After a year of hard teaching, the average English score of He Feng’s class taught has increased by more than 30 points. The English subject taught has been awarded the “Excellent Teaching Quality Award”. The music class taught has won the first prize in the “Drama into Campus” Achievements Competition of Sanjiang County Primary and Secondary Schools. He himself was awarded the “Excellent Teaching Teacher” by Sanjiang County Education Bureau, and has received unanimous praise from local people and teachers and students of the school.
Go to the Sanchi Lecture Hall again
He Feng’s fate with the teacher can be traced back to 2005. He just graduated from the English education major of Normal University and worked as an intern English teacher and class teacher in his second year of high school in Meixian Senior High School in Meizhou City. In February 200BabaylanIn February 9, as a border guard, he volunteered to work as an English teacher at Sanji Primary School, Zhanjiang City, where the grassroots company stationed.
In February 2021, he learned that the State Immigration Administration would select police officers to teach in poor areas of Sanjiang County, Guangxi. The time was Komiks for one year, and he once again had the idea of signing up.
But the situation is different from 12 years ago. The second son just turned 2 years old and the eldest son just entered kindergarten. Both parents were not around to take care of the children. He Feng wanted to speak but stopped talking when he mentioned teaching.
The wife, who is also a teacher, saw what he was thinking. Although the family faces practical difficulties, his wife supports him in teaching. “You graduated from the normal school major. The children in the mountainous areas have weak English. The organization needs you, so you can go with confidence! I’m at home!” My wife said to him sincerely.
In this way, He Feng, who was strongly supported by the organization and his family, actively responded to the call and submitted the registration form. Soon, with his English major and teaching experience, he was successfully selected as the main station teaching team and embarked on his own teaching journey.
Speaking English to enhance self-confidence
In Cenbang Primary School, what makes He Feng feel the most difficult is that the children’s learning foundation is generally weak. Taking English as an example, the English classes at Cenbang Primary School were previously served by teachers of other subjects, and the children did not receive systematic English education. He Feng is responsible for the English professors in the third and sixth grades. Many sixth grade students do not even understand the conversion of English letters in the upper and lowercase letters.
In order to help children make up for their learning progress, He Feng decided that in addition to providing centralized tutoring for the children after school in the afternoon, he also needed to do half a day of tutoring on the weekend. “After the tutoring every day, I had to cross mountains and rivers to send my children home. With the night, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and it is particularly slippery. “He Feng recalled that when he returned to the school dormitory, it was often late at night.
Children in the mountainous area have weak English speaking foundation, and mobilizing their enthusiasm for learning is the top priority. He Feng used English songs, games, and animations in class to attract the attention of students Babaylan and encouraged the children to speak English loudly. He said that learning oral language is only one of the purposes, and more importantly, to enhance their self-confidence.
After a year, unremitting efforts finally gained. “What’s happiest is that the average English score of the third grade taught in this final exam is 86 points, and among the 28 schools in the township, I suddenly felt that all the hardships were worth it! “He Feng said that what made him most gratified was that the children worked very hard. “Teacher, I like Babaylan to take English classes the most. Why do I feel that the English class is over so soon? “Teacher, I can recite the words in the third unit, I will write them for you to read. ”Cinema“The bell rang after class, teacher, please tell me a few more questions! “Goodbye, Mr He”
Looking at the students’ faces filled with happiness and their eager eyes, He Fengxin is hard to part with.
Teaching “wisdom” and building “ambition”
In Cenbang Village, most young and strong laborers choose to go out to work, and most of their children stay at home and are taken care of by the elderly, and most of them are in poor families. He Feng realized that after-school education for students studying in this environment is scarce. To this end, he arranged a task for himself – a home visit during his class and tutoring.
“Xiaolong is a child with both good character and academic performance. His parents work in Guangdong. He and his grandmother depend on each other for life. His grandmother has a lot of farm work and cannot take care of her.” He Feng actively visited his home every week and shared the interesting stories about his children at school with his elders in his family.
The parents of another student, “Xiao Shitou”, have divorced, and grandmother and three siblings are also left behind in the countryside. “Looking at the three siblings in ragged clothes, I borrowed a motorcycle and went down the mountain to the town clothing store to buy a set of clothes for each of the three siblings. The two sisters wore white gauze skirts, and I suddenly felt that they were the most beautiful princesses!” He Feng said.
Every time after school, He Feng would take “Little Stone” to his room and ask him to finish his homework before going home. Every time he takes the exam, as long as the “Little Stone” makes a little progress, He Feng will praise and reward him in his class. In the sixth unit exam, “Little Stone” scored 82 points, and He Feng felt joy that he had never felt before. Other subject teachers asked him why “Little Stone” English can improve so much? He Feng said that there is no trick, it is to give more encouragement and affirmation.
“My ideal when I grew up was to go up the mountain to cut trees, and I could earn more than 100 yuan a day.” This was a leader retelling the words of a mountain child at a mobilization meeting for a teaching support. After hearing this, He Feng felt like a thorn in his throat. He knew very well that while teaching “wisdom”, we should also establish “ambition”. Teaching should not only bring knowledge, but also set ambition for children.
CinemaIn fact, He Feng, who grew up in Meizhou, Guangdong, was also a “straight kid”. Through his personal experience, he kept telling the children of Cenbang Primary School the importance of self-reliance and independence. He hoped that they could know that only studying can change their destiny, get out of the mountains, and be able to develop their hometown in the future, thereby blocking the poverty generation.Only by passing on can we revitalize the countryside have hope.
The song sang Cenbang Village
When in Guangzhou, He Feng was the backbone of the unit, and his loud singing could be heard everywhere he went. When colleagues talked about him, they said, “Where there is his songs, there is laughter, which is full of positive energy.” When he went to Cenbang Village, he also brought this hobby and specialty to the fullest.
In the mouth of the people of Cinema, He Feng is their singer and spiritual food. This teaching policeman from Guangzhou has become a close friend of the local people and has become a close friend of Cinema. Every weekend, whenever He Feng has time, he would go to the village’s drum tower – Dong ethnic activity venue, chat and play chess with the elderly, and organize the elderly to form a red song choir, and the red songs resounded throughout the village of Cenbang.
He Feng also loves photography. On the weekend, he picked up his camera. As soon as he saw the elderly and children, he captured the most beautiful moments of photography for them, and washed out the photos and gave them to them. The villagers of Cenbang Village praised everyone, and a small singer and photographer came to the village, enriching the villagers’ cultural life.
In June 2021, He Feng used his director to carefully host and plan the “Red Song Dedicated to the Party” Children’s Day Art Gala at Cenbang Primary School. During this period, he used the TikTok live broadcast event for the first time, so that parents who were working far away could see their children’s excitement on the stage. On the day of the party, almost all the people in the village brought small stools to the venue early to waitKomiksWhen He Feng sang a series of red revolutionary songs such as “Singing a Mountain Song to the Party”, the atmosphere once reached its climax.
The road to rural revitalization is full of fragrance
Only trees can’t be formed, and on the road to education and poverty alleviation, a person’s strength is weak. In order to make more people pay attention to children in the mountainous areas, He Feng used his spare time to write his experiences during the teaching process into touching teaching diaries such as “Caring for left-behind children, you and I are here” and “As long as everyone gives a little love”, and published it on social media, calling on enthusiastic people from all walks of life and relatives and friends around him to actively donate money and materials.
Luckily, his call was answered. Over the past year, many companies from Guangzhou, Dongguan, Shenzhen and other places have donated about 50,000 yuan in funds and materials to Cenbang Primary School, and various books have been mailed from all directions. With his matchmaking, more and more kind-hearted people learned that in the distant village of Cinema, there is a group of children who need knowledge.
He Feng told reporters that a person’s power is limited. The original intention of posting teaching experiences through his circle of friends is to give me a souvenir of his teaching life. He also hopes to use this to call on the society to provide more assistance to Sanjiang County’s education and rural left-behind children. “This teaching experience will leave me with unforgettable memories for a lifetime.”
