"The origin of WE BEST"
Hello friends, my name is Wang Yongmei, I am very happy to have this opportunity to communicate with you today.
My job is a practitioner in the financial industry. I studied medicine in college and worked in the hospital for 11 years. Then I am also the initiator and manager of the WE BEST parent exchange group. Of course, in Sichuan dialect , I am a senior "Praise Flower" parent.
Today I want to talk to you about the stories of our WE BEST and a group of "Praise Flowers" parents .
The meaning of "Praise Flowers" in Sichuan dialect may be compared to the northern word "showing off" and "love to show off".
When we were young, if we loved to show off and were very proud, our parents and teachers would say, "Praise the Spirit" and "Praise the Flower". In fact, we all regard it as a compliment, which means love to express and share.
WE BEST has been around for 8 years since its establishment. Today I want to report to you the origin of , what we have done in the past 8 years, and the problems we are facing , and I hope to get everyone's support.
In July 2014, my daughter and her classmates graduated from the junior high school of Chengdu Experimental Foreign Language School because we all had a good relationship with our parents at that time. When we were in junior high school, we were all a group of "Praise the Flowers" parents . They often organize activities together to assist teachers in committees and also carry out many activities of the school.
that summer vacation was very long, so everyone wanted to do something meaningful and then summarize what we could do. As soon as the children reflected and analyzed, they felt that they had the advantage of being good grades and good study, and they didn’t seem to have any greater strength. So as soon as the children planned to form a small team to tutor and help younger students in the lower grades, they named their team themselves, WE BEST senior tutoring base .
WE BEST Established a dinner party
WE After the establishment of BEST, there were 7 classmates from the original initiator. 8 years have passed until today. We have covered middle schools and some primary schools in cities and cities in Sichuan outside Chengdu and even outside Chengdu. Even now, parents from schools from other provinces have come to visit us, and we have formed a parent group of 3,000 people.
"WE BEST Activities"
WE BEST Senior Tutoring Base After the establishment of the establishment, the first most popular activity among parents and students was the tutoring service activity of primary teachers for . This kind of peer-style learning and role model has brought a lot of motivation and positive energy to the juniors.
Primary Teacher Tutoring Service Activities
We use the parent group to recruit juniors and students, and assign them to our homes to help them.
In addition to learning Chinese and mathematics, they exercise together and exercise together. Of course, they also share their troubles in learning, school, and troubles encountered in life. They can communicate with everything, because this kind of communication between peers is very easy for children to get close to. Once the event was launched, it received good reviews.
was about one year after its establishment, in July 2015, the seven children gathered together for a meeting again.
Report from Sichuan Daily
In addition to the tutoring activities of primary teachers, we have also carried out other activities in various forms, such as our Senior Lecture Hall , Parent Lecture Hall , Teacher Lecture Hall , and Teacher Lecture Hall . In the past 8 years, we have carried out more than 100 such lectures.
Then this is the venue we have carried out before the epidemic after the school and some companies supported us to find. You can see that parents like these are very serious, and their juniors are taking notes very seriously and listening very seriously.
Senior Lecture Hall Activities (I)
This is also our different senior lecture hall activities, as well as group discussion activities, etc.
Senior Lecture Hall Activities (II)
This senior lecture hall and parent lecture hall activities have continued until this year. Every year during the winter and summer vacations, especially after the college entrance examination, we will invite many outstanding students to share .
For example, after this year's college entrance examination, we have entered the group after the college entrance examination.
Excellent college entrance examination students
Because of the epidemic, we have adopted more online sharing and communication of . They entered the group to share and talk about their high school learning experience, learning materials, learning methods, experience, how to adjust their college entrance examination mentality, etc., and so on. These selflessly share and give lectures to parents and classmates online.
In addition to excellent high school students in the college entrance examination, we will also invite many excellent college students , like Tian Yunhe of our National People's University. Tian Yunhe is also the former WE BEST teacher at our base. After she was admitted to the National People's Congress, she is now a junior major in finance.
Excellent college student
also returned to WE BEST some time ago and told my younger classmates what to study in finance, what kind of university is her university, what kind of internship is, and how she should do a good job in high school in high school, whether to choose finance when choosing a major, and what kind of classmates are suitable for studying finance.
share of so many classmates, parents and teachers, including our 8 years, Professor Dai Wensheng from the Sichuan Admissions Group of Renmin University of China, Professor Tax from the Sichuan Admissions Group of South China University of Technology, Professor Liu from our Xi'an Jiaotong University and other teachers, including the former principal of Chengdu Shiwai, Li Jun, who is known as Jun Ye and other teachers, all of whom are visiting WE BEST to bring their sharing and lectures to students and parents.
Actually, I would like to add that during the tutoring process of our little teacher, I think it is very powerful to give children the role model of .
I have a lot of feelings about it. My daughter was in the process of being a little teacher to accompany her juniors and tutoring her juniors. In fact, she was the biggest beneficiary of , and she herself has also grown very well.
She once tutored and helped a junior girl. Once she came back to tell me while tutoring a junior girl, she said, "Mom, I only now think my parents are so good."
Because she was tutoring her schoolgirls, because the schoolgirls were puberty and menopause during puberty, there were certain problems with the communication between the children and parents. As a result, she also assumed the role of a bridge and bond for communication between mother and daughter in the middle.
We have many young teachers who have played such a role, so actually improved themselves. In addition to learning to teach their knowledge to their younger classmates, their own knowledge has been more solid.
At the same time, I also learned to get along with others and communicate with others. I also knew how difficult it is for my parents to teach and cultivate them. How difficult it is for teachers to teach them and cultivate them. Therefore, the tutoring activities of the little teacher are highly praised.
In addition to the above activities, WE BEST has specially carried out a favorite activity in recent years. The activity I actively and strongly supported is our career experience and social practice activities .
We have had 27 stations in succession over the past 8 years with the strong support of leaders from all walks of life and enterprises and institutions. We have to go to one stop for each event. It involves about 20 industries, different industries, enterprises, institutions, and scientific research institutes.
For example, our first stop in 2014 entered Huawei Chengdu Research Institute . This photo shows the children visiting Huawei's advanced office system back then and envious of Huawei's advanced office facilities.

Bank of China , and we also went to the express delivery industry to visit and learn about the express delivery industry Home Express delivery . The children personally distributed express packages on the assembly line, and some classmates personally delivered the express to the customer and experienced it.

West China Medical Simulation Center , this is the history of visiting its specimens, it is all real specimens.
West China Medical Simulation Center
I remember it deeply impressed me. I visited the medical simulation center of West China and had a first aid experience. There was a boy outside the real world. The boy had good grades. When he came out, he told me that they all called me a good mother. He said good mother. I decided that I would not study medicine in the future.
Then he went to Shanghai Jiaotong University and studied computer major. I was very impressed by it and I was very happy. I think these activities made him at least know what I don’t like and what I might be interested in.
The fourth boy wearing a black T-shirt on the right side of this photo is Dou Yanchao from Shiwai, Chengdu. I especially want to tell you his short story.
Little Volunteer Activities
WE BEST launched an activity called Little Volunteer Activities . When they graduated from junior high school, they went to assist the Sichuan admissions groups of universities such as Renmin University and , South China University of Technology, , to do the admissions work. Xiao Dou also went to graduate from junior high school. This was his photo with his teachers and classmates at that time when he participated in the admissions group work.
that T-shirt was sent to him that year. I was very happy that three years later, he entered the college entrance examination and studied finance major in Renmin University of China.
Then in 2022, as a junior student, he ended this year's college entrance examination. After the college entrance examination, he needed to be in the Sichuan admissions group of Renmin University. Because there were fewer teachers coming during the epidemic. When the Sichuan admissions group of Renmin University needed help, Dou Yanchao wore this black T-shirt that year and came to the Sichuan admissions group of Renmin University again to assist the teachers' work.
When his mother told us about this, I was really happy. She (say) thank you very much. When she graduated from junior high school, she planted a seed of her dream.
"The value of WE BEST"
8 years have passed. With the joint support of a group of outstanding classmates, especially me, such a group of "saying flowers" parents, WE BEST has done a lot of things, and the grades are not worth it, but I myself think that we have jointly created some value .
The first one I think is to let our children understand society and get in touch with society more, and to open a window to understand society for middle school students in these ivory towers.
The second is excellent inheritance and role model motivation. The sharing of some good learning methods and learning materials has inspired my juniors. At the same time, through these activities, we have helped many ordinary families learn and understand some good and excellent family education methods, including some good learning materials.
We have to admit that there may be unfair education (phenomenon) in the school, right? There are many schools in our group from remote mountainous areas such as , Dazhou , whose teaching staff and information they may receive are still limited.
Through these activities, we help these ordinary families obtain some high-quality resources, and have made some contributions to our balanced education information and changing educational inequality.
In addition, I think Through various social practice activities, we have greatly increased the importance of children in career planning .
"The reason why I am engaged in WE BEST"
Here I also want to share with you my own experience, why am I willing to engage in these work and activities?
Actually, when I was taking the college entrance examination, I actually wanted to be a teacher in my heart, but my parents were both elementary school teachers, so they really wanted me to apply for a medical school.
I believe many friends have this experience. After the college entrance examination, the child’s head was really confused.
didn’t have much opinion at that time. Maybe it was just twenty or thirty years ago. I took the college entrance examination in 1988. Whatever my parents said was, I studied medicine.
But in fact, I have found out over the years that after going around, I actually didn’t like it at all, and I still didn’t like it at all. I finally left the hospital.
After I worked for about how many years, one year my niece was about to take the college entrance examination. I asked her what major she wanted to apply for, but she couldn't say it. I said, "What do you like, she couldn't say it either." I said, "What major you hate, but she couldn't say it either."
I think it’s still like this after twenty or thirty years? includes when I was communicating with young people in my unit a few days ago, they told me that they had just graduated not long ago. He said that they were not very clear during the college entrance examination that year and could not say what they thought about. Even if a classmate knew what they hated to do, it was actually quite good.
This has been so many years. My parents and friends around me, we are willing to create so many social practice opportunities for our children. I hope that even if there is a small event, even if there is a sharing between a teacher in an industry, it may touch them in their hearts, allowing them to discover their interests and hobbies. I am willing to not be as confused as we did when they choose the college entrance examination in the future, then I will be very satisfied.
8 years have passed, and of course we have made many like-minded parents and friends, which is also the greatest wealth in my life .
The children also realized that we achieved cross-school communication through WE BEST. Every time we organize activities, you often change classmates from different schools and get familiar with each other quickly.
Last time we went to Pujiang to organize a robot activity. Two young boys from the first grade of junior high school in different schools quickly became good friends, and after the event became good friends, they communicated with each other's learning matters, and maintained this connection.
so the parents of our juniors who we once tutored between our families have many families, parents of young teachers, and parents of juniors.
Just a few days ago, I heard a parent of a little teacher saying that his daughter tutored her and her sister was admitted to college this year. The two families made an appointment to have a hot pot together a few days ago, and exchanged their college life and arrangements, so that our only child, several families of only children, have another sibling.
"Difficulties and persistence in WE BEST"
8 years have been encountered many difficulties, and we have encountered some difficulties and problems today.
The first is the lack of injecting fresh blood , especially because when our children grow up, there are fewer excellent middle school students I know, and now the children seem to be very busy, busy with competitions, busy with excellence, busy with various studies, etc.
so we are still using this platform today to call on more excellent children and excellent middle school students to join our team.
The second is to organize such social practice activities, and there are still certain security responsibilities and hidden dangers in . Sometimes we are still very worried, so this is also a problem that we need to gradually improve and solve in the future.
In addition, we are not professional enough, in the future, this is also what my "Praise Flowers" parents and me, our friends need to keep working hard, and I will devote more and better to public welfare.
Of course, there is another problem in the end, that is, because everyone is busy with their jobs, parents have their own jobs, and spend their spare time doing this kind of charity activities. Indeed, they are still limited in energy, which will lead to Some of our activities are not very complete like regular charity organizations, which are planned and planned. We are relatively a bit scattered .
8 years have passed. After this year's college entrance examination, a parent after the college entrance examination, a middle school student parent, and a mother sent it to my good friend Fu Mama. She said that we have participated in the activities you organized several times before, and the child has benefited a lot. Thank you very much for the various exercise opportunities provided to the children. After the child participated in the activities of the robot KUKA robot and Foxconn, the baby's own goals have become clearer, so it is easy to fill out the application this time.
When she posted the screenshot, she thanked us for the great love we conveyed. My mother and I saw that, including many of our organizations and parents who participated in the event, we were very happy and really happy, this kind of happiness that others needed.
feedback from parents
And when I saw this child, I said it was easy to choose what I like, determine my goals and direction of struggle. We were very happy.
It is precisely because of this kind of feedback, encouragement and trust from parents and friends that we have been passed down for 8 years and will persist in the future.
My parents and friends, We believe that perhaps our little actions will become a beam of light, even if this beam of light is relatively weak, it may inadvertently illuminate a journey of youth .
Thank you.
