Da Wan News Recently, the heartwarming comments and cute illustrations written by teacher Wang Miaomiao from Lixing Town Central School in Taihe County, Fuyang have become popular on the Internet, and People's Daily also posted a post to like it. On the afternoon of December 11, a reporter from Dawan News interviewed Wang Miaomiao, a female teacher born in the 1995s, and listened to her telling the stories behind the heartwarming comments and cute illustrations and her teaching philosophy. During the interview with

, the reporter learned that Wang Miaomiao was 26 years old this year and was admitted to the Lixing Town Central School in Taihe County in October 2020. She is currently a Chinese teacher in two classes of the ninth grade. On December 11, Wang Miaomiao told Dawan News that since she took the teaching position, she has been using cute illustrations and heartwarming comments to correct homework for the children.

SpongeBob, big ear picture, little girl, bear, flowers and plants, etc. have all become cute illustrations presented by Wang Miaomiao when she corrects the composition. "This article is written in a real way, rich in the little author's own true feelings. To be honest, Xiaoshuo, the teacher is very happy that you have a passion for and maintain curiosity - Astronomy, how beautiful it is, how respectable it is..." The cute illustrations are accompanied by heartwarming comments, this is Wang Miaomiao's daily life in correcting compositions.

Wang Miaomiao usually looks for illustration materials online, and when correcting compositions, he will refer to the materials to draw. "It takes about five minutes to read an essay, write comments, and draw illustrations together." Wang Miaomiao said that although the time for grading essays has increased and sometimes overtime is required, it is worthwhile to encourage children and make them more interested in learning Chinese.

"I started with math classes. When I was correcting my class, I would draw some simple emoticons, including simple drawings such as 'refills' and 'little rabbits'. At that time, the seventh grade had just started, and some students in the class were a little confused because they had to learn geometry content. I hope to infect and encourage them through simple drawings." Wang Miaomiao said.

By the second semester of the seventh grade, Wang Miaomiao began to teach Chinese classes. When correcting compositions, he not only pointed out the advantages and shortcomings of the article, but also wrote some encouraging words and painted cute illustrations to help children adjust their mood and stimulate their interest in learning. "I am a relatively sunny girl myself. I hope to pass on my courage in facing difficulties and the way to resolve setbacks to students."

Da Wan News reporter dialogue Wang Miaomiao

Draw illustrations based on students' actual situation

Reporter: Your illustrations are very recognized by everyone. Do you have a foundation in painting?

Wang Miaomiao: has no foundation in painting, but I only have some contact in art classes in elementary and junior high schools. In addition, I like to draw, so I may have a little more imitation ability.

Reporter: Will you draw different illustrations in a targeted manner when treating different students?

Wang Miaomiao: There is . For example, I once drew a flower for a student because the child once mentioned in class that he wanted to be an excellent woman who could protect his own rights and speak for himself. I remembered the child’s speech, so I drew flowers on the composition text to encourage her, and wrote “The seeds of dreams will eventually bloom.”

Reporter: Are there any similar stories in ?

Wang Miaomiao: I still remember that one time I talked about astronaut Yang Liwei in class. A child came to me after class and asked a lot of stories about Yang Liwei. I knew he liked astronomy, so later he presented the picture of "Astronaut holding the little earth" to the composition text. He was very happy and felt that he had received encouragement and attention from the teacher.

is very tired but very popular among students

Reporter: composition correction and drawing illustrations increase your workload. Do you feel it is hard?

Wang Miaomiao: It is definitely fake to say that is not tired, but I will take time to do this. I think the composition is finally presented to the composition text through the students' brain thinking, so as a teacher, I must correct it carefully. Moreover, I have just started working and need to be familiar with all aspects of textbooks. I usually spend a lot of energy on preparing lessons and teaching, and it is also appropriate to spend more time correcting homework.

Reporter: What are the students’ feedback on these illustrations you draw?

Wang Miaomiao: students’ feedback is quite good, and they expressed their expectation of illustrations, which also increased their interest in learning. In addition, students sometimes draw an illustration under the pictures I draw to respond to, which is very cute.

Reporter: Do students know that you are "popular"? What are their reactions?

Wang Miaomiao: knows. Some students would say things like "the teacher is awesome" and "the Chinese teacher is excellent", and they would go out to show off with classmates in other classes; some students would comment later on media articles that I was single and wanted to help me get married; some students urged me to find a partner in their weekly diary... The students were so cute.

was a little panicked after being on the hot search

Reporter: What is your inner thought after received attention from media such as the People's Daily and many netizens?

Wang Miaomiao: is a hot search, and the People's Daily also reprinted it. I was encouraged, but I was a little panicked because I only had 2 and a half years to get into the job after all, and I didn't have much work experience. I didn't expect such a small behavior to attract everyone's attention.

Reporter: Can introduce some illustrations that made the whole story of the popularity of the Internet?

Wang Miaomiao: At the beginning, I just shared novel ideas in the teaching process in my circle of friends. I also felt that I was recognized when I saw everyone liked it. I was very happy. It was not until September 2021 that I started to share some daily corrections online. I didn’t expect that it has been very popular online recently and has been praised by many netizens. I realized that something might be a bad thing.

Reporter: Why does say that it may be a bad thing?

Wang Miaomiao: For example, some people may think that my teaching level is very high and they will exaggerate it, so I am quite distressed now. I don't want everyone to magnify this matter, it's actually a very simple thing.

's original intention is to inspire students to love learning

Reporter: What are your future plans?

Wang Miaomiao: I want to devote myself to teaching in the future, because this is a small matter after all, and it does not represent my outstanding contribution to teaching. It can only be said that my use of this method to modify compositions may have stimulated children's interest in learning and made them love literature more in the process of learning Chinese.

Reporter: corrects essays and illustrations for students. What is your original intention?

Wang Miaomiao: When I first started doing this, some people may not understand and would say sarcastic words, but I have a clear conscience and just do what I think is right. It can inspire students to love learning and help students improve their grades. Then I think this matter will be successful.

Reporter: Will you continue to do this in the future?

Wang Miaomiao: In the future, I hope to continue to persevere in this matter and not care about the results. Since I have done it, I have to work hard to do it well, which is also something that will make me proud of myself.
