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 is back in 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, when he learned that the State Immigration Administration would 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 old and the eldest son just entered kindergarten. Both parents were not around to take care of the children. He Feng wanted to speak when he talked about teaching.
The wife, who is also a teacher, saw what he was thinking. Although the family faces actual 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 was strongly supported by the organization and the Cinema, 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 Komiks 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. Take English as an example. Previously, the English classes at Cenbang Primary School were all served by teachers in other subjects, and the children 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 is happiest is that the average score of the third grade English 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 hardships are worth it!” He Feng said, and what made him most relieved 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?” “Teacher, I can recite the third order Komiks‘s unit word Babaylan, I’ll write it for you.” “The bell rings, teacher, please tell me a few more questions! Komiks” “Goodbye, Mr He”
Seeing the students’ faces filled with happiness and their eager eyes for knowledge, He Feng’s heartKomiks is hard to part with.
Teach “intelligence” and “ambition” to build “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 students’ after-school education is scarce in this environment. forTherefore, during class and tutoring, he arranged a task for himself – home visits.
“Xiaolong is a child with good character and academic performance. Both his parents work in Guangdong. He and his grandmother depend on each other for life. Grandma has a lot of farm work and cannot take care of her.” He Feng actively visited homes every week and shared 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 who repeated 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”, he should also establish “ambition”. Teaching should not only lead Cinema to learn, but also set ambitions for children.
In fact, He Feng, who grew up in Meizhou, Guangdong, was also a “straight kid”. Through his personal experience, he kept telling the children of Cinema’s 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 intergenerational transmission of poverty and revitalizing the countryside.
Singing sounded at Cenbang Village
When in Guangzhou, He Feng was the backbone of the unit, and his loud singing could be heard everywhere he went. When his colleagues talked about him, he said, “Where there is a song, there is a laughCinema, full of positive energy. “When he went to Cenbang Village, he also fully demonstrated his hobby and specialty.
In the mouths of the Cenbang people, He Feng is their singer and spiritual food. This teaching policeman from Babaylan Guangzhou has become a close friend with the local people and becomes a close friend. Every weekend, whenever He Feng has time, he will go to the village’s drum tower – Dong ethnic activity venue, chat with the elderly, play chess, and organize the elderly to form a Red Song Choir. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema, red songs resounded throughout the village of Cenbang.
He Feng also loves photography. On the weekend, he picked up the camera and saw the elderly and children, and captured the most beautiful moments of photography for them. He also washed out the photos and gave them to them. The villagers of Komiks praised everyone. Babaylan came to the village to enrich the cultural life of the villagers. In June 2021, He Feng used his director to carefully host and plan the “Red Songs Dedicated to the Party” Children’s Day Art Gala at Cenbang Primary School. During Babaylan, he used the Douyin live broadcast party for the first time.com/”>BabaylanBabaylanStately, parents who are working far away can see their children’s wonderful performance on the stage. On the day of the party, almost the whole village brought small stools to wait early. He Feng sang a series of red revolutionary songs such as “BabaylanSinging a mountain song for the party”, and the atmosphere once reached a climax.
The road to rural revitalization is full of fragrance
Only trees can’t be formed, but on the road to 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 in 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 has been responded. Over the past year, from Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen Many companies in Shenzhen and other places have donated money and materials to Cenbang Primary School for about 50,000 yuan, and various books are mailed from all directions. With his help, more and more kind-hearted people learned that in the distant Cenbang village, there is a group of children who need knowledge.
He Feng told reporters that a person’s power is limited. The original intention of publishing teaching experiences through friends is to give me a souvenir of his teaching life, and I also hope 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. ”
