What kind of great career does an ordinary middle-aged person have to do before he is suspected of being a traverser?
In 2008, an earthquake measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale in Wenchuan killed and left tens of thousands of people dead and missing, and hundreds of thousands injured.
However, when the entire disaster area was in shambles due to the earthquake, there was one school standing, and none of the more than 2,300 teachers and students in the school were injured, which is undoubtedly a miracle in the face of a huge disaster.
Because the principal of this school arranged safety classes and organized earthquake drills again and again before Xi the earthquake, it seemed to imply that he knew that something big was going to happen.
Before the earthquake, he was the most complained about by the local principal, and everyone scolded him for not doing his job, but after the earthquake, he was praised as "the best in history", and some people even suspected that he was a time-traveler, who came specifically to save students.
Is there really a traverser in this world? How did he manage to make the whole school without any casualties in the earthquake?
Suspected of being a traverser
In the seventies and eighties of the last century, Ye Zhiping became a teacher in Sangzao Middle School, and soon after, Sangzao Middle School ushered in a reconstruction of the teaching building.
Although it is not a grand project, this teaching building has been built for more than two years, but this teaching building is not satisfactory.
At this time, Ye Zhiping did not have the right to take care of the affairs of the teaching building, because he was just an ordinary teacher, and even if he was an excellent class teacher, it was impossible to meddle in the construction of the school.
Everyone can see that this teaching building is glamorous on the surface, but in fact there are many safety risks.
The most obvious is the railing of the staircase, which is showing signs of loosening even shortly after it was completed.
In middle school, students are at the age of high energy, and they will inevitably fight around during recess and after school, in case students fall or even fall down the building due to railing problems, the consequences are unimaginable.
At this time, Ye Zhiping could only report to the leaders while constantly reminding the students to pay attention to safety.
The school leadership is not unconcerned about safety, but the school does not have the funds to overhaul the new school building, and can only repair the areas with obvious hidden dangers or existing problems.
It wasn't until Ye Zhiping became the principal that he began to find a professional construction team to reinforce the problematic teaching building.
Ye Zhiping knew that the principal's seat was not easy to sit in, and he was no longer facing dozens of students in a certain class, but thousands of teachers and students in the school.
He began a major renovation of the school building, first demolishing the worst and most dangerous toilets to make them safer and cleaner.
Then began to reinforce the entire building, which is not a small project, and the natural cost is also very large, which is one of the main reasons why few people have taken care of it for so many years, and it was not until Ye Zhiping took office that he began to renovate.
But the safety of teachers and students cannot be ignored, and the repair of the teaching building is imminent, so he can only keep applying to his superiors, since the large expenditure is not approved, then apply little by little.
He was also personally involved in the project, strictly controlling the quality of the project, and in this way, the entire 16 classrooms of the building were reinforced, and the main load-bearing columns were thickened by 15 centimeters each.
Such a teaching building is absolutely guaranteed in terms of safety, but his behavior is just grandstanding in the eyes of some people, after all, in the eyes of those who don't know, he is reinforcing a teaching building that has just been built for more than ten years.
The principals of other schools are all focusing on grades and promotion rates, but Ye Zhiping stared at this teaching building all day long, and others scolded him behind his back for not doing his job.
However, in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake with a magnitude of 8.0 on the Richter scale, this teaching building, which was full of Ye Zhiping's footprints and had taught more than 2,300 teachers and students, created the biggest miracle at that time.
The location of Sangzao Middle School is actually very dangerous, and in Anxian County, where it is located, almost all the houses in the county have collapsed, but the teaching building of Sangzao Middle School has persevered after shaking, and although it has become a dangerous building because of the earthquake, it has not fallen.
The teachers and students of the school rushed out of the school building as soon as possible after the earthquake, and they gathered in the empty playground, and the people who survived the disaster saw the collapsed houses in their hometowns, and their ears were filled with endless wails.
Ye Zhiping, who was not in the school because of the purchase of supplies, hurried over, and got a report that more than 2,300 people in the school had all run to a relatively safe playground, and there were no casualties.
Ye Zhiping looked at the teachers and students in front of him with tears in his eyes, he knew that he was doing the right thing, and the materials he purchased made the teachers and students persist in the most difficult moment.
After this incident, people were lamenting Ye Zhiping's precautions, and because there were no casualties in the school, Ye Zhiping was considered a "traverser" by many people.
Many people lamented on the Internet that the original 8.0 magnitude earthquake actually had buildings that could hold on without falling, and some people said that perhaps Ye Zhiping had experienced countless cycles of time and space, and finally succeeded in saving everyone.
At this time, Ye Zhiping became the hero principal in everyone's mouth, but before the earthquake, he was the principal with the most complaints in the records of the local education bureau.
Parents continue to complain
Ye Zhiping was born in Mianzhu, Sichuan, and his hometown is only a few dozen kilometers away from mulberry dates.
But for Ye Zhiping at that time, this distance was not short, and after graduating from university, Ye Zhiping engaged in teaching work that matched his major.
In the eyes of others, the teaching profession is stable and easy, but only Ye Zhiping knows that his work is not easy at all.
The hardest part is not to teach Chinese and English, but also to teach music and physical education, and to have a full schedule every day, but to look at the eager eyes of the students, but not to let all of them out of the poor countryside.
When he first started working, he took everything on himself, and then he gradually figured out that there is more than one path in life, but there is only one life.
After becoming the principal, Ye Zhiping was more concerned about the safety of the students, compared to other schools' behavior of breaking one day and letting the students go to class for two days, Ye Zhiping couldn't do the weekly safety education, which seemed so out of place.
Since 2005, he has arranged a large number of safety education combining theoretical knowledge and practical operation for all teachers and students to ensure the safety of teachers and students from all aspects.
Weekly classes, lectures, large-scale evacuation Xi necessary for each semester, and small-scale Xi from time to time, Ye Zhiping is by no means sloppy when it comes to safety issues.
In our view, Ye Zhiping's actions have saved thousands of lives, but before 2008, the Education Bureau continued to receive complaints from parents.
In the eyes of parents, Ye Zhiping is a very irresponsible principal, and during the time when the school building was being renovated, the biggest dissatisfaction of parents with him was noise.
And those safety lectures and courses, as well as the frequent earthquake Xi, make parents think that Ye Zhiping is wasting their children's Xi time.
The principals of other schools were eager to sharpen their heads and let the students rush to the point, but Ye Zhiping was increasing the number of Xi, from once or twice a semester at the beginning, to once a month, or even once a week.
The parents' grievances became heavier and heavier, but Ye Zhiping turned a deaf ear and still strictly demanded that all teachers and students in the school must gather in the playground as quickly as possible after the start of the Xi.
To this end, Ye Zhiping also drew up a detailed plan, because the teaching building is on a high floor, if all the students run at the same speed, it is easy to have accidents.
After accumulating experience in many Xi exercises, Ye Zhiping planned a complete escape plan, the seats in the classroom, each class must be arranged in strict accordance with 9 columns and 8 rows, during the Xi, four rows go out of the front door, and four rows go out of the back door.
Every two classes on the same floor share a staircase, each lined up in a line to go downstairs in an orderly manner, and the speed of different floors is different, the second and third floors go downstairs quickly to buy time for high-rise escape, and the fourth and fifth floors can not be too fast, so as not to cause stampede accidents due to excessive crowd flow.
Even if the students were reluctant, they were familiar with this method by repeating it many times, and when the earthquake really came, it was by relying on the continuous Xi that all the teachers and students were evacuated in an orderly manner.
Many people said that if it weren't for the traverser, they wouldn't know that a serious earthquake would occur, why would Ye Zhiping do this with infamy.
The facts behind it
In fact, the truth behind it is very simple, Ye Zhiping knew that there were very serious problems when the teaching building was built, and no one even dared to accept the building at that time.
In the 80s of the last century, many construction companies were not standardized, their construction methods were not scientific, the process was not rigorous, and the phenomenon of enriching one's own pocket was very common.
The construction of the teaching building of Sangzao Middle School has serious safety hazards, even cement paper bags are filled in the wall cracks, and the diameter of the load-bearing columns does not meet the safety standards.
Therefore, after Ye Zhiping became the principal, he would rather be scolded for making noise to affect students' learning and Xi, and should complete the reinforcement of the teaching building as soon as possible.
During this period, funding was a big problem, so Ye Zhiping was always submitting applications to his superiors, and without a large amount of funds, he applied for tens of thousands of dollars, and he insisted on reinforcing the entire building.
But he was still not at ease, after all, there was a problem at the beginning of the construction of the building, and even if it was reinforced, it could not be guaranteed, so he continued to organize earthquake drills for teachers and students in the school, and time proved that Ye Zhiping'Xi s choice was correct.
end
From being infamous to being called the "best principal", Ye Zhiping has not changed himself, he is still doing everything he insists on, and he can always be seen busy in the process of post-disaster reconstruction.
However, only 3 years later, Ye Zhiping suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage due to overwork, and finally died after rescue efforts failed.
Some people say that Ye Zhiping may be a traverser, in the cycle of time, he is working hard to save the teachers and students of the school, and the last time, he succeeded.
Cycle after cycle, he saved thousands of families, and changing the fate of so many people requires a high price, and he chose to dedicate himself.
This statement really has no scientific basis, it is just circulating on the Internet, but there is a sentence that is true, that is, Ye Zhiping has always dedicated himself to the school and students.
A few months later, the Communist Party of China's Sichuan Province posthumously awarded Ye Zhiping the title of "Outstanding Communist Party Member", he has left, but his spirit is immortal, and his spirit will remain in Sangzao Middle School to protect more students.
