Chapter 37: Accelerated Middle School
Later, the "love bell" developed again.
One day, I saw a book on my desk, picked up the book, and suddenly found a photo of dawn under the book, with a few small characters written on the back: "Help her more", and the words "confidant" written on the register. Afraid that others would see me, I hurriedly put a luō in the drawer, and she glanced at me and smiled secretly, while my heart pounded. She was so amorous, and I was "holding my ground", keeping a little distance from her---- a very painful distance.
At that time, there was discipline in the troops: gay men could only fall in love and marry people from the "284 regiment". The so-called "28" means that the male is at least 28 years old, "4" is more than four years of military experience, and "regiment" refers to cadres at or above the regimental level. Officers below the battalion level are not allowed to fall in love or get married. But lesbians are not limited by age or position, otherwise, they will be severely punished, so I can only bury my love deep in my heart.
At the end of 1953, she was suddenly transferred to Beijing to work, and her mood became agitated, and she often became angry for no reason. I could only comfort her: "You go away and fly high, I don't deserve it." "But I'm sadder than anything else.
One day, while we were walking on the road outside the barracks, she suddenly said innocently but firmly, "Let's get married...... I was startled, shook my head, and said, "That's going to be punished." She cried helplessly, crying very sadly, twisting her little temperament and refusing to go to distant Beijing!
She grabbed my hand tightly and shook it hard. "I'm not going, I'm not going,...... It's so unfair!" Yes, the system "formatted" us! I was also sad and silent, and my comfort was superfluous, feeble nonsense. We have all fallen into the abyss of painful love.
A few days before we left, we walked hand in hand on the railroad for an afternoon, and we were very depressed because of our hearts, and our hearts were filled with lead. Her eyes were swollen with tears, and even though she had a thousand tears, she couldn't express the pain in her heart. I was so pained that I was silent, my hands were clasped tightly together, unwilling to separate, not far from the barracks, and I suddenly said: "If you want to hate, hate me to death!" I only blame me for not being a regiment-level cadre! With a shake of my hand, I walked painfully towards the barracks dormitory.
When it was time to separate, I went to see her off, she glared at me fiercely, tears flowed out, I forced a smile, but there was no word of blessing, "We are so fateless!" ”
She is gone, thus ending this repressed and romantic episode on the road of life.
Later, she found the ideal Prince Charming in Beijing and sent me a photo of the man sitting in the pocket of his three-wheeled motorcycle, sitting on the driver's seat, holding the handlebars with both hands, smiling, and still so cute.
As the teaching gradually becomes formalized, the students are more motivated. These veterans have good political quality, many party and league members, rich experience, respect for teachers very much, do not put old qualifications, are willing to learn and ask questions, and also love to drill the horns, we teach our own courses with great enthusiasm, and the division leaders often come to visit you and give guidance from time to time. President Jia has discussions with the faculty and staff from time to time to solve problems at any time, providing great protection for the students in life and encouraging everyone to be positive politically, which is a great encouragement to everyone.
The cultural leading group of the military region also came to the school many times to inspect the quality of teaching, and in the random test, the general examination, and the oral examination, the cadets all achieved a score of four or more (at that time, the Soviet Union's five-point scoring system was learned), and many of them reached a score of five. The military region's cultural leading group affirmed that the teaching method of the accelerated primary school is in line with reality and is effective, and praised it: It is a miracle that the cadets can reach the level of graduates of the upper grades of primary school within two years. In the region-wide small language and arithmetic competitions, the nine small schools won the excellent, which shows how much effort the leaders and all the staff have made!
At the end of May 1954, after the completion of the nine-speed small task and the graduation ceremony, the principal announced the cancellation of the ninth speed small number according to the instructions of the military region, and the teachers were reassigned.
At the end of the month, we put on our backpacks, gathered at the 8th Regiment of Xiaoshiba Artillery, held a farewell party and went to work.
The No. 3 Accelerated Middle School of the Nanzhao Provincial Military Region is located on the slope of a small hill east of Wujiaba Airport in the suburbs of Chuncheng, and the highway from Chuncheng to Chenggong passes through the west of the school. To the south of the campus is the student dormitory and teaching area, and in the middle is a large playground. There is a large temporary grass hut on the west side of the playground, which is the meeting place, which can accommodate thousands of people to sit on the ground for meetings.
To the north are faculty dormitories, offices, and laboratories. The east side is the dormitory and office of the head of the school, and then there is a small bungalow to the east, there are gardens, small pavilions, small bridges, parking lots next to the bungalows, surrounded by evergreen privet bushes, the environment is beautiful, elegant, the birds depend on people, the scenery is picturesque, it is said that this is the residence of Chennault, the captain of the Flying Tigers.
The original bunkers and sentry posts here were demolished after liberation. The entire school building is surrounded by tall eucalyptus trees, which often emit a characteristic fragrance that is said to repel ants. Although the school building is old, the campus is open, quiet and elegant.
There are also many teachers, with university qualifications, technical secondary schools, and the lowest are high school graduates. The teaching group has research groups such as Chinese, mathematics, physics and chemistry, history and geography (including nature), politics, etc., with a principal and deputy leader and a head of teaching and research, but there is no foreign language. I was divided into the history group, and then transferred to the physics and chemistry group, all of which are in line with my profession.
The teaching equipment is relatively complete, with all kinds of books, materials, physical and chemical instruments, animal and plant specimens, historical and geographical models, wall charts, etc. The state is willing to invest in cultivating talents.
The trainees are battalion and company-level cadres selected from various armies, divisions, and regiments, as well as a small number of outstanding platoon commanders, and they can only be enrolled if they have graduated from primary school or above. There are more than 800 students and nearly 1,000 faculty members.
Implement collective office and class preparation. Before the lecture, you must try to teach, and only after passing the evaluation can you enter the classroom teaching. The preparation steps followed the Soviet model (very mechanical). Sometimes, it is the teaching and research group that sends people to teach in a model, try to teach, or give lectures on a certain topic or conduct a certain experiment, so as to play an exemplary and guiding role. This is beneficial for both new and experienced faculty. Our teachers come from different units, and under the same goal, there is no phenomenon of "literati are inferior to each other", and they can all study with an open mind, guard against arrogance and rashness, so the teaching atmosphere is very strong.
The principal of the third speed middle school is called Qiao Yuanfang, the vice principal is Du Jing, and the director of academic affairs is a lecturer at a university transferred from the border column. They are all experts in running schools, with rich teaching experience, and the school leadership team is effectively led, often going deep into each teaching group to participate in trial lectures, listen to lectures, and also check the preparation of teachers.
During holidays, the two principals invited teachers to their small garden from time to time to visit and discuss, and many problems were solved, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates was closer, so they were respected and loved by teachers and students.
At that time, most of the students were in their 30s, generally older, unmarried, and a small number of them had been in trouble because of this, asking to go to the place, and did not feel at ease to study. From the needs of the motherland to their personal responsibilities to society, the two leaders tirelessly talked heart-to-heart and did ideological work, and finally put a stop to the big and small turmoil.
