Teachers' Day Blessing No. 5: Touching story of blind Shanghai teacher 2006-9-8 9:57:07

Feng Zhiyuan, a former Shanghai teacher who taught for 40 years in Ningxia's Zhongning County, is now lying quietly in bed at his sister's house in Changchun. He has lost his eyesight and the left half of his body is paralyzed by a cerebral thrombosis. Recalling the past when he spent time with his students is his most absorbing time.

"Whenever he mentioned his students, he was especially happy," said Feng Zhiyuan's sister, Feng Baozhen, 73, with pity.

42 years of poverty and loneliness

Born in Changchun, Feng Zhiyuan was assigned to teach in Shanghai after graduating from the Chinese language department of the Northeast Normal University in 1953. 1958, Feng Zhiyuan, who had been working in Shanghai for five years, responded to the country's call to build a border, left his wife of more than a year and left the bustling city of Shanghai to teach at Mingsha Middle School in Zhongning County of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Afterwards, he was transferred to Guandi Middle School.

"The classrooms are adobe and the blackboards are made of cement, so the teaching conditions in these two schools are not comparable to those in Shanghai." Mingsha Middle School is more than 20 kilometers away from the county town, separated by the Yellow River, with no bridge. To go to the county town to send a letter or buy some daily necessities, you need to walk for more than two hours to the Yellow River, take a sheepskin raft across the Yellow River, and then walk for more than two hours to reach it. The local terrain was high and there was a serious shortage of water, so the school teachers were supplied with one thermos of water per person per day. Feng Zhiyuan had a third-floor apartment in Shanghai, which was given to him by his former organization. When he arrived in Ningxia, he was crammed into a dormitory with the students and ate in the cafeteria. In the dormitory, a bed, a table and chairs, an incandescent lamp. Drinking well water, toilet to the outdoors, want to take a bath in no condition, can only take a towel to wipe things, food is mainly cabbage and potatoes. "Although the hardships, time is long, also get used to it." Feng Zhiyuan on the material life to face lightly. When he wrote to his family, he also said, "The dormitory is very good".

"However, the children here are particularly pure and simple, I like it." Looking at the students' eyes, Feng Zhiyuan felt full of energy. Feng Zhiyuan has taught five subjects: language, Russian, English, history and geography. He taught three classes at the same time, sometimes several subjects at the same time. Preparing for classes, attending classes, and correcting homework, he was often busy until midnight before taking a break.

In the eyes of the students, Feng Zhiyuan is a knowledgeable and lively teacher. Through his explanations, students realized the charm of literature. Many years have passed, and his student Liu Shide still remembers his lectures on texts such as "Blessing" and "Medicine". Many of the ancient poems he taught his students could be recited by heart.

Liang Xiaoxia turned out to be a student who disliked language classes and was most afraid of writing essays. When she moved up to high school, Feng Zhiyuan became her language teacher, and she instantly fell in love with the subject. When Liang Xiaoxia took the college entrance examination in 1978, she had already left the classroom for two years, and in the college entrance examination she scored 98 points (out of 100) in language, and successfully entered the university. She said, "Mr. Feng laid a good foundation in language for me during the turbulent years."

Paying it forward for students

Long separated from his wife, Feng Zhiyuan didn't get a son until he was 40. He only gets to hear his son call him "dad" twice a year, when he returns to Shanghai for the summer and winter vacations. Usually in the campus to see those with their son's age of the children, he could not help but talk about his son with colleagues and students. Students without personnel, but also from his words to feel the strong feelings of longing and deep love of the father. Once, his son was sick, his wife sent an urgent telegram for her husband to go back. But the students are about to participate in the midterm, Feng Zhiyuan weighed again and again, hard to wait until the end of the midterm before rushing back to Shanghai. By this time, his son had recovered from his illness. In the 1980s, when some of the side of the border personnel have returned to the big city, he also wanted to write a report to the organization. But because he couldn't let go of his students, he finally didn't ask the organization to return to Shanghai.

Wang Tianzhen, now the vice principal of Zhongning No. 3 Middle School (formerly Guandi Middle School), was once a student of Feng Zhiyuan. He told reporters that over the years, Feng Zhiyuan has never competed for fame and fortune, and has always adhered to the sentiment of the older generation of intellectuals who are indifferent to fame and fortune. He has not received any honors in his teaching life and does not have any titles. His eyesight from the gradual decline to complete blindness, suffered the unimaginable difficulties of ordinary people, but he never looked for the school leadership to solve any personal difficulties. 1987 school for the first time in the series of teachers title assessment, according to Feng Zhiyuan's qualifications can be directly assessed as a senior teacher. Due to the small number of title quotas, Mr. Feng has been completely blind, teaching fewer classes, the school did not take Feng Zhiyuan into account when evaluating titles. After 2000, when the school again assessed teachers' titles, Feng Zhiyuan had already retired. Now his retirement salary is only 1,130 yuan. In recent years, he has been living in dire straits because of frequent medical treatment.

When he was in class, Feng Zhiyuan realized that the sound of "pop, pop" always appeared in the classroom, and it turned out to be that the students' pencils were only used to a short cut, and they couldn't throw them away, but they couldn't pick them up and couldn't hold them. The students are the children of farmers, most of the difficulties of life. Although his monthly salary of only 80 yuan, but also to send home 70 yuan, Feng Zhiyuan still have to squeeze out money to buy books and school supplies for students with special difficulties. In addition to meals, Feng Zhiyuan himself basically do not spend any money, almost never buy new clothes. At the end of the 1970s, his brother-in-law gave him a FAW uniforms, which turned into Feng Zhiyuan's most upscale "dress", only on particularly important occasions, he was willing to wear, and has been wearing it to the present. He returned to Changchun, the students to help him pack his luggage, when he saw the photo set of his photo in Shanghai, who could not put the photo of the handsome young man with his blindness in Guandi Middle School, relying on memory to speak for five years

Also at the age of 15, Feng Zhiyuan was found to be suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, which is a congenital hereditary disease that means that one day will be blinded, according to the experts.

After arriving in Ningxia, he studied a lot of materials to prepare for his classes and carefully corrected every assignment. Every time he finished grading homework or preparing for class, his eyes would get astringent, swollen, and painful. Combined with the poor medical and living conditions in the area, Feng Zhiyuan's eyesight declined sharply. He began to use a magnifying glass to read books, prepare lessons, and correct homework. He doubled his efforts to work and study, "I want to do more for my students while I can still see; I want to stock up (on knowledge) while I can still see, so I can prepare for the future."

The students' lovely faces are blurring, and the light is leaving little by little. 1984, in a language class, Feng Zhiyuan, standing on the podium, was completely plunged into darkness. That year, he was 55 years old.

The students were in tears. Feng Zhiyuan, who knew this day would come, was unusually calm. "I will not leave." He said softly.

After losing his eyesight, he couldn't prepare his lessons, so Feng Zhiyuan let his students read the text to him first, and then taught the children from memory. The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers," he said. He told the students in the form of a commentary, and the classroom was often filled with laughter and applause. Other teachers couldn't help but be curious and quietly came to listen. Under the care of the students, Feng Zhiyuan insisted on being a blind teacher for another 5 years. 60 years old, he retired, he officially left the soulful podium. The next 10 years, retired Feng Zhiyuan, still live in the school, as long as the children need, he volunteered for the children tutoring. Until April 2000, he suddenly cerebral thrombosis, life can not take care of themselves.

The closest and most valuable teacher-student love

The bumpy encounters, strong perseverance, innovative teaching, and the cause of the unrelenting, so that after the blind Feng Zhiyuan, got more admiration and love from the students. Every morning, a student will come to Feng Zhiyuan's bedside, bring him water for washing his face and breakfast, and then hold his hand and take him to the classroom when the bell rings. The company's newest product is a new, more sophisticated version of the company's original product, which is now available for sale on the Internet.

"Sophomore Wang Fuhai took care of me for two years; You Junxian took care of me for six years from the first to the third year of high school; later, the baton was passed on to Zhang Tao ......" You Junxian's home is very close to the school, usually after school he always like to Feng teacher's dormitory around, to help teacher He always likes to go to Mr. Feng's dormitory after school to help him cook, clean up the house, and do the laundry. Whenever there is a good meal at home, he will always bring one to Mr. Feng. Mr. Feng cares about his study situation and teaches him some study methods. He now reads books and newspapers, and when he sees something useful, he copies it on a small card, a habit he learned from Mr. Feng. After You Junxian was admitted to a university in the south, he still kept correspondence with Mr. Feng. You Junxian said, "I will remember many of Mr. Feng's teachings for the rest of my life."

Found that many students took the initiative to take care of Feng Zhiyuan, Guandi High School Youth League Committee also as a moral education, organizing more students to join the ranks of care for Mr. Feng Zhiyuan, but also selected a number of outstanding members of the League and excellent class group. Guandi Middle School has established a good tradition, a group of students who took care of Mr. Feng graduated, and another group of students took over this work. Many of the students graduated and often returned to their alma mater to visit Feng Zhiyuan. As soon as the students who hadn't seen each other for a few years opened their mouths, Feng Zhiyuan could immediately call out their names. Whenever he hears the footsteps of the students approaching, a smile unconsciously appears on his face.

After Feng Zhiyuan became completely blind, the school arranged a dormitory with a suite for Feng. Normally, Mr. Feng lives in the inner room, and the students who take care of helping him live in the outer room. All the students who lived in Feng Zhiyuan's outer room were basically admitted to university.

Wang Zejuan and three other female students lived in the outer room of Feng Zhiyuan's dormitory for three years. They studied in Feng Zhiyuan's dormitory every day, and Mr. Feng learned what each of them was good at and where their potential lay. One day, Wang Zejuan found a few more English textbooks and a few more English tapes on her desk. At a glance, they were correspondence college textbooks from the Dalian Institute of Foreign Languages. It turned out that Feng Zhiyuan realized that Wang Zeduan had good pronunciation and liked to learn English. He listened to the radio and knew where the textbooks were sold, so he asked other students to go to the post office and remit the money. After that, Feng Zhiyuan began to supervise Wang Zeguan's memorization of English and often bought her English reading materials. When she entered the university, her classmates did not believe it was true when they realized that Wang Zeguan, who came from the countryside, could read English books fluently. Now Wang Zeduan has been running an English school for 10 years.

Paralyzed in bed, his biggest wish is "to give the children another lesson"

Feng Zhiyuan, who is ashamed of his wife and children, has no way to go back to Shanghai, and doesn't want to stay in the school to drag the students down, so he called Feng Baozhen, who is far away from Changchun, and asked her to come and pick me up. I'm afraid you won't be able to see me if you're late." Five days later, Feng Baochen took a train to Guandi Middle School in Zhongning County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.

On June 4, 2000, Feng Zhiyuan returned to his hometown of Changchun with his sister, bringing with him a photo of the last students he taught. After arriving home, Feng Zhiyuan asked his sister to do one thing for him: "Find me some students, I still want to volunteer to tutor the children."

In 2003, Feng Baozhen was hospitalized and had to temporarily send Feng Zhiyuan to an old people's home. In July last year, Feng Zhiyuan left side of the femoral head fracture, hospitalized for more than 70 days, followed by November and again sudden cerebral thrombosis, paralyzed in bed. During the hospitalization, once he heard a student to see him, or received a letter of greetings from the students, his dry and thin face, became glowing.

In November 2005, the Shanghai Boys' High School celebrated its anniversary, and several students who had been taught by Feng Zhiyuan learned of his teacher's recent situation and sent him 10,000 yuan to meet their urgent needs. One of the students, surnamed He, who is already 68 years old, said that it was Mr. Feng who first let them know about Pushkin and Russian literature, and became their literary initiator. I hope the teacher will recover soon and have a happy old age.

Feng Zhiyuan has taught more than 10,000 students, some of whom have grown up to be professors at Peking University. Talking about his life, Feng Zhiyuan, who is on his deathbed, said in a weak voice: "The happiest thing is teaching. I love it when children gather around me and ask questions." The reporter asked the old man what else he wished for, and he said, "I still want to give the children another lesson."

In early 2006, Feng Zhiyuan was elected as one of the "2005 Top Ten Moving People of Jilin" and "2005 Top Ten Moving People of Ningxia".
