"Chicken Leg Girl" and "White-Haired Principal"
In 2021, in a rural village in Zhoukou, Henan Province, there is a special school, Erlangmiao Primary School, and this is not only a primary school, but also the children in the village who want to go to kindergarten are also attending here.
These children are growing up and need adequate nutrition, and the principal Zhang Pengcheng is also trying all kinds of ways to add meals to the children, a meal time, the school gave each child a chicken leg for them to supplement nutrition, but Zhang Pengcheng found that there was a little girl who did not eat.
After the child got the chicken legs, he put the chicken legs in a bag, and then continued to eat the same meal as usual, Zhang Pengcheng was very puzzled, so he went over and asked her why she put the chicken legs up, so that the little girl could eat them quickly, it would not taste good if it was cold.
"I'll take it back and give it to my mother!" The little girl's words almost made Zhang Pengcheng's tears fall, looking at the little girl's embarrassed smile, Zhang Pengcheng gave his chicken leg to the child, and asked her to eat the chicken leg with a choked voice.
After this video was posted on the Internet, it attracted a lot of attention, and the little girl also became a little "popular", and was called "Chicken Leg Girl".
In fact, the situation of this little girl is not a special case in the school, and there is a little girl who eats the other meals cleanly, leaving only the few shrimp in the bowl.
Her mother had surgery, and the child wanted to supplement her mother's nutrition, and every time the school gave her delicious food, whether it was food or drink, she was reluctant to eat it herself, and brought it back by herself every time, even if Zhang Pengcheng gave her an extra portion, she didn't want to eat it.
When the reporter interviewed Zhang Pengcheng and learned about the situation in the school, the reporter couldn't help but ask him why he insisted, but Zhang Pengcheng said that even if he didn't come, someone else would come, and these children would always have someone to accompany them to watch them grow up.
Although Zhang Pengcheng expressed it lightly, but on this road, he did not have an easy walk at all, let's take a look at his experience.
Hearts to home
Zhang Pengcheng was born in 1982, the place where he is now the principal is his hometown, and this Erlangmiao Primary School is the alma mater that sent him out, his father was a teacher at the time, and it was also because of his father's relationship that he also had the idea of becoming a teacher.
Zhang Pengcheng was admitted to a normal school, he had to prepare to become a teacher, and after graduation, he directly chose to return to his alma mater as a substitute teacher.
Although Zhang Pengcheng was full of enthusiasm, he was soon extinguished by a basin of cold water, and the salary of the contemporary teacher was too small, only more than 100 yuan per month, so he left the school and went south to work.
This process was very smooth, at that time, he quickly became the supervisor of a workshop, the monthly salary was more than 5000, the career was smooth, and the love also got a bumper harvest, here he met a girl from Xuchang, because it was a fellow countryman, the two met, and then fell in love together.
After the two had children, they did not plan to develop in other places, so they returned to their hometown in Henan, in order to have a better development, they handed over their son to the old man to take with them, and the two opened a restaurant in Zhengzhou to make money to raise a baby.
Although many people think about working for themselves before doing business, they can take a break whenever they want, but after they really start, they will find that they will make less money for one day off, so they are reluctant to take a break, unless there is really a big event before they will close their doors and suspend business.
Zhang Pengcheng and his wife are also like this, after opening a restaurant, they are busy every day, even if they have few opportunities to accompany their children during the New Year, the couple feel that they owe their children, so they specially closed the door early in 2011 to go back to accompany their children for the Spring Festival.
After returning to his hometown, Zhang Pengcheng saw that many children were similar to his sons, and their parents worked in other places all the year round, and they had no time to come back to accompany them.
At this time, Zhang Pengcheng thought of his previous ideal, that is, to become a teacher who teaches and educates people, and he almost forgot about this during the period of working outside, and this time he came back to ignite his dream again.
Ignite yourself to illuminate the child
After returning home, Zhang Pengcheng thought about what he could do for these left-behind children every day, until he saw the announcement of the recruitment of rural teachers.
The husband and wife's restaurant will earn about 200,000 yuan a year, but Zhang Pengcheng insisted on giving the hotel to others, and his enthusiasm was ignited again, becoming a teacher with a monthly salary of 1,000, and at the age of 30, he found his direction.
Zhang Pengcheng made this decision, so that his wife could only choose to go out to work to subsidize the family, although his wife complained, but did not stop Zhang Pengcheng from doing these things.
What Zhang Pengcheng didn't expect was that he was assigned to teach at his alma mater, and standing on the familiar podium, Zhang Pengcheng was very excited.
Because of his outstanding work ability, Zhang Pengcheng was soon transferred away and took up the position of principal of another school.
In 2018, Erlangmiao Primary School was about to be revoked because the number of students was too small, not even 30 students, and Zhang Pengcheng couldn't sit still when he heard the news, and he took the initiative to apply for transfer back to Erlangmiao Primary School.
Looking at the school in disrepair, Zhang Pengcheng knew that it was difficult for parents to send their children to such a school, but it carried too many memories for him, and it was close to home, so the children did not have to go all the way to school, so he could not let the school be abandoned.
Zhang Pengcheng swiped more than 100,000 credit cards and repaired all the dilapidated facilities of the school, which was spent by himself if he could do it himself, otherwise he didn't know how much it would cost, and because of this, Zhang Pengcheng's hair quickly turned white.
Maintaining Erlangmiao Primary School for so many years, Zhang Pengcheng has to go into battle in person no matter what he does, teaching classes, cleaning and cooking, he will participate as long as he has time, just to create a more ideal Xi learning environment for the children, and the smiles of the children are what he is drawing.
After the story of the "white-haired principal" spread, many well-wishers began to donate to the school, and the donations continued to be remitted to the school, and there was no momentum to stop, Zhang Pengcheng could only shout that everyone did not need to donate anymore, this money was enough for the school, and the money could be donated to people in need.
Some people once questioned that Zhang Pengcheng was using the children's hype to exchange traffic, but the children knew very well who was really good to them, every time they saw Zhang Pengcheng, the children would come around and hug him, and the "principal and grandfather" were their closest people at school.
Time is the best proof, so many years Zhang Pengcheng has persevered day by day, providing care for these children, turning into a beacon to point out their way forward, not only him, but also many teachers who stick to the countryside, they are all lovely people.
