CHAPTER XVIII

The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year.

The two-month nursing school life was fleeting, and Zhao Hongyi ushered in the second year of his normal era. The campus, which has been deserted for a long time, is once again lively. First, the old students returned to school, followed by the enrollment of the 1992 freshmen, military training, and another group of young people started a new normal life.

Class 5 of the ninth grade changed the homeroom teacher. The new head teacher is called Li Ruhua, graduated from the Department of History of Chang'an Normal University, is short, very spiritual, talented, and is the main member of the school's amateur football team. Zhao Hongyi met Mr. Li when he was nursing school during the summer vacation, and he was one of the substitute teachers of the nursing team at that time, and the two quickly became friends. Knowing that Mr. Li was going to be the head teacher, Zhao Hongyi was very happy.

Mr. Li has just graduated from Normal University for less than two years, and he still exudes the bookish atmosphere of a college student. After he took over as the head teacher, his philosophy of managing the class was to believe in the students, rely on the students, and implement self-management. This is very different from the first-grade homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang Dashun, who is very detailed, has strict requirements, and follows up at any time.

The new official took office three times, and Mr. Li was no exception. The first class meeting he held was a democratic vote to re-elect the class committee. The first class committee was appointed by the original class teacher, Mr. Wang Dashun, and it has now been a year. Some members are average and cannot convince the public, some members are tired of being cadres and want to quit, while some students with strong ability and desire to exercise their abilities hope to become a member of the class committee through fair elections. This is the same as in "The Siege": the people in the city want to come out, and the people outside the city want to go in.

By visiting students, Mr. Li adopted the method of recommendation and self-recommendation, and all class committee positions were determined according to the difference of 2:1. Candidates are asked to spend a week or so building momentum, contacting the voters (all students in the class) to promote their platforms and seek support. Candidates are also required to prepare a campaign speech for about 3 minutes in advance, and give an unscripted speech at the class meeting on Monday, and the final class committee candidate will be decided by secret ballot.

As soon as the plan was announced, it aroused the enthusiasm of the students who participated in the election as never before. In order to solicit votes, some students did everything they could. These tricks range from upright conspiracies to unsightly conspiracies. There are those who invite them to dinner, those who are not good at coming forward to ask others to say hello, and those who take the initiative to have a relationship with the homeroom teacher, which is not lively for a while.

Monday's class meeting turned into a lively campaign meeting. The speeches of the candidates were very good, and they made generous statements on their understanding of the positions they were running, their motivations for running for office, their policy agenda, and their goals and tasks. The applause in the classroom also came and went, and the passion of the students was ignited again and again.

If you want to write good poems, you need to work outside of poems. In fact, campaign speeches are just a formality, and it is basically clear before the election who is elected and who loses. After more than a year of getting along, whose conduct is what, whose ability level is what, everyone is blind and eats fireflies - their hearts are lit up. Zhao Hongyi did not participate in this election, he is already a student union officer of the school, and now he is thinking about going to university, and he does not want to focus on these cumbersome class management affairs. For this election, he is willing to be an observer state, looking at "the bustle in the class, all for fame, and the bustle in the class, all for profit", he has a kind of detachment that looks at the world with cold eyes.

Sun Hao became the democratically elected squad leader, Li Fang became the secretary of the Youth League branch, and other class committee members were also elected. The new class committee soon convened the first class committee to study the key work of the class this semester, and established the key points of governance in many aspects, such as learning leadership, discipline first, health first, activity characteristics, and outstanding ability. The new class committee members have geared up and decided to do a big job, never disappointing the trust of the class teacher, Mr. Li and the students, so that Class 5 will become the vanguard of the whole grade and even the whole school.

Two courses have been added this semester, one is History, the teacher is the class teacher Mr. Li, and the other is Psychology, and the teacher is Chen Hu. The algebra teacher was replaced by Cheng Xinfen, a female teacher over half a hundred years old, and the anthology and writing were replaced by Zhou Benning, a middle-aged teacher who graduated from the Chinese Department of the Chinese Normal College of Chung.

History is interesting, but there are a lot of knowledge points that need to be memorized, and every year many students are knocked out and take the make-up exam.

"What is history? History is the discipline of documenting and interpreting historical events as a series of human processes. What exactly is the purpose of studying history? ”

At the beginning of the class, Mr. Li threw out the concept and function of the history subject, explaining the historical experience of Shi Dakai's defeat of the Dadu River when the Red Army's Long March passed through the Dadu River, and the fact that Commander Liu quickly passed through the Yi area after forming an alliance with Xiao Yedan, the leader of the Yi nationality, and successfully got out of danger, telling everyone that history often has amazing similarities, learning history is of practical significance, learning history makes people wise, and history can tell us the future.

Mr. Li is very humorous, he said that the memory of many historical names and place names should play an imaginative function, such as remembering the founder of Buddhism, Gautama. When Siddhartha was a popular name, he gave an example of how when they were in college, some of their classmates remembered it vividly: "Pick a big bun, sparse a lot" (Gautama. Siddhartha), so that everyone could not help but laugh at the same time, and at the same time, they remembered the name of the Buddha forever.

Psychology is a very important professional subject for students in normal schools. Before the class started, many students thought that this course was nothing more than guessing people's mental activities, thinking that if they learned it well, they could know what people were thinking like a fortune teller.

"Psychology is the science that studies psychological phenomena and the laws of their activity. His research focuses on individual psychology and social psychology. Individual psychology can be divided into two aspects: psychological process and personality psychology, the psychological process includes cognitive process, emotional process and volitional process, and personality psychology can be divided into two aspects: personality tendency and personality psychological characteristics......"

Mr. Chen Hu gave a scientific interpretation of the concept of psychology in the first class, and as soon as he opened the conversation, it was like a river of water.

Zhao Hongyi learned for the first time that mental activity should be the activity of the brain, not the activity of the heart. Psychology is instructive for all areas of human practice, and the study of psychology helps to promote people's physical and mental development, maintain mental health, and then improve people's quality of life. The scope of psychological research is too wide, the role is too important, educational psychology is only a branch of psychology, as a future teacher, if you don't understand educational psychology, many times it will be like a blind man riding a horse into the abyss, which is very dangerous.

Teacher Chen Hu is as his name suggests, and when he talks about the class, he is full of strength, and all kinds of psychological knowledge are like treasures, and he tells them eloquently. Through the study of psychology, everyone gradually understands psychological phenomena such as psychological substance, feeling, perception, memory, thinking, imagination, attention, emotion, will, etc., understands some personality psychological characteristics, knows temperament and personality types, understands Ebbinghaus's law of forgetting, and knows Maslow's hierarchy of needs...... People think it's so much fun to study psychology.

Listening to the senior students, Mr. Chen Hu is very strict with students, everyone is never allowed to make small actions in the classroom, or whisper below, he invigilates seriously, and never allows students to cheat, and is known as one of the "four killer teachers" in the invigilation industry of Liangzhou Second Division.

It is said that one year, he took a class of students, and when his eyebrows were dancing and the class was in full swing, there was a boy and a girl at the same table talking in a whisper, and he looked at it a few times, but neither of them was aware of it, and it was still the same. He then became furious and yelled, "You have to fall in love and go to the dormitory, don't disturb everyone!" This boy was young and vigorous, and as soon as he stood up, he said: "Chen Hu, you are a hooligan!" The results can be imagined, that year failed the exam, failed the make-up exam, and re-examined again on the eve of graduation, but still failed, so the student failed to get the graduation certificate. After a year on the job, he came to the school to take the make-up exam again, but he still failed the exam. The student became angry and threatened him, "If you don't give me a pass again, I'll jump off the building with you!" He said calmly: "In that case, I am a martyr, and you are a counter-revolutionary." In the end, the principal couldn't see it and said a lot of good things to him, which allowed the student to pass the make-up exam a year after graduation and get his graduation certificate.

The above story is just a rumor, and the students of Class 5 have not verified it, so I don't know if it is made up. This also forced everyone to have a twelve-point spirit in every class of psychology, for fear that something would go wrong and offend "Chen Laohu".
