The reporter learned from the interview that in 1906, this primary school faced east to west, with rammed earth walls, grass covering and earth surface. It was named Shimenkan Guanghua Primary School and officially enrolled students, and has served in teaching for 51 years. The school's first batch of students enrolled a total of 21 students. The students were not school-age children but teenagers, and some students were over 40 years old. The school also has a dormitory for female teachers of more than 50 square meters. Later, the school was converted into a warehouse, which fell into disrepair.In 1996, the primary school teaching building of Shimen Nationalities School was expanded on the original site of the school.

In 1908, Bergley returned to the UK to recover from his injuries, but he did not forget the poverty and backwardness of the people in Shimenkan, and still called on all walks of life in the UK to raise funds from the people in Shimenkan. Among them, Guanghua Higher Primary School was built with a donation of 2,000 pounds from an elderly British citizen. In 1912, when the original facilities could not meet the school's educational needs, additional facilities such as a slender house, a swimming pool, and a large hall were added. After Shimen Middle School was established in 1943, the long house and the main hall served as the school's classrooms, dormitories and dining rooms. From 1996 to 1999, the school fell into disrepair and was rebuilt into the junior high school teaching building of Shimen Nationalities School.

In 1943, led by enlightened people such as Zhu Huanzhang and Yang Dizhong, based on the upper primary school of Shimenkan Guanghua Primary School, the "Southwest Frontier Private Shimenkan Junior High School" was founded. In 1947, it was renamed "Private Shimenkan Junior High School". In 1952 It was renamed as Weining Shimen National Middle School in Guizhou Province in 1982. In 1982, it merged with Shimen Primary School to form the nine-year Weining Shimen National School.

Li Zhengdong was very impressed when talking about the reading environment and conditions in the past.

"I was born and raised in Shimen Township. I started working in 1993 and have been engaged in education for 24 years. When we were studying, students today were not as happy as today!

The conditions for children to study now are very good. Students in compulsory education are all free, boarding school, and the weather is sunny and sunny. It doesn’t matter if it rains..."

"On the afternoon of February 23, the reporter was on the campus of Shimen National Middle School in Weining. From time to time, he heard the sound of piano coming from a distance. It was melodious and soul-stirring. Even the snowflakes floating in the sky that day were melodious. Dancing to the rhythmic accompaniment of... "The reporter followed the sound of the piano.

The bell rang after class, and a man walked out from the music room wearing a royal blue down jacket, with thick black hair, a pair of black glasses on a high bridge of nose, and moderately thick red lips. The man with a dazzling smile. Li Zhengdong pointed at this man and said, this is Feng Xinnan, the school’s music teacher.

“The gap in teaching is huge! At that time, the school was under construction and water, electricity and other facilities and equipment were not completed. Before I came to the school, the school had no professional music teachers, no piano, electronic keyboard, and other musical equipment. The students relied entirely on the teacher's pronunciation to judge the staff, and the students' sounds were very vague... "Feng Xinnan told reporters about his feelings.

It is understood that 23-year-old Feng Xinnan from Hunan is one of the members of the Wuhan University graduate student teaching group. Wuhan University graduate student The teaching team supports teaching in three hinterlands of Guizhou, Xinjiang, and Sichuan. In July last year, under the arrangement of the Guizhou Youth League Committee, he came to Shimen Township, Weining, one of the 20 extremely poor towns in Guizhou.

According to Feng Xinnan, he went with him. There are five people in the teaching team. Some of them are teachers of art, physical education, dance, computer and other subjects. Before they came to the school, the teachers here taught 19 classes a day, and the teachers not only taught Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages ​​and other subjects, They also take subjects such as music, physical education, and art, and they are not professional in music, physical education, or art, and they do not have professional equipment for the corresponding subjects. When he takes music classes, the only music equipment he brings is the guitar. When they began to receive professional music teaching, they were full of curiosity and ignorance.

Now, the educational resources enjoyed by these children in the mountains are no worse than those in the city. The school is equipped with a piano and 30 electronic keyboards for students to use. The grade has 8 music classes per week. Students have close contact with music equipment. After a period of professional training, most students can skillfully play songs on the electronic keyboard.

"Supporting teachers are the guides of the professionalism of excellent teachers. As a teacher, if you do not have the experience of supporting teaching, it is as regretful as a man who did not serve in the army, and it is also a setback in his educational career. "It's a pity," said Xiao Qiong, a supporting teacher at Weining Yunlu Primary School. Xiao Qiong, 53, has been working in education for 34 years since she started working in 1983. She said: "Working today and working tomorrow is called a career; working tomorrow and working the day after tomorrow is called a career.

Last year, Xiao Qiong came to teach at Yunlu Primary School in the township from the No. 2 Primary School in Weining County. "On the first day I came to Yunlu Primary School, I walked 6 kilometers (round trip) to buy a pack of salt. Later, the villagers told me that they could buy it in Luyun. I walked around and only saw one selling jelly. , clothes sellers... Although the conditions are very difficult, the students, parents, and teachers are very simple, and rural students do not have as much cerebellum as urban students," Xiao Qiong said.

There used to be 40 classes in the second primary school with a total of more than 3,000 people. The teaching process throughout the semester was very intense and I felt very tired. Now I feel very relaxed at Yunlu Primary School. Teachers and students get along very harmoniously like a family.

"Life in the city is fast-paced and stressful. A change of environment and a change of mind. In my spare time, I dug about 200 On a square meter of land, crops such as pea tips, potatoes, and cereals are planted. I feel the leisurely life, the tranquility of nature, and the pleasant air. At the same time, in such a pollution-free nature, it brings more convenience to my writing. So much inspiration." Xiao Qiong said happily.

In rural areas, most students travel to study, and some even walk more than 10 kilometers to study. "One day, a student in my class came to school holding an umbrella, but he was all wet, so he asked what happened. The student said: 'Teacher, when I was walking, the grass and other vegetation on both sides of the road were wet with dew. These It's not easy for children to go to school!'" Xiao Qiong said sadly.

"This year, I teach Chinese to sixth graders. In a short period of time, I cannot teach them a lot of knowledge, but my concern and a look of praise can change their lives. At the same time, I must teach them how to be grateful. I Tell my students that there are many departments and companies to help everyone study, and not everyone gets this help for nothing," Xiao Qiong said.

"Last year, two teachers came to Shimen to support teaching under my influence. Now I can't bear to leave Yunlu Primary School. It is the most ideal rural primary school in my mind." Xiao Qiong said.

She relies on her aunt and brother to work to earn money to support her and her younger sister's daily expenses. Last year, Xiong Qingzhu was admitted to Weining Shimen National Middle School and studied in the second class of seventh grade. After her class teacher Ruan Dianxi learned about the situation, she first exempted her from school uniform fees and included her in the file of poor students, and then found relevant leaders to help her win various poverty alleviation grants.

The reporter quickly calculated a financial account for Xiong Qingzhu from the various poverty alleviation funds she received. Her average monthly income can reach 870.83 yuan.
