into Mandarin, repeat it over and over again, while learning Mandarin, children gradually have the confidence to communicate, and their living habits are also changing.

In 2018, Ma Hei took his 2 students into Beijing and participated in the "Preschool Mandarin" report performance of the China Poverty Alleviation Volunteer Service Promotion Association. "I'm very proud to see the kids get out of the mountains and get better and better." Ma Hei said.

He wanted more children to get out of Daliangshan

As the lyrics of "Lovely You" written by Yi teacher Aru Luori, "You are like a silently burning candle, burning yourself but illuminating others, although you have no majestic figure, but you hold up a rainless sky for me", in order to make preschool children "understand, speak, dare to speak, and use " Mandarin" The 16,000 "one village and one child" counselor in Liangshan Prefecture is like a beam of light, illuminating the children's way forward.

Dink, 46, is one of those lights.

In 1996, Dink became a substitute teacher at Horse Neck Village Primary School. Through participating in training and self-study, in 2016, he became a counselor at the "one village, one child" teaching point in Ma Neck Village, Ten Million Guan Township, Lei Bo County.

"When I first became a substitute teacher, my monthly salary was only 30 yuan, the school conditions were very poor, every time it was windy and rainy, the classroom would leak, and I also carried my own tiles to repair." Dink said, "Since I can't walk out of the mountains, I must let more children go out." ”

Now that Dink's salary has risen to more than two thousand, he has left his love and concern here. Every day, walking to the school gate, a group of children rushed at him and greeted him in Mandarin, "Good morning, Teacher Ding!" "Becoming a ceremony to work is also the thing that Dink is most happy about.

He believes that a simple "good morning" not only means that children can speak Mandarin, but also reflects their confident expression.

"I also grew up in the mountains, but I've seen the outside world and I know how important it is to them to be able to speak Mandarin and have the confidence to express themselves, and not let them lose at the starting line." Dink said that in addition to the normal class, he will also ride a motorcycle to the teaching point during the weekend holidays, "Some children have no place to play on the weekend, I will take them to the teaching point, talk with them, do games, train Mandarin, and tell them stories outside the mountains." ”

Because of his outstanding performance in the pilot work of the preschool learning Mandarin action, in October this year, Dink was commended as an excellent counselor by the China Association for the Promotion of Volunteer Service for Poverty Alleviation.
