I met Miss Yuan in the group of "Good Teachers in China". She sent me some articles written by the head teacher, and I was immediately impressed. These articles are all stories between Miss Yuan and her students. These stories seem ordinary, but they are very representative, because most schools, classes and families may repeat these stories every day. Children will always encounter similar problems when they grow up. How to solve these problems is what many teachers and parents have to face. So, what is Teacher Yuan's solution? Is it effective? The article attracted me to read one by one.
Later, I got to know Mr. Yuan better and found that her greatest feature is her admirable "love of beauty"! She loves life very much, always looking for beauty in life, and also has a pair of keen eyes that are good at discovering beauty. If the school needs photos for activities, it always asks her for them, because she usually takes a lot of beautiful photos. In her rare leisure time, she likes to enjoy an elegant and romantic environment in a quiet coffee shop or relax in beautiful nature. Usually she likes listening to music, and more spare time is spent reading books.
In the past, people often used the word "gardener" to describe teachers, and "gardener" was the most appropriate for Mr. Yuan. Every child has advantages. She can always find the beauty of this flash and make it shine. Every child has shortcomings. She always prunes branches with love to make them grow healthily. She and her students are bosom friends. Although there is a big difference in age, children like to call her "group sister". The class activities initiated by her are supported by beautiful logic, so they will certainly be welcomed by children (what I wrote here is more abstract and general, so I will share it in detail later). In short, Miss Yuan is worthy of the title of "the most beautiful female teacher"!
At that time, I was the editor-in-chief of a company owned by Guangxi Normal University Press, and I was planning to publish the series "The Cradle of Educators". Among them, the famous president of Guangdong Sihui, Duo Yingheng, is the first book in this series, which has been published. I think Mr. Yuan's class story is of universal educational significance and well written, which can be used as the author of the second book in this series. So Yuan and I agreed on the writing plan and publishing plan, and initially drafted the title "The most beautiful female teacher's classroom narrative". Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the publication of this book has been postponed temporarily, and it will take some time to be published (I will serialize the first draft of her book on the premise of obtaining the authorization of Teacher Yuan in due course, so that everyone can have a sneak peek).
I also love life very much, and similar hobbies make us good friends. On this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, Teacher Yuan told me that I must visit Changzhou. I also wanted to see this "most beautiful female teacher" up close, so I agreed.
Although I only interacted with Mr. Yuan online in the past, we didn't feel any sense of disobedience after meeting, just like old friends who have known each other for many years. She is no different from the image I imagined, but more energetic and romantic.
On the evening of his arrival in Changzhou, Mr. Yuan arranged dinner in a unique restaurant surrounded by green trees and flowers on the bank of the ancient canal. This yard was originally an abandoned factory, but Changzhou people are very creative. They transformed the factory into an "artistic dream workshop", including bars, cultural restaurants and many art studios. Teacher Yuan knew that I was interested in creativity, so she showed my husband and wife around.
The owner of the hotel where we ate used to be the parents of Mr. Yuan's students, and now their son is about to graduate from a famous American university. Talking about Mr. Yuan, the couple repeatedly lamented that the head teacher of their son's junior high school happened to be Mr. Yuan. Teacher Yuan played a key role in the child's growth. How lucky! At the dinner, there were also students who had been taught by Teacher Yuan in his early years. Although I have graduated for many years, I still have to consult her former class teacher when I meet something important. Accompanying me is Mr. Yuan's husband. He is a science and engineering student, rigorous in thinking and workaholic. He and Mr. Yuan are highly complementary and are a natural couple.
The next day, Mr. Yuan led us to visit Qingguo Lane, the first lane of celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River in Changzhou. Coincidentally, Qingguo Lane has been closed for maintenance since 20 1 1, and it was officially opened the day before we came. "A qingguo alley, half a history of Changzhou", an ancient street, has nurtured dozens of celebrities in the past century, including Sheng Xuanhuai, a pioneer of Westernization Movement, a novelist and model courtier in the early years of the Republic of China, Wu Ying, founder of the Palace Museum, Wu Zuguang, playwright, Qu Qiubai and Shi Liang, etc. What surprises me most is that Zhao Yuanren, a great educator, and Zhou Youguang, the father of Chinese Pinyin, were born here. This is the cradle of educators! Teacher Yuan told me that she couldn't wait to come here during her lunch break the day before, and she also came to savor it for a long time in the evening. I didn't tell her jokingly, I expect you to be a meritorious teacher who can go down in history.
Then, we went to Dongpo Garden. This is the former site of Su Dongpo, a great writer. We took photos beside Dongpo Gudu as a souvenir. There is a biography of Su Dongpo by Lin Yutang in Mr. Yuan's car, which is also very coincidental. A few days ago, my respected teacher organized a "* * * reading" activity, which included Su Dongpo's biography. I was too busy to attend. Teacher Yuan and I agreed that I would catch up and read and communicate together.
In the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Yuan will use the holiday to go to Suzhou to watch the live concert of the poet and singer. They drove us to Wuxi and we said goodbye.
Changzhou trip, unforgettable this wonderful date!
