Someone once asked Teacher Li Zhenxi

You have gone through the retirement procedures, why are you still so busy?

Teacher Li said: Education is a hobby. How can there be any retirement for a hobby? Some people like fishing and retire at the age of 60? People who love playing mahjong will stop playing at the age of 60? Because you are retired, is there such a thing? There is no retirement in hobbies, retirement is just a formality.

When you face what you feel are aggrieved, when others oppress you, and when they hinder your progress, don’t complain, let alone quit or whatever. Your only way is to strengthen yourself. , when you are extremely powerful, the whole world will open a way for you. Once a bird flies through the range of the hunter, it is free...

Every child is proud

Some schools often advertise which children have been admitted to Tsinghua University, Peking University or some key universities. These are all trained by us. If you don’t get admitted, Why are your children so embarrassed? You always flaunt it, so why don’t you say that you also trained those children who did not go to college! So education makes every child proud.

Three examples of students I once taught

I once taught a student named Yang Song from the third grade of junior high school to the third grade of high school. This child was very naughty and his grades were not very good. Okay, not the worst, but when the child reached high school, he suddenly became sensible and became better and better. Finally, he was recommended to Fudan University. He was undoubtedly the most outstanding child among my students. Later, he worked in sales after graduating from university. Very good, and later joined Dongfeng Nissan and became the sales director. Once I went to Guangzhou to give a lecture, and three generations of his family attended. A few years later, he went to the United States to open up the market and became president. Everyone blessed him, and then he resigned. After returning to China, he founded his own company and is now the CEO of a car company. In April last year, I walked to work. Because I had the habit of doing morning exercises, I chatted with my student via voice while walking. The student asked: Teacher Li, why are you out of breath? I said I walked to work, and he said, you Why don't you drive? I joked to him: Can I compare with you? You are Mr. Yang, and I am a teacher. You can drive a car, but I cannot afford a car, so I have to walk to work. Yang Song immediately said seriously: Teacher Li, you are joking when I give you a car. I am not joking. Firstly, it is to express gratitude. Secondly, I am using my own money and there is no violation at all... It took more than half an hour. Finally, the 4S store called me to get the license plate. Yang Song said: Teacher Li, I want you to experience the efficiency of our company. Finally, I called Yang Song: I accepted the car with my heart, but I don’t want the car. How can I express my gratitude that I received the car? You send me the car model (model). Yang Song sent me a motorcade. When these motorcades stood on my desk, I felt very proud. I felt that I had such an outstanding student.

However, if I am only proud of Yang Song, I am not qualified as a teacher!

My classmate Ning Wei is a child who studies very seriously and hard. Her parents are not well-educated, but they are hardworking and kind-hearted. This child is one of my favorites, but she did not perform well in the college entrance examination. If she could pass the exam, she could have repeated her studies, but because her younger brother in the family also had to study, she did not repeat her studies. Later, she kept working and went to Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu and other places, working all the way. Her story is very touching. She was once invited by me When she gave lectures at schools and told her story about her part-time job, many teachers burst into tears. What I want to say is, Ning Wei also gives me gifts every year. What do they give me?

Oranges, sausages and bean paste, in my heart I am proud of both Yang Song and Ning Wei. This is a complete education. Don’t just focus on Yang Song. Yang Song is so smart. Did you train him to get into college? I can only say that you are lucky enough to have such a talented child in your class. You have to face every child. This is education.

Tao Xingzhi said more than 100 years ago that after returning to China, the country must become a democratic country through education instead of military means. Education must achieve fairness and justice. He once sharply criticized At that time, people regarded it as a famous saying, "Only when you endure hardships can you become the best among people." He said that China has entered the era of democracy and peace. Everyone is equal. There is no reason to be the best among people and to be the best among people. .

We usually educate our children to get ahead, but what exactly are we educating? Educate children to look down on workers and farmers? How do we scold students? If you don’t study hard, just sweep the road! Does Chinese education need innovation? No, we must return to the original intention of education!

Another student’s story

Zhou Hui, she was in the same class as Ning Wei. The year was 1987. One day, she had a stomachache at night. Her classmates came to my dormitory and told me that I I immediately pushed her to the hospital on a bicycle. When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that her condition was not good and she would need to be hospitalized for observation. Depending on the situation, she might need surgery. The hospital was in the mountains. In those days, there was no other means of transportation and there was no other way but to carry her up the mountain. , I remember that at that time, carrying her on my back and taking a breath every step, it was really a long mountain road. Three years later, before graduation, Zhou Hui wrote an article "In the Days I Was Sick". There is this passage in the article that I still remember freshly:

Teacher Li was carrying me on the mountain road. I was in so much pain that I couldn't speak. In order to distract me, Teacher Li jokingly recited a poem to me: He who rides on the heads of the people, the people will break him down! I couldn't laugh out loud at that time, but I was very moved. I silently recited in my heart: Those who work as oxen and horses for the people, the people will always remember him!

Later Zhou Hui was discharged from the hospital. His father, a middle-aged man in his 40s, was very simple. As a thank you, he sent me a chicken. I once told others that I never I don’t accept gifts, but I was wrong. I have eaten chicken from Zhou Hui’s father’s house. Three years later, Zhou Hui was admitted to Beijing Foreign Studies University and kept in touch with me. Later, I moved again and again and lost contact. Many years later, Zhou Hui contacted me again. At this time, she was already a Ph.D. , and taught at a famous university in Germany. Later she gave me a book, which was her own work. I read the contents and it was obvious that she was already a thoughtful, accomplished and accomplished humanities scholar. .

Putting three gifts together

Whether it is Yang Song’s car model, Ning Wei’s Doubanjiang or Zhou Hui’s medical work, they are all of equal value in my heart , are all my pride! This is the education we should have. We should not just focus on a talented person and ignore an ordinary worker. As long as the students you train are honest, kind and hard-working, they are worthy of our pride!

What is moral education?

Moral education is routine. There are no scraps of paper on the campus of more than 3,000 people, and no swear words are heard. This is moral education. Moral education should go deep into the hearts of students, not for other people. Look.

Moral education should moisturize things quietly

Moral education is a normal life, and morality is the teacher. When the flag is raised, the students stand very well, but the teacher stands crookedly, and some even To put it quietly, this is not called moral education.

The best moral education is infection rather than speech

There was once a child who was late in the morning, but as soon as he entered the school, he stopped on the playground and saluted, because I heard the national anthem. Can the teacher do it?

Education must have a child’s perspective

Suhomlinsky once studied

Trees are good for children. A child must own ten trees. Education There must be wasteland, let children have a paradise, and the story of planting trees in wasteland is told.

The story of Tao Xingzhi’s statue

One stands tall in the middle of the school and the other is accessible to children. Which one is more in line with children’s perspective?

Everything in education must exist because of children

Children must speak children’s language, but some schools teach children to speak adult language. What’s even more regrettable is that many schools are too clean and have steel bars everywhere. There is cement, dirt for children to play in, and no paradise. Many schools are prepared for leadership and scoring, but do not consider the feelings of children.

Taiwan’s schools allow climbing trees, but in mainland China, they consider safety and deprive children of their natural instincts in the name of safety.

The basketballs on the playground are placed in net bags so that children can play at any time, but some schools lock up the sports equipment tightly.

Some school slogans remind you of three things (handle with care, speak softly...) Is this a hospital or something else?

Who is everything on campus prepared for? For children!

The best moral education is demonstration, and the best education is infection! Everything brings education back to its simplest state! Green water, green mountains and laughter are what education is all about!
