Daughter of the principal of a secondary school in the sixties

These two days, in the junior high school student group, posted a photo of the roster of the classmates for more than six years, the paper of this photo has been yellowed, it is written manually with a fountain pen, and the roster of the names of the whole class is posted.

The roster, after half a century of wind and frost, has been preserved by people with hearts, and is presented before our eyes like a rare treasure. With his clumsy index finger, on the computer-enlarged roster photo, he moved slowly, remembering that more than fifty years ago, in a middle school in Tianjin, a class in junior high school, a group of teenagers innocent children, studying carefreely.

In the roster, I found that I had been forgotten by my own death, and I could not remember the name of a girl surnamed Wu. At that time, she had a different identity from other classmates, she was the daughter of our principal. Her face, her dress, can not remember clearly, vaguely only remember that she is a classmate of our class, she is introverted, does not like to talk, does not like to highlight herself, is not the class leader, nor is she a class leader, nor does she know that she is the daughter of the principal. But she studied together for three years, just like our regular students.

Now I have a granddaughter who is in junior high school myself, and I know a little about the current junior high school education. If it is a teacher's child, it can be assigned to a key class, but what if it is a principal's child? May receive more attentive attention.

At present, the state is rectifying the chaotic image of education, rectifying the excessive commercialization of education, improving the educational quality of teachers, and making education return to its original nature.

After writing this "Principal's Daughter" essay and looking at the calendar, today is September 26, 2021, the birthday of the great leader Chairman Mao.

I miss the days when I was in junior high school in the sixties, when there was no pollution and the sky was pure blue.
