I was born in a small village on the banks of the Qingshui River in the northern Jiangsu Plain. The village is very ordinary, and the village primary school is also very ordinary. I graduated in a daze. In a cool September, I stepped into Shabu Middle School. In this rural middle school with black bricks and gray tiles, I met the famous teacher Ding Sijun. A teacher is to preach, learn to help you solve your doubts. Mr. Ding Sijun is particularly famous for his preaching.
A basic test that I just entered the school was the top five in the whole grade. On the night after the results came out, around eight o'clock, I was studying in the classroom. A classmate asked me to say that it was Teacher Ding who asked me to go to his office. I was surprised that Teacher Ding was the principal, not my teaching teacher, and there was no intersection between us. I walked towards his office uneasy. It was a rainy night and the wind was loud. As soon as I pushed the door, a warm feeling came to my face. Several teachers were discussing with smiles. When they saw me, they immediately sat around the principal's desk. My test papers were spread on the table of books, and the teachers took turns to explain the test papers to me. Now I think about what I said at that time, but I just remember that the teachers' "tea cups" are very interesting. There are tea leaves in various canned bottles, orange peels, and a large chrysanthemum blooming exaggeratedly in a glass cup.
For a long time, Teacher Ding Sijun came in with storms and rain. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the teachers' "general professors". He pulled a chair and sat in front of me, and said to me with a kind face: "Your grades are good and there is great hope. I have taught for so many years. Your grades are the best in this class. You, XXX and XXX, have both achieved very well this time. Are you from the same village?" It seems that Principal Ding has a thorough understanding of the situation. Seeing me nodding, he continued, "You are all excellent, and each subject has its own advantages, but what I admire most among you is your articles and your literary talent. I think you can become a writer in the future. The outside world is big and wonderful. Excellent people should go out to experience more. I hope you can work hard to get out of our big plain in the future."
The dream of a writer and the seeds of exploring the world were planted into my heart by a teacher. Many years later, the thick lines of life drawn by Teacher Ding have always been vaguely guiding me to move forward. Of course, I failed to become a writer, but became a lawyer. But when I have free time, I still sit on the desk and write a few short articles about publishing a few tofu chunks, which is also a comfort to Teacher Ding's expectations. Later, a classmate said that the "treatment" I enjoyed that night was Teacher Ding's unique way of educating people, and many of them had also received similar guidance and preaching from him. One of the stories that makes people laugh and talk about is widely circulated. A classmate who has always had the last academic performance and often fights has also enjoyed Teacher Ding's caring "tutoring". I don’t know how to tutor. I probably praise him for his strong physical and physical coordination skills. He is a seedling of a good athlete. He practices well and is a hero who wants to defeat his opponents on the field rather than on the playground. He can win medals and win glory for our county. Since then, that classmate has been sweating on the playground every day, regardless of the cold or heat. I heard that I was admitted to a normal school and became a physical education teacher at a certain school. Even the teachers in the school said that it was evil. Principal Ding turned into gold and turned rotten wood into a genius.
It can be seen that the teacher’s attitude plays an important role in shaping the character of a minor. It is very important to be good at discovering the strengths of a student. Even if he shines a little light, as long as the educators continue to teach according to their aptitude and encourage him to polish the bright spots, he will definitely be able to spread a prairie fire and create unexpected results.
After working, I went to visit Teacher Ding. He has retired and is still a crisp white shirt with a pen in his pocket. He was very surprised when he saw me, "I heard that you joined the government and became a lawyer. Good lawyers, and lawyers also use pens to make a living. Writing a complaint requires good writing." We looked at each other and smiled in understanding. This time he stopped mentioning the writer's affairs, and I felt relieved.
