According to Sha Zengsen, principal of Zhouzhuang Senior High School, Zhouzhuang Senior High School is the only high school in the province to be listed as a "national traditional sports professional student base". In September this year, Wuhan Sports Institute, Nanjing Sports Institute will come to Xing for Zhouzhuang Senior High School license.
A lucky coincidence
In the medal ceremony, the school tai chi team performed tai chi "clouds and water" won the warmest applause on the scene, it is reported that in August this year, the tai chi team will go to Ningbo to participate in the opening ceremony of the Youth Olympic Games performance.
"I was able to participate in the opening performance of the Youth Olympic Games thanks to the coach of our wushu class -- national-level referee Mr. Gu Jianguo." Sha Zengsen said, "Because Mr. Gu often participate in the refereeing work of national-level wushu competitions, so he knows more about the activities in wushu, through his introduction, the Youth Olympic Games Organizing Committee knows our school's characteristics of the school program, because we are from the rural general high school characteristics of the class, more representative, so at the end of April of this year, the Youth Olympic Games Organizing Committee sent to our school invitation."
Once the invitation was received, from the school leadership to the wushu class teachers as well as students have attached great importance to immediately organizing the shooting of collective performance video transmitted to the Youth Olympic Games Organizing Committee. Time is fast, May 10 Youth Olympic Games Organizing Committee officially notified the Taizhou Municipal Sports Bureau: "Zhouzhuang Senior High School Wushu class will participate in the opening performance of the Youth Olympic Games, the performance content for the taijiquan as well as nunchucks (for Jay Chou's "nunchucks" accompanied by dance)." The 30 students who will participate in the performance have been practicing intensively every day before morning reading and after evening study, with intensive rehearsals during the summer vacation, and will also go to Ning for 10 days of intensive training in August.
"After hearing the news that they were confirmed to participate in the opening performance of the Youth Olympic Games, the students went 'crazy' and have been sharing their happiness with their friends through microblogging and WeChat. Of course, in addition to happiness there is some pressure, I always say to them that now is not the time to be happy, wait until we return triumphantly from Nanjing to be truly happy." Wushu class instructor Ling Li said to the reporter with a smile, "To be honest, when I first took over this class I was full of confidence but had a lot of worries, because I myself have been practicing wushu since I was a child, and they are just starting out now, their body's flexibility is not good, and they need to put in more effort. Most of them were rather scattered at the beginning, and after a period of discipline as well as professional practice, many of the students now have their own goals in mind. This opportunity is a great education for the kids and gives them confidence in themselves. The sense of pride and honor will give them more vision for the future."
B Honor makes them grow up overnight
It's only three months from the notification to the official performance, which is a lot of pressure for the teachers and students of the martial arts class, which was formed just last year. Fortunately, those once cynical children seem to have grown up overnight, they know the responsibility on their shoulders, they have learned to withstand the pressure, so every morning at 5:30 a.m. to get up, go to bed at 10:00 p.m., in addition to the class is to train, none of them complained about the pain and fatigue. They compare each other to see whose flexibility is better and whose movements are more on point, and everyone works hard to make their movements more accurate.
Wang Yangjun is a national second-grade athlete and the captain of the performance team that went to Ningxia. "At first I thought learning wushu should not be difficult for me, who is already a national second-class athlete, but the result is what I never expected, the most basic ligament pulling makes me suffer a lot. Because I was the captain, I was anxious to see some players doing well in splitting the legs, every day, in addition to collective practice, I also practiced in private, because of the rush, my ligaments were strained, and every step hurt, and it hurt even more when I slept on the bed, which seriously affected my sleep. Mr. Ling told me to reduce the amount of exercise or the situation would get worse, I didn't believe him at first and practiced secretly, then the pain was so bad that there was no way to continue, and it lasted for more than half a month before it got better." Wang Yangjun is a shy and introverted child, in addition to good physical fitness is more important is the kind of fighting spirit in him, because of his strict requirements for their own, so his classmates are very convinced of him. When he learned that he would participate in the opening performance of the Youth Olympic Games, at first he did not believe it, because the teacher has been practicing for more than ten years have not encountered such an opportunity. Confirmation of the authenticity of the news after the excitement is inevitable, and after the excitement of this understanding of the child more introspection, he constantly examined himself and found his own shortcomings. "In fact, as the captain, I'm still a little ashamed, because there are many places where other players have surpassed me, flexibility is my weak point, taijiquan is still missing some of the divine charm, I still have a lot to work on." Wang Yangjun whispered with his head down.
"At the beginning of the training, the students are with the play like, every day there is always endless words, time slowly long, the teacher teaches more things, training pressure, we are tired do not want to talk. Teachers joked that 'boys should practice as animals, girls should practice as boys', in fact, it is to tell us that we must be able to bear the pain, and I never think of myself as a girl." A head of neat short hair, smile a little sweet but has a boyish character of Zhang Yu said.
When enrolling in a special class, her friends all enrolled in art classes, and Zhang Yu unexpectedly chose a martial arts class, her mother was surprised, after listening to her explanation, her mother said only one sentence: "If you like, go do it, but do it well, do not let yourself regret." Like most of the students in the martial arts class, at first they all thought it was just for fun, who knew that inhuman training without strong perseverance completely unable to persevere. Zhang Yu did not complain, because her mother told her that the path she chose, no matter how hard it is, she has to stick to it.
Knowing that will participate in the opening performance of the Youth Olympic Games, Zhang Yu's first feeling is the pressure, she always felt that she was not good enough, so it is to step up practice, in order to improve endurance, in addition to the normal training of 10 laps of the 400M runway every day, she sometimes also for their own "meal"; in order to improve the jumping power, she practiced every day, jumping from one break to another, from jumping one break to another, from jumping one break to another, from jumping one break to another.
"Little Ma" - Ma Wenjie is a headache for teachers. But in the eyes of Mr. Ling Li, this child is a talent that can be made, because his physical fitness is very good, although naughty but very flexible mind. "In the beginning, I just want to come in and have fun, my first time in physical education class, the teacher took a liking to me, want me to practice better, I don't know why he took a liking to me. My parents always educate me, the teacher also educate me, anyway, I don't listen." Ma Wenjie some mischievous said, "Later, through the teacher's introduction I know the significance of this class, I used to think that the university is very far away from me, and now I know that there is hope to go to the university, I practiced good sports at the same time and then put more effort to improve the cultural achievements. The chances of going to college increase a lot by getting into this class, so I'm eager to put up a fight."
The dark-skinned, not-too-tall kid is honest, and it's clear from the conversation that he's actually a kid with a lot of ideas, a quick mind, and a sense of judgment. His initial cynicism may have been a broken mind, but give him a little hope and he'll put his best foot forward.
C Special education adds hope
According to the State Council's decision to vigorously develop vocational education and the spirit of the Ministry of Education's reform of the college entrance examination, half of the nation's undergraduate colleges and universities will have to be transformed into skill-based colleges and universities in the future, and from the new senior high school in 2014, the new college entrance examination will be divided into an academic and a skill-based college entrance examination. From the new high school in 2014, the new college entrance examination will be divided into "academic" and "skill-based" two kinds of college entrance examination, and the skill-based college entrance examination may be the academic level test and skills. Zhouzhuang senior high school school leadership far-sighted, according to the students' cultural foundation, interest and strengths, the implementation of classified classes, organized Qidong class, media choreography class, art and photography class, martial arts class, sports class and other special classes.
Special education shine, last year the literature club Zhu Lei students won the first prize of the National New Concept Composition Competition, authored a number of full-length novels, and became a number of magazines contracted writers; this year, 36 students in the senior art class 32 students achieved undergraduate professional qualification certificate, senior choreography class 27 students 23 students achieved undergraduate professional qualification certificate, of which a few students have also achieved the focus of the first college qualification certificate, 11 students majoring in physical education, and the first class in the media, photography, martial arts, sports and other special classes. The 11 students majoring in physical education all passed the undergraduate line.
The opening performance of the Youth Olympic Games is just last year, the formation of the national traditional sports class, the profession has a great future, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education has made it clear that the national traditional sports as an elementary school, junior high school physical education class compulsory project, the province is in urgent need of teachers in this area, and at present, very few secondary school students to learn wushu, so Zhouzhuang Senior High School of the national traditional physical education class of the students have become a major college and university "meat and potatoes". "meat and potatoes", the major colleges and universities have extended the olive branch, Zhouzhuang Senior High School set up as a student base.
"The eagle has the eagle's sky, the sparrow has the sparrow's happiness, our ideal is to let each of our little sparrow can grow up healthily and happily, can find their own piece of woods." Sha Zengsen said.
Reporter's Notes
Education is always the most concerned topic for all people, and the struggle of every family is almost always for their children to have a bright future. But each child's talent is not the same, in that thousands of people fighting to be the first to pass the one-way bridge how to play advantage for their own open up a path, is the students, parents and teachers have to consider.
The quality of Zhouzhuang Senior High School students is a bit different from some of the major high schools because of the student population, but they have finally found their way to the ivory tower. This path is not a shortcut, and even requires teachers and students to put in more effort, but neither school leaders, teachers nor students have given up.
Back to the place where I used to work, my heart is doubly close to the school, teachers and students have a kind of inexplicable feelings. The conversation with the three students is very pleasant, they have distinctive personalities, everyone has strengths, everyone also has some shortcomings. But the biggest thing they have in common is that their young faces are full of infinite hope for the future, as well as the firm belief that they will not bow down in the face of difficulties. In fact, with hope, courage, and perseverance, what else can't be done? The teaching mode of special classes provides students with a greater chance of getting a ticket to university, and the spirit of suffering that is not afraid to suffer, to get up wherever they fall down, to maintain a positive state of mind and perseverance no matter when, is the most valuable. Because of this even if it is a small grass to strive to grow into a big tree strength, they will eventually find a piece of heaven and earth belonging to themselves.
