first into the mountains, Zhao Yirong felt the basic life, but there will be other problems, such as many mosquitoes in the mountains, and mice, these realities need to be solved by herself - adjust the mentality, try various methods, prevent mosquito, pest control, prevent theft, make the living environment comfortable.
"it's no use complaining about the negative attitude. It can only see how to make yourself more comfortable."
Zhao Yirong faced difficulties and language difficulties. "In Shantou, Guangdong, it is particularly obvious that it is a language problem. The Chaozhou and Shantou dialect, at the beginning, does not understand it at the beginning. It is better now. The students will tell me how to speak common words in Chaoshan dialect and speak Putonghua in front of me. The local teacher, too, took care of me. " During the teaching period of
, a thing that made Zhao Yirong very moved also happened.
at the end of August, at the beginning of September, the school just opened, when Zhao Yirong was still in the adaptation stage, "the second week September 10th is the teacher's day, not paying attention to this matter, just knowing the students, they did not say, privately prepared the teacher's Day gift. A very shy girl, dare not speak to me. But that day she went to the mountains and picked up some beautiful flowers. She lowered her head and shyness and said to me, "teacher, happy holidays."
"everyone will feel that the teaching is dedicated and doing things, but my real feeling is to grow up with the students, and I can learn what I can't get to school in other jobs." Zhao Yirong thought it was an opportunity for her to understand herself better and understand her country.
a girl with Zhao Yirong is also back from abroad, the local people in Chaoshan, "holding a kind of back feeding mentality to support the teaching." The girl's father did not support it. She felt that "since I was studying in the countryside to teach in the countryside," she wrote a letter of ten thousand words to his father and finally got their support.
Zhao Yirong felt lucky that her parents were open-minded and supportive of her choice. "My parents grew up in rural areas and changed their fortunes because of reading. They believed that what I did was meaningful." Zhao Yirong said he hoped that the fate of more people could be changed by reading.
