Chapter 22: Reminiscences of Mr. Jiang

The school bell has long been ringing, and many students who have not had time to go to the toilet have returned to their classrooms. They wish they could have played a little more, so that they would have more happy times.

Fantasy is beautiful after all, but reality is cruel after all. No matter how long the break is extended, they still complain about not having enough to play. Playfulness may be their nature. And learning is something they have to do at their age.

Principal He had already walked into the classroom, holding the textbook in his hand, but there seemed to be something else in his eyes.

"Okay, let's start class."

"Stand up!"

The students were about to stand when the principal motioned for them to sit down.

"What we're talking about today is called ......"

Principal He took out the chalk and wrote down four big characters: Respect for teachers and education.

The students looked at each other with puzzled faces, what is the purpose of respecting teachers and valuing education? The students couldn't figure it out for a while, just stared at the blackboard, looking forward to Principal He answering their questions.

"Report!"

Xiao Yuxuan and Xiaoxue outside the door also returned to school, but classes had already started in the school when they came back. Yang Yong, who had been waiting at the school gate for a long time, saw them come back, and his hanging heart finally landed.

Yang Yong did not accuse Xiao Yuxuan and Xiaoxue of leaving the team without permission, but simply reminded them that they had already gone to class!

Xiao Yuxuan and Xiaoxue bowed and thanked them, and as for right and wrong, no one was entangled.

"Advance ......"

Xiao Yuxuan and Xiaoxue walked into the classroom, and the students looked at them with strange eyes. Maybe the classmates don't know what they've been through, but they just feel that Xiaoxue doesn't seem so sad.

"You two are back?"

"Yes, Principal Ho."

"Now that you're back, let's talk about what it means to respect teachers and value teaching."

Xiao Yuxuan and Xiao Xue stood at the door, like two students who made mistakes waiting for the teacher's criticism.

"Respecting the teacher is respecting the teacher. Attaching importance to education means attaching importance to education. ”

Xiao Yuxuan's speech made the students laugh, maybe everyone thought it was really that simple.

"Xiaoxue, tell me about it."

"Respecting teachers and valuing education" comes from the Book of Rites and Learning, which is the earliest treatise on education and teaching in ancient China and the world. It is one of the ancient Chinese treatises on the rules and regulations "The Book of Rites", written in the late Warring States period. It is one of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. ”

"Xiaoxue is right, but she misses the point. Anyone can continue to add, go back to your seats! ”

Xiao Yuxuan and Xiao Xue returned to their seats, while Principal He continued to explain.

Why does Principal He talk about respecting teachers and valuing education, perhaps he has another purpose.

"Respect for teachers and education, from the Book of Rites. In the fourteenth volume of Xueji, let's first look at the original text. ”

Principal He wrote on the blackboard: "All the way to learn, it is difficult to be a strict teacher." The teacher is strict and then the Daozun, and the Daozun is then known and respected by the people. It is the second one who does not submit to his ministers in the place of the king: when it is a corpse, then the minister is also; When he is a teacher, then Fuchen is also. The gift of the university, although the edict is in the north of the Son of Heaven, so the teacher is also respected. ”

The students looked at the article on the blackboard with puzzled faces.

Xiao Yuxuan was also full of doubts, shouldn't this be a moral class? How did you start taking Chinese again......

"Okay, let's get started. This is the original text of respecting teachers and valuing teaching, so let's read it silently for a few minutes by ourselves. ”

Principal He seemed to be deliberately playing tricks, and originally said that he would start the explanation, but he suddenly stopped.

Xiao Yuxuan stared at the blackboard, what he was thinking about was not respecting teachers and teaching, but ......

"Alright, let's get started. The origin and general meaning of respecting teachers and valuing education Xiao Yuxuan and Xiaoxue have already said it, and I don't want to repeat it here. The reason why I want to talk to you today about respecting teachers and valuing education is because you have already experienced it. Think about your teacher Jiang, think about your respect and love for him. ”

The mood of the classmates, who had finally calmed down, suddenly became uncomfortable again, but everyone knew that they would have to come out of their sadness one day. Instead of being uncomfortable left and right in pain for a long time, it is better to let them vent all their suppressed emotions. Maybe Principal He is doing something inappropriate, but after all, this is a fierce medicine.

"Alright, put away your grief, let's go to class."

Principal He explained the meaning of the original text, but the students listened very carefully. It's not because they don't understand, it's that they think of Teacher Jiang.

Respecting teachers and valuing education is, to put it simply: respect teachers and attach importance to teachers' teachings. Of course, there is another explanation: respect the teacher and pay attention to the principles that should be followed. As for the original text, it can only be slowly experienced and understood......

"That's all I have to tell you today, and that's all I have to say. I know why I'm telling you this, it's because you're not good enough. I hope you will reflect on yourself and respect your teachers better. ”

"Principal He, you ......"

"I don't need you to ask questions, I'm just giving all of you students one assignment. That is to write an article reminiscing about Mr. Jiang, with no limit on the style and number of words. ”

"Principal He, this can't be called homework! It should be ......"

Xiaopeng didn't say anything, as if he was observing Principal He's expression and mood.

"Yes, it's not homework. This should be a retrospective essay, you can use any word, in any language, but I only ask you of one thing: truth. ”

Perhaps, as the principal said, he doesn't need to ask students for style and word count. This requires them to reminisce with real feelings, recall Mr. Jiang's past, and recall the bits and pieces of Mr. Jiang's life.

The bell rang for the end of class, and Principal He left the classroom.

The students were not so much looking forward to this recess, and they seemed to prefer that Principal He would say more. It's not that they don't understand, it's that they're stuck in it and can't extricate themselves.

Reminiscence, how easy it is to say, let alone the remembrance of Mr. Jiang. Maybe they are really playful and fun-loving at this age, and it may be difficult for them to ...... to reminisce.

Principal He is not unclear, but he just wants to pay tribute to Teacher Jiang in this way.

The time between classes is always short, and for Xiao Yuxuan, no one has the intention of playing. Maybe they're still grieving, maybe they don't feel like playing is less important today.

Classes are like a fresh start. They must put away their grief and turn their grief into motivation to learn. No matter how reluctant they may be, other teachers won't give them a chance to grieve.

Yang Yong walked into the classroom and saw that the students were exhausted, and she felt a little unbearable. But he knew that he had to get his students out of the shadow of grief as soon as possible......

"Attending Classes"

"Stand ......"

The classmates slowly got up and said to Yang Yong in a weak voice:

"Hello teacher!"

"Okay, let's all sit down!"
