? In order to carry forward the spirit of the "Five Elders", remember the lofty years and relive the struggle, on August 23, 2021, Xiangtan University Golden Shield Law Society "Five Elders" Deeds Research Group (hereinafter referred to as the "Golden Shield Research Group") organized an online and offline seminar on the "Five Elders". (hereinafter referred to as "Golden Shield Research Group") had the honor to interview Shu Jianxiao, a senior professor with more than 40 years of teaching experience, by combining online and offline methods. A member of the research group, Li Shangrong, who is located in Yinjiamou Village, Fengxiang District, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, visited the old man's home, and other members of the group made a video call to the old man with the assistance of Shangrong. 9 members of the group were distributed in the south and north of the country like stars, but the old man in the video segment y touched each one of us. Shu old man Zhu face and crane hair, hale and hearty, ear and eyes, talk about his teaching experience, he is full of emotion and happiness. ?

In 1960, Shu was 18 years old, in his youthful years, a junior high school student who still had half a year to go before graduation, and he and a few classmates were called to go to a neighboring village to teach in the elementary school. After one semester, due to the shortage of teachers, Shu stayed at the school as a teacher, and in 1966, when the Cultural Revolution broke out, he left the school to join the labor force for family reasons. One day, half a year later, the Grand Commune voted at a meeting to recall Shu to the school. Since then, Shu has been moving from village to village until he left the school in 2004.In 1991, Shu received the certificate of honor for teachers with thirty years of teaching experience in Shaanxi Province.In 2000, Shu received the title of senior secondary school teacher, which is the highest title for secondary school teachers and is equivalent to that of associate professor.

Forty years of teaching and learning has been a long time coming, and he has devoted himself to basic education to build the foundation for national renaissance

? In 1949, the new China was founded, it is the great moment of national rejuvenation, and the foundation of national rejuvenation in education, the foundation of education in primary and secondary schools. At the beginning of the founding of new China, China's per capita years of education is only 1.6 years, pre-school education gross enrollment rate from 0.4% (1950), elementary school net enrollment rate of 20%, junior high school gross enrollment rate from 3.1%, high school gross enrollment rate from 1.1%, the basic education is imminent. Due to the extreme lack of local teachers, Shu Lao was fortunate enough to cross the gap of family composition and become a teacher, contributing to the cause of education in China.

? When we asked about the reasons for choosing to become a teacher, Shu said: "In fact, I didn't want to be a teacher at first, I wanted to study. 60 years was the period of rural cooperatives, universal education, at that time, there were only 2 or 3 teachers in a school, the shortage of teachers, and we hadn't even graduated yet, so we were selected from the junior high school to become teachers. For this reason, I also negotiated with the commune to come back after one year of teaching to take the promotion examination, and the commune agreed. When I finally finished teaching for one semester and wanted to take the exam, the commune wouldn't let me go, so I had no choice but to continue working as a teacher. After six years as a teacher, the Cultural Revolution came, and I was dismissed to work in the commune. However, during the Cultural Revolution, arts and sports were prevalent again. At that time, schools had to organize competitions every year and every semester, and in order to meet the target, the principal of the school wanted to find a teacher, and then he found me, who was good at these things. Finally after the 14 squads of the commune voted centrally to agree, the principal called me back to the school." Shu Lao, who was good at literature and sports, rehearsed programs and led his students in competitions, and so Shu Lao, a man of many jobs, began his long road of education again. Only this time, a little more fun and willingness.

"Forty years and ten years of bouncing around from place to place." From 1960, Shu moved from one elementary school to another, page canal elementary school (1960.3-1960.8), Yan Jiawu elementary school (1960.9-1963.8), Wangbao village elementary school (1963.9-1966.3), Yin Jiawu elementary school (1966.3-1972.2), and left the school for half a year during the Cultural Revolution because of the family. 1972, due to the excellent educational performance, Shu was promoted to teach at the junior high school. In 1972, due to his excellent educational performance, Shu was promoted to teach at a junior high school, starting his second teaching journey. Chencun No. 2 Middle School (1972.3-1978.8), Chencun No. 1 Middle School (1978.9-1984.8), Page Drainage Middle School (1984.9-1991.8), Wangbao Village Middle School (1991.9-1992.8), Huayuan Middle School (1992.9-1994.8), and Yinjiamou Middle School (1994.9-2003.3). Until 2003, at the age of 62, Shu officially left his podium. In 1960, when he first set foot in Page Drain Elementary School, Shu was still a student who hadn't graduated from junior high school, where he was in charge of his sixth-grade classmates' studies. He laughed, "The first time I went into the school, the sixth-grade students shouted, 'We've got a new student.' Because of the age of the children at that time, the sixth-grade boys used to "pull the carrot" out of the teacher's head when they played basketball with him. It wasn't until '63 or '64 that there was an age limit on students." When students were disobedient, the teacher would criticize them, and there were weekly home visits. Referring to his teaching experience, Shu Lao said, "At that time, it was unified management by Fengxiang County Education Bureau, so it was based on your family so far, mobile teaching in nearby rural middle schools." When Shu was teaching, due to the lack of infrastructure, the school didn't provide accommodation, so he walked to and from school. Shu said, "At that time, because of the low salary and planned economy, we couldn't buy bicycles at all, and we usually carried bedding on our backs when we went to school, and when the county held study and exchange meetings and so on, we carried bedding on our backs when we went there as well. I started teaching in '60 and bought my first bicycle in '82. Although I bought a bicycle in '82, the countryside was full of dirt roads, and it was impossible to ride a bicycle when it rained." Talking about teaching in those days, Shu talked about the class time at that time: "At that time, the class was three sections in the morning and noon, from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. it was early morning exercise, morning reading, language, math, and then a break of 1 hour to eat breakfast; at noon until 12:30 p.m. the class was dismissed, and there was a break of 1 hour to eat lunch; and it ended at 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. to go home." At that time, the teacher was under more pressure than the students, because the students were all studying in their own village, "it took about 1 hour to go to school," the educational environment was very poor and simple, only 27 yuan a month, the school did not provide teachers' dormitories, so Shu Lao needed to get up at 5:00 am every day to walk 1 hour to reach the school, and then in the afternoon, after classes, to In the afternoon, after classes, he would walk home for one hour. This is more than 20 years.

"Peach and plum do not speak, the next from the fish." In those days, boys were the workforce of the family, and many rural families didn't realize the importance of learning until the students stepped into society to appreciate the good intentions of their teachers. Shu, like many teachers, has been teaching for dozens of years, and now only remembers the good learners and the naughty ones in his class. When the researchers asked about the students who had a deep impact, Mr. Shu thought for a while, and with tears in his eyes, he said, "There is a student named Zhang Yanjin, who is more honest and slower to respond. Whenever I asked a question in class, he couldn't answer it, and then he was criticized. One year, I went to visit my brother who was sick, and met him at the train station. He was working at a petroleum machinery yard in Baoji, and asked me to come and sit with him, but I didn't want to go because I thought I often criticized him in school, but he dragged me. When resting at night, the child said to me: 'I have always wanted to talk to you, I read the time, especially hate you, and now work, because there is no culture, many jobs can not be competent, I now especially regret, the teacher for me to read the book really paid too much too much, I was if I studied well, and now certainly can be more useful.' There is also a child, when he went to school especially naughty, like teachers and students to labor, the rural stone mill Push into the ditch, have done countless bad things. Later he came back as a soldier and went to the school to see me, telling me: 'Teacher, I was too disobedient when I was studying, I didn't learn anything, and now I regret it, if I were allowed to study now, I would be a good student.'" Elder Shu was very pleased to say, "These children know how to get ahead in society, which is actually quite good." Teachers impart knowledge at the same time, it is more important to help students establish the correct values and outlook on life.

In the heart of the country, there is a family in the line, the life of the pain in return for a song in 1966, in order to prevent the restoration of capitalism, to maintain the purity of the party and the search for China's own construction of the road to socialism, the new China launched the Cultural Revolution movement. During this campaign, countless people suffered from injustice due to their family composition, and Shu, who had been teaching for six years at the time, was assigned to repair reservoirs. Talking about the Cultural Revolution, Shu did not have any resentment, although he did not continue his studies, but he had the honor to join the ranks of teachers; although he did not go to the battlefield, but for the motherland to cultivate talents; although he did not join the Chinese **** production party, but the party has remained in the heart forever. For the labor of the Cultural Revolution, he smiled and said, "In fact, a lot of water conservancy projects were repaired at that time, to participate in the labor also exercise my body, quite good." The open-minded attitude made the research team admire him. During the Cultural Revolution, Jiang Qing promoted eight model operas to publicize revolutionary stories. Talking about his favorite model opera, Shu mentioned "The Story of the Red Lantern". This story tells the tale of three generations of a revolutionary family, Grandma Liu, an old revolutionary, Li Yuhe, who is in her prime, and Li Tiemei, a new generation of revolutionaries. In order to protect the Party's secret code, the three generations, who are not related by blood, form a family and fight against the Japanese invaders, later handing over the code to the guerrillas and winning the battle accordingly. In this as a railroad trigger worker Li Yuhe sacrificed, Li Tiemei completed the task, the successor of the revolution is Li Tiemei, means the heritage of the revolution. A hundred years of journey is magnificent, a hundred years of the beginning of the new. China's **** production party's century of development, experienced generation after generation of inheritance, "five old" era has come to an end, but the "five old" spirit will always exist.

? "I have not joined the party, but my heart to the party." Shu Lao reported to the party with high respect, talking about why did not join the party, Shu Lao lamented: "At that time when the social change, my family clan is the village of the only family name, so was assessed as a rich peasant, the composition is too high, so I am not qualified to join the party. Later there was an opportunity, but I was already old and about to retire, I couldn't contribute much more to the Party, so I refused the school's many invitations and left the opportunity to join the Party to the young people, I thought: more than me, the young people are the Party's hope and future, and can accompany the Party farther, I will leave the Party in my heart, and I will leave the Party in my line." Not joining the Party when he was young is a regret in Shu's heart, but this regret can't change the position of the Party in Shu's heart, and it is the Party's leadership that makes China new. The statue of Chairman Mao hanging in Shu's house for dozens of years, as well as books on national party politics at home, these are the best evidence. Embracing the Party's leadership is not only the duty of *** members of the Communist Party, but also the duty of every young person. The party is the people's party and the country is the people's country. Talking about the inheritance of family customs, Shu Lao proudly said, "Our family motto is to study hard and be united. My grandfather was especially strict with his children, not allowing us to drop out of school to work in the farm or to work, we just had to study. And we were not allowed to fight and quarrel outside, nor were we allowed to gamble." Good family education laid the foundation for Shu Lao's growth. For his children's education, he also adhered to the teachings of his elders and taught his several sons to be united. The family photo hanging in the home is full of children and grandchildren, envying others.

"Three-foot podium, three-inch tongue, three-inch pen, three thousand peaches and plums; ten years of trees, ten years of wind, ten years of rain, one hundred thousand beams." Nowadays, the previous generation, which was aimed at building the country's education and improving the national education rate, has completed its task, and as the new generation of successors, we should take it as our responsibility to improve the quality of education and the level of education. Listening to Shu's story, let us remember the history, mourn the countless forefathers who threw their heads and spilled their blood for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and inspire us to strive to learn the noble spirit from our forefathers. We are Xiangtan University Golden Shield Law Society "five old" deeds research group, we are "on the road"!
