Recently, an experience of Kelly, a professor at Southeast University, triggered a heated discussion among netizens. Due to the influence of typhoon mangosteen, Mr. Kelly's scheduled flight was cancelled. In order not to delay the students' first class, he took a taxi from Guangzhou for more than 700 kilometers to Changsha Airport. After many twists and turns, he finally returned to Nanjing and caught up with the next day's class. Netizens praised him as "a good teacher in China". It is understood that he has insisted that he has not transferred to the undergraduate course for 28 years. This stubbornness and persistence shows people's strong sense of responsibility, respect and love for education and students. ?
Education is rooted in love. Without love, there is no education. At the national conference on education held on September 10 Teacher's Day, leaders placed high hopes on building a high-quality and professional teaching staff, and put forward clear requirements for strengthening the construction of the teaching staff. Among them, it is particularly emphasized that "to be a teacher, we must persist in teaching and educating people, have the determination to love education, and be indifferent to fame and fortune". Some teachers prepare lessons all their lives, some teachers devote themselves to the three-foot platform all their lives, some teachers stand up when students are in danger, and some teachers are determined to conquer new knowledge and new learning despite difficulties, all because of their love for education and students. ?
Gorky said: "Whoever loves children will love them. Only those who love children can educate them. " Education is not a simple knowledge transfer, but a heart-to-heart communication. Only when a teacher has a kind heart, a moving heart, a nurturing heart and an emotional heart can he enter the students' hearts and make them "love their teachers" and "believe in their ways"; Teachers can only pour their warmth and emotion into every student with kindness, enhance students' self-confidence with appreciation, establish students' self-esteem with trust, and let every student grow up healthily and enjoy the joy of success; Teachers can only cultivate, inspire and spread love with love, better undertake the heavy responsibility of spreading knowledge, ideas, truth, shaping soul, life and new people, and cultivate more people with great love, virtue and affection. ?
Education is a cause of caring for people, and love is the soul of education. From teaching for more than 30 years, illuminating the wisdom of children's dreams in the depths of the mountains, to stopping to save students in an emergency but never waking up; From Wang Runtian, who is still unwilling to stay at home at the age of 76 and wants to give her children some useful guidance by exerting light and heat, to Yan, a post-90 s female teacher who changed from "don't want to stay" to "don't want to leave", it is these teachers who describe the spiritual background of people's teachers with kindness. A good teacher should be a kind teacher, and a person without love can't be a good teacher. In reality, some teachers divide students into grade three, grade six and grade nine, treat them differently, and turn the relationship between teachers and students into a relationship of "spending money on school and teaching". Some university teachers even regard students as "cheap labor". All this is the loss of kindness and morality that teachers should have. ?
Of course, advocating benevolence does not mean denying strict teachers. Educational styles can vary widely, but love is the eternal theme. On the premise of combining strictness with love, it is more helpful for students to open the door of knowledge and enlighten their minds by reasoning and moving people with emotion. Of course, a good teacher is not born, so that more teachers have a caring heart, and we need better education and guidance in practice. For example, among teachers and the whole society, vigorously carry forward the touching deeds of excellent teachers and the spirit of great love in the world, so as to better help teachers grow up and become good teachers that students like and admire.
Teachers are the foundation of establishing education and the source of promoting education. Teachers are kind-hearted. They regard peaches and plums all over the world and warm spring in bloom as glory, and regard shine on you as better than blue and stronger from generation to generation as happiness. Let us meet more good teachers unexpectedly. This is both personal and national luck. ?
Extended Reading: Two Other Excellent Composition Materials
The life code in our hearts.
As long as it is truly beautiful, it will be loved by thousands of people in Qian Qian, and this love will become a great driving force for cultural creation.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, at the invitation of the Forum for Dialogue among Civilizations, I hosted an international academic dialogue with the theme of "Traditional Festivals and Contemporary Values" at the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries. Ms Mariam Saeed, a young diplomat from Pakistan, gave a refreshing definition to traditional festivals. She said that festivals are not only the inheritance of culture, but also the ultimate expression of human pursuit of art.
This sentence is like a flash of lightning, which makes my eyes shine. I have a lingering sound, and this sentence has been lingering in my mind for several days.
We were born in the 1960s and grew up in the revolutionary era. When I was a child, the festivals marked red on the calendar board were all related to the revolution except the Spring Festival. Even during the Spring Festival, that era advocated "having a revolutionary Spring Festival". I still remember my father carrying tools to work on the morning of New Year's Day.
It was an era when material resources were scarce. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, several children at home got a moon cake. Children can't bear to eat it right away, and they will only eat it when they watch the moon with friends at night. The filling of moon cakes is mostly five kernels. My neighbor's aunt can bake moon cakes. Put the dough into a patterned wooden mold, and clusters of beautiful honeysuckle patterns will come out. The beauty of folk carpentry has deeply influenced my mind in the melody of streets and slogans.
Mid-Autumn Festival every year, full moon every year. Mid-Autumn Festival, together with moon cakes and reunion, is a deep wrinkle in my memory. In the 1990s, I studied at Kyoto University in Japan. Speaking of it, most important festivals in China, such as New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day and Double Ninth Festival, were introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty. However, the Mid-Autumn Festival is very special. Although in the Tang Dynasty, many people liked to enjoy and play with the moon on August 15th, it really became a big festival from the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty. Therefore, not only is there no Mid-Autumn Festival in Japanese court festivals, but most Japanese do not celebrate it, and there are no moon cakes on the market.
One Mid-Autumn Festival, I especially wanted to eat a piece of moon cake. I suddenly heard that there are moon cakes on Zhonghua Street in Kobe. So I went from Kyoto to Osaka and from Osaka to Kobe, and finally bought a box of moon cakes. There were many international students in Kyoto University at that time. This box of moon cakes is one for the owner, one for Lucy, and only one is left. When my family stood upstairs, cut the moon cakes into pieces and enjoyed the moon together, I would never forget the surging homesickness in my heart. The round moon cake on the plate has a simple Wan Fu pattern on its surface.
What is a festival? The "festival" in Chinese characters has profound ideological meaning. The original meaning of "festival" is taken from bamboo festival. We live in a time stream, and in a purely physical sense, the length of every day and hour is the same. However, our life needs to cut off this stream of time. This cutting point is the node. Festivals are a measure for the endless flow of time, and different nationalities give this measure meaning according to different natural conditions and cultures. August 15 is one of the twelve full moons every year. However, it is precisely because of the moon cakes wrapped in five kernels or jujube paste and engraved with honeysuckle or Wanfu patterns, and because of "the sea rises and the moon rises, the sky is beautiful at this time" and "May people live a long life, and the memories of family gatherings from childhood become full of warmth and peace, which has become the beauty and happiness of China people's hearts.
In 2008, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other traditional festivals were included in the national statutory holidays, which was a timely move to conform to the people's hearts. Since the reform and opening up, people's material life has become richer and richer, and the whole society has been developing and progressing. This is an era when we devote ourselves to the world, and it is also an era when the whole nation reorients itself in the face of the world. It is in this era that this great change in China's calendar is of great symbolic significance. It marks an ancient traditional festival that has grown up on the basis of China's agricultural civilization, and has been brought back into the field of contemporary China's cultural construction, marking the conscious road of China's cultural development.
In a blink of an eye, 10 years passed. Looking back, what is the development of traditional festivals in contemporary society? On the one hand, we are used to greeting each other on holidays, and mainstream media, business circles and tourism circles all try to make a fuss about traditional festivals; On the other hand, with the development of urbanization, the rural areas on which traditional festivals depend most are shrinking. Due to the small correlation with the real life of the city, the festival tradition is facing the risk of hollowing out. How to maintain festival folk customs? I think the most important thing is to increase people's participation. On the path, we must take art as the core.
"The Book of Filial Piety" says: "Changing customs, not good at music." Art is the ultimate expression of human culture. As long as it is truly beautiful, it will be loved by thousands of people in Qian Qian, and this love will become a great driving force for cultural creation. The Chinese nation is full of artistic creativity. A small dough is made into moon cakes of various shapes and patterns; A thin piece of paper will be cut into various beautiful window grilles. In the face of the changes of the times, only by giving full play to this creativity, respecting people's hearts, feelings and opinions, and using various means including modern science and technology to express traditional festival art in multiple ways, can we create a new festival cultural product that the people like and have strong appeal-it should be a product that is pleasing to the eye, moist and quiet, and can arouse people's spontaneous and conscious awareness of festival activities.
It's time to start from scratch and bring forth the new!
Mom and dad, just send it here.
Needle and thread in loving mother's hand, oranges in old father's arms. Sending a child's love is natural in ancient and modern times.
This month, colleges and universities started classes one after another, and many new parents sent their children to report for duty, carrying the heaviest bags on their backs. In a group of photos taken at the scene, there are parents with woven bags on their shoulders and flushed faces; Some parents ride bicycles with one hand, freeing up one hand to carry boxes, which is comparable to acrobatics; There are also parents who are well-off and have big bags on their chests. This kind of struggle will inevitably give netizens a first impression: poor family, parents, this heavy burden, are all heavy love!
However, some people have questioned whether parents are so "willing to be willing to be a willing ox" and will it be doting? Children are almost adults, why not let them learn to stand on their own feet?
Most school registrations are children's first trip away from home. Parents feel that their children are immature, or unwilling to be separated, or in order to enhance the sense of ceremony, they want to stay with their children for a few more days and then send them a ride. This kind of mood is understandable. The needle and thread in the loving mother's hand and the orange in the old father's arms feel the same when sending children.
Going to college is often not a simple parting, but an important node of parent-child relationship. There is a joke that children who go to college are like satellites launched into space. It is too difficult for them to return to the ground, and they can only communicate through signals. And the signal it sends back is usually simple-"Dad, Mom, it's time to pay the living expenses." There is also a sentence that parents often say before they set foot on their way home: "Son, we can only meet in winter and summer vacations." It can be seen that going to college really has a great influence. It is natural for parents to take this opportunity to express their feelings with weight.
However, children should also know that parents should bear it for me this time, which should be the last "adult ceremony"; Starting today, you should learn to bear the burden of life by yourself. Of course, parents can't help you with your studies. They must study hard and be worthy of tuition. In life, don't get into bad habits, don't be extravagant. If you have spare time to work and study, that is; As for finding a job in the future, you can't expect to "fight for dad", you have to be down-to-earth and compete with real skills. There are all kinds of feelings, big and small. Even if parents are willing to help, they should try to refuse: What heroes always give their parents trouble?
The so-called growth is the process of accumulating ability and cultivating ambition, so that you can have excellent qualities to cope with life experiences. Do your own thing and go your own way. Only in this way can you become an independent, qualified and capitalized person. Students, don't forget the people who once carried your burden. Please learn to struggle to become strong, take over your parents' luggage as soon as possible, and accompany them to happiness.
