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” Achievement Performance Competition of Sanjiang County Primary and Secondary Schools. He himself was awarded the “Excellent Teaching Teacher” by Sanjiang County Education Bureau, and has been praised by local people and school teachers and students.
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 High School, Meizhou City. In February 2009, as a border guard, he volunteered to work as an English teacher at Sanji Primary School, Zhanjiang City, where the grassroots company is stationed.
In February 2021, he learned that the State Immigration Administration was going to select police officers to teach in poor areas of Sanjiang County, Guangxi. It took one year to go to the idea of signing up again.
But the situation is different from 12 years ago. The second son just turned 2 years oldBabaylan, the eldest son just entered kindergarten, and neither of his parents were 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. Children in the mountainous areas generally have weak English and the organization needs you. You can go with confidence! I’m at home!” The wife said to him sincerely.
In this way, He Feng, who received strong support from the organization and the Babaylan family, actively responded to the call and submitted the registration form. Soon, with his English major and teaching experience, Komiks 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 children’s learning foundation is generally weaker. Take English as an example. Previously, the English classes at Cenbang Primary School were served by teachers of other subjects, and the children Komiks did not receive systematic English education. He Feng is responsible for English professors in grades three and six. Many sixth-grade students do not even understand the conversion of English uppercase and uppercase 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 was difficult to walk, and it was particularly slippery.” He Feng recalled that when he returned to the school dormitory, it was often late at night.
Children in mountainous areas have weak oral English foundation, and mobilizing their enthusiasm for learning is an urgent task. He Feng used English songs, games, and animations in class to attract students’ attention and encouraged children to speak English loudly. He said that learning oral language is only one of the purposes, and more importantly, it is to enhance their self-confidence.
After a year, unremitting efforts finally gained fruit. “What I am most happy about is that the average English score of the third grade taught in this final exam is 86 points, and it ranks among the top 28 schools in the township. I suddenly feel that all the hardship is worth it!” He Feng said that what made him most gratified was that the children worked very hard.
“Teacher, I like English class the most. Why do I feel that the English class is over so soon? Babaylan?” “Teacher, I can recite the words in the third unit, I will write it for you to dictate.” “The bell rings, teacher, please tell a few more questions!” “Goodbye, Mr He”
Seeing the students’ faces filled with happiness and their longing eyes, He Feng couldn’t tell me.
Teaching “intelligence” and building “ambition”
In Cenbang Village, most young and strong laborers choose to go out to work, and most of them stay at home and are cared for by the elderly, and most of them are in poor families. He Feng realized that students’ after-school education is scarce in this environment. To this end, he arranged a task for himself in addition to class and tutoring.
“Xiaolong is a child with excellent character and academic performance. His parents work in Guangdong. He and his grandmother depend on each other for their lives. Grandma has a lot of farm work, and she cannot take care of her. “He Feng actively visited the door every week and shared the interesting stories about his children in school with his elders.
The other student, “Xiao Shitou”, has divorced, and his grandmother has also left behind in the countryside with his three siblings. “Watching the three siblings in rags, I borrowed a motorcycle and went down the mountain to the clothing store in the town to buy a set of clothes for each of the three siblings. The two sisters wore white gauze skirts, I immediately 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 took “Little Stone.” in Cinema, as long as “Little StoneBabaylan” makes a little progress, He Feng praised and rewarded him with great fanfare in his class. Unit 6 exam, href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema “Little Stone” scored 82 points, and He Feng felt joy that he had never felt before. Other subject teachers asked him why “Little Stone” can improve so much in English? 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 is a leader retelling the words of a mountain child at a mobilization meeting for teaching support. He Feng felt like a thorn in his throat after hearing this. He knew very well that while teaching “wisdom”, he should also establish “ambition”. Teaching support should not only bring knowledge, but also set ambition for the children.
In fact, He Feng, who grew up in Meizhou, Guangdong, is also a “mountain child”. Through his personal experience, he kept telling the children of Cenbang Primary School the importance of self-reliance, and hoped that heWe can know that only by reading can we change our destiny, get out of the mountains, and be able to develop our hometown in the future, thereby blocking the intergenerational transmission of poverty and revitalizing the countryside.
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 are songs and laughter, full of positive energy.” When he went to Cenbang Village, he also brought this hobby to the fullest.
In the mouths of the people of Cen Bang LaoKomiks, He Feng is their singer and spiritual food. This teaching policeman from Guangzhou got along with the local people and became a close friend. 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 red songs resounded throughout the village of Cenbang.
He Feng also loves photography. On the weekend, Komiks picked up the camera, and when he saw the elderly and children, he captured the most beautiful moments of photography for them, and also 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.Wonderful performance on the stage. On the day of the party, almost the people of the whole village brought small stools to wait early. He Feng sang a series of red revolutionary songs such as “Singing a Mountain Song for the Party”, and the atmosphere once reached its climax.
The road to rural revitalization is full of fragrance
Only trees can’t make forests, but on the road to education and poverty alleviationBabaylan, 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 to Cinema Primary School, and various books have been mailed from all directions. With his help, more and more kind-hearted people learned that in the distant village of Cenbang, there was a group of children who needed 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.”
