At 8:00 a.m. on October 26, the fifth annual conference of Language Wetland kicked off with the appearance of the four hosts. As soon as the opening ceremony was over, the big show began: Mr. Qian Menglong, the titan of the language world, gave a speech!
Nearly ninety years old Qian in the applause of the teachers slowly walked onto the stage, after taking his seat, the old man Qian said the first paragraph is "Teachers, everyone is good! I am a language wetland of an occasional transit, language wetland of three characteristics of me very appropriate, the first "folk", the second grassroots, the third informal, I'm absolutely from the folk, but also absolutely grassroots, and there is no formal identity, of course, I speak the words of the formal. " This opening, following the summary of the characteristics of the language wetland in Yuan Lao's opening speech, cleverly cuts to the chase and is particularly gracious; exceptional teachers are particularly good at naturally cutting to the chase from their surroundings. I was impressed by Qian's wit, and touched by the humility of Qian's "folk grassroots informality".
Then, Mr. Qian said that Mr. Wang Jun contacted him and wanted him to talk about his life story, and he said, "I am indeed a storyteller ...... Last night, looking back on my life, I thought of a few words.... ..." and said he pulled out a tiny piece of paper from his jacket pocket, "Clueless." Qian Lao said: "Think about it is really poor, this life is condensed in this above ......" said while raising the hand of the small piece of paper. The self-deprecating words present a penetrating image of a wise old man, calm and relaxed. I think the money old man should be this life without regrets, so can calmly self-deprecating said his life on that side of a small piece of paper.
Then, Mr. Qian began to tell his life story one by one.
Qian Lao set a record of kindergarten repetition, third grade repetition, fifth grade repetition, second grade repetition of junior high school brilliant record, by his classmates and teachers called "smart face, stupid belly," the person. After repeating fifth grade, he met the life-changing teacher Wu Zhongying. Teacher Wu used to teach Qian Lao to look up the dictionary to awaken the confidence of a teenager repeating a grade, with the task of entrusting a pre-school checking the pronunciation of text words and words to reshape the confidence of a teenager repeating a grade and promote a teenager repeating a grade to take the initiative to learn, thus changing the destiny of a teenager. Mr. Qian said that Mr. Wu made him start the habit of reading articles before class, developed a good habit of chewing on words, and stopped skipping school and enjoyed classes. And the elementary school graduation, Mr. Wu gave Qian Lao's comment "the student is gifted" is to let the "smart face stupid belly" this evaluation of the shadow swept away.
Then Qian Lao read junior high school, it has developed the habit of self-learning, each on a text before, will certainly read the article and try to form their own independent opinion, listening to the teacher in the classroom, their own understanding of what the teacher said to compare and contrast to confirm, regardless of their own ideas and the teacher said the same and different, the money old man will ask why, so that the general students to listen to the process of remembering the process of thinking, so that not only the text of the text, but also to the teacher, the teacher said the same and different, the old man will ask why, so the general students listen to the process of thinking. This will turn the process of listening and memorizing into a process of thinking, so that not only a deep understanding of the text but also exercise the power of thought. In this way, even if he didn't study before the exam, Qian Lao was able to secure the first place in the class. Moreover, in junior high school, Qian also fell in love with reading books, especially poetry. Qian said that he spent nearly a semester memorizing all the 300 Tang Poems, and through self-study, he figured out the levels of the poems, and was able to write poems and stanzas according to the levels of the poems in the first and second grades, and learned to recite the poems, and also motivated his male classmates to recite the poems together. Later, he wrote poems under the pen name of a deaf-blind poet and published them regularly in Torch, a wall newspaper he founded. Mr. Qian's self-education in poetry impressed me that one can really learn something if one has the desire to learn. For example, Mr. Yin Dong, the founder of Wetland, is the one who fumbled with computers and information technology on his own, and became the most computer-literate among the language teachers by the spirit of hard work. So, with a heart that yearns for upward mobility, self-study can grow just as well.
After graduating from junior high school, Qian Lao dropped out of high school after only three months. 1949, after the liberation of Shanghai, Qian Lao gave birth to the idea of doing something for the new society, and then found a private elementary school, do not want to prepare not pay only want to become a teacher to do something for the new society. In this way, Qian Lao from teaching primary school students to teach junior high school and finally to teach high school, creating a myth "junior high school graduates teach high school", and taught well. It is really a proof of the "folk grassroots informality" that Mr. Qian gave himself at the beginning of his career, and it also proves that Mr. Qian's self-learning ability is superb! A junior high school graduate who teaches high school is surely self-taught! It also occurs to me that the reason why Mr. Qian created such a legend in education has something to do with the fact that he has a heart of sincerity. Because of his sincerity, he was simple and persistent. Just think about how to do a good job, how things will not be done?
This kind of sincerity is very obvious in another part of Qian's life experience.
Because of the sincerity, Qian Lao responded to the call of the Secretary of the Party Committee of the District Board of Education, to the party's views, and to make comments on the major events, frequently expressed their views, said some of the truth is not quite in the middle of the truth, and finally in 1957, was branded as a rightist elements. Listening to Mr. Qian eloquently recounting his experience, his light-heartedness at this time made me think of Mr. Qian in those days: he sincerely wrote his ideas into a large-print newspaper, he ran around explaining his ideas and suggestions, and when he saw bad phenomena and bad places, he put forward his own ideas in the hope that he could make the society in which he lived a better place! It is also as if I can see Qian's self-growth in adversity, not giving up, comforting himself with poems, not forgetting to grow; in the death of Chairman Mao, Qian wrote in his own supervisor of Mao Zedong's Thought column in memory of Chairman Mao's three songs in seven rhymes, which was copied by the then famous Mr. Shen, and later helped to promote Qian to be named a teacher of the special grade. It can be seen that the old man in adversity still do not give up self-growth, still writing poems, otherwise, there will not be a later tribute to Chairman Mao's three poems.
The old man said, his prime is up and down, his middle age is bumping, but his old age is smooth. 1979, the country's first selection of teachers, the old man with the "Yugong Yishan" show class was recommended by the local education bureau to participate in the evaluation of teachers, a discussion through, to obtain this honorary title. This kind of smooth, in fact, is Qian Lao self-growth of an inevitable result. If from 1957 was branded as a rightist, Qian Lao gave up self-growth, he could not be in the end of the Cultural Revolution, Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Education held a key suburban school principals meeting a lesson to become famous, this lesson to become famous, "Foolish Old Man Removes Mountains," is precisely the result of the Qian Lao self-growth; if from 1957 was branded as a rightist, Qian Lao gave up self-growth, he will not be able to write the merits of the time when Chairman Mao died The first is a poem about the death of Chairman Mao, and the second is a poem about the death of Chairman Mao, and the third is a poem about the death of Chairman Mao, and the third is a poem about the death of Chairman Mao, and the third is a poem about the death of Chairman Mao, and the third is a poem about the death of Chairman Mao.
Qian Lao in the twilight of his life, poetry as a good medium to meet a good match, and Ms. Yao Danhua poetry and harmony, living a sweet and beautiful life.
This is the gift of the years to Mr. Qian, the gift of the years to Mr. Qian's lifelong persistent pursuit.
Mr. Qian used seven sentences to summarize his life story, and what I felt from Mr. Qian's life story is that the years have never been negative to anyone. A person with a desire to grow will not sink in the setbacks of life, Qian Lao is like that, and so is Ms. Wang Jun who invited Qian Lao for us. I still remember Ms. Wang Jun mentioning in her article that when she was 25 years old, she went to the national lecture podium and taught "The Wolf" to great acclaim, and almost everyone thought that the first prize would be hers, but it turned out not to be. As a result, Ms. Wang Jun encountered a low point in her professional growth. However, in the days of doubt and denial, she used to write and publish articles to make a comeback, and once again to grow beyond herself.
Qian said that there are two unqualified language teachers in the country, one is Qian Menglong and the other is Wei Shusheng, known as "South Qian and North Wei". But we all know, Qian Lao or Wei Shusheng teacher, have become a nationally renowned language teacher, which explains the two predecessors are self-educated model! It is the years are not responsible for the self-growth of dreamers ah!
