In early 1950, we happily received a transfer order from the Hebei Provincial Department of Education, and came from the Hebei Southern Construction College to Lishen County Middle School (hereinafter referred to as Shenzhen Middle School)
When we were relocating, Shenzhen Middle School sent a carriage to Ji County to pick us up. The comrade who was driving the car may be Jia Zhensheng, who was around 50 years old. The pair of big black mules he raised were fat and strong, with a shrine. He raised his long red tassel whip and the car walked, which was eye-catching. When we arrived at Qianmotou, we were in a hotel and the store was entertained attentively. After eating the fragrant braised cake , we hurried to Shenzhenzhong and received a warm welcome.
Shenzhen Middle School was founded in 1948. By 1950, there were 28 provincial middle schools in our province, and our school was the earliest provincial middle school in our province.
Shenzhen Zhongzhong’s party and youth league organizations are relatively sound. Most of the faculty and staff have worked in old areas, have high political awareness, have feelings for the Party and the working people, and love the cause of education. Many teachers have extensive experience. However, the teaching equipment is simple and the teaching and living equipment cannot adapt to the needs. Lighting without electric lights. There is only one carriage, two mules, .

Shenzhen Middle School teachers and staff have always attached great importance to on-the-job learning. In addition to learning the systematic theory of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, we also learn the common program of , a brief history of social development, the world of labor creation, and the documents of the Chinese Church Conference. In addition, it is also combined with teaching and learning business.
11 After May 1950, all faculty and staff of Shenzhen Middle School organized the study of the "Summary Report of the National Education Work Conference" and the "Current Policy on Education Construction", combined with work and thoughts, and conducted discussions in groups, and criticized and self-criticized. After learning, it was further clarified that "education must serve workers and peasants and production and construction", and must follow this central policy of New Democratic Education , and further clarified the school-running idea of "relying on all teachers to run a good school" and the working methods of "focusing on learning and leading work" and "coming from the faculty and staff to the faculty and staff". Through learning, we have improved our awareness, gradually eliminated the influence of old education, gradually established a new educational perspective, laid the idea of ownership, and inspired the enthusiasm of faculty and staff. The old teacher Comrade Wang Houan (from Nanhuapo Village, Shen County) was 59 years old at that time. Others are old and have never been old. Since they came to teach at Shenzhen Middle School, they have been diligent and self-improvement. Although he was greatly influenced by his old education, he worked hard to learn Marxism-Leninism. Although he has rich teaching experience, he still insists on professional learning and constantly improves teaching. Because he has good teaching results, he sets an example everywhere and is highly praised by students and comrades. He worked hard and went to the classroom to tutor students for self-study after class. Sometimes he insisted on working while sick, and once he almost fainted on the podium. Not only did he do his job well, but he was able to complete other tasks assigned by the school seriously. He was praised by the whole school for this, and later he was elected as the deputy county magistrate of Shen County.

11950 Director Sun Wenshu further put forward the three general requirements for strengthening students' ideological and political work, improving teaching work, and enhancing students' health at the provincial secondary school symposium. Most of the students in Shenzhen Middle School come from rural areas. Their lifestyle is relatively simple, has certain working habits, is more obedient, and they have strong learning requirements, but some of the purpose of learning still have problems such as one (such as issues of going to school, employment and scholarship). Based on the students' ideological reality, we determined that the focus of our ideological and political work is to cultivate students' learning ideas of learning for the people and serving the people, and to provide students with five love education of "loving the motherland, loving the people, loving science, loving labor, and caring for public property". The patriotic ideological education was the prominent center of ideological education in Shenzhen and Zhongzhong at that time.
June 27, 1950U.S.I. supports South Korea Ri Seung-man crossing 38th parallel invading North Korea's liberated areas. At the same time, the US government announced that it would invade Taiwan Province, which was stationed in our navy. At that time, Chairman Mao called on the people of the whole country to unite and defeat American imperialism.The nationwide vigorous movement to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea began in July 1950. All our teachers and students of Shenzhen Middle School acted immediately, widely publicized and signed autographs, raised funds, and supported the Chinese People's Volunteer Army to the North Korean front to fight the US imperial examination. The campus of Shenzhen Middle School was filled with a strong warm atmosphere of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. In this movement, the students received profound ideological education on patriotism and internationalism, further understood the loveliness of the motherland and the hateful enemy, and greatly improved the ideological awareness of patriotism and internationalism.
Ideological and political education is the basic form of ideological education for students in our school. Under the principle of "teacher responsibility" and "integration of teaching", our class teacher is the specific executor of the school's teaching plan in this class; he is the counselor of the Youth League branch and student union cadres of this class; he is the commander of the grassroots company on the frontline positions of the students' ideological front.
Each class of the school holds a class meeting once a week, and the class teacher will provide ideological education based on the situation of the class. At that time, the class teacher also organized and arranged students' ideological life meetings, and conducted self-education in combination with daily study and life. At the end of the semester or academic year, students are assessed under the guidance of the class teacher, with the purpose of summarizing the grades and finding the gaps and moving to the next level. The school holds a school-wide weekly meeting in the campus square every Monday. Make special reports, ideological summary reports, current affairs reports, etc.
Extracurricular activities are also an important ideological education base.
Shenzhen Middle School girls account for about one-quarter of the students in the school. Girls’ education and boys’ education have their commonalities and specialities. Girls in middle school are different from boys in terms of physiology, psychology, physical strength, and emotions. In order to do a good job in ideological education for girls and take care of their characteristics, the school arranged for female cadres from the teaching department to provide targeted ideological education and life guidance to girls. If some girls still have inferiority or cowardly thoughts, some are not enough to be liberated. Through education, it has improved.
Infiltrating students' ideological and political education into various subject teaching is a characteristic of the ideological and political education work of Shenzhen Middle School. Through political course teaching, democratic revolution education, social development laws, and communist thought education were carried out; in the teaching of our country's history, the achievements created by our ancestors were told, and historical figures who have contributed to the invention of culture, art and science in our country; in the teaching of modern history in our country, the spirit and achievements of the people's anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle were talked about; through the teaching of Chinese courses, education on loving the motherland and loving national literature and art was carried out. Chinese teachers also cultivated students' ability to observe and analyze problems by guiding students to write diaries; through the teaching of various courses in natural science, the ideological education of dialectical materialism, the education on developing agricultural production, the education on loving labor, the education on enhancing national defense construction, and the education on loving the motherland was appropriately carried out.
From the perspective of the time of ideological education in Shenzhen, there are regular ones, such as ideological education in combination with students' daily study and life; there are stages, such as new students' admission education, students' graduation education, and student identification; there are temporary ones, such as ideological education in combination with temporary tasks.

1 The Provincial Department of Education held two meetings in 1950 and 1951, both clearly stated that the basic task of the school is teaching, and the basic form of teaching is classroom teaching.
In order to teach good classes and improve teaching quality, the Teaching Department further strengthened the planning of teaching work and put forward clear requirements for teaching and teaching research work in various subjects; the General Affairs Office further clarified the idea of serving teaching work; each teaching and research group carried out teaching and research activities and professional learning in a planned manner; it clarified that the teacher's responsibilities are to strive to do a good job in undergraduate teaching, and through teaching, implement the comprehensive development education policy to students based on educational goals and teaching principles, and piloted the teacher responsibility system.
Through teaching research, the purpose, planning and position of teaching in various subjects have been enhanced. We pay attention to the connection between theory and practice, and pay attention to the use of heuristics and demonstration experiment methods. Through intuitive teaching, the teaching effect is further improved.When preparing lessons, some listening and teaching inspection activities were carried out to consider students' acceptance ability and how to explain the key points and difficulties. Teachers of all subjects insist on tutoring students for self-study after-class. For example, teachers such as Kang Maiqian, Liu Yuheng, Wu Jianlin, Kang Hexuan, Yan Fei and Baitao, although they have different courses, they all work hard to do their jobs, prepare lessons carefully, give lectures patiently, and provide good teaching quality, and are all well received by students. In addition to doing a good job in teaching, Comrade Kang Maiqian often writes articles for some books, magazines and magazines, and makes more contributions.
The main problem with Shenzhen Middle School teaching at that time was that the textbooks were heavy in weight and did not fully adapt to students' acceptance ability. At that time, the textbooks used in Shenzhen were divided into sections, old ones, substitute ones, and self-written outlines or copy notes. The curriculum standards do not fully comply with the regulations. Streamlining textbooks or supplementing local textbooks has become an urgent problem. Our approach is: Chinese classes are taught according to the textbooks of the Ministry, but the progress must be controlled, and textbooks are not selected at will; political history and geography classes are briefly based on the textbooks, and generally no supplementary materials are added; textbooks of various subjects of natural sciences are taught according to the textbooks, and the content is divided into the main and secondary, and the secondary parts are briefly or not. Except for necessary local textbooks, no supplementary materials are added; old textbooks are taught according to the standard draft, and no other textbooks are taught; music classes are mainly about learning and singing; art classes only talk about practical basic knowledge and pay attention to field practice; physical education classes are self-written outlines, which are concise and easy to understand, and are mainly activities. Another problem in teaching is that teaching aids, instruments, and other teaching aids cannot adapt to teaching needs and affect teaching effectiveness. In order to solve this difficulty, some teachers do it themselves and make teaching aids. For example, Teacher Kang Hexuan collected and made many animal and plant specimens; Teacher Yan Fei drew many geographical posters; Comrade Zhou Dalai dug out the complete bones of a woman buried underground and boiled them in a large pot and made them into a complete teaching aid for the human skeletal system, which improved the teaching effect of physiological hygiene classes.
In addition, the improvement of teachers' teaching professional level also depends on teachers' self-study. For example, Teacher Kang Hexuan usually squeezes time to actively study by himself. Later, he participated in the undergraduate correspondence course for biology held by the Department of Biology of Shijiazhuang Normal University.

Improve students' health is one of the important tasks to ensure that students complete their learning tasks and cultivate modern youth. The central government has made a decision on ensuring students' health. Chairman Mao proposed the policy of "health first" in the spring of 1951. Our province has also issued relevant notices. We at Shenzhen Middle School have also taken a series of measures to improve students' health and have achieved certain results.
We conducted health ideological education through weekly meetings and class meetings; at the student life meeting, we discussed the understanding of health and living hygiene habits; at the student appraisal meeting, health issues were listed as one of the appraisal contents; health education was listed as a must-have item for class teachers' work. Through health education, students' awareness of the importance of health has been improved, and they have realized that health directly affects the development of the three educations of morality, intelligence and beauty. They have realized that "health first" does not mean "health only", and they have realized that health education should be combined with patriotic ideological education.
Appropriately reduces students' learning burden, which is conducive to improving students' health. Simplify the textbooks, and I won’t repeat them here. In order to reduce the burden on students, the homework weight has been appropriately controlled and the quality of homework correction has been improved. Try to demonstrate the exercises in class. Don’t leave too much homework in each subject or do not leave too difficult exercises. Don’t go too far. Some teachers assign more homework, and there is a phenomenon of competing for students to study for their self-study time. In response to this situation, the Education Department stipulated the self-study time for each subject, and made reasonable allocation, gradually overcame the problem of random self-study time, and alleviated the heavy learning burden. In lectures and exams, pay attention to not making outstanding contributions, not rushing forward, not delaying progress, not engaging in competitions, and not letting students copy too much reference materials in class. Consider students' acceptance ability during lectures and try their best to make students understand and digest in class.
streamline the meeting and appropriately control the time of social activities. The measure is to hold fewer meetings and hold short meetings.It is stipulated that the weekly club activities generally do not exceed 2 lessons, the club leaders do not exceed one times the specified time, and the student cadres should try to be one position as much as possible.
Physical hygiene classes and physical education classes teaching further combine it with cultivating students' hygiene habits, learning scientific knowledge of daily life and hygiene, and carrying out physical activities.
provides girls with separate physical hygiene and health thinking education to guide their adolescence hygiene.
has implemented the "prevention-oriented" policy throughout the school. In order to prevent silicone, it is recommended to wash basin for one person, so that girls can prevent women's illnesses, etc.
Health inspection is conducted every semester, and faculty and staff are organized to carry out this work under the auspices of the school doctor. At that time, there was no weight scale, so I hung it on the door head with a large scale stalk, so that the students could measure their weight.
Pay attention to carrying out breaks and cultural and sports activities. County Party Secretary Comrade Gao Zhi and other comrades in the county often come to the school to compete with teachers and students for basketball. Some teachers and staff go to Nanshuitang to swim in summer. After dinner, a free-combination walk and heart-to-heart talk was held. These are all interesting.
In order to protect students' eyesight, classroom seating has been adjusted in stages. The cooking manager also had an ideological conversation on hygiene and health, absorbed student representatives to participate in the gang committee, and announced the food accounts, which were all conducive to improving the students' food.
The main measures to implement the "Health First" policy are generally the case.
Review of life in Shenzhen is desirable. Looking back on the past, under the correct leadership of the Provincial Department of Education, the Shenzhen County Party Committee and the County People's Government, due to the hard work and active improvement of all faculty and staff of Shenzhen Middle School, a lot of progress has been made on the basis of past work achievements. 38 years have passed, and the memory is very inaccurate, so there must be many inappropriate and wrong points. But in order to attract jade, why not throw bricks? Please criticize and correct me, and give me advice.
