Ding Chen, a member of the Communist Party of China, counselor of the Luwan Second Central Primary School Brigade in Huangpu District, Shanghai. For twelve years, she has always focused on her main responsibilities and business, and used the Young Pioneers' activity position as a carrier to create a campus atmosphere where all Young Pioneers of the school practice " five educations and " with innovative thinking, leading the children to grow up happily in the collective. In 2020, she was also awarded the title of "National Outstanding Young Pioneers Counselor" jointly awarded by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, the Ministry of Education, and the National Youth Work Committee. Today, she used three keywords to tell reporters about her growth work experience.


Keyword 1: "Like"
The word "Like" runs through the entire interview and also links Ding Chen's growth and work experience.
"When I was in elementary school, the brigade counselor teacher often took us to rehearse programs and participate in competitions." Ding Chen smiled and talked to the reporter about her Xiao Chenguang. "At that time, I didn't know very well what the counselors had to do, but when I saw that everyone was very happy and liked the counselor teacher, I thought, it would be great if I could be a counselor when I grew up."

12 years passed in a blink of an eye, Ding Chen always focused on his main responsibilities and main business, shining and warming in his favorite positions. When I was a child, I "liked" a little ignorantly, and became concrete and vivid in my busy and fulfilling work: it can be the satisfaction of finally being successfully held for a long time, it can be the satisfaction of seeing the students' efforts rewarded, or the smile of the students when they called her "Teacher Ding Ding". The longer she works, the more she can realize that the brigade counselor is not just "playing" with her classmates. Every week, she holds regular meetings for the young cadres, arranges the main work of the squadron, and carries out training for the brigade leader and provides guidance to the 10-minute team meeting of each squadron. She is also responsible for the coordination of the school’s Red Scarf Radio, and as a teacher of ideological and political courses, she also has a fixed amount of teaching tasks every week. Even on weekends, she often spends her time in school, tutoring her classmates for rehearsals or leading teams to participate in competitions. She was busier when others were resting, which became the norm for her work.

Team counselor is so busy, do you still like this job now? "I like it very much." Ding Chen's answer was firm, "Actually, all teachers' work is very hard, and I enjoy spending time with the children and I also like to organize activities for them, so I have never regretted choosing to be a team counselor."

Keyword 2: "All-rounded"
In Ding Chen's opinion, to hold an event, from planning and rehearsing programs to insert music on the event site, everything needs to be considered by the team counselors. "Therefore, counselors must not only be able to sing and dance well, but also have strong organizational and coordination skills. It is a job with high requirements for comprehensive abilities."

During the years as counselor, Ding Chen found that many gratifying changes have occurred in his classmates. "Everyone's vision is getting wider and broader and more talented." In this way, the quality requirements for school activities must be improved accordingly. The Labor Expert Challenge, "Star Baby", etc. are all Young Pioneers activities planned and launched by Ding Chen. Students actively participate and are also very popular among parents. According to the characteristics of students of different age groups, Ding Chen divided corresponding evaluation projects in the event, giving students the opportunity to display their talents and skills, and "linked" to the school TV station, allowing children to experience the feeling of "a little star on campus". "Every detail must be taken into account," said Ding Chen. "Some people may think that the work of the brigade counselor is very tedious, but I enjoy this process very much."

In addition to tutoring and teaching, Ding Chen has also put a lot of effort into theoretical research. In 2020, she designed and applied for the "Party History Map" activity launched by the brigade headquarters as the main research object, and successfully established a major project of the Young Pioneers in Shanghai, and successfully concluded the topic at the end of last year.
" Huangpu District has rich red cultural resources. We have made full use of this characteristic advantage and designed the "Party History Map" activity, connecting the red venues in the district, guiding students to re-take the glorious path of revolutionary ancestors, and encourage everyone to learn from a pioneer when they are young and become pioneers when they are young."Ding Chen said that they hope that the children will not just check in the red venues in a flash, but will have a deeper understanding of the historical background there. She and the teachers of the Moral Education Department also thought of many ways, such as adding historical puzzles to the "map", and even combining the textbook content to make the students reappear. "For example, when checking in the week mansion , we will ask the children, what festival did Premier Zhou and the Dai people celebrate together, and what was the situation during the festival? "Ding Chen gave an example, "This is the content of the fourth-grade Chinese class. Children can better understand Premier Zhou's personality charm when they are in the Zhou Mansion environment. "
Keyword 3: "Responsibility" The work of the counselor of the brigade is closely related to the enlightenment of ideological and political education for young people and the shaping of values. As Ding Chen described, "Although the work of the Young Pioneers is a small part of the overall work of the school, it will play a great role in shaping children's values and their future growth. "
Sometimes, a teacher's encouragement will bring unexpected positive impacts on students. Ding Chen still remembers that it was a Young Pioneer she tutored many years ago, and told her that she wanted to run for the captain. "It is very difficult for ordinary team members to run for the captain, but his academic performance is excellent in all aspects, but some teachers think that he still lacks ability. I encourage him not to be afraid and try it. "When talking about this past many years ago, Ding Chen still sighed, "He finally chose the brigade committee member, which had a great impact on the future study and life of an ordinary child. Later, he was admitted to a very good school. "

The teachers and classmates saw her efforts. "My first impression of Teacher Ding Ding is that she is very gentle and kind. "When I grow up, I will be a person like her, engage in education and cultivate a new generation of flowers of the motherland. "
"When you grow up, you want to be the same person as her", this sentence became a reality again. In September this year, a new team counselor came to Luwan No. 2 Central Primary School. What surprised Ding Chen was that this new partner was actually the first team leader she had led back then. Because of Ding Chen's enthusiasm when he was working, he also had the idea of being a counselor. Ten years ago, the scene of teachers and students rehearsing hard in the dance classroom was still vivid in my mind. In a blink of an eye, the students became colleagues. A sense of mission passed down from generation to generation came naturally in Ding Chen's heart, which also made her I deeply understand the meaning of the word "responsibility" to the brigade counselors.

In the campus atmosphere of "five educations at the same time", Luwan No. 2 Central Primary School was named "Shanghai Young Pioneers Red Flag Brigade" and "Shanghai Young Pioneers Normal School"; Ding Chen was also awarded the "National Outstanding Young Pioneers Counselor" of 2020. She admitted that her responsibilities were even heavier: "As a young Young Pioneers counselor, I will work harder in the future to add luster to the Young Pioneers cause in Shanghai and make our Young Pioneers cause more prosperous!
