Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Labor Propaganda Team

Less than a year after the resumption of classes, in the summer and autumn of 1968, in view of the continuous factional fighting in some schools, it became increasingly intense. The upper echelons of the www.biquge.info issued a final directive, demanding that the red ideological propaganda teams composed of workers and the People's Liberation Army should all enter the schools in the capital to lead the superstructure.

Therefore, by September of this year, there were more than 37,000 workers and military propaganda teams stationed in schools in Beijing. The rotation system of the work propaganda team and the military propaganda team has been implemented, and the number one leader of the school has been completely replaced by the leader of the labor propaganda team or the military propaganda team.

Not to mention, the work propaganda team has really achieved remarkable results. The chaotic situation in primary and secondary schools was immediately improved, and order was greatly restored.

Then some people have to ask, what is the power of the labor propaganda team?

Actually, that's because the labor propaganda team is completely composed of a group of ordinary workers. Unlike the military training corps, it is necessary to consider the image, consider the impact. The members of the labor propaganda team are all big and coarse, dare to be brutal, and dare to violate policies. Anyway, there are great leaders poking in the back, everything is reckless, and there are many people, so they are naturally invincible in the school. At once, the "thorns" who dared to jump were made obedient.

However, in this social environment at that time, there were still some special cases.

For example, the propaganda team of Banbuqiao Elementary School was composed of workers from the Nanhengjie Coal Factory, and Chen Deyuan not only delayed the deadline before sending people in, but also only sent six people.

Why?

It turned out that the main reason was that the tasks of the coal plant were increasing year by year, and they were too busy. As the direct leader of the coal plant, Chen Deyuan's idea was to focus the strength of the whole plant on ensuring production and coal sources, so he only symbolically carried out the orders of his superiors and transferred a small number of manpower. And the ones sent by him are almost all "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" who are not very good at their work or have physical problems.

But even so, under the slogan of "the working class leads everything", the entry of the workers' propaganda team was still a big deal. Therefore, in the midst of the noise of gongs and drums, the labor propaganda team of only six people in the coal plant successfully took over the power of the school from the hands of the "school reform committee".

However, unlike other schools, the work propaganda team of Banbuqiao Primary School did not burn the "three fires of the new official" after they settled in. Moreover, the task assigned by the higher authorities to "continue to carry out class inventory and identify and conceal the bad elements of historical problems" was also lax.

In fact, they just called the math teacher Wang, who had already been identified and had participated in the Three Youth League in junior high school, and Fu Liu Fatzi, a canteen master who had served as a cook in the Three People's Party army, to the "command post" converted into the principal's office for a lecture, and then held an extremely civilized criticism meeting on the playground. It is not like other schools, where it is necessary to investigate to the end, and it is not over until a few "hostile elements" who are "lurking in the depths" come out.

This inevitably made all the faculty and staff secretly relieved in their hearts, and they were glad that the school had a group of "superiors" who were reasonable and sympathetic.

Especially Chang Xianzhang, because of his father's classification as the "old right", he has been worried about the work propaganda team since he came, lest the iron fist of the labor propaganda team continue to exert its power and find him out as the next enemy. Now that he has witnessed this situation, his heart is naturally much lighter.

But what Chang Xianzhang didn't expect was that three days later, Chen Deyuan, the direct leader of the labor propaganda team, came to the school to inspect the work, and even named him and asked to meet him alone in the "command post" of the principal's office.

It was only at this time that Chang Xianzhang realized that the reason why the school did not set off a new "political storm" was entirely because the "Director Chen" had made some instructions in advance, asking the members of these work propaganda teams not to "make trouble for nothing", as long as the stability and unity of the school were maintained, everything would be as usual. and also named and made some "special explanations", that is, the work propaganda team must not be embarrassed by him.

At this moment, Chang Xianzhang completely let go of the burden in his heart, and felt sincerely lucky that this "Director Chen" was a reasonable person, not the kind of coarse man who didn't understand anything.

In fact, there are some things that don't need to be said in depth, because all this is clearly a reward for teaching those two children to read.

So, either out of gratitude, or for this rare understanding, Chang Xianzhang was particularly talkative in front of Chen Deyuan, not only saying anything about his views on work, but also truthfully answering the most curious question in Chen Deyuan's heart.

"How did you stop Hong Yanwu's kid? You can make him settle down and read and write? You know, that kid is a dog with a temper, but he's not even afraid of strips......"

"First of all, we all have to admit that children are active by nature, and they always have endless energy to release. Especially in this period, because there are few serious things for children to do, there are few things that can interest children, so children are becoming more and more noisy. I don't need to go into detail about the specific situation, the 'chaos' in society already explains everything.

So, you have to ask me how I manage my students. That's actually one - don't let your child be 'idle'!

Imagine, if we can help the child find the serious things he is interested in and teach him how to do the serious things, he will no longer think about crooked things. Because no matter how much energy a person has, it is also limited, as long as he is attracted to serious things, he will not have the energy to be busy with other things.

In addition, even if it can make the child find a place of interest. But how to guide, how to teach, and how to ask is also a very important aspect.

In fact, like most people, I have always advocated strict governance. If you ask my colleagues in the past 15 years, it can be said that everyone knows my "strictness".

However, unlike others, in addition to thinking that 'strictness' not only lies in having a higher goal and a higher standard, 'strictness' also lies in formulating a reasonable implementation method for how to achieve that higher goal, and implementing it meticulously, rather than just being strict in teaching attitude.

Because although 'strictness' is not a bad thing, if it is not strict, it becomes a problem. For example, if that high standard is divorced from reality, and if it is difficult to achieve it even if we try harder, it will be too strict. If the strict standards are not appropriate, any meticulous and strict requirements can only make people gradually lose confidence and lose their fighting spirit.

The focus is on step-by-step, that is, step-by-step, step-by-step.

The goal should be set in a ladder-like shape, let him climb up step by step, and with each level of climbing, he can enjoy the joy of success and increase the motivation and courage to move forward. In this case, it is possible to achieve meticulous requirements and to accept harsh criticism in guidance.

Whether it is to educate students or educate children, it is not okay to be impatient, blindly preaching, simply criticizing and even beating and scolding with sticks is not enough, we must encourage and encourage him more, let him see the results, see the light, let him firm his beliefs, full of confidence.

Originally, when I was in class, I was most afraid of being asked questions by the teacher, and I was most afraid of being criticized, and I couldn't listen to anything I said nervously, and I couldn't answer what I would be asked about. On the contrary, if the teacher can compliment me on my quick understanding and quick response, I will be very happy and even listen more attentively. So, I do the same with Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.

In my case, it is actually extremely simple to find their interests first, and then give them positive guidance and encouragement, so that they will have more interest, more initiative, and harder to learn. At the same time, if they have trust in the person who guides them, then they will naturally listen to that person......"

These words really made Chen Deyuan suddenly realize.

He recalled Hong Yanwu's growth process, and recalled that most parents raised and educated their children, and at least two points were unsuccessful.

The first is that the "strict" goals and standards are often set too high and divorced from reality, and the second is that there is too little praise and too much criticism. Including himself, he is rarely reasonable, and speaks directly with a stick a lot.

At this point, he can be said to have great admiration for Chang Xianzhang, a teacher, and he is very glad that the two children met a teacher who understands. So, he repeatedly asked Chang Xianzhang to bother teaching the two children.

At the same time, for this matter, he also opened the door to convenience, and authorized Chang Xianzhang not to participate in the "heart-to-heart conversation" and "ideological review" organized by the labor propaganda team. As for the hat of "old right child" on his body, he only needs to write a simple "thought report" every month and hand it in.
