体裁 记叙文 话题 实践乡村教育梦
Born in Nanchang city, Jiangxi Province, in 1961, Zhi Yueying wanted to become a teacher since childhood. She applied to work as a teacher at the primary school in Niyang village after graduation.
When Zhi, then 19, went to the village in Yichun city, Jiangxi Province, to work as a village teacher in 1980, villagers were doubtful if she was going to stay long. After all, a number of voluntary teachers had arrived before, but all had left soon after.
Located in the mountains, the village was very poor and far from any town. Villagers had to hike in the mountains since there was no road. Zhi was shocked by the poor conditions there. She had known the conditions were poor, but the reality was worse. The blackboard, door and windows of the school were in a state of disrepair, some chairs had legs missing, and desks were pieced together at different heights.
Moreover, local people needed to go downhill to buy daily goods, and transport them back in their hands or balance them across their shoulders with the help of a carrying pole. Zhi had never walked uphill on a mountain road before, so she walked much more slowly than others. Sometimes she had to walk uphill by herself with a flashlight at night. The wild boars and rabbits sometimes frightened her and she boosted her courage by singing loudly.
But she gradually got used to her life there. In the beginning, she found many local people valued their sons far more than their daughters, and would not like to let their daughters attend school. Zhi went to their homes repeatedly and gradually persuaded them to send all their children to school. For those who could not afford the tuition, she spent her own money to help them. She knows that education is an essential part of her efforts to help students escape poverty.
In 2012, Zhi was assigned to work in another school in the town and could leave the mountain area, but she refused and applied to go to the Baiyang village school, which is situated even more remotely in the mountains where she remains.
Over the years, more than 1,000 students of hers have left there and lived a better life. “Seeing them achieve progress, I'm so happy that I feel richer than any millionaire,” said Zhi.
