Changsha City currently has about 150,000 faculty and staff.
They work silently and make selfless contributions in their ordinary positions, care, respect, motivate and guide every student, have touching stories and lofty teacher ethics, and have the spiritual qualities of people's teachers to teach and educate, be loyal and dedicated;
They have innovative educational concepts, distinctive characteristics of the times, creative spirit, and have significant educational effects, and are deeply recognized and praised by students, schools, parents and society...
Today, let us approach the sixth "charming teachers" candidates and listen to their stories.
The world is so big, there are always places where the sun cannot shine.
Childhood is so beautiful, but there are always some children hiding in dark corners. Without sunshine, they would find it difficult to grow into towering trees, and even turn into heartbreaking tragedies.
Chen Yang, vice principal of Yuelu District Experimental Primary School, hopes that he can become a ray of sunshine and illuminate the children in those corners.
In every campus, there are several special children with mental delay and poor self-management ability. Not only do they have academic difficulties, but they also have difficulty integrating into collective life. According to Chen Yang, some of them are like "air" and exist in a corner of the classroom, while others are like "little devils", which makes teachers and students feel sick and afraid.
The first one to enter Chen Yang's vision are these children with slow intelligence.
In February 2014, out of women's tenderness and the strong sense of responsibility of teachers, Chen Yang, who served as the moral education director, decided to do something within his ability to let these children "be hugged and grow up." With the support of principal Wu Jing, Chen Yang initiated the establishment of the "Good Group" organization in the school.
"At that time, I only sent a message in the faculty and staff group, but I didn't expect that there were so many people responding." From the beginning, 8 teachers gathered. When there was no class, 8 teachers provided one-on-one tutoring and helping 4 special students.
Kobayashi is the first child Chen Yang has tutored. When I first came into contact with
, Kobayashi, who was already a fourth grader in elementary school, could only recognize very few Chinese characters, and the titles of a picture book were not fully read. Chen Yang and the teachers of the "Shan Group" took turns tutoring and accompanying him. Starting from the simplest way to read the picture books, the teachers took the children to read them over and over again. Later, Xiaolin was able to read a whole picture book in full, with a literacy of thousands...
In 2016, Ziru became Chen Yang's tutoring target. Strangely, he had no intellectual problems, but he frequently skipped school, which led to teachers often searching around and outside the campus... It was not until the teacher found him once and sent him home that he learned that the child became withdrawn and disgusted with school because his parents divorced.
It turns out that this is a child with a "wound" in his heart!
In recent years, tragedies caused by psychological disorders have often happened on campus, which is heartbreaking. According to the "2022 National Depression Blue Book", the current prevalence of depression among adolescents is 15%-20%, and paying attention to students' mental health is important and urgent.
Chen Yang keenly discovered that there is actually a group of unhappy and psychologically needing assistance on campus. Therefore, the "Shan Group" injected fresh blood this year - two psychological teachers took the initiative to join; the "business scope" was further expanded: pay more attention to and help children who need support psychologically.
November 2, 2021, after 8 pm.
has been busy for a day. As soon as I entered the house, I didn’t have time to put down my bag. Chen Yang received a call: Xiaoyi has found it!
Xiaoyi is also a child with a "wound" in her heart - after her parents divorced, they formed families respectively. That morning, Xiaoyi did not come to school. Chen Yang asked the head teacher to contact her parents. But my dad refused to come to school and refused to search for it. My mom didn't answer the phone no matter how she called. Chen Yang mobilized school teachers, security guards and police officers from the police station to search around the campus for a whole day but couldn't find Xiaoyi.
Chen Yang was particularly worried about this day.
Because this child had no experience in school in May 2019. Chen Yang and the others finally found her on the rooftop of the community. After persuading her, Teacher Chen and Xiaoyi made an agreement: because Xiaoyi's home lives far away, Teacher Chen gave her a late exemption card, and no points will be deducted if she comes to school late.
From then on, Chen Yang paid special attention to Xiaoyi, and every time he saw her at the school gate, he would "try to praise her in every way." Chen Yang's concern for Xiaoyi also affected other teachers - Chinese teacher Yao Zhiping was worried that she would not have time to have a good breakfast, so she prepared a breakfast for Xiaoyi every day.
Seeing Xiaoyi becoming more cheerful day by day, but this time she disappeared may have vain all her previous efforts. Chen Yang's anxiety can be imagined.
"Can Teacher Chen come in?"
Chen Yang asked patiently outside Xiaoyi's locked door.
After a few minutes of hesitation, the door finally opened.
also opened her heart.
It turned out that my father changed his password to his father's door and did not tell her in time. Sensitively, she thought she had been abandoned by her parents, or even the whole world. So she didn't want to go to school, so she hid in a nearby convenience store and even locked herself into the kitchen.
Chen Yang hugged the child tightly in his arms.
Since the start of the assistance work, Chen Yang's life has become irregular.
Girl Xiaoxin often ran away from home and refused to return all night after having a conflict with her single mother. But every time I would call Chen Yang, sometimes it was late at night, sometimes it was early in the morning. Chen Yang would patiently comfort her for a long time until she walked home.
Whenever this happens, Chen Yang's family, especially her husband, will feel distressed and complain, and will not understand: Why do you have to worry about so many things and make yourself so hard when you are a primary school teacher?
She actually thought of relaxing and having a second child.
Moreover, it is not always smooth when communicating with parents.
Many children with psychological "wounds" have parents with problems behind them, with strong desire for control, excessive anxiety, and prone to irritability. They can hardly see their own problems, and they all attribute it to the children and even the teacher's fault. They send a thousand-word long article to the teacher in the middle of the night. Communicating with them is like facing a wall of iron.
Every time at this time, Chen Yang also had doubts and thought about giving up.
But she is moved by the children every time.
Their growth and progress gave her another reason to persevere.
Teacher gave Xiaolin a small piece of durian. Xiaolin had never eaten it before, but he couldn't bear to eat it himself. He carefully held it and walked through three teaching buildings to give it to the "Shantuan" teacher. Although Kobayashi had difficulty expressing it, the teacher of the "Shan Group" was the warmest light to him. This precious gift must be shared with the teachers who have helped him.
Through multiple home visits and communication, Xiaoyi's father also realized his problem. Xiaoyi has become completely different now. Every day she has to greet Teacher Chen warmly at the school gate, and also give Teacher Chen a big hug.

Of course, there is also encouragement and support from parents. A parent sent a text message to Chen Yang sighed: "I didn't expect that when I was 40 years old, I truly understood the word "Teacher's kindness is like a sea!"
Open the diary written by Chen Yang in his circle of friends (only visible to me), and read the files of "Shantuan". There are not only Xiaolin, Xiaoyi, Xiaoxin, but also Xiaoxi, Xiaoze, Xiaoting, Xiaoying... Chen Yang knows the names and the characteristics, psychological conditions, and family conditions of each child behind them.

8 years of gentle persistence, 39 special children walked out of the shadow and towards the sun.
8 years of gentleness and perseverance, Chen Yang's philosophy has also invisibly immersed in more people.
As of now, the "Shan Group" has developed into a large team of 173 people. Among them, there are not only teachers who are moved by the "Shan Group" concept, but also many psychology students from outside the school. What’s even more gratifying is that since the establishment of the “Shantuan Group”, no student accident occurred in Yuelu District Experimental Primary School.

"Every child is precious! It is the teacher's mission to make more children grow up happily!" When talking about the "Good Group", Chen Yang admitted that helping students make themselves feel at ease.
Every unhappy and unhealthy child has almost an unhappy family behind it. In recent years, Chen Yang and the teachers of the "Shantuan Group" have begun to pay attention to their families and go to the community to provide family education and tutoring.
