Author Junior High School Bi Lai (the standing one right 1)
1952 I went to Yueyang No. 1 Middle School to study in high school. My teachers include: mathematics teacher Yi Zhongying , Peng Shaofang, Liu Dadong, Su Yuxiang, geography teacher Gong Yaonan, history teacher Zhang Zhong, physics teacher Yi Yaosui, Chinese teacher Tan Wei, English teacher Ding Yaosheng, Liu Xiaochuan, Li Zhuyao, and biology teacher Liu Shenwu. Physical education teacher Guo Yuesen, music teacher Rao Hong, etc.
Teacher Liu Dadong wrote the molecular formula of magnetite (4 oxidation 3 iron) on the blackboard during his chemistry class. He said: "Oxygen is 2 valence, 4 oxygen is combined with 3 iron, iron, iron! What are your valence?" The students thought, 4 oxygen is 8 valence, how do they combine with 3 iron? Teacher Liu continued: "Magnetite is a mixture of pyrite and ferrous oxide . Part of the iron is 3-valent, and part of the iron is 2-valent." Teacher Liu Dadong has taught us physics and mathematics. Teacher Liu talked about Newton's third law - the law of action and reaction force: The shipman needs the ship to move forward, and push the earth with a bamboo pole. The earth cannot push, and the ship goes forward in the opposite direction. Teacher Liu defines the trigonometric function : "To oblique sine, adjacent oblique remainder; to oblique tangent, adjacent oblique; to oblique deviate oblique is a positive cut, and the remaining cut is equal to oblique deviate with pairs." I still remember the mantra compiled by Teacher Liu.
Teacher Su Yuxiang’s interpretation of elementary mathematics is superb. He said, why should we take positive and negative values to open square (square root)? If 2 times square is equal to 4, -2 times square is also equal to 4, and the square of -2 is open square (square root) of -2 does not take positive and negative values, there will be a false proposition of 2=-2, 4=0.
Teacher Peng Shaofang has also taught us mathematics. Teacher Peng is highly myopic and has a little hunched back. After every exam, my classmates chased him to hand in the test paper, and he accepted it. He said: There are 100 steps from your classroom to the mathematics teaching and research department. I will deduct one point from the test paper I received after leaving the classroom. When I arrive at the teaching and research department, I don’t have to hand in the test paper. It means that 100 points were all lost. In fact, Teacher Peng has not deducted a single point for the late test paper.
Teacher Tan Wei corrected the composition and connected it with reality. The school launched an anti-waste campaign. The student canteen was next to the "scissors pool", and rice particles flowed into the pool in the dishwasher tank, and collected and weighed. A classmate wrote in the composition: "After the anti-waste exercise, the phenomenon of losing food every day is still several kilograms." Teacher Tan said: "Can the phenomenon be weighed by a scale?" A classmate wrote in the composition: "I was beaten by the enemy and disappeared completely." Teacher Tan criticized that people cannot "partially" disappear, so there is no saying "completely missing". A classmate described the spring: "When I looked up, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant." The teacher asked: "Can you see the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant?"
Teacher Tan published many literary works. The biography "Today's Yueyang Tower" was published on November 6, 1962, and was included in the "Yueyang Tower Notes" series in 1992. After graduation from university, I was assigned to work in Changsha. Teacher Tan returned to Changsha kindergarten teacher to teach and lived in No. 4, Firecracker Lane, Cai E North Road. Teacher Tan was born in 1921. His ancestral home is Xiangxiang . After studying in the fourth grade of elementary school, he studied traditional Chinese medicine and then went to the " Hanyang Arsenal " to apply. In 1938, Wuhan fell, and Teacher Tan wandered around Kunming and made a living for the tabloids. Teacher Tan listened at " Southwest Associated University " and met the Hunan writer of "Southwest Associated University" Shen Congwen , and received guidance from Shen Congwen. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Teacher Tan embarked on the road of teaching.
In the late 1980s, Teacher Tan made a special trip to Beijing to visit Mr. Shen Congwen, and wrote an article "At a Visitor at Shen Congwen's Home", published by " Hunan Daily ".After retirement, Teacher Tan devoted himself to traditional Chinese medicine and registered a clinic. There was Cuizhu in front of the door, called "Zhu'an Clinic". The teacher said: "Zhu'an, Zhu'an, everyone is safe."
I used to be an English tutor to Tan Hao, the eldest son of Teacher Tan. Tan Hao is now a doctoral supervisor at Hunan University . I once took Teacher Tan’s second son Tan Xi to learn skills in the factory, and Tan Xi is now the chairman of a company in Changsha. Teacher Tan’s wife Zuo Li is a descendant of Zuo Zongtang and is a math teacher at Zhou Nan Women’s Middle School. In 1998, I met Teacher Tan for the last time in Changsha. In the 2005 Spring Festival, I called to pay New Year's greetings to the teacher, but I couldn't hear Teacher Tan's voice!
Everyone’s growth cannot be separated from the teacher’s education and the hard work of the teacher. Respecting teachers and valuing education is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation and should be passed down from generation to generation!
I would like to dedicate this article to my teachers in the world and heaven!
