PS: Chapter 2 is coming ^_^

On the target plane, in late August 1943, Wang Fan sat in the aircraft and flew towards the south of the Yanhuang Continent while stealth.

"Where are you going this time?" Yadi asked in Wang Fan's brain.

"Chongqing!" Wang Fan replied succinctly.

"What? Chongqing? What are you doing there? When Yadi heard this, she asked with some surprise and surprise.

"For two people!"

"Oh, which two?"

"South Tao and North Yan, that is, Tao Xingzhi and Yan Yangchu!" Wang Fan replied, "You heard yesterday's discussion about the Republic of China, Yadi, right?" ”

"Well, that sounds interesting!"

"I thought about it last night, and now on the target plane, we have no shortage of masters and grandmasters in the ideological and spiritual worlds, but there is an extreme lack of practical educators who are willing to put down their bodies and go to the countryside to enlighten the peasants who account for 80% of the total population of Yanhuang in person, so I want to go to Chongqing and tie up two people to come back." Wang Fan, who is going to be a trafficker this time, said very calmly.

"Tao Xingzhi and Yan Yangchu? They should be the so-called civilian educators you urgently need, but it seems that the reputation of later generations is very insignificant, what achievements have they made? Although Yadi has a lot of information through the Internet, she doesn't know everything, so she asked.

"Ah, they, if you want me to evaluate, the most important thing is to do it yourself, and stand on the front line of promoting civilian education all their lives. I didn't sit in a room and talk leisurely, as many masters do. They really go deep into the countryside, sincerely go to enlightenment, and to build. Wang Fan checked a lot of information yesterday, and now he said: "Let's talk about Yan Yangchu first, because he later went to Taiwan with the bald party, so in the history of the Yanhuang Continent, the main plane, he was basically not mentioned much. However, in history, he has been committed to the education of civilians in the Republic of China since 1920, and has always believed that 'the people are the foundation of the state, and the people are the foundation of a country'. He believes that although Yanhuang claims to have 40,000 people, more than 80% of them are blind. Moreover, Yanhuang founded the country on agriculture, and the vast majority of 'blind people with eyes and illiterate' are in rural areas. Therefore, if you want to run education for the people, you must go to the rural areas. In the history of the Yanhuang Republic of China, he chose Dingxian County, Hebei Province as the experimental area. ”

"Dingxian Experimental Zone? What about the results of the final experiment? What are the specific practices and results? Yadi asked with some interest.

"Yes, before the Anti-Japanese War, Dingxian County, Hebei Province, with a population of 400,000, basically eliminated blindness. The effect is very good, mainly because they study 'how to do', not like some patriotic scholars shouting 'what to do', let me give a few examples, Yan Yangchu, Tao Xingzhi and Chen Heqin and others from the country commonly used Chinese characters, select the most commonly used 1300, compiled into four volumes of "Civilian Thousand Words Lesson", each volume 24 lessons, every night to learn a lesson, for one hour, a total of 96 hours to learn four volumes, you can basically read books and newspapers. When compiling the textbooks, they noticed that the peasants were running for a living, they did not have much time to study, their economic situation was also very poor, and they had no money to buy books, so they wrote the "Thousand-character Course for Ordinary People" in the vernacular, with the aim of "obtaining the largest number of words in the shortest time, at the lowest cost". Wang Fan paused for a moment and continued.

At the same time, the education of civilians will be closely integrated with rural transformation, considering the immediate needs of farmers, and focusing on small aspects: for example, in order to reduce diseases transmitted through drinking water, guide farmers to build manhole covers and enclosures, and disinfect and sterilize them in a timely manner; training immunization of public teacher training students and civilian school students; training midwives to replace old-fashioned midwives and popularizing medical knowledge to old-fashioned midwives; Establishment of health clinics in all districts and training of qualified doctors; training of nurses in village clinics from graduates of civilian schools; introducing Better Cotton and layer breeds to villagers; Organize the establishment of a civilian school alumni association and establish a villager self-government organization; Reorganize county and township councils, renovate county and township governments, and so on. ”

"It sounds pretty good, it's quite operable." Yadi commented.

If we talk a little more theoretically, Yan Yangchu believes that the biggest problems in Yanhuang countryside at that time were stupidity, poverty, weakness, and selfishness. The countermeasures he proposed were the 'four major educations': art education, vitality education, health education, and civic education. The purpose of art education is to cultivate knowledge and solve the problem of "foolishness"; The purpose of vitality education is to cultivate productivity and solve the problem of "poverty"; The purpose of health education is to cultivate health and solve the problem of "weakness"; The purpose of civic education is to foster solidarity and solve the problem of "selfishness". ”

"Understood, then Tao Xingzhi should have done the same, right?" Yadi asked.

"Well, the general direction of what the two of them do is the same, so they are both famous in the south and the north, but Tao Xingzhi has a bad life, and he died early, and he died of sudden cerebral congestion not long after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, so the results achieved later are relatively small," Wang Fan patiently said, "In 1926, Tao Xingzhi founded a rural normal school in Xiaozhuang, outside the central gate of Nanjing, and served as the principal. During this period, he took off his suit, put on straw sandals, and worked with teachers and students to open up wasteland and build thatched huts together. He proposed that 'life is education, society is school, teaching is one, and labor is labor', although it is a bit too idealistic, but in the end some achievements have been made. ”

"I understand, it can also be seen from his name, Tao Xingzhi, take the meaning of the unity of knowledge and action, right?" Yadi asked.

"Yes, he thinks that 'action is the beginning of knowledge, and knowledge is the completion of action', so he changed his name to Tao Xingzhi. Of course, there are still some differences between these two people, Tao Xingzhi is a little more red, and Yan Yangchu is more bald. Historically, Tao Xingzhi once sent students Dai Ailian and others to the Eighth Route Army Office in Chongqing to learn Yang opera such as "Brothers and Sisters Open the Wasteland", and organized performances in the school. He also advocated learning the 'Nanniwan Spirit', led teachers and students to open up 30 acres of wasteland, and established Yucai Farm. Wang Fan replied.

"Oh~~ I generally understand, but what are you going to do? If you don't agree, do you just tie up the ticket? ”

"Of course, some human rights will be violated, you have to come, and if you don't come, you will bring them, I'm sorry for the two of them!" Wang Fan bared his teeth and said hehehe.

At noon, in Chongqing, southwest of the Yanhuang Continent, Tao Xingzhi was discussing the issue of funding with his assistant.

"Sir, hasn't the government sown our additional funds yet?" Tao Xingzhi's assistant asked.

"Not yet." Tao Xingzhi shook his head, "After years of anti-Japanese war, the government is also in difficulty, and it can't come up with more money!" ”

"But now that prices are rising so much, it will be difficult for our school to survive without follow-up funds."

"I know, I'll think about it again." Tao Xingzhi took a puff of cigarette, and then said, "I'll go look for Yang Chu in the afternoon, he has more friends in the government, maybe there will be a way." ”

"That's it!"

In the afternoon, inside a building in the eastern part of Chongqing.

"Xingzhi, I already understand what you said, I'll ask in a while, but it's really not good, see if there are any managers and shopkeepers of factories and shops who agree to donate more." Yan Yangchu said.

"Thanks, Yang Chu." Tao Xingzhi replied.

"Between you and me, it doesn't have to be like this, now this school in Chongqing is our seed, and only by taking good care of it can we develop and grow one day." Yan Yangchu shook his head and replied.

"Well, I understand," Tao Xingzhi nodded, and then said: "But I heard that many gentlemen have some opinions on you and my civilian education recently, saying that your Dingxian route has not solved the fundamental problems in the countryside, and that you and I are just a 'literacy movement' family?" ”

"'Literacy Movement' home? Hehe, let them go, a group of theoretical educators who only know how to code lattices in the study every day, they always have an instinctive contempt for the method of "curing the symptoms", and their bones are full of infinite thoughts about the "cure", and as a result, they have not come up with the "cure" of the "cure" in their lives, and they have not done the "cure", except for talking about right and wrong, right and wrong, what can they leave for the common people in the end? Yan Yangchu was already used to it, and replied lightly.

"Well said!" Just when Tao Xingzhi wanted to say a word or two to comfort him, the words of a strange young man suddenly came from behind the two of them, which instinctively startled the two people.

"Who is Your Excellency?" When Tao Xingzhi saw this young man, he instinctively thought of military commanders, unifications, and the like, and asked with an unkind expression.

"Hehe, hello two gentlemen, I have no malice, contemptible Gu Long (Wang Fan's pseudonym ^_^ for himself)!"

"Ancient Dragon?" Yan Yangchu repeated a sentence slowly, and then looked at Tao Xingzhi, who also shook his head, indicating that he had not heard of it.

"Your Excellency and we don't know each other, why did you suddenly break into the house below?" Yan Yangchu asked.

"Don't get me wrong, gentlemen, I just appreciate your willingness to be on the front line of civilian education. Well, I have a few photos here, please take a look at them first! After Wang Fan finished speaking, he took out a few black and white photos from his pocket.

"This is..."Tao Xingzhi and Yan Yangchu took it, looked at it carefully, and said: "Shuihe Village Junior Civilian School, Shenmu County-level Civilian School, Shaanxi Provincial Civilian University?" ”

"I don't know where this Shuihe Village is, but Shenmu County should be in the north of Shaanxi Province, how can it be?" Yan Yangchu couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw the black-and-white photos of the newly built school classrooms, the glass-filled windows, the rows of wooden tables and chairs, the long blackboards, and finally the hanging chandeliers and the textbook "A Thousand Words for Peasants" that seemed to have been compiled by himself.

"This Shuihe Village should be in Shenmu County, so that the village-level junior civilian school, the county-level civilian school, and the provincial-level civilian university structure will be built as a whole." Tao Xingzhi speculated some information and asked.

"Yes, Shuihe Village is in Shenmu County. Shaanxi has now completed the construction of a civilian education system covering the whole province, most of the schools are newly built, a small part of the use of old-fashioned buildings, Shanxi's civilian education system is also brewing planning, it is estimated that construction will start next month. The purpose of my coming here is to hope that the two gentlemen can go with me to the northwest region to visit and guide the problems that arise in the process of civilian education, after all, they have been practicing for many years and have a lot of particularly valuable experience in running schools. At present, Shaanxi only has school buildings and equipment and other facilities in place, but the staffing such as teachers is still much worse. Wang Fan said the purpose of this visit word by word.

"This~~" Yan Yangchu hesitated a little and glanced at Tao Xingzhi.

"I very much admire the dedication and hard work of the two gentlemen for tens of thousands of civilians in Yanhuang, and I hope that the two of you can temporarily put aside the partisan dispute and go to the northwest to have a look, okay?" No, Wang Fan didn't want to be strong, so he asked in a slightly pleading tone.

"But here in Chongqing, we don't just want to go!" Yan Yangchu saw that Wang Fan was full of sincerity, and he was also very curious about what Shaanxi would become, but there were still restrictions on the objective conditions, so he politely refused.

"I'll operate this, the two of you and your family can leave safely, please rest assured, of course, you need a lot of sleep!" After Wang Fan finished speaking, a large amount of white smoke suddenly appeared in the room, followed by two "dong dong" sounds of falling to the ground, Tao Xingzhi and Yan Yangchu didn't know anything.
