Teachers are mentors and mentors on the path of students' growth. The annual Teacher's Day is coming, starting from today, the "Chu Feng Night Talk" column launched a series of reports "Hello Teacher", telling about the good teachers around you and thanking the teachers for their hard work. In Dingzui Central School in Suyu District, there is such a teacher, his figure is like the kerosene lamp swaying in the wind and rain but never extinguished, warm and firm. He is Wang Shouliang, a rural teacher who has written a legend of education with 42 years of youth. From a 19-year-old young boy to a silver-haired man, Wang Shouliang is deeply rooted in this land and has held up a sky of knowledge for rural children.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, in a classroom in the sixth grade of the school, the humorous language, unstingy praise, and vivid class mode were the first impressions given by Mr. Wang Shouliang. This is a writing class, Wang Shouliang did not rush to let everyone write, but guided the students step by step to raise their hands to speak.
Wang Shouliang, a special teacher in Jiangsu Province, said: "Teach the children to speak step by step, speak first and then write, and slowly open their minds. For example, today, I asked them to observe my height and weight, and under my guidance, they have a certain grasp of this kind of writing about people. ”
Wang Shouliang's teaching style is unique, he is good at using humorous language to make boring knowledge points vivid and interesting. In his classes, the students are always laughing and learning becomes easy and enjoyable.
Wang Shouliang, a special teacher in Jiangsu Province, said: "When I first started teaching, I liked to watch the Jiangsu Education Channel, and there was a teacher Yu Yongzheng, who was a relatively early special teacher, and his style of teaching was very humorous, and he often made the children laugh when guiding students to read. Later, I have been learning from Yongzheng's teaching cases and classroom ideas. In this way, it is easier for children to learn and accept. ”
Student Sun Di said: "He cares about our classes very much, and when he teaches us, he does it step by step and does not get angry. I found his classes very interesting and I enjoyed taking his classes. ”
Wang Shouliang's rich teaching experience comes from his 42-year coaching career. After graduating from high school in 1983, he chose to return to his hometown to teach.
Wang Shouliang, a special-grade teacher in Jiangsu Province, said: "At that time, a secretary in the village planned to ask me to work as an accountant in the village. Later, I thought about it, because I had just come out of school, I still wanted to study, I wanted to read all day long, and I thought it was great to be a teacher. ”
At that time, Wang Shouliang was teaching in Hanji Village Primary School in Baoan Township, which at that time was in very poor conditions.
Wang Shouliang, a special teacher in Jiangsu Province, said: "Many students sit on stools made of mud with wooden planks on them. At the beginning, there was no electricity, and when we worked or students went to study at night, we used to light kerosene lamps. ”
At that time, teachers' salaries were low, and in addition to teaching, Wang Shouliang also had to take care of the family's farm work. Even during the autumn harvest, he was able to finish the work in the fields late at night to ensure that he could stand on the podium the next day with full energy.
Wang Shouliang, a special-grade teacher in Jiangsu Province, said: "There are 10 acres of land in my home, and I go to plow the land when I get home at 6 o'clock to have a little food, and plow until 1 o'clock in the morning. It's the same with rice planting, every time we plant rice, it's the last one in our family to finish planting, and I can only get up early and help her a little. ”
In the past 42 years, Wang Shouliang has been transferred to many schools, and has always adhered to the post of rural education. In the face of the long commute, he insisted on riding a battery bike to and fro, rain or shine.
Wang Shouliang, a special-grade teacher in Jiangsu Province, said: "It takes nearly two hours to ride a battery car from the security guard to this nearly 70-mile road. I was also transferred to the central school, and two schools in the city were also going to ask me to go, but I thought, children in the countryside also need teachers, right? We also need high-quality resources, and we also need good teachers to teach. ”
Wang Shouliang's efforts have also paid off. He has been awarded the honorary titles of National Model Teacher and Jiangsu Provincial Special Teacher, and has become a model and role model for rural education. Recently, the Provincial Department of Education selected the "2024 Jiangsu Teacher of the Year", and only 2 people in Suqian were on the list, including Wang Shouliang.
Wang Dongsong, secretary of the Party branch and principal of Dingzui Central School in Suyu District, said: "He usually has a little problem and never asks for leave, and has always taken the school as his home. He has a dormitory in our school and lives in the school every day. I usually work at night, sometimes until eleven or twelve o'clock. Under his leadership, the level of education, scientific research and classroom education in our school has been greatly improved. ”
In November this year, Wang Shouliang will officially retire. But after retiring, he decided to continue working in the field of education, using his light and heat to illuminate the children's path to education.
Wang Shouliang, a special-grade teacher in Jiangsu Province, said: "There are two schools in the city that have already told me that they are ready to hire me as a consultant, to be a teaching and research consultant, and to contribute their surplus energy to the education cause of our Suyu District." ”
It is said that the teacher burns himself and illuminates the candle of others, and Wang Shouliang is such a portrayal. Around us, there are still many rural teachers who silently dedicate themselves on the podium, holding up the dreams and hopes of generations of children and paying tribute to them.
