@ West China Metropolis Daily: Yang Guowu, 50, started his 18 year old high school graduation and became a "teaching worker" in the mountains of Kaijiang, Dazhou. With his wife, in 2001, the couple's desire to build a primary school was finally realized, and the completion of the primary school was more convenient for the hundreds of children in the neighborhood. Over the years, the primary school had gone out of about 50 college students.
their actions
have gone through all kinds of hardships, and the construction of private villages has solved the problem of children's reading.
their pride
there are about 50 college students coming out of this village. This makes the couple proud.
their wishes
hope that the school will become better and better, and hope that more good hearted people can help these left behind children.
in the village of Weimo village, Kaijiang County, Kaijiang County, Dazhou, there is a school called "couple primary school" by nearby villagers. Yang Guowu, 50, is the founder of this school. When he first met him in January 2nd this year, he was using the less standard Putonghua on the rostrum to teach math papers to children.
Shao Baiying is his wife and also a substitute teacher in the school. Besides taking classes, she took care of the children's food and drink. The primary school is called Chang Yan Gou primary school, located in the deep part of Dabashan and at the foot of Wushan and at the junction with Chongqing. In recent years, a large number of young and middle-aged migrant workers, the nearby children's school problems parents worry.
the establishment of this primary school not only solved the worries of parents, but also made many left behind children learn to go out of the mountains by learning knowledge. In order to build this school, Yang Guowu and his wife raised about 700000 yuan in their own funds, and 32 years in the mountains. They still owe more than 20 yuan.
it was easy to take care of them with their children to live in a room of
the cold winter morning, and Yang Guowu and his wife got up and started a busy, flat day of life that they had been through for 32 years. Shao Baiying evokes children from boarding schools, dressing them, teaching them to pack up bedding, and then having breakfast in the school cafeteria. After breakfast, Shao Baiying came to the nursery class to take care of the children. In her spare time, she also washed the clothes for the children.
the school currently has 7 substitute teachers, 6 primary schools and 7 kindergarten classes, with 160 students. The children range from 3 to 13 years old. They are all children in the village and nearby villages. Most of them are left behind children. Because most parents go out to work, the children's room and board is the biggest problem. In order to take better care of children, the canteen will be served with meat and vegetables.
the bedroom of the couple's bedroom and the lower grade are in the same room. The wall is separated by the bedroom of the 26 year old son. "Living with children is easy to take care of, and my son can live in school." Shao Baiying is pleased to say that her daughter-in-law is also a contemporary teacher in the school.
hard running school teachers go to school road
in 1982, 18 year old high school just graduated from Yang Guowu, become a local public primary school substitute teacher, but the work of substitute teachers is very difficult. "At that time, I taught for half a year and didn't teach in the second half of the year." Once he wanted to give up his teacher's profession, but after the pleading of students and parents, he picked up the pointer again and stepped onto the platform to become a private substitute teacher.
"finding the school house at that time was the most troublesome, just like playing guerrilla warfare." In public schools, they found a school house, and later rented many houses as school buildings. Due to the poor teaching conditions of the houses, there were 4 times to replace the school buildings.
two years after the second generation of the school, Yang Guowu started the idea of running a school, but because of the immature conditions, he buried the idea of running a school in the bottom of his heart. Until 2001, with the support of Kaijiang County Education Bureau, his idea of running a school was finally realized. Since then, Yang Guowu and his wife have embarked on the road of running a school. "There is pain, but happiness is the same." Each time he recalls the experience, the couple are full of tears, but their eyes are full of hope.
there is no good site for the construction of the site. Yang Guowu will replace the villagers' land with their own package area and the site nearby. After the settlement of the school address, funds became the "heart disease" of Yang Guowu and his wife. "My wife and I had an annual income of only ten thousand yuan, and how hard it was to build the school." To solve the financial problem, Yang Guowu borrowed 60 thousand yuan from the bank and borrowed 30 thousand yuan from his sister.
raise 700 thousand yuan to build school he himself Lassa mound
construction school funds for the temporary solution, but there is no extra money for workers to lay the foundation, pull bricks and stones, Mr. and Mrs. Yang Guowu will be pro automatic hand, dug earthwork, flat field. During this time, his hands were all cocoon. "At that time, he repaired the playground himself, pulling mud and clay pits, doing it day and night every day, laying a small section every day, and winter was no exception." Shao Baiying said.
after the completion of the school, 50 students came into the first year, reaching the peak in the following year, and ushered in over 200 students. But when the number of students is increasing, new problems arise: school buildings are not enough.
Yang Guowu can only borrow money from his relatives and friends, raising about 400000 yuan successively. "At that time, there was no money to hire workers at the time of repairing dormitories. All of them were friends and family members who volunteer to help and confiscate a division of money." Yang Guowu joked that if it weren't for these "voluntary workers", the dormitory would not know when to repair it.
Long Yan Gou primary school has been built for 13 years, and has begun to take shape. The two 3 storey teaching building is a playground built by cement. The 1 floor is the school canteen and the 4 floor is the dormitory room. 7 substitute teachers, 7 classes in 6 grades and 7 classes in primary schools, 160 students, aged 3 to 13 years.
Yang Guowu has spent about 700000 yuan on the construction of the school. At present, he has more than 20 yuan in debt. "Fortunately, my relatives and friends didn't rush me. They all waited until I was rich." Yang Guowu said.
dialogue party
rooted in the mountains for 32 years: "for children's worth!"
rooted in the mountains for 32 years, Yang Guowu and his wife also saw hope. There are about 50 college students from here, using Yang Guowu's words as saying: it is worthwhile to teach the children with the knowledge they have learned and let them change their fate.
the couple regard their students as their own children. Yang Haihua, 11, is their special "daughter". So far, Yang Haihua has spent several Spring Festival at school.
"I want my dad very much." When Yang Haihua spoke of his father, he was in tears. She was abandoned by her biological parents when she was very young, and was adopted by a local 60 year old villager. Since then, she has had many grandfathers. "They took care of me, they washed clothes and cooked meals for me, and they took me to see a doctor when they were sick." Yang Haihua cried.
when asked about what he wanted, Yang Guowu said he was now old, and he was not enough to take care of the students. He wanted more people to care about, help the children, and care for the children.
