"Education is the hope that will change the fate of children. This is a sentence that Li Shiquan, a teacher from the No. 2 Middle School of Tumshuk City of the Third Division, often talks about.
A year ago, Li Shiquan responded to the call of the country, gave up his small family for everyone without hesitation, and traveled thousands of miles to the border of the motherland, just to ignite the flame of pursuing truth and knowledge for local children. He overcame his discomfort with the environment, restrained his longing for his family, and worked hard to selflessly pass on what he had learned to his local colleagues, so that the flame of education could be widely spread.
Li Shiquan, deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of Huaiji County No. 1 Middle School, Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province, is currently the secretary of the Youth League Committee of Shishi No. 2 Middle School and the head of the political teaching and research group of the third grade group of Shishi City. He nourishes the hearts of each student with the nectar of love, and outlines the most beautiful friendship between teachers and students with wisdom and enthusiasm. On the podium, he is rigorous and meticulous, so that students can deeply perceive the charm of language teaching, and in life, he is approachable and sincere, and knocks on the hearts of every student with love and responsibility.
In March 2023, the 11th batch of Xinjiang teachers from Guangdong Province came to Shishi City with expectations and longing, starting a one-and-a-half-year road of aiding Xinjiang teaching. "I had the idea of coming to Xinjiang for a long time, to appreciate the unique cultural customs of Xinjiang, and to feel the spirit of the XPCC people taking root at the grassroots level and guarding the frontier. When I learned that the school had a quota for Xinjiang teachers, I signed up as soon as possible. Talking about why he chose to aid Xinjiang, Li Shiquan expressed his heart, "I want to do my best to contribute to the education of the motherland's borders." Although the huge difference in environment and reality has brought me new challenges, it has also promoted my growth. Only in this way will I give political lessons to my students in the future, stressing love for the motherland, guarding the frontiers, and national unity, so that they will have flesh and blood, personal experience and understanding, and will not be so pale and powerless. ”
At the beginning of the school year, Shishi No. 2 Middle School asked him to take the lead in the work of the school's Communist Youth League according to Li Shiquan's work experience and strengths. Li Shiquan agreed without hesitation, "Thank you to the school party committee for your trust in me, I will do my best to do a good job." ”

In order to fully implement the classics of Chinese culture into the campus and vigorously promote the excellent traditional Chinese culture, Li Shiquan added the link of "reciting classics of Chinese culture" at the weekly flag-raising ceremony, and the class that presided over the flag-raising ceremony collectively read and recited a classic article of Chinese culture, which has now become a characteristic brand of Shishi No. 2 Middle School. He also actively organized the creation of a military band and played the national anthem live, making the flag-raising ceremony more shocking and stimulating the patriotic feelings of students.

Through a variety of activities, the sense of community of the Chinese nation is rooted in the hearts of teachers and students of all ethnic groups. Shishi No. 2 Middle School was also rated as a civilized campus of the Corps and a "small folk art museum" of the Chinese People's Association.
Striving to do a good job of helping and leading is the original intention and purpose of every professional and technical talent to help Xinjiang. In order to help improve the ability of young teachers in the school and help the school cultivate a talent team that cannot be taken away, Li Shiquan gave full play to the role of demonstration and leadership, guided and organized teachers in the subject group to carry out a series of teaching and research activities, and introduced the advanced concepts of education and teaching into the school for discussion and promotion.

In 2023, a total of 23 teachers from Shishi No. 2 Middle School won good results in the teaching competition for young teachers at the Corps and Division City levels, including 4 teachers of political science.
