Life itself is a miracle. It would be a miracle to change a number related to life to more than ten times it and let life bloom like a flower. In Qifu Primary School more than ten years ago, the two large iron doors were mottled painted. When the wind blew, it made a harsh sound of rubbing against the ground and a strong collision between the metal. The four walls built on red bricks have collapsed almost a few times, and the broken walls of cornerless bricks are scattered. Artemisia outside the wall climbed in. Several old houses look old and weak. On the roof, many years of tile stand between the tile cracks. On a two-story old building, sparrows chirping, shuttle back and forth from the windows from under the eaves. If it weren't for the blurred handwriting on both sides of the door - "A century-old plan, education is the basis for ", passers-by thought this was an abandoned place and did not think it was a six-year primary school.
On August 26, 2009, a motorcycle drove into this campus, and the fate of the entire campus was completely rewritten. The person who came was not someone else, but Zhou Haobo, the principal who was newly transferred to Qifu Primary School. He was in his early thirties, of medium figure, and simple clothes. He was arranged in this small-scale school that was inconspicuous at the time. To some extent, he might seem to have an indescribable fit. During the summer vacation, the campus became a territory of grass. Looking around, Principal Zhou Haobo made up his mind to remove the weeds as soon as possible! Clean the campus. He did it as soon as he said, Principal Zhou and several teachers, facing the scorching sun, their figures moved in the grass, and pieces of grass fell down... Two days later, all the weeds and garbage in the courtyard were completely removed, revealing a dilapidated school building with the walls falling off, the eaves leaking, and the window glass was broken.
Qifu Primary School in Qianxian County is located between urban and rural areas and has a special geographical location. There are only more than 50 students in the whole school, and less than 10 students in each grade. More than a hundred students in the village moved to the county town to go to school. Those who stayed either stayed at home with their grandparents or couldn't keep up with their studies, and were rejected by several primary schools in the county town. The school building is simple, the source of students is short, and there are many students with learning difficulties, so you cannot sit still and wait for death. After Zhou Haobo communicated with his superiors, he recruited preschool classes to ensure the source of students for the next year. On the other hand, we strive to improve the quality of education and teaching, organize teachers to research cobalt textbooks, innovate teaching methods, learn from each other, and stimulate students' interest in learning. He personally teaches mathematics and science for fifth grade. In addition to preparing lessons carefully, he also needs to repair tables, nail stools, connect lamps and change wires, install windows and repair walls... In short, he does not do anything big or small in the school, and he must do it.

The number of enrollment reached 103 in 2013, breaking through the double digits for the first time. The school that was about to be removed survived, and there were more people than before. For Zhou Haobo, he had an indescribable joy, and his efforts were finally rewarded. He was more motivated, focusing on education and teaching, safety, and creating a good educational environment. So he began to forget about food and sleep again, riding an old motorcycle to the wind and rain, running around, begging for advice from the top and the bottom. A dark gray jacket is worn all year round. The gray jacket is his logo. One time, two or three times... After countless negotiations, 7 new offices and more than 30 square meters of hall were finally built in 2014, and the students' nutritional lunch has been settled. This incident caused a lot of sensation not only in Qifu Village, but also in the surrounding villages.

The number of enrollment rose to 156 in 2014. The number of enrollment rose to 223 in 2015. Almost all the students studying outside have returned, and more and more students have been transferred one after another, and the number of students has increased year by year. Zhou Haobo has always believed that the school should aim at educating people and ensure safety and quality. Under his leadership, Qi Fu's primary school education and teaching achievements ranked among the top, and the masses began to look at him with admiration. Zhou Haobo devoted himself to education and teaching work and had long regarded the school as his home, which is obvious to everyone. Due to long-term fatigue, in 2016, Principal Zhou Haobo suffered from lumbar disc herniation .But he is still standing on the podium. His science classes are the ones that students like the most. They write novel blackboards, rigorous teaching, vivid explanations, and neatly written lesson plans to pass on and learn from teachers. Sometimes his waist hurts so much, he sits down to relieve it for a while. Then I continued to attend classes and continued to work. The principal's office is always in . It is either in the classroom or checking the safety in front and behind the house and checking the route.
Direct classrooms cannot guarantee the daily safety of teachers and students, and reconstruction of the school building is imminent. The school building must be renovated, and Zhou Haobo was reluctant to eat and racked his brains to find a way. He didn't care about his family at all, and the burden was all on his parents. He started running around again - running projects and rebuilding the school building. Whenever there is a problem, he will find the reason and find a solution. The pain in the waist is unbearable, but you can't give up. With his unremitting efforts and passion, his work achievements over the past few years, and the reputation of the general public... The 2017 school construction project has been implemented. It was openly tendered in 2017, and the teaching building and various departments were fully built in 2019. The number of students in school reached more than 300, the number of students in school reached more than 400 in 2020, and the number of students in school reached 500 in 2021, which is almost 10 times the original number! The number of students is increasing year by year, and a restaurant of more than 30 square meters cannot meet the nutritional dining of students. Students cannot be allowed to sit in the classroom to eat. It is necessary to ensure that students' dining is safe and hygienic. Only restaurants can be built. As soon as this idea came out, even I was shocked, and I had to work hard this time. Hard work pays off, and he succeeds again. In 2021, the six-year construction period was completed. 650 students sat happily in a brand new restaurant for dining on the first day of the autumn of 2022. The students were eating with confidence and laughing comfortably, which also solved the worries of parents.
The house is leaking and raining. In 2018, just as Zhou Haobo was running around for the establishment of the school, his wife had a broken right leg. He told his wife that dozens of students were still waiting for you in class and could not add burden to other teachers. She put plaster and went with crutches. He didn't bother to send his wife to school, so he asked her to take a taxi to work. My wife did not rest. In the fourth-grade classroom of Beijie Primary School, a female teacher with a cast on her legs was smiling and taught the children. For a time, it was a good story and inspired the majority of teachers to be positive. School work not only focuses on classroom teaching and safety, but also needs to learn the spirit of superior documents and implement them in action. Principal Zhou Haobo sets an example and often takes duty on campus on weekends. He led all teachers to strengthen political learning and improve their teacher ethics. Students’ nutritious meals are strictly implemented in accordance with the requirements of their superiors. For students who have registered files, he often comes to the door to learn about the situation and does his best to help. Since the " double reduction " work was launched in 2021, the school has strictly followed the spirit of the document and never did what it is. In the shortage of teaching staff, Zhou Haobo hired external teachers to teach students to learn to make golden poised Thangkas; arranged teachers with professional knowledge to set up music clubs to teach students to learn trombone , piccolo and other musical instruments; based on students' daily actual situation, arranged for teachers who are good at yoga to teach students body class , and teachers who are good at calligraphy to teach students to practice calligraphy... so that students can develop comprehensively and grow up physically and mentally healthy.
Principal Zhou Haobo recalled that he had been anxious, touched walls, suffered from cold, and sweated... He couldn't tell how many sleepless nights he sat under the lamp and thought hard, and how many times he had hungry and food in his belly. But for him, he had already gritted his teeth and got through it. Nowadays, the spacious and bright four-story teaching building, two-story complex building and two-story restaurant are rising. In the beautiful campus, the bright five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and the sound of reading comes from the multimedia classroom. Teachers are good at teaching students and learning. Especially since the implementation of the "double reduction" policy, the school has focused on the "three classrooms" as a starting point, and the quality of education and teaching has written a new chapter. Students' activities inside and outside the school are rich and colorful, with diverse forms, prominent carriers, and showing vitality. Principal Zhou Haobo looked at the medals on the wall, and he smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Miracle has really been created! Principal Zhou Haobo also knew in his heart that he was a son, a husband, and a father, but for the past ten years he did not belong to himself or his family. He left too much time for Qi's father to primary school, and so on in the future. However, this will always become the knot in his heart that his family feels most guilty about. Principal Zhou Haobo did not speak loudly in his work, but used his practical actions to interpret the loyalty of a grassroots educator to the cause of the Party and the people's education.
