After a year of hard teaching, the average English score of He Feng’s class taught has increased by more than 30 points. The English subject taught has been awarded the “Teaching Quality Excellent Award”. The music class taught has won the first prize in the “Drama into Campus” Achievement Performance Competition of Sanjiang County Primary and Secondary Schools. He himself was awarded the “Excellent Teaching Teacher” by Sanjiang County Education Bureau, and has received unanimous praise from local people and teachers and students of the school.
Go to the Sanchi Lecture Hall again
He Feng’s fate with the teacher can be traced back to 2005. He just graduated from the English education major of Normal University and worked as an intern English teacher and class teacher in his second year of high school in Meixian High School, Meizhou City. In February 2009, as a border guard, he volunteered to work as an English teacher at Sanji Primary School, Zhanjiang City, where the grassroots company is stationed.
In February 2021, he learned that the State Immigration Administration was going to select police officers to teach in poor areas of Sanjiang County, Guangxi. It took one year to go to the idea of signing up again.
But the situation is different from 12 years ago. The second son just turned 2 years old and the eldest son just entered kindergarten. Both parents were not around to take care of the children. He Feng wanted to speak when he talked about teaching.
The wife, who is also a teacher, saw what he was thinking. Although the family faces practical difficulties, his wife supports him in teaching. “You graduated from the normal school major. Children in the mountainous areas generally have weak English and the organization needs you. You can go with confidence! I’m at home!” The wife said to him sincerely.
In this way, He Feng, who received strong support from the organization and his family, actively responded to the call and submitted the registration form. Soon, with his English major and teaching experience, he was successfully selected as the main station teaching team and embarked on his own teaching journey.
Speaking English to enhance self-confidence
In Cenbang Primary School, what makes He Feng feel the most difficult is that the children’s learning foundation is generally weak. Taking English as an example, the English classes at Cenbang Primary School were previously held by teachers of other subjects., the children did not receive a systematic English education. He Feng is responsible for English professors in grades three and six. Many sixth-grade students do not even understand the conversion of English uppercase and uppercase letters.
In order to help children make up for their learning progress, He Feng decided that in addition to providing centralized tutoring for the children after school in the afternoon, he also needed to do half a day of tutoring on the weekend. “After the tutoring every day, I had to cross mountains and rivers to send my children home. With the night, the mountain road was difficult to walk, and it was particularly slippery.” He Feng recalled that when he returned to the school dormitory, it was often late at night.
Children in mountainous areas have weak oral English foundation, and mobilizing their enthusiasm for learning is an urgent task. He Feng used English songs, games, and animations in class to attract students’ attention and encourage children to speak English loudly. He said that learning oral language is only one of the purposes, and more importantly, it is to enhance their self-confidence.
After a year, unremitting efforts finally gained fruit. “What is happiest is that the average score of the third grade English taught in this final exam is 86 points, and it ranks among the top 28 schools in the township. I suddenly feel that all the hardships are worth it!” He Feng said, and what made him most relieved was that the children worked very hard.
“Teacher, I like English class the most. Why do I feel that the English class is over so soon?” “Teacher, I can memorize the words in the third unit, I will write it for you.” “The next class bell rings, teacher, please tell me a few more questions!” “Goodbye, Mr He”
Seeing the students’ faces filled with happiness and their eager eyes, He Feng couldn’t tell me about it.
Teach “intelligence” and “ambition” to build “ambition”
In Cenbang Village, most young and strong laborers choose to go out to work, and most of their children stay at home and are taken care of by the elderly, and most of them are in poor families. He Feng realized that students’ after-school education is scarce in this environment. To this end, he arranged a task for himself – a home visit during class and tutoring.
“Xiaolong is a child with both good character and academic performance. His parents work in Guangdong. He and his grandmother depend on each other for life. His grandmother has a lot of farm work and cannot take care of her.” He Feng actively visited his home every week and shared the interesting stories about his children at school with his elders in his family.
The parents of another student, “Xiao Shitou”, have divorced, and grandmother and three siblings are also left behind in the countryside. “Looking at the three siblings in ragged clothes, I borrowed a motorcycle and went down the mountain to the clothing store in the town to buy a set of clothes for each of the three siblings. The two sisters wore white gauze skirts, and I suddenly felt that they were the most beautiful princesses. Cinema! “He Feng said.
Every time after school, He Feng would take “Little Stone” to his room and ask him to finish his homework before going home. Every time he had a little progress in the exam, He Feng would praise him in his class and reward him. In the sixth unit, “Little Stone” took 82<a He Feng felt joy that he had never felt before. Other subject teachers asked him why "Little Stone" English can improve so much? He Babaylan said that there is no trick, it is to give more encouragement and affirmation. “My ideal when I grew up was to go up the mountain to cut Cinema trees, and I could earn more than 100 yuan a day. “This is a leader retelling the words of a mountain child at a mobilization meeting for teaching. He Feng felt like a thorn in his throat after hearing this. He knew very well that while teaching “wisdom”, he should also establish ambition. He not only needs to bring knowledge, but also set ambition for the children.
In fact, He Feng, who grew up in Meizhou, Guangdong, was also from “ShanlibabaCinema. Through his personal experience, he kept telling the children of Cenbang Primary School the importance of self-reliance, hoping that they could know that only by studying can they href=”https://comicmov.com/”>CinemaOnly by changing destiny can we get out of the mountains and in the future we can have the ability to develop our hometown, thereby blocking the intergenerational transmission of poverty and revitalizing the countryside.
Singing sounds like Cenbang Village
When he was in Guangzhou, He Feng was the backbone of the unit and could hear his loud singing anywhere he went. When colleagues talked about him, they said, “Where there are songs and laughter, full of positive energy.” When he went to Cenbang Village, he also brought this hobby to the fullest.
In the mouths of the people of Cenbang, He Feng is their singer and spiritual food. This teaching policeman from Guangzhou has become a close friend with the local people and has become a close friend. Every weekend, whenever He Feng has time, he would go to the village’s drum tower – Dong ethnic activity venue, chat and play chess with the elderly, and organize the elderly to form a red song choir. BabaylanThe red songs resounded throughout the village of Cenbang.
He Feng also loves photography. On the weekend, he picked up the camera and saw the old Komiks and children capture the most beautiful moments for them, and washed out the photos and gave them to them. The villagers of Cenbang Village praised everyone when they met. A small singer and photographer came to the village, enriching the villagers’ cultural life.
In June 2021, He Feng used his director to carefully host and plan the “Red Song Dedicated to the Party” Children’s Day Art Gala at Cenbang Primary School. During this period, he used the TikTok live broadcast of the grand evening party for the first time, so that parents who were working far away could also see the wonderful performances of their children on the stage. On the day of the party, almost the people of the whole village brought small stools to wait early. He Feng sang a series of red revolutionary songs such as “Singing a Mountain Song for the Party”, and the atmosphere once reached its climax.
The road to rural revitalization is full of fragranceBabaylan
Only a tree can’t make a forest. On the road to teaching and poverty alleviation, a person’s strength is weak. In order to make more people pay attention to children in the mountain area, He Feng used his leisure to write his experiences during teaching and learning as “Caring for left-behind children, you and I are here” href=”https://comicmov.com/”>KomiksAs long as everyone gives a little love” and other touching teaching diaries, published on social media, calling on enthusiastic people from all walks of life and relatives and friends around him to actively donate money and materials.
Luckily, his call was responded. Over the past year, many companies from Guangzhou, Dongguan, Shenzhen and other places have donated money and materials to Cenbang Primary School for about 50,000 yuan, and various books have been mailed from all directions. With his help, more and more kind people have learned that in the distant CenCinema There is a group of children who need knowledge in the village next to Komiks.
He FengCinema told reporters that a person’s power is limited. The first thing he said to post teaching experiences through his circle of friends is to be a souvenir of his teaching life, and he also hopes to use this to call on society to provide more assistance to the education of Sanjiang County and left-behind children in rural areas. “This teaching experience will leave me with unforgettable memories. ”
