General situation of Wenzhou juvenile art school

Wenzhou people are famous in China and even the world for their shrewd business mind and hard-working spirit. But people often ignore the achievements and talents of Wenzhou people in other aspects. Not long ago, when the reporter came to this economically developed area to participate in the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the founding of Wenzhou Children's Art School, he saw that many artists with both ability and political integrity were from Wenzhou Shao Yi School. These include: Huang Doudou, Zhang Zhi, Sun Shenyi, Zheng Wu, Guan and Cai in the dance circle, Ke Lvwa, Zhang Xiaoling and Cai in the singing circle. JOJO, Ying Zhen, and Mao Geping, a famous makeup artist in the film and television industry, gathered together to sincerely dedicate their artistic talents and tell about the spiritual wealth endowed by their alma mater.

Thirty years ago in the summer, a group of workers loyal to education and literature and art hung the sign of Wenzhou Youth Art School on a dilapidated building. Since then, they have embarked on a arduous and hopeful journey with the goal of pursuing education. School begins, a blank sheet of paper, how to get there? How to set training goals? How to deal with the relationship between culture class and art class? How to select students? How to set the course? Where did the textbook come from? Most importantly, how to raise funds for running a school? There is no ready-made model to follow. They have the spirit that Wenzhou people dare to be the first, especially starting a business. All teachers and students summed up while practicing, constantly explored and boldly innovated, and finally gradually formed a unique way of running a school: established the goal of "based on quality education, cultivating artistic expertise and developing in an all-round and harmonious way"; Taking aesthetic education as a breakthrough, a school-running model of "promoting morality, intelligence and physique with beauty" has been formed. After 30 years of hard work and 30 degrees of spring flowers and autumn fruits, today, they can finally count their fruitful achievements proudly.

Several generations who left Wenzhou Shao Yi School still remember it vividly: the small training room with ventilation on all sides, the piano room in the corridor, the classroom in a dangerous building that is vibrating step by step, and the bathroom borrowed from other units ... It is these simple conditions that have cultivated the spirit of struggle of all teachers and students. Today, the school has a garden-like campus: teaching building, art building, comprehensive building, dormitory building and small theater. Teachers and students study, work and live in a beautiful and modern artistic environment. When they returned to their modern alma mater, these artistic elites who went abroad were filled with emotion. They said that no matter where they go, they will never forget the fine traditions of their alma mater and the teachers who have contributed sweat and youth to their alma mater.

For many years, Wenzhou Shao Yi School has been exploring ways to organically combine the ideological and moral construction of minors with teaching. In this school, every teacher is not only the giver of knowledge and skills, but also a model of moral education for students. Take the headmaster Chi Lu as an example. For 30 years, she took school as her home and suffered hardships first. She deeply understands the party's educational cause and puts education first in school work; She creates opportunities to promote students' all-round development and guides students to learn to live, create, hone their will and grow their talents in practice. Under her leadership, every teacher in Shao Yi School is conscientious, conscientious and studious. When the reporter visited the school, he saw that the campus was clean and tidy and the students were polite. In the classroom, the teachers are patient and kind, and the students are serious and childish, showing the scene of equality, mutual respect, democracy and harmony between teachers and students everywhere. According to the old alumni who attended the celebration, Shao Yi University not only gave them excellent artistic quality, but also gave them a confident, optimistic and hard-working attitude towards life. It is this kind of campus culture that makes them always maintain a positive attitude towards life, a spirit of struggle and lofty ideals wherever they go, no matter what position they are in.

Another feature of Wenzhou Shao Yi School is that it pays attention to the combination of classroom and practice. Over the past 30 years, the school has created hundreds of music, dance and drama works, participated in international and domestic art competitions for many times, and won more than 300 awards, including the National Dandelion Award, the First Prize of the National Children's Song and Dance Competition, the First Prize of the National Competition, the First Prize of the National Xiaohe Style Award, the National Children's Rhythm Competition Champion, and the National Small Plum Blossom Competition. It was also invited to Australia, Britain, France, Italy, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. Twice invited to Zhongnanhai, Beijing and the "June 1" of the central leaders; In 2003, the school dance troupe also showed its elegance at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Wenzhou Shao Yi School has been awarded the honorary titles of "National Advanced Education Unit", the first batch of "Zhejiang Civilized School" and "Wenzhou First-class Demonstration School" for its remarkable achievements in running schools. It became the window of Wenzhou's opening to the outside world, received friendly delegations from Japan, the United States, the former Soviet Union, Ukraine, Britain, Norway, the Netherlands and many overseas Chinese, and was designated as the "Chinese Education Base" by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council.

What Wenzhou Shao Yi School is most proud of is not their school buildings or their reputation, but those "golden phoenix flying out of the chicken coop". Over the past 30 years, Wenzhou Shao Yi School has sent 245 talents to major art groups and famous art colleges in China with the qualification of running a local art school, with a total number of graduates exceeding 1000. The success rate is unbelievable. Among them, 100 students were sent to Central Conservatory of Music, Beijing Dance Academy, Shanghai Dance School, Song and Dance Troupe of the General Political Department, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Zhejiang Song and Dance Troupe, Zhejiang Art School and other units with excellent results. Nowadays, these people have become the best in China's literary and art circles, and some of them have won the prizes of Wenhua Award, Plum Blossom Award, Lotus Award, Hundred Flowers Award, Flying Award and International Dance Competition. Some are the youngest artistic directors in China art groups, national outstanding experts named by the Ministry of Culture, top ten young people in China and top ten young people in Shanghai; Some have visited performances and competitions abroad for many times, enjoying a good reputation at home and abroad; Others have become influential literary directors, and their works have appeared in major national competitions and CCTV Spring Festival Gala many times. In addition, because junior art schools attach great importance to the all-round and harmonious development of students, students who do not engage in literary and artistic work after graduation are equally excellent. They are active in learning and thinking, creative, healthy and cheerful, and become outstanding students, student cadres and top students in the college entrance examination. Some of them have become professors and experts in universities and scientific research institutions; Some are masters and doctoral students from famous universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua and Zhejiang University. Some have gone to the society, and some have become independent leading cadres, outstanding entrepreneurs, industry experts and even leading figures.

Not long ago, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a national conference on strengthening and improving the ideological and moral construction of minors. The successful experience of Wenzhou Shao Yi School in educating people is undoubtedly worth learning.
