After Mr. Zhang Huicong was transferred, the head teacher was changed to Mr. Yuan, whose name was Feng Kui and his pen name was Yuan Feng. He graduated from Zhuangyuan Village in Quzhou and taught us fine arts. Mr. Yuan is short, with thick hair, slightly curly, square face, thick eyebrows and round eyes, a movie star, slow speech and a strong Quzhou accent. I learned sketch, bamboo ink painting and plum blossom watercolor painting from my teacher. Although I have mastered some technical essentials and drawn some exercises that I think are acceptable, I am not interested after all, and I am too lazy to color and ink the paper. I only dealt with it for a period of time in class, rarely painted it after class, and even threw it away after graduation. So far, I don't have any painting skills, but it's a pity that Teacher Yuan has worked hard to cultivate them. Mr. Yuan was our head teacher before graduation. At that time, I only knew that his lover worked in the carpet factory in the east of the school.
Teacher Fan attended Professor Zhang Huicong's Selected Works and Writing class. Teacher Fan's name is Fan Zhiping. He graduated from Hebei Normal University and was born in Quzhou. He is thin, with his hair pressed to one side, his eyes narrowed and his chin tilted a little. He often wears a blue Chinese tunic suit, and he is slow and quiet when giving lectures, which is not so sonorous and interesting. Sometimes I feel sleepy in class, so I talk on the stage, read extracurricular books and write a composition or diary, but I am still interested in the course of anthology and writing.
Teacher Liu teaches calligraphy. He is a native of Jiangsu, graduated from a university in Beijing and was labeled as a rightist. At the age of 40, he married a local peasant woman. When I went to school in the early 1980s, he was nearly 50 years old, his children were still young, and his wife worked in the school cafeteria. He is of medium height, with a dark face, sparse hair, slightly convex eyes and great spirit. His most commonly used sentence is Wang Xizhi's eight-step sequence method. He wrote a preface in the air with his fingers, then opened his eyes wide, made a facial expression with a strange and exaggerated mouth, and solidified it into a gesture with his hands and feet. Then he explained how to write a good calligraphy by practicing the eight-step method of preface, which made us write a preface for a long time. Teacher Liu's teaching action is exaggerated and the atmosphere is active. He is also the director of the school. What impressed me deeply was that he talked about the benefits of keeping a diary and wrote an article and contributed it. I don't know if I have made it, but my literary accomplishment is really high. I once sent my composition exercise to him for correction, and the draft is still preserved. As soon as I left school, my calligraphy was lost again. When I was almost 50 years old, I hurriedly picked up calligraphy practice. I don't want to, a calligrapher was delayed like this. Of course, this is a joke. In the spring of 20 16, I went to my alma mater again. I met a classmate who stayed at school and asked about Mr. Liu. He said he died last winter, about 80 years old! I can't help feeling a little sad.
The teacher who teaches music is Mr Lu Shiying. He is a big man with a smile in his eyes. He is from Wu 'an, and his accent has a strong dialect flavor. In the early 1980s, when we first entered the campus, Taiwan Province campus songs were introduced to the mainland, and we had never seen a tape recorder. Teacher Lu had a music class and played songs such as Grandma's Penghu Bay, Walking Barefoot on the Ridge, and Country Road. Well said, let us get used to those "good socialism" and "sailing on the helmsman". Every time the song is played in class, the teacher in the middle teaches us to sing, and then the recording is played before class. Music class is really a pleasure, and we learn quickly. It's just that I learned the staff later, and watching those toad tadpoles jump up and down, I feel a little dizzy and can't remember clearly, and I don't think it's so interesting. Teacher Lu's vocal music is very good. Every holiday, the school will organize a get-together in the simple auditorium, and the students are shouting: Teacher Lu, here you are! Teacher Lu came on stage, accompanied by teacher Feng, who also taught music. Teacher Feng is good at instrumental music and plays the accordion skillfully. He is a small man with an avant-garde hairstyle and a perm. Because he teaches elementary classes, we don't have much contact with him, and we have never seen him sing on stage. Besides accordion, he can also play bamboo flute and erhu. Teacher Lu has a loud voice, which is Li Shuangjiang's singing method. He sang "Peach Blossoms in the Middle Reaches of Xiaozhu Paijiang River", "Spring in the Northland", "Song of Boat in Wusuli" and "Song of Peony". At the get-together, the students also showed their talents. Xue's flute solo "Commune Members Give Fat Busy", "Beautiful Grassland My Home" and Wang Jianguo's "My China Heart" won applause from students. It was a spring when literature flourished, and it was also an era when we broadened our horizons and absorbed new knowledge and nutrition. We are immersed in joy and excitement every day. After we graduated, Mr. Lu was transferred to the city to promote Mandarin, and we seldom met. A few years ago, he died of a heart attack, only in his fifties, leaving us only memories and nostalgia.
