He dedicated most of his life
Education in the motherland
After retiring, he founded the "Home for Left-behind Minors"
Free make-up classes, food and accommodation
He is the Buchen School in Wujiang Town, Ma'anshan City and County, Anhui Province
Retired teacher Ye Lianping
The year 2000 was the tenth year of Ye Lianping's retirement
He was originally a Chinese teacher
See the weak English teaching in the village schools
He decided to use his English expertise
Opening a "Home for Left Behind Minors" in their own house
Every rest day
Ye Lianping volunteered to tutor students in English and Chinese
No fees are ever charged
More than two decades
More than 1,000 children have been helped
This one looks a little strange
He has been following Ye Lianping for many years
"This is my baton
It turned out to be scrap, the rod of the badminton racket"
This is the epitome of Ye Lianping's simple life
From clothes and furniture to daily necessities
He was reluctant to change to a new one
I still live in the old bungalow from thirty years ago
He was frugal in his clothing and food, but he was very generous to his students
At the "Home for Left-Behind Minors"
He owns the students' books and teaching aids
Many of the books in the reading room he bought from the thrift store
Mention that students love to read
He proudly said "I have more than 800 library cards"
But he never charged a penny to the students
For decades, he has devoted himself to rural education
Ye Lianping almost spent more than 300,000 yuan in savings
He said: "I take the salary of the state
Eating the grain of the state is the money of the people
The money saved should be taken from the people and used for the people."
In order to be able to teach more left-behind children
Ye Lianping has been racing against time
In 2018, he was hit and injured in the lumbar spine
Doctors put him on bed rest for 100 days after surgery
But he asked to be discharged from the hospital after only 4 days
"I don't have much time left in my life
I hope for the last breath
It was exhaled from the podium, not on the bed."
"Life goes on, the battle goes on
Bow down and die."
Ye Lianping, who is now over ninety years old
Take these 16 words as a goal and always practice them
As a member of the Communist Party, he had a wish
"I hope that when I leave, I will be recognized by the organization."
I am a qualified Communist Party member
So I'm satisfied."
The journey of a hundred years is magnificent; the original intention has not changed, and the struggle has me. There is such a group of people who interpret their faith with actions and practice their mission with hard work. CCTV News launched a column: I am one in 90 million, telling the "story of the original heart" of Communist Party members, and I hope you can draw the strength of hard work and progress from it.
