11990, acquaintance on the muddy road
Time back 27 years, it was 1990 after the summer vacation, I rose to junior high school, Nanshan Middle School, the original seems to be called the five seven middle school, should be associated with the "five seven dry school", the specific is really not certified. I rode a big 28 bicycle in that era, walking on the road, the day just after a heavy rain, that time to the school is not asphalt, I was difficult in the mud road through, every walk a small section have to stop with a small stick to pick off the mud, so that the car can continue to move forward, encountered puddles and also lift the car, walk through.
Because of the small size and small strength, I was struggling to turn from the mud road to the small meadow (the kind of field paths full of grass), I was using a small stick to pull out the mud stuffed in the bike mud tile while I felt very helpless and desperate to go to school and was afraid of being late for school, I was aggrieved and crying ....... At this time, from behind me came a young teacher, he also rode a bicycle, looks no easier than me, he then said some words of encouragement to me, and so we embarked on the road to school ......
2 My language class
Later I realized that he was our language teacher ah, his original home in our district, just graduated from the teacher's college soon to be assigned to our school, our school is about 15 kilometers away from the X-city, that day he walked all the way to the quite difficult. In this way, my three years of junior high school language classes began under Mr. Yin's leadership. I remember the first text is "a precious shirt", just now in the group of students asked about everyone is not sure, time is too far away, 27 years, it is really difficult to remember.
Just from a village elementary school to the village junior high school, so many places are curious, to the new school and teachers are also a kind of novelty to observe. Our teacher is really different from our elementary school language teacher. His lectures were very lively, and he always prepared the background of the article and a brief introduction of the author before class, and narrated it for us. I remember very clearly that he said the author's age was the year of his death minus the year of his birth plus one. His way of assigning homework was also very special, letting us assign homework to ourselves. (I recalled the time when I was in elementary school and was ordered by the teacher to make up the writing on the flower garden because I had not finished my language homework.)
This is the first time I've ever seen a student in the world who has been in the same boat as me, and I'm not sure if I've ever been in the same boat as you.
Of course, the general homework is nothing, he is the most important is our composition, I remember sometimes leave a class for us to complete an exercise, I like to listen to his review of our compositions, the review of the time he will pull out some of the better written articles, the writing of the highlights of the review. At that time, I wrote an essay that had been drawn, and it felt really good to be praised. Under the teacher's guidance, I also liked writing. The biggest influence on writing at that time was the importance of having a unique perspective and being imaginative. In the second year of junior high school I was even obsessed with writing poems, I wrote a lot at that time, but they were thrown away. At that time, in the ignorant adolescence, I met an open and innovative language teacher, which actually made me have a dream of becoming a writer.
I don't remember most of the poems and articles I've written, but only the skewering of a song I wrote in my junior year is still fresh in my mind: "Songs of Love"
#Love's ode mesmerizes the heart, and the star's date decorates the night sky. Butterflies fly, searching for the rose of devotion. Falling in love with someone who doesn't come home, waking up from a dream to realize what's wrong and right. Young I do not understand, thinking of the taste of hot love of hometown, galloping Asian majesty, rest assured to fly. In the vortex of popularity in pursuit of the past Liu Huan and Wei Wei. #
The language class to learn the rhyme of ancient poems, with modern words strung together, rhyming, to express their own meaning, which is called poetry by me. I'm not sure if I've ever been in a position to do that, but I'm sure that I've never been in a position to do that," he said. After I graduated from junior high school, I seldom wrote these so-called poems anymore, perhaps the time for them has passed. There is a good saying, "When I was young, I belonged to poetry. Older, the poem belongs to me", in the stage of middle age, I feel more and more is the time to get back to writing, the sense of life and the memories of the past life into the text, stay, stay to the old time to savor, like looking through the old photos, dwell in the once magnificent ......
3 funny and fashionable Mr. Yin
Mr. Yin's lectures are unconventional and often very interesting, for example, when speaking of a word, he said that in general, the word should be understood in this way, then ...... (We were actually expecting him to say under special circumstances.) What about the second general case, it is so understood (we all laughed because our class is the second class). There was also a time when he read an excerpt from the composition of the first class in the composition class "In our first class, to say the most honest person, it has to be Dong X, two big daughters do not change". We happily laughed again, and at that time it was a real pleasure to take his class, and we were looking forward to the language class.
He is very fond of new things, in the 1990s can not be counted as a very rich material times, he was playing with a number of novelties to make us greedy, once he took an interview machine in the classroom for their own recordings, "you, a fiber on the red flag; you, a petal of the red flower in the bush. You, a drop of water in a wave!" I still remember those lines to this day; they were played back on his interview machine. Of course, what attracted me more is that Sanyo mini interview machine, in those days, tape recorders are still rare, besides, the average person's home tape recorder is a brick, and he took the one with the size of the current cell phone. At that time, I thought, if only I had one too ......
Rural children have not seen the world, our teacher's family is in the city, he went to college to see much more than we are, from his body we see the development of modern technology. From his words and behavior, we could see that he was a modern intellectual young man, and we even wanted to be like him. Sometimes wear a suit and tie a serious lecture on the podium, which is our other rural teachers never had the image, this image allows us to increase the desire for new things, the desire for urban life ......
Once he said that he called from the city to our township switchboard, but no one answered, I heard the concept of "switchboard" for the first time, a township in those days may not have a few telephones, of course, we do not have a school. He also liked to play with airsoft guns, which were allowed in those days, and he told us about hunting with his friends. Also in class to the troublemaker classmates said "my shot is very accurate, you do not pout tail, I hit the bird is usually to see which pout tail hit which, you dare to pout again, I use the air gun to you enough down. "
4 dabbling in a wide range of Mr. Yin
First year, he sang an English version of "Late" for us in class, it was the first time to listen to an English song, the lyrics are his own translation, right or wrong at the time I do not know, anyway, I think it is quite fresh. I also heard that he published a small article about English in the middle school newspaper, and he was careful to say to us, do not let your English teacher know, huh?
Sometimes, in the acquisition of a new song will be sung to us in class, the deepest impression of a "not I'm not careful", and a Jackie Chan's "ambition in my chest", "patting the dust on the body, invigorate the tired spirit .......". , and in language class he taught us to sing.
The school has an organ in an empty classroom, and from time to time you can see him practicing in it. Of course, he also liked the guitar, and I heard that after we graduated he had played and sang a song called "Xiao Fang" to himself at one of the school events, "There's a girl in the village called Xiao Fang, good-looking and kind ......" He was not very tall and not very handsome, but when he played and sang he was sure to get screams from girls who liked it .........
Sword dancing, martial arts, and soccer, were his dabbling in sports, and at that time we used to play soccer during our physical education classes, and it was often him-our language teacher-who led us on the field. He shouted and raged on the pitch, leading a group of us teenagers to sweat it out on the green." In this way if you don't mind the heat, you won't be afraid of the heat at home when you cut wheat with a sickle." , "That classmate is so timid that he catches the ball with his butt when it comes", "Yin Yun J my good brother, keeps the goal again". I was the cannon fodder on the field, often stopping him near our goal, and when he came with the ball, I saw my chance to kick it to the far side. He could not help but say "XXX, that's all you can do, stop the ball here".
5 sometimes harsh Mr. Yin
Posted the previous paragraph to the group of students, attracted a few students responded to a student working in Shanghai said, "the old Yin lectures are very good, I have been very good at language, the college entrance examination is also good, the foundation of junior high school all rely on him". Another student told me about a time when he threw a "chalk head" at me for not paying attention in class. There were also two small classmates at the time, he was punished for talking to each other in class, two people hit each other with their heads. Teachers, the biggest responsibility is to teach and educate people, he wants us to study well, these chastisement, just a small discipline, students will not remember hate.
There is a Yin classmates generation long him a few generations, he said in private to the students, "Do not think that your generation long, the time to get you I will get you", Yin classmates said "Mr. Yin is the most flavorful teacher in our school. Indeed, sometimes he is just side will be reflected, such as the classroom blackboard broken, logistics of the old delay not repair, once to outsiders to listen to the class, he said, "the school leadership has said, the blackboard will be repaired immediately", and then really quickly repaired.
The strict but vivid, we were also looking forward to a story moment, he bought a set of "Chinese society monster story selection", in the classroom work in the interval will read for us one or two, I remember one said there is a scholar at night blowing the Xiao, the nearby beasts are attracted to. He even linked the stories of gods and monsters with aliens, enough to whet our appetite for curiosity.
"In fact, there are martial arts masters in the modern world, just generally do not show up, Zhai Mountain transmitter tower lights are gone, is a certain martial arts master to pick away" On his class, there is no point in the dull, learning the language do not feel tired at all, so the interesting language class lasted for three years, and Mr. Yin also took us for three years.
The year he graduated, he left us his home address "Yongfu Road, Kuangquan Lane, No. XXX," he said wryly, "If you go back to the X city, the bike is out of gas, you can go to my house to borrow a pump, and other than that, the water, the pipe is full."
6 Mr. Yin who ignited our millennial vision
"Hong Kong returned in 1997, Macau returned in 1999, and in 2000, Taiwan had to return!" Powerful words echoed in our classroom, "In the year 2000, the urban scale of X-city will be extended outward by ten kilometers, and so-and-so township may be zoned into the urban area." I was silently calculating whether my family could be zoned in or not. In his words, the year 2000 will be a new millennium, and many impossible prospects may be realized at that time. 2000, we rejoice for it, and the new millennium is so beautiful in our teacher's description. How I would like to be in the new millennium right away!
"In the year 2000, in a school classroom, a funny teacher is lecturing ......" , which is a composition written by a class of Fu Peng students, Mr. Yin used it as a model and acted it out in my class. His ideal was to become a teacher, a talented teacher like Mr. Yin. 2000 would have been the year our class graduated from university ....... But then this classmate did not become a teacher, in the foot of Taishan a certain company mixed also also still prosperous.
Toward the dream, in the language class, we all have their own little wish, a better tomorrow will attract us to study harder.
7 "official luck" is not too prosperous Yin teacher
Wei Shusheng's teaching ideas in that era set off a wave, Yin teacher is also affected by Wei Shusheng's teaching ideas in our remote township junior high school to make a bold attempt, the fruit showed. In the second year after our graduation, he became the deputy director of our school's teaching office. After a few more years, he transferred back to the city, and I looked up his curriculum vitae through the Internet, where he served as the deputy director of the political affairs office of the 29th middle school, the deputy director of the teaching office, and later became the director of the teaching office of Xi Zhong, and where I often saw pictures of our dear Mr. Yin on the school's website.
I often follow the school's website and would love to see news of Mr. Yin becoming the principal, but news of the vice principal has not yet appeared either. I think one of the reasons may be that he doesn't want to get out of the front line of education and doesn't want to let his career in education go to waste. There is also the possibility that his upright character may be less able to eat in the officialdom ......
8 Mr. Yin, "I wish you good health."
It's been ten years since I left my hometown, and learning something about it is usually through the Internet. Since the beginning of this semester, I haven't found your name on your school's website. I thought you had transferred or been promoted, but after a long time on Baidu, you were nowhere to be found. A few days ago, I again in Baidu your name, into the "" in a class of Qing Yang students wrote an article, after asking him to know that you are sick at home recuperation, good in the condition is not serious.
Three years ago I wanted to write an article to remember you, junior high school three years of our language education so that we benefit for life. You have left us an indelible memory in the bits and pieces with us. Since it has been so long 24 years since we saw you, your students, we have stepped from teenagers into middle age. Some of us have children who may be attending your school. Some mottled memories like fragments, it is difficult to pick up the whole, want to write about you, really feel unable to write, the first paragraph of this article was written three years ago. The first paragraph of this article was written three years ago. At that time, I particularly missed you, and the title was "The feeling of particularly missing the teacher, do you have? But after writing the first paragraph, I don't know how to continue to write down.
Until today, I will continue it, as a blessing to you, I wish you a speedy recovery, early return to the teaching post! Your students need you, their parents need you, and the students you have taught need you.
Afterword
Unconsciously, the code word has passed four thousand five, write this article, bless the teacher. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it," he said. Mr. Yin, this essay, if you let you change once, will be able to find out a lot of faults, this student of yours, in fact, the level of writing is still stuck in junior high school ......
(published first, wrote so much quite tired, and then change it later when you have time!)
