When the academic affairs team found the devotee Li Dan, she was on her knees to open the book. Because you want to ask the instructor to sign, you must unpack it one by one. This is a very small part of Li Dan's dedicated work. In fact, as early as three weeks ago, as soon as the 42nd Chinese Studies Class schedule came out, Li Dan and the devotees of her teaching affairs group began to be busy: teacher docking, courseware collection and sorting, course arrangement... Li Dan is the backbone of the unit, usually has a heavy workload, and there are two children in the family. The academic affairs team worked for a long time, could she bear it? After some conversation, I found the answer.
01. Follow the master and practice Chinese studies
One day 4 years ago, Li Dan's unit invited Professor Yan Aimin to give a lecture, and she was responsible for sending Professor Yan back. Along the way, Li Dan had the honor to communicate with Professor Yan in close proximity. At that time, her second child was about to be born.
"You are a mother of two children, and your child's education should pay attention to the enlightenment of traditional Chinese studies!" Professor Yan's words woke her up. It is no wonder that when he educates his eldest son, he is often stretched, and it turns out that he lacks the support of his own cultivation of traditional Chinese studies. Now with a second child, the burden of homeschooling is heavier. As a result, she became a student of the 23rd Chinese Studies Class.
"For the first time, with my daughter who has been in my womb for more than 9 months, I walked into you, full of expectations" - Li Dan recalled in her diary that she was married to a Chinese studies class.
When the youngest daughter was not yet one year old, she signed up for the team of devotees.
02. Change yourself to win the support of your family
When talking to Li Dan, she has always been smiling and speaking softly and gently, which shows her cultivation. But Li Dan told me that before she was grumpy, she was fiery and fiery, and she was a typical "man's wife" in the eyes of acquaintances. Such a personality often makes the husband embarrassed and helpless.
At the beginning of the Chinese studies class to make dedication, my husband did not understand. As soon as Li Dan went out, there was no elderly help in the family, the children were young, and they all relied on their husbands to take care of them. Especially the youngest daughter, who likes to cry without her mother. The husband can't figure it out, why is the wife so obsessed with doing public welfare? Over time, he found that his wife had changed, becoming more and more virtuous, more and more elegant, more and more thoughtful. The two children also found that the impatient mother had changed, becoming more and more loving and gentle. Her changes, as she herself recorded: from passive learning to active learning, from external to introspection, from impetuous to peaceful...
The change of temperament and the improvement of the realm finally made Li Dan's dedication work in the Chinese studies class win the support of his family.
03. Firm dedication there is no end to dedication
"Why do the devotees of our Chinese studies class advocate giving without asking for anything in return, but also saying gratitude? Teachers are all with great love, and it is our blessing that we can dedicate ourselves here, and this is an opportunity to cultivate our hearts and grow through experience. It is precisely with this understanding that Li Dan has never stopped as soon as he started his dedication in the Chinese Studies class. From the teaching assistant group to the teaching affairs group, from the seminar to the growth class, she almost did not leave a single one behind in various activities such as health camp, parent-child I Ching class, and Xiangxi education assistance. Learn, practice, learn and practice again.
"If you can't do anything, you can ask for yourself", "Idyllic nothingness, spiritual introspection", "Respond to changes with invariance" These classic sentences of traditional Chinese studies have become Li Dan's reminder to himself at all times. She became increasingly aware that "giving is the true meaning of life." She said that through mental training and grinding, she strives to become a lifelong practitioner of Sinology.
