There are thousands of teachers with the surname Wang in the world, but among my junior high school classmates, when I talk about Teacher Wang, I generally refer to Teacher Wang Xiaoli.
I attended Junior High School in Yeyu Middle School in Chunhua County. Teacher Wang Xiaoli gave us a Chinese substitute class. He had only just graduated from normal school. Big head, big man, wear highly myopic glasses. I was under the impression that he often wore an old-fashioned earth red jacket.
Teacher Wang looked anxious and looked steady and old. In fact, the steady old four words have nothing to do with him. He was innocent and innocent like a naughty boy, teaching seriously and obsessively, and the rest of the things were not disputed, and he laughed at it.
Teacher Wang leads three classes and four classes of Chinese, and is also the class teacher of four classes.
I'm in three shifts. Before class, we have to sing first. After the Beijing Asian Games, we are still singing "Asian Wind": we are In Asia, the mountain is a high head. We in Asia, the river is like a stream of blood...
In the hit TV series "Longing", we can't help but sing: how many past events have been, as if it was just yesterday. How many friends have I had, as if I was still around...
We seem to love to sing the theme song of "Tang Taizong Li Shimin": Aha, let me give my hand to the rivers and mountains to please you, and all the people will sing in unison for thousands of years...
However, across a wall, listen to what the fourth class led by teacher Wang Xiaoli next door sings: we are bathed in seven colors of sunshine, and we light up the ocean of flowers. Starlight is the street lamp of the seeker, and the fire ball is the crystallization of cohesion... Nine-four-four, moving forward, moving forward.
Good. It was the class song written by Mr. Wang Xiaoli for the fourth class, and the song composed by the music teacher of our school.
At that time, Yeyu Middle School did not have a school song, but the fourth class had a class song, a class flag, and a class journal. If I could issue another class currency, I would be able to declare independence. It's a joke.
■ It was filmed at the Yeyu Middle School Sports Day in 1992, which was the first year of Teacher Wang's teaching
Teacher Wang Xiaoli was the first child king, and his strength was great. Our school is called Yeyu Middle School, which is named because it is close to the Yeyu River. Teacher Wang took us to the river beach, playing water, reading poems, and watching the wings of the red dragonfly in the sunset. Sometimes, students from our third and fourth classes were put together and held recitations.
I remember once, teacher Wang Xiaoli arranged for Zhang Ni, a student in the fourth class, to recite Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Daughter of the Sea" to us.
We felt that we had grown up and were no longer suitable for fairy tales like princesses and princes, so we were very dismissive, impatient to listen, and twittering at the bottom.
Teacher Wang Xiaoli made gestures to scare us and let us listen quietly. We listened quietly, and then we listened.
Zhang Ni was a delicate girl made of crystal, her voice was so good, like a wind chime, she recited word by word: the hull of the ship was illuminated, even every small rope could be seen, and the people on the boat could certainly see it more clearly. Ah, how handsome this young prince is. When the music faded away in this glorious night, he shook hands with the sailors, laughing, smiling...
We began to marvel secretly, and also began to be convinced, such a long article, this Zhang Niya, how can it be memorized?
Looking at Zhang Ni again, I think she is as beautiful as the princess in the fairy tale.
Looking at Teacher Wang again, he closed his eyes, shook his head, and listened intoxicatedly.
Teacher Wang Xiaoli likes to read aloud. It is not necessary to read the text, and sometimes he will find some words that he likes to read to us. His Mandarin is honest, not good. In class he speaks vinegar-slipped Mandarin, and after class he speaks Shaanxi dialect, and it is a very earthy kind. During the reading, he sometimes couldn't listen to himself, and after reading half of it, he smiled and said: Next, I will find a classmate to read to us.
We covered our faces with textbooks at the bottom and laughed.
There are a few things that impressed me deeply.
Once in class, I don't know why, when it comes to South Korea, at that time we are used to calling South Korea South Korea. Teacher Wang Xiaoli said that China and South Korea have not yet established diplomatic relations.
The squad leader of our third class did not raise his hand, so he shouted: Diplomatic relations have been established, diplomatic relations were established yesterday, and I have watched the "News Network".
Wang Xiaoli blew a mouthful of the chalk ash on his hand, and his face was surprised: Ah, this big thing, did not inform me.
We all laughed. I thought, Teacher Wang, you are crazy, you are not from the State Council.
If this matter were replaced by another teacher, he would definitely have a glare in his eyes and reprimand him, "No big, no small."
Teacher Wang Xiaoli does not have the so-called dignity of the teacher, he does not train students, let alone scold.
Another time, there was a classmate, who I can't remember, answered the question, answered the right answer. Teacher Wang Xiaoli took an orange from his pocket to reward this classmate.
God's operation was that he broke the orange in half, lost half of it in his mouth, bit it, and swallowed it. The remaining half was handed over to the classmate. The classmate got up embarrassed and said, "Teacher, I don't eat, you eat."
Wang Xiaoli smiled and said: Eat, eat, very sweet.
After class, we played a strange trick and surrounded the classmate and said: Eat, eat, very sweet.
The winter in the north is very cold, and when the class is held, Teacher Wang Xiaoli holds a book to give a lecture, and his eyes are short-sighted and his head can be drilled into the book. As he spoke, his feet were cold, so he stepped off the podium and circled around the classroom while speaking. This is not to mention, found that there are dozing or doing small actions of the students, without saying a word, walked over, put one hand into the collar behind the neck to warm their hands, the other hand with the textbook to continue the lecture, without delay. Look at the classmate who was a hand warmer, who has been grinning at the ice.
Of course, boys only. Among the boys, the one who enjoys this treatment the most is Gu Moumou.
Gu Moumou is the smallest, most naughty and most intelligent boy in our class. Gu Moumou loves to scold the girl, and scolds the ingenious, live learning to use, he will use the knowledge points he just learned, for example, he will scold: your mother to an Echo, your mother to a polynomial, your mother to a square difference, your mother to an equilateral triangle ... It seems that people listen to lectures in class.
Gu Moumou also became a teacher later, and I don't know if he will also put his hand into the back neck of the student. Probably not.
I still remember that once Teacher Wang Xiaoli talked to us and asked us what the ideal classroom was like.
Some students said that they were sitting on the grass, eating bread and drinking soda while attending class.
Some students said that they took the train and traveled while taking classes.
Teacher Wang smiled and said that he thought the most ideal classroom was to sit on the big kang in the countryside, no electric lights, too dazzling. Light the lamp, and a little flame in the dusk is enough. Everyone was tightly packed in a circle, face to face, the hearts of the feet next to the hearts of the feet, hot, he would tell stories to everyone, no need to take textbooks, no need to look at watches, talk about wherever it is.
We laughed and thought to ourselves that Teacher Wang was talking nonsense again.
Teacher Wang said: When I retire, I will come to my house, my family has KangLi, we really sit on the Kang, and have a good lesson.
We laughed again and said yes.
Wang Xiaoli is a son of a peasant family, and his family is in Xifeng Village, Bu's hometown, and he does have Kang, which is not false.
Just now I said that Teacher Wang Xiaoli gave them a class newspaper for the fourth class. It was a hand-copied tabloid. One issue a week, called The Starlight. The name comes from the lyrics of the ban song "Starlight is the Street Lamp of the Seeker".
On weekends, a group of students huddled in Teacher Wang Xiaoli's dormitory, chattering and running newspapers.
In fact, this is not a class newspaper in the strict sense. Because our third class students can also contribute to this newspaper. Later, the impact was great, and students from other classes also contributed articles.
The editor-in-chief of the newspaper is us students. I remember that the editor-in-chief had Jia Yuanyuan and Wang Aijuan of the fourth class. They and I both played big in the county party committee compound, so. I was impressed. They both later studied medicine. Jia Yuanyuan later worked at the Xianyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, while Wang Aijuan worked as a doctor in police uniforms at the largest prison in Shaanxi.
There is a row of newspaper columns in the school yard, and the Starlight Newspaper is sandwiched in the newspaper columns, and all the students in the school are crowded to see it.
I remember a pair of twin boys, named Wang Qi and Wang Yu, forgot which one was one of them, he posted a fantasy novel in the newspaper, writing about his classmates twenty years later, who flew to heaven, who became the governor of the province, who who did not abide by family planning and gave birth to two babies...
Except for the one who gave birth to two babies, the others who were named were like winning an award, and they were eager to pull the whole school over to see and say that whoever was who was me.
In short, this "Starlight" was too hot at the time. Many students are holding their nerve to write essays, write well, submit articles, and want to go to the "Starlight Newspaper" and want to be starry.
■ This is the "Starlight Newspaper" that the students copied by hand that year.
At that time, Zheng Yuanjie's editor-in-chief's "Fairy Tale King" was very popular among classmates, and once this magazine called for "a sentence that I most want to say to my parents.".
Yao Feng, a student in the fourth class, was selected for a sentence of "Dad, please don't smoke". This sentence became a lead word and printed on "Fairy Tale King". This matter was suddenly sensational, not only the fourth class, but also our third class, everyone knew about it and envied it.
I heard two classmates talking about it between classes.
One said: After school, let's go to the newspaper store of the post office to buy a copy. I don't have enough money, so we buy it together.
Another: Don't envy Yao Feng, let's write well, and then we can publish it in the Starlight Newspaper.
You see, in our eyes, our "Starlight" and Zheng Yuanjie's "Fairy Tale King" are a grade.
By the way, Yao Feng is a fourth-class bully, good looking, is the little prince in the class, as described in "The Daughter of the Sea", "Ah, how handsome this young prince is." Yao Feng later became an expert in national defense research. By the way, Yao Feng married Zhang Ni after graduating from college, and the little princess and little prince of the fourth class were together, as beautiful as a fairy tale.
Later, I worked at a newspaper and made a living by writing articles, and the one that stayed the longest was called "Sunshine Newspaper", which was a word difference from "Starlight Newspaper". fate.
Sometimes I think that when I am engaged in writing work, I should have something to do with the "Starlight Newspaper" run by Teacher Wang Xiaoli. It was Teacher Wang who planted a seed for me.
But I can't remember if I ever published an essay in this newspaper. I should have posted one.
The american editor of "Starlight" is yan Xuanqun, who is a boarding student. Yan Xuanqun is a painting genius. On the blackboard newspaper on the back wall of the classroom were the large heads of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin. He can draw it by following it. The walls are colored, his paintings are black and white, and there is no difference.
Teacher Wang Xiaoli loves Cai and asks Yan Xuanqun to move to his dormitory to live with him. The faculty dormitory can plug in an electric stove to boil instant noodles, and you can plug in electric mattresses. More importantly, you can draw with peace of mind.
Later, Yan Xuanqun was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts.
I suddenly remembered that Teacher Wang Xiaoli himself liked to draw, and there was a self-portrait of him on the wall of his dormitory. A man wearing highly myopic glasses. He told me it was painted when he was in school.
In class, he also draws on the blackboard. For example, talk about how the ancients sat on a mat. He drew it for us to see.
Oh, yes, I'm a guy who loves to draw dolls in textbooks. Teacher Wang found out, and if he got the most precious treasure, he borrowed my book and copied it. While drawing, he laughed hesitantly.
After graduating from junior high school, I went to Chunhua Middle School to attend high school, and Teacher Wang was also transferred away from Yeyu Middle School to a township middle school close to my parents for some reason. From the county seat to the township, in the eyes of the average person, it is going downhill. However, with my understanding of Teacher Wang, he is still willing to get close to the countryside and nature.
After that, I went to Xi'an to study, and after reading the book, I begged for a living in Xi'an, rarely returned to my hometown, and never had the opportunity to see Teacher Wang Xiaoli again.
Among my classmates, some of them had the heart to take the time to visit Teacher Wang Xiaoli. I got some news from them about Teacher Wang.
Listen to them say that Teacher Wang Xiaoli has a good life, his wife knows cold and knows heat, and his daughter is also well-behaved and obedient. Treat the work, or so attentive, but also to the students to run publications. As soon as computers became popular, they became printed magazines instead of hand-copied tabloids. The cover is based on the students' own photos, the content is the students' own compositions, and the students hold such magazines, which is estimated to be the same joy as when we were huddled around watching the "Starlight Newspaper". Teacher Wang is sowing seeds again.
Teacher Wang Xiaoli also engaged in comic strips himself. Make up a good story, divide the shots, find students to perform, shoot with the camera, and then use it as a drawing software to change it to a sketch effect mode, print and bind, and it will become.
Teacher Wang went to Xianyang to see a doctor one year, which was the hospital where Jia Yuanyuan of the fourth class worked. Teacher Wang specially brought a set of comic strips he made up to Jia Yuanyuan.
One of them is called "Home Visits", and a certain page of text is: Teacher Wang sat on a bamboo chair in the living room, laughing and asking Du Fan what he was busy with during the holidays. Du Fan said that his mother had to take care of the shop, and his main task was to take care of his little brother...
Teacher Wang in the picture is Teacher Wang Xiaoli, hahaha, real people are photogenic.
■ Teacher Wang in the self-made comic strip is also called Teacher Wang
In 2017, I added Wang Xiaoli's WeChat through my classmates. Teacher Wang did not forget me, read my article, and said that I had a career.
I was very scared and ashamed, typing: Among the classmates, I think Yao Fengcai really has a chance. I'm not. I'll try, try to make a little achievement.
Teacher Wang replied: As long as you have determination, I think you will succeed. You and Yao Feng are only involved in different fields, he is a scientific researcher, you are a literary creation, and in the eyes of the teacher, you are like two different flowers.
The teacher said I was a flower, and I was very touched. I sent a screenshot of our chat to a circle of friends as a souvenir.
After that, when it was all right, I walked around Teacher Wang's QQ space and looked at his logs. There is an article called "Churning Dough", and the ending sentence is: Jade white churning, red peppers, dark green sauerkraut, together, is a good meal for us.
I think this is the real life of Teacher Wang Xiaoli, doing things in a down-to-earth manner, eating with peace of mind, living a homely life, and being content and happy.
A few days ago, I was still chatting with Teacher Wang on WeChat. Teacher Wang Xiaoli told me that his daughter was married last year and is now far away in Ningbo, working at the highway toll booth. As soon as her daughter left, Teacher Wang's heart was empty. He also said that there are very few students in the schools in the countryside now, most of them have entered the city, and this year they have only 103 students in the whole school. The frontline is full of young teachers. He was older and in poor health now, so he became a janitor and a receiver. After another five years, he retired.
I listened, my nose was sour, and I suddenly remembered Teacher Wang's hot kang covenant, he said that when he retired, he would sit with us in the big kang, face to face, the heart of the foot next to the foot, and give us another good lesson.
However, we are all scattered like birds, and our teacher Wang is old, can we still get together?
I'm afraid not.
In Yeyu Middle School, in addition to Teacher Wang Xiaoli, other teachers are also very memorable.
Math teacher Yao Yuting. Senior Teacher. Deputies to the National People's Extremely strict with students, having a daughter is also strictly cultivated. A few years ago, I took my children to participate in a child-raising activity of a certain children's education brand, and happened to meet Teacher Yao Yuting, who helped her daughter with children. I recognized it at a glance. It was a pleasant surprise. Teacher Yao with a grandson is not strict at all, hahaha.
The English teacher's surname is Don. Fair skin. Gold wire glasses. The beard is shaved clean, and you can smell the soap when you get closer. It is impossible for such a foreign person not to teach English. Teacher Tang later entered the government department and became the director of a certain bureau.
Art teacher Wang Peiliang. Tall and handsome, very artist. The school stipulates that teachers and students go out for morning exercises together, and Teacher Wang Peiliang often stands on the cement stand of the playground and recites Tang poems loudly, if there is no one around. One year on New Year's Day, for a party, Teacher Wang Peiliang came up with an anagram, and I answered it. Teacher Wang Peiliang gave me a picture of a lady he drew as a prize.
The music teacher is Wang Yanli, who composes the song for the fourth class. Beijing Zhiqing. So she was the only teacher in our school who also spoke Mandarin after class. She taught us a lot of songs, and all I remember now is "Where is the spring, where is the spring?" Spring is in the eyes of that little friend..."
Her daughter is wang yi and is in the same class as me. White like a snow doll. Once, I saw Wang Yi take a handful of soft dates (the fruit of Jun qianzi, like a small persimmon, which can be eaten after soft hanging cream) and rinse it under the tap. It was a shock to me. Beijing people really pay attention to hygiene. We locals eat soft dates that never wash.
The PE teacher seems to be a strong fly. On a rainy day, we couldn't take classes in the playground, so we listened to Mr. Qiangfei talk about physical education in the classroom. His board books are flowing and very beautiful. It's a combination of culture and martial arts.
If you put Teacher Wang Xiaoli into these teachers, you can tell them at a glance. Because other teachers are very foreign, Teacher Wang Xiaoli is the most earthy. Big man, myopic glasses, wearing an earthy red jacket, likes to laugh.
However, what I love most is this teacher Wang Xiaoli.
Like Mr. Matthew in the French movie "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class", Mr. Wang Xiaoli also made me and my classmates unforgettable.
