When Tianjin invaded China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the city wall was pushed to it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

More and more residents from outside the city are gathering in the east, west, north and south, and the houses are built in a mess, without an overall plan at all, and they look like slums in the blink of an eye.

Because of the cheap prices in the suburbs, all the four hope primary schools in Tianjin are built in the suburbs. Children in the city have to walk long distances to get to school, but children in the nearby "slums" have easy access to them.

Early in the morning, Zhou Hexuan and Feng Yong came to the school, and they also brought more than a dozen policemen.

Nearly 20 people were crammed into a mud hut that was used to store miscellaneous items, such as chalk and triangular rulers.

Although it has been less than a month since the start of the school year, the mental outlook of these children has changed a lot. The studious sat in the classroom and read aloud, and the playful gathered on the playground to play, and the whole campus seemed very energetic.

Feng Yong stood leaning against the door, looking at the children playing outside, and smiled sincerely: "This can be regarded as a pure land in the troubled times." ”

"Thanks to you." Zhou Hexuan patted his ass.

"Hahaha, I love to hear that." Feng Yong laughed proudly.

Zhou Hexuan suddenly saw a familiar figure, he beckoned and shouted, "Zhang Xiaowu, come here!" ”

The newsboy ran to him with his schoolbag on his back, bowed, and said, "Hello sir! ”

"Yes, very polite," Zhou Hexuan smiled, "What have you learned these days?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I have learned a lot of words, including middle, human, earth, mountain, river, fire, water, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, ......."

"Amazing, I've learned so much in more than half a month." Zhou Hexuan praised.

Zhang Xiaowu said happily: "It's all Teacher Wen who teaches well. ”

"Let's go play." Zhou Hexuan patted his head and said.

Waiting for Zhang Xiaowu to run away, Feng Yongcai smiled and said: "This kid is very clever, maybe he can have a big future in the future." ”

"That's why we have to run schools and engage in education." Zhou Hexuan also smiled.

Education in the early Republic of China was divided into three types: popular education, civilian education, and popular education.

To put it bluntly, popular education is to open up the wisdom of the people, including speeches, newspapers, propaganda centers, libraries, etc., all of which belong to the category of popular education. Strive to increase people's knowledge, broaden their horizons, accept new things, and so on.

Civilian education, that is, school education in the traditional sense, strives to make knowledge accessible to more school-age children and low-literacy groups.

Popular education was born during the Northern Expedition, and scholars believed that men and women, young and old, rich and poor, had the right to education. It is the basic education for out-of-school children, youth, and adults, as well as the continuing education and further education of the population with a basic cultural foundation - which is equivalent to eradicating illiteracy and improving the cultural quality of the people.

In fact, since the end of the Qing Dynasty, simple schools similar to Hope Primary Schools have begun to appear across the country, which were donated and organized by local gentry and celebrities. The content of the lectures includes self-cultivation, literacy and abacus, that is, moral education, Chinese and mathematics, and the ideas are similar to those of Zhou Hexuan, and the tuition fees are also waived and books are distributed.

In addition, there are open-air schools, half-day schools for the poor, etc., all of which are set up for the literacy of poor children.

Although the Qing government and the successive governments of the Republic of China did not do their best, the activities of non-governmental people in running schools have not stopped. The Chinese nation's ability to stand firm for thousands of years is inseparable from advocating education. If you look at the education situation in India in later generations, you can see how big the gap is between countries.

There is a folk educator named Lin Moqing in Tianjin, who opened 6 free primary schools (boys' schools) in the late Qing Dynasty, and later established 11 girls' primary schools in conjunction with the government and the gentry. However, such schools often do not last long, and donations cannot keep up, so they have to suspend classes, causing many children to drop out of school for the second time.

By the way, this old Mr. Lin Moqing is 64 years old, and although his health is not good, he was still invited by Zhang Xueliang to serve as the honorary president of the "China Hope Education Foundation Tianjin Branch".

Today's first class is mathematics, the teacher's name is Zhang Yan, graduated from the provincial Tianjin Normal High School. Although Zhang Yan has become a teacher, he is actually less than 20 years old, and he is also from a poor background, because the normal school can continue to receive education without tuition.

"In the last class, we finished learning the numbers within 100, and today we are going to teach the students addition. Addition and subtraction are very useful and are usually used when buying things. After learning addition and subtraction, you will be able to calculate the salary of your work in the future. What I'm going to learn today is 1+1=2......"

Just when the math teacher was in class, some idlers gradually came outside the classroom, and they were lying outside the window and talking, seemingly dissatisfied with Zhang Yan. Some people even urged Zhang Yan to get out of class early and change the imperial concubine's teacher to teach, and they all came to see the imperial concubine.

Feng Yong poked his head out of the utility room and looked at it, and said with disdain: "A group of fools! ”

"Huh." Zhou Hexuan smiled helplessly.

finally waited for Wen Xiu to go to class, and the group of idlers finally became excited-

"What a princess!"

"This Dao Concubine is not good-looking, no wonder the emperor wants to divorce her."

"It's not Hugh, it's Concubine Dao who took the initiative to divorce the emperor."

"Don't keep women's ways, don't keep women's ways."

"Yes, a woman shows up all day long, how can she marry in the future."

“……”

Wen Xiu stood on the podium, listening to the buzzing sound outside the classroom, she was already annoyed in her heart. Being watched as a monkey every day makes it uncomfortable for anyone to change.

Suddenly, another large group of people appeared at the school, all of them to make trouble.

These old and young people probably knew the class schedule, so they actually ran over the time, stood outside the classroom and began to shout insults. The content is filthy and hard to hear.

An old man in a silk shirt shouted: "The dignified concubine, deviant, this is the shame of China!" ”

"Thief woman, if you betray the emperor, you should be in the eighteenth layer of hell!" Another guy with pigtails yelled.

"Looking at her triangular eyes and thin lips, you know that she is a vicious and bitter person. The life of being a prostitute all his life, and having the face to be a teacher, is simply misleading. The man scolded even harder.

didn't listen to a few words, Zhou Hexuan said in a cold tone: "Arrest people!" ”

More than a dozen policemen flocked out, and they all received Zhou Hexuan's benefit fee, so they naturally had the motivation to get things done. One by one carried batons, and beat people violently when they caught them, including those idlers who watched the excitement.

"The police have killed someone!"

"What are you arresting me for, I didn't break the law!"

"It's you who arrests you, it's a big crime to disrupt teaching, you can shoot you."

"Shot? I'll just watch the excitement. ”

"Arrest them all, and if you don't want to go to jail, you will pay a fine of 20 oceans!"

"Help!"

"If you want to run, if you run again, you'll shoot! All crouch! ”

What does it mean to fight evil with evil?

Here it is.

It's not clear to reason with those guys, and you won't have a long memory if you don't fight.

Feng Yong laughed happily when he saw the embarrassed appearance of those people.

Zhou Hexuan said: "Let's go, don't delay the students' classes." ”

Maybe it was because Zhou Hexuan was unfavorable for the year, and Wenxiu's matter had just been successfully resolved, but there was another accident at the Hope Primary School in the north of the city.

The school in the north of the city was rebuilt from an abandoned elementary school. The principal's name is Wang Ziqi, the first talent in the late Qing Dynasty, and he complained to Zhou Hexuan: "Mr. Zhou, the students are almost finished, and if this continues, I, the principal, will be the commander of the light pole." ”

"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhou Hexuan said speechlessly, why are there so many broken things.

Wang Ziqi recounted: "I have a student named Zhou Hang, his father was a murderer who was shot, and his mother was a lowly prostitute, barely supporting her family with money. It was good, but other parents got the news out of nowhere, and collectively ran to the school to protest and demand that Zhou Hang be expelled. ”

"It's their business!" Zhou Hexuan said foully.

"They said that they were afraid of their children, and being classmates with the murderer's son would be ruined," Wang Ziqi said regretfully, "That Zhou Hang is very smart, has the ability to never forget, and was considered a prodigy in ancient times, maybe he can also take the top prize." I regretted that I was reluctant to expel them, and as a result, many students dropped out of school, and it was all caused by parents. ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "This kind of thing should be handled by the Student Affairs Office under the Foundation Secretariat, why did you come to me?" ”

"There is a lot of controversy in the Student Affairs Office, some think that they should be expelled, and some insist that they cannot be expelled," Wang Ziqi said bitterly, "I went to President Feng, and he asked me to come to you." ”

"This Feng Lao Wu will shirk his responsibility," Zhou Hexuan thought for a while and said, "I'll solve this matter, you can go back first." ”

How to solve Zhou Hexuan?

Of course, it is the newspaper that creates public opinion, anyway, "Ta Kung Pao" is worried that its sales are not growing fast, and it is time to create a sharp topic.

The next day, the second edition of Ta Kung Pao had a special news story called "Do the sons of murderers and prostitutes have the right to education?"
