<b>Editor's Note:</b>
<b>One side of the podium, three feet of the podium. Today, China ushered in the 37th Teachers' Day, and the Ministry of Education elected</b> <b>the first batch of</b> <b>100 educational families. From now on, Qilu Evening News • Qilu OnePoint launched a series of reports on "The World's Peach and Plum, All in the Family", walking into the education family in Shandong and digging deep into the story of the education family's inheritance from generation to generation, in order to pay tribute to the education family and the majority of teachers. </b>
At the beginning of the new semester of the university, Zhao Jian, dean of the School of Physical Education of Weifang University, also began to get busy. In this home of three generations and 11 people, it is not only Zhao Jian who has begun to be busy. "Of the 11 people in the family, 8 are teachers, my wife and I are in Weifang, my daughter and eldest brother and sister-in-law are in Beijing's colleges and universities, and my parents and sister are in Jinan." Although Zhao Jianyi's family is located in three places, the same profession makes the family more closely related to each other. But in their view, their family members are far more than these 11 people.
<b>Three generations as teachers, witnessing the development of education in New China</b>
At the beginning of the new semester, all the students have not yet returned to school, but the teaching of Zhao Jian, dean of the School of Physical Education of Weifang University, is already underway, demonstrating the movements for the students, churning on the double pole, and the standard movements do not show that this is already an old professor who is about to usher in his 36th Teacher's Day.

For 36 years, he has always been in the front line of teaching, and in Zhao Jian's view, this is his duty. "Since I was a child, I have heard about this serious and teaching environment." Zhao Jian said that in their home, there is not only one old teacher, and there is more than one teacher, "Everyone is a member of the development of China's education industry, and they must do their own work in their own position." ”
Zhao Jian's parents now live in the family building of the Yanshan campus of Shandong University of Finance and Economics, and the couple, who are 92 years old and 88 years old respectively, are the two real old teachers in Zhao Jian's mouth. After the founding of New China, the two young people of that year successively became teachers, from the teaching career to many places, from Jinan to Heze, and from Heze to Jinan, and now their two sons, daughters-in-law, daughters and eldest granddaughters have also become teachers.
(There are 8 teachers in 11 people in three generations of the family)
"Eight members of the family of 11 are or have been people's teachers." Holding a group photo of the family, one by one, Zhao Jian's father, Zhao Ruilin, also had a proud face, he was also a college physical education teacher, and his mother Tian Bin taught and educated people in middle school. Zhao Jian is the second son of the two old men, the second daughter-in-law Zhang Yunhua has also been "fighting side by side" in the School of Physical Education of Weifang University for more than 30 years, the eldest son Zhao Ming is a professor at China Agricultural University, the eldest daughter-in-law Liu Hong is a professor and doctoral supervisor of Beihang University, the daughter Zhao Jing is the closest of all the children and grandchildren to the two old people, is a teaching secretary of Shandong University of Finance and Economics, and the eldest granddaughter is an associate professor and doctoral supervisor of Tsinghua University.
"When the teacher is good, we need to teach and educate people at any time, we were hard at that time, we were pioneering and struggling for the educational cause of new China, and completed the tasks entrusted to us by the party and the state, but these children are better than us, and at different stages of the development of education in new China, everyone has worked diligently." Zhao Ruilin said.
On the wall of the home, there are several calligraphy works of the old man, one of which was written for his eldest daughter-in-law, as a well-known expert in the field of Aerospace in China, the two old people also regard her as the pride of the family.
<b>Teaching is ordinary and down-to-earth</b>
In the College of Information and Electrical Engineering of China Agricultural University, Zhao Ming's courses this semester are still very full, with four undergraduate courses in one semester, a total of almost 160 hours, and Zhao Ming, who is sixty years old, does not dare to be sloppy in every class. "If you don't prepare for class, you don't go to class, and you must be serious about every class, which may also be inherited from your parents." Zhao Ming said that since teaching for nearly 40 years, he has never stopped teaching undergraduates. In 2020, Zhao Ming became a famous teacher in Beijing, but in his opinion, this is not nothing. "Compared to our parents' teaching careers, we are all far behind."
"Being a teacher is ordinary, but you also have to be down-to-earth." Although he is deeply respected by his children, when it comes to his teaching career, Zhao Ruilin always says that "his brain is empty". "In those years as a teacher, I thought about completing the tasks arranged by the party and the state, and I wanted to be responsible for students and teaching."
As a university physical education teacher, Zhao Ruilin's works such as "Simple Track and Field Field Measurement", "Organization and Referee Law of Athletics Competition", and "Athletics Sports Venue" now have guiding significance for the construction of athletics venues. "If you want to say that the children have done anything, there is probably nothing, but I hope that when a teacher does two things, be strict with the students and be responsible for teaching."
In each child's home, there is a collection of Zhao Ruilin's calligraphy works, in which Zhao Ruilin has his own interpretation of the word "shi", "shouldering heavy responsibilities, teaching and educating people, doing his best, and serving the country and the people." The interpretation of the word "virtue" is "educating people, knowing good and evil, knowing honor and disgrace, and dividing right from wrong."
"Virtue is a teacher, the body is a model, in ordinary life, the old people do not say anything, the so-called inheritance may be an atmosphere, is their words and deeds to the children and grandchildren of the subtle influence." 」 For her mother-in-law, the second daughter-in-law Zhang Yunhua has always had respect, and for her father-in-law's book, she has also marked the two pages of the word "shi" and the word "de" separately.
"I have also retired, but even if I communicate with the elderly now, I am often inspired, and after 33 years as a teacher, I hope that I can pass on this subtle influence to every student." Zhang Yunhua said that she also vaguely remembers her husband Zhao Jian taking students to compete and letting her boil eggs every day to supplement the students' nutrition, "Treat students like children." ”
"Sometimes it's a joke that the two of them are better to their students than to us children." Zhao Jing has been the most pampered little sister in the family since she was a child. Now that she has been working at Shandong University of Finance and Economics for 15 years, she always has a little more patience whenever she faces students. "Whenever I face a student, I always have those images of my parents treating students, and sometimes I think that this may come from the subtle chemistry of my parents."
<b>More than 30 years apart, students over sixty years old came back to look for them</b>
In the home located in the Shandong University of Finance and Economics, except for the festival, there are basically only two ninety-year-old people. But here is quiet but not cold, Zhao Ruilin likes to practice calligraphy, Tian Bin likes to do activities, and the cane fitness method founded by Zhao Ruilin after retirement is also a common hobby of the two.
(Zhao Ruilin and Tian Bin, two old men, have been teaching for decades)
In addition, from time to time, there are calls from former students or visits from students.
"The two have been retired for more than 30 years, and the students they were then considered to be elderly, but those students still often come to visit these two teachers, and their children are not often around, but the 'children' of the two old people are not only these." Zhao Jing said.
In May 2020, the two elderly people who were alone at home welcomed a guest who braved the rain, Tian Bin opened the door, and the visitor was a sentence, "Teacher Tian, we haven't seen each other for more than 30 years!" ”
A sudden greeting stirred the old man, a visitor who had been teaching a student decades earlier when he was teaching at heze Shizhuo High School.
"For so many years, I especially missEd Teacher Tian, I only found out that she lived there, I don't know which building it was, it was raining heavily that day, and I found Teacher Tian's door from morning to afternoon." The student who rushed to Jinan from Heze is named Liu Hongcun, who is now more than 60 years old and still remembers his former teacher. "At that time, my family was in difficulty, and the cotton cloth I spun at home took to school, and the clothes were sewn by Teacher Tian, and they were sewn very well." Liu Hongcun said.
In fact, "Liu Hongcun" is not more than one, in the old man Tian Bin's notepad, there is a classmate address book, which is the student address book of the sixth and eighth grade (7) class of Jinan No. 39 Middle School, which is the only class of students taught by the old man in Jinan No. 39 Middle School before he went to Heze with her husband in 1970.
"The year I moved to Heze, I was in the first grade, and when I opened the door that morning, the door was full of students whose mothers had come from all over Jinan to send them off, and someone was waiting outside the door at 5 a.m., and that scene is still one of the deepest memories of childhood." Zhao Ming said that even though his parents stayed in Heze for more than ten years, these students have always been worried about this teacher. "In 1993, we were all working in the field, and these students helped run my mother's 60th birthday."
"It was a special time, and as a teacher, you probably had to think more than their parents." Whenever they saw those students who were also old people, Tian Bin and Zhao Ruilin were also very emotional. "They have all lived happily all these years, not what we have done, it is actually the credit of education."
<b>One discipline is a teacher, and the good teachers cultivated are all over Qilu</b>
When his own children have gradually aged, in this family of education, they have also ushered in a third generation of teachers. In 2020, after receiving her ph.D. abroad, her eldest granddaughter gave up her tenure at a foreign university to return to China and is now an associate professor at Tsinghua University.
"Although scientific research must be done well, teaching must be done well." This is what Zhao Ruilin instructed his granddaughter, in his view, teaching and educating people is still the duty and the most important duty of teachers.
His career ranged from graduating from Shandong Normal College (now Shandong Normal University) to teaching at heze to participate in the establishment of the famous Heze Normal College Physical Education Department, and then returning to Jinan to teach at the Shandong Institute of Economics at that time, where he served as the head of the department and vice president, was a model worker in Shandong Province, and was also elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress. "If there are any achievements, it is still a group of excellent teachers." Zhao Ruilin said.
In the Physical Education Department of Heze Normal College at that time, Zhao Ruilin served as the leader of the teaching and research team of the National Physical Education Department, and the teachers were "three strict" - strict lesson preparation, strict teaching, and strict investigation and study, and students had to "three meetings" - can do, talk, and teach. At that time, the Physical Education Department of Heze Normal College not only provided a large number of outstanding physical education teachers for Heze, but also for many colleges, middle schools, and primary schools in the province.
"Our group of students later became the backbone of various schools." Han Xiaohui, 64, a retired teacher at the University of Jinan, was one of the first students of Heze Normal College after the resumption of the college entrance examination, and she also visited her teacher every year in Jinan.
"I still remember the words he said, 'I'd rather you hate me for two years in school than for the rest of your life after work', and his strictness and his kindness have benefited each of our students." Han Xiaohui said.
"A family of 8 teachers, among the many teachers in China, we are all ordinary members." Zhao Jian said that today, in the cause of cultivating physical education teachers, he is still continuing what his father has done.
"In this position, we must be responsible for every student, excellence, down-to-earth, from teaching for more than 30 years, from the Changwei Teacher's College to today's Weifang College, the most gratifying thing for us is that our graduates have supported the physical education of local primary and secondary schools." Zhao Jian said that for his generation, there is little left in his teaching career.
"I have never counted how many students have been taught, if you count from the parents' generation, there are people in our family who have stuck to the education front in three generations, and we have more students working on the education front." In a way, they are also members of our family. Zhao Jian said.
