A few days ago, I learned that the two social practice focus teams of the summer have received excellent grades, which is congratulatory. By coincidence, both teams I participated in them, in a special capacity - accompanying reporter.
Sounds very lofty work, bring me, but endless pressure, the reason is very simple, in front of the crowd said the news, speak interview, do the reporter some of the class, especially those in the eyes of the connoisseur, I'm only suitable for a hilarious.
I have long wanted to go to the West, experience life, when I learned of the election, I still hesitate. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey.
High school has a good bit of writing skills, plus like with a sense of justice and sense of responsibility of the profession, choose to reporter this line of work, I did not expect, engaged in can. I know that my strength is not as good as my regular classmates, but I have to give it a try, and this is one of my goals, and the result is "in the line".
Many times, I always say, I like this profession, like it brings me joy and sorrow, I am willing to put my time and energy on it. Because of love, so love. The results of the efforts will eventually be able to be equated with the results obtained, at the very least I think so. But there are also losses, the second semester of freshman year, due to a long time of irregular diet, chronic gastroenteritis once tightly wrapped around me, endless diarrhea, really can't I don't eat, water also don't drink. Eventually did not fight the disease to the end, nearly two weeks of rest and recuperation time, put down the beloved "work", a normal life, three meals a day, get up early and come home late, a long time to feel this life.
I also spent a good deal of effort in running for a reporter, and one by one, I excluded the "enemies" who ran for a piece of the campaign with me. In my heart, "nine out of ten" this four words for the first time to experience, but because of their own experience and experience is relatively small and a little nervous, after all, do not have much experience.
During the interview, Ms. Levy asked me a question, what is the purpose of your going to the west, I was only a few words to say a few words, I think, certainly not the answer that Ms. Levy wants, but that is the answer I have been thinking about for a long time, and now I think of it, a little na?ve and childish, because it's hard to say the answer without going to the west.
Listening to the words "the west is the memory of your life", humming Wanting's "nothing different", hanging the camera around his neck, finally stepped on the train to the west, my identity, is a record, communicator, witness, The first time I saw this, it was a very good time for me to go back to the office.
Previously, contacting the media was a hassle, but through a variety of relationship chains, municipal, provincial, and national media have been contacted, and the media are willing to open a column for us to make a special web page, I feel that for the voluntary public welfare, many news media are "all the way through", giving a "green card". "The first thing I'd like to do is to get the chance to see what I'm talking about, and I'd like to do that.
My work plan is well organized, what to do in the first week, what to do in the second week, what news points to collect, what material to collect. The best thing is that Mr. Dong Qiang has also opened a series of columns on the home page of the campus website for the 2014 "Fire and Sunshine in the West", and I never thought that I would write 20 articles, 21,000 words, for the 30 days of the teaching life. The first thing you need to do is to take the camera with you from the Youth League Committee and set off on the journey to the West.
Along the way, the camera kept "clicking", leaving a lot of moving moments, ten of us from the election to the re-examination, from the icebreaker to the training, from strangers to acquaintance, each other also produced a tacit understanding, to him to a, to him to a has become a habit, because, I am doing this.
The journey to Longnan took more than 20 hours, a variety of regional flavors passed by me, a variety of things happened to me, as a reporter accompanying, I witnessed, but also recorded as such.
Still on the way to Longnan in Tianshui City, Wan Shanzhao from Huaibei Daily sent me a text message, saying that our manuscript for going to the west has been posted on the front page of the People's Daily and the second page of Anhui Daily, which is good news and an open door for the next 30 days, and the journey is full of hope.
When we arrived at the local area, it was not poorer than we had imagined, but it was not rich either. The children of the village, still as simple as ever, ran over and surrounded the car to greet the new teachers.
From the first time Zhao Shixiong came to this place in 2010, this year is the fourth consecutive year that we have been to Xueji Primary School in Xieji Village, Luhe Township, Xiho County, Longnan, Gansu Province to teach, and there are quite a lot of veterans, Xue Fulai, Xue Yuhuan, Xue Tianjing, Xue Xue, Xue Hao, Xue Jiang, one after another, familiar faces in the photos, appeared in front of them. And the senior brothers and sisters to us described a Xueji village situation, but the spirit is true. Severe water shortages, three climates a day, living far from the school, bathing once a week, eating potatoes every day, have been for reality.
In the west, 10 of us live a joyful life, Xiaoqi and Zihan's joining, so that our team added a joy, uncle and nephew all day tossing and turning, little Zihan has become our happy fruit.
In the days of the west, nine members have become good comrades and good partners in life.
Boss, big brother, Zhang Lei, our physical education teacher. In my heart, the eternal big brother. As expected, a muscle mass is not practiced for nothing, there to take up the most dirty and tiring work, he is our security member, responsible for the statement of the entire team and property safety, as well as my dinner guy - "camera". The big brother divided into seven and Zihan a house, he is the last to sleep every day, writing lesson plans, lesson planning, and cooking instant noodles are delayed sleep reasons, security committee, are all the people go to bed before going to sleep, to protect the safety of everyone. Not many boys in the west, and I was lazy, to write news for the reason of less playing a lot of water, these, are bashful and big brother, and then add a piece of the burden of the seven, like to take pictures of big brother peeling potatoes posture, as well as standing next to see him teach children to play martial arts, think every day class, big brother will lead the class, to protect the safety of everyone, the oldest in the means to take more responsibility, hard work and complaining, the biggest in the inside. Forever and ever is our big brother.
Chen Chen sister, the team's big sister, the seniority of the oldest fire people, junior finally dreamed of the West. She has prepared a lot of things, hope to bring the children in the west, not only knowledge. I like to listen to Ms. Chenchen's lectures. Although I'm not good at English, she teaches the children a lot of extracurricular knowledge, as well as carefully prepared "Xueji outside the world". After class, Ms. Chenchen prepared a lot of materials, and she became my "assistant", carrying a camera to take pictures as a side business, and took a lot of very good pictures. For me, Sister Chenchen is always a lesson, my little tricks in front of Sister Chenchen a hand can be recognized, she is a dedicated and responsible sister. Life and work to us played a leading role, so that we have a direction to move forward, in cooking and steamed buns is also first-class.
Cherry, full name Tian Chen Cherry, very foreign name. The support language teacher, southern people ah, to the children to bring the knowledge of the Jiangnan water town, as well as traditional Chinese culture. Nothing when the cherry on the small dorky, became the best playmate, like to shoot cherry sitting on the steps and the children a play and nagging look, cherry on the language class is very love to listen to the College of Arts and Letters of the senior, is one of my very respect for the support teachers. Quiet girl cooking is also very good, as a language teacher she was forced to arrange a traditional culture course, Han etiquette, Sakurako very laborious to find materials and pictures, the end result is welcome, the classroom atmosphere is very active, and the students also very much like her class, can learn a lot of extracurricular knowledge.
Zhang Ruoquan, math teacher. My good partner and nemesis, neither one of them can look at the other, and both of them are trying their best to troll each other. The unique selfie queen in my heart, taking up photos is simply can't stop ah. That said, her Meitu cell phone is really, really good oh. The two of us created a lot of joy in the west. Although I do not like math, also not willing to go to listen to her class, so her classroom photos are very few, but a put up cartoons that is crowded. It's a godsend that we were assigned to cook together, and I'll be damned if I'm going to make a meal that's going to be anything but torturous. Big tall man with long legs, the highest altitude of our team, it is true to its name. In the team or accounting, very senior work, the heart forever long legs, forever selfie queen.
Yuanfeng, Xu Yuanfeng, team leader, art teacher, love to laugh at the king of children. Inherited the good qualities of last year's Le Wei sister, and many children mingled, beautiful dance, gorgeous dance, all let a person's mind fascinated. Yuanfeng is one of the teachers who has been in my camera a lot. The reason is simple: she likes to steal the show. Yuanfeng teaches the older children in the western class how to dance, a rumba that starts out dry and then works very well when set to music. As the person in charge of teaching, she also nagged us a lot, but of course, for me, a reporter who was often lazy, it was most often, and the only chance for me to redeem myself was to take pictures of her, massively. And that every night of the square dance, and the big moms a piece of joyful look, really let me mind ah, excellent dancer.
bashful, Zhan Zhao Hua, physical education teacher, from the beauty school out of the physical education teacher. In sports, especially on the ball skills bashfulness is one of the few, in the Mingde Primary School as the person in charge of more experience in teaching, in the West to lead the children to play basketball is no better candidate, and he is a small class teacher, but also very patient to teach the children. Shame is also one of my assistants, often we go out to pick up the wind as my accompanying reporter, for me to leave a lot of precious images, in life Shame is also a very optimistic person, but also has the principle, especially in the west to the family when the phone call, a mouthful of fluent and understandable jiangxi came, that is simply more difficult to understand than the English language. In the west the two of us also became a joyful comedic duo, releasing poisonous gas in the studio to prove our existence, and I'm afraid it's also the most disliked duo.
Old Bi, Bi Grandpa, Bi Qingzhao, the art teacher, is also the leader. Since An Zhiquan, another boy who went to the west to teach for two consecutive years, this time it is different, as the leader to the west, the significance and responsibility is very great. Every student who goes to the West is the pride of the Academy of Fine Arts, because this trip to the West was the most in history, with three students from the Academy among the teaching team. Lao Bi has a lot to worry about, from the big and the county Red Cross and the village secretary of the communication, the small road every meeting, every detail must be instructed to understand, the mission trip is going very well, Lao Bi bear the brunt of last year's experience so that this year's work is carried out more perfect. Every time I think of Lao Bi was forced by me to go to the end of the road, he always eat to eat to dissolve the heart of the melancholy, in the west of the days without network, I countless times with his cell phone traffic to the outside news media to send press releases and photographs, he did not complain, and finally completed the network to dredge up the faults, and succeeded in saving a reporter accompanying. Lao Bi's cooking is very good, especially the potatoes, the first time in the west steamed buns is his masterpiece, so good.
Jiang Li, Little Flower. Since last year's missionary, Ms. Jin Hui, was named "Dahua" sister, the little flower was born again. As the team's music teacher, she plays, sings, and leads the middle school dance class. Jiang Li is one of the most popular teachers in the west, because, Jiang Li more like children, to give them a little longer together, in the recruitment of new students on the first day, Jiang Li called me dragged over to sit on the stool to take a set of photos to play the erhu, but also for us to dedicate a traditional culture class, to the children to explain a lot of musical instruments, especially when she and her big brother as a partner to lead the intermediate class, the cooperation is seamless, and the two of them in the partner cooking, and also the two of them to lead the middle class. There was also the awkwardness of the two of them cooking as partners. The children love Ms. Jiang Li's singing voice, and she is famous for her song "The Most Beautiful Light" which is popular in Xueji.
Yuan Yuan, Fang Yuan Yuan, a music teacher, also known as Kai Nai Ji. Because the screen name is next door to the Carnegie and famous team, is also the youngest teacher in the western mission team. Don't look small, they are the cream of the crop, singing, dancing everything, and making so many potato feasts in the west, and partnering with Bashful to manage the toughest small class and working seamlessly together. The two of us are also rivals, I called her "Carnegie", she called me "Zhou Hei Duck", often bickering is reasonable thing, with a small group of children dancing is her most tormented time, the children are not easy to manage, not as easy as to teach the big moms dancing square dance, both time and effort.
This is the first time I've ever seen a child with a high school diploma, and I've never seen a child with a high school diploma.
Xiaoqi and Zihan, our comrades in arms, the two of them are an unknown combination, but also a scenic line on the western trip. Day and night without rest to teach Zi Han's scene is still vivid in my mind. Xiaoqi's strong muscles have also become the focus of the daily development of water, for our trip to the west to share a lot of physical work, but also received thousands of girls adored and sought after, a fluent Huaibei language throughout the teaching. Zihan in the middle class is also a troublemaker, and another small Zihan also endless bullying, face and stomach fat still let us remember.
And I, a reporter who acted as a "comedian", changing various expressions and roles to be active in the middle of the teaching team, was always the one who was disliked. In the days of the west, contacting the media and sending out articles became the biggest headache, there is no local network, Shame and old Bi's cell phone became my tool to get through to the outside world. My dream of endlessly urging Bi to find a way to install internet finally came true in the third week. My work was almost paralyzed without the network, and I was required to write more than 1,000 words every time I wrote a manuscript, and I had to have a backup copy of the manuscript. A lot of thematic activities and reports were planned, or thanks to the efforts and dedication of Lao Bi and everyone else, as well as the strong support for my work.
Sometimes, I am very grateful to every member of the teaching team they have been a great help to me as a special identity of the team members, time and again, planning to make them very tired, very hard, but also very annoying, but all understand my requirements and the need to work, so that I successfully completed the task, handed over a complete answer sheet.
In the west of the first day, there are not many children around, no more laughter in the classroom, no more time to accompany everyone. Alone in the house to catch up with the appearance of always reflected in everyone's mind, I will not only catch up with the manuscript, take pictures, because, that is my job, out of their own stressful situation must do so, I can make their own peace of mind.
The days in the west, really exercise my writing and photography level, but I also lost more time and opportunity to communicate with the children to play, the west has brought me a lot, I also experienced a lot of let me harvest friendship, ten best friends, we *** with the public welfare dream, in the summer of 2014, belonging to the "salary fire sunshine action group". "In the summer of 2014, we did something unforgettable in Longnan, Gansu Province, the light of love to Longnan, praise for youth.
At the end of the mission, I understand the meaning of the mission, the western public welfare is not to bring more things to the children, we are not the savior, the western mission is more to bring their own harvest and touched, to be able to harvest in the western public welfare in the spirit of practice and public welfare, which in itself is a kind of growth, and also the starting point of the craft. This may be the answer that Ms. Le Wei wanted to hear before the mission trip!
