On December 5, 2021, Chen Wei, principal and deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Fuzhou No. 3 Middle School, passed away due to illness at the age of 53. Chen Wei graduated from Fujian Normal University in 1990 and worked in Fuzhou No. 3 Middle School. He served as the secretary of the Party Branch and Party Secretary of Fuzhou Pingtung Middle School, the principal of Fuzhou No. 8 Middle School and the principal of Aofeng Junior High School. During his lifetime, he was the principal of Fuzhou No. 3 Middle School and the deputy secretary of the Party Committee. In September 2010, Chen Wei was diagnosed with tongue cancer. He continued to stick to his education position until he died of ineffective treatment.

30 years of education career, he devoted all his heart and silently became an "omnipotent" "lighter" and lit up the road ahead of countless teachers and students.

It’s too late to

“I want to go back to No. 3 Middle School, and there are still many things to do”

“I want to go back to No. 3 Middle School! I have many things to do, and there are too late…”

One late at night at the end of 2021, I was seriously ill in bed for many days. Chen Wei, the principal of Fuzhou No. 3 Middle School, suddenly pulled out various tubes on his body and rushed out of the ward.

"It's so dark, I can't go to work. Can we go again tomorrow dawn?" His wife Ye Ping knew that he was seriously ill and had hallucinations. She endured the grief and coaxed and persuaded her, and took Chen Wei back from the ward corridor.

heart rate is more than 130 per minute, and every breath is as tired as if you have just finished a marathon. That night, Chen Wei fell into a "delirium" state, extubated the tube, rushed out of the ward, wanted to go back to school, was persuaded to return, and repeated four times... He did not let go of his students and his unfinished education career for a moment.

"Clean up, I'll go and check out the dormitory." At a heart rate that is twice that of an ordinary person, it's too difficult to speak. Chen Wei could only hold his pen and try his best to write a notice on the paper, "Students with a pulse of 130/minute are temporarily suspended from school and go to the hospital for examination."...

The notice Chen Wei wrote at the last time in his life can even see the wrong lines, typos, and the messy lines drawn due to the loss of force. Photo provided by the interviewee

Since being diagnosed with tongue cancer in September 2010, Chen Wei has been tenaciously fighting the disease. Chemotherapy and medicine, and if you have any hope, you will work hard. On the sickbed, he was still conceiving the 80th anniversary of Fuzhou No. 3 Middle School in 2022, insisting on learning to strengthen the country. In the final circle of friends, the news of teaching, research, moral education, and aesthetic education is as usual "advertising".

“I want to create a miracle!” Chen Wei, who was sick, kept talking to his wife. He was afraid that it would be too late, and he couldn't let it go. On the hospital bed, Chen Wei held his wife's hand for a long time, "Wife, I'm sorry for you, you have to live well. If there is only one week left, I want to go back and spend time with my parents."

In his life, he has overcome countless difficulties and created many miracles, but unfortunately he failed to overcome the obstacles set by Death this time. At 6:00 on December 5, 2021, Chen Wei left this world he was extremely concerned about and nostalgic.

In January this year, the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government posthumously awarded Comrade Chen Wei the title of "Outstanding People's Teacher of Fujian Province". Recently, the Propaganda Department of the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to posthumously award Comrade Chen Wei the title of "Fu Fujian Model".

steps non-stop

"To run a school that makes people feel warm"

Looking back at Chen Wei's more than 30 years of education career, he keeps running and is running to "run a school that makes people feel warm".

From Fuzhou No. 3 Middle School, to Pingtung Middle School, Fuzhou No. 8 Middle School, and finally returned to Fuzhou No. 3 Middle School. He is a ferryman from the sea of ​​learning. On the podium, he can draw a standard circle with his own circles, and explain the rotation and revolution of the earth in sweat, making every student happy to learn.

He is the pioneer of the new school. In the 11 years of fighting cancer, Fuzhou No. 8 Middle School Sanjiangkou Campus has been built from the "empty shell" school building on the wasteland into an oasis of knowledge. He created the first Sino-US and Sino-Australia classes, introduced the first Tsinghua doctorate in the field of basic education in the province, and was selected as the first batch of demonstration general high schools in the province...

jumps long in front of the sand pit, plays ball with students, roams in the flea market, and have dinner with teachers and students in the cafeteria... His figure is in every corner of the campus, love and warmth are the main tone of his life and the seeds of his constant protection.

Chen Wei proposed early on that there are no "problem students", only students in relatively unfavorable situations. We must maximize the realization and development of human nature, human dignity, and human potential in the process of education, and cultivate a "complete person".

"He always looks at children with a long-term and developmental perspective. The 'being good person' activity is a kind of soft and kind guidance." Now, Ye Hui, who is the director of the Moral Education Department of Pingtung Middle School, recalled.

Treat children with "igniting, awakening, waiting, and fulfilling". This is Chen Wei's educational experience. He never blames students, but tells every teacher to be more patient, see the shining parts of the students, and listen to the sound of the joints and ears.

In 2008, under his promotion, Pingtung Middle School became popular with the trend of "being good people". Three students who had been punished immediately took the initiative to see someone robbing their mobile phones. When the children were praised by the police, they said, "Can we tell the teacher so that we can also go to the good people list?" The child's simple words made the people present laugh. The silent guidance of moistening things gives children who have made mistakes the opportunity to prove themselves and be kind and upright.

In the first year of cancer, he and his colleagues transplanted three trees after several twists and turns beside the Sports and Art Museum of Fuzhou No. 8 Middle School. "In the future, the three trees will be lush and lush, and this place will definitely be a famous attraction at No. 8 Middle School, called Sankes." In December that year, Chen Wei happily looked forward to the future with his students at the opening ceremony of the new semester.

Now, the trees planted that year are as tall as a cover. "The ideals and beliefs he brings to the students will also accompany them on every road to walking with the motherland," said Lian Renchang, principal of Fuzhou No. 8 Middle School.

Can't forget

"He is my guide"

"Are you anxious? Do it well! If you have any difficulties, please let me coordinate." One day in October 2021, Chen Wei gave a "three-game question and answer" for the work he received feedback as usual. But when they parted, he said something more to Chen Yinghao, a young teacher who walked out of the elevator to attend classes, "I'll take a look at the school at the end."

More than a month later, Chen Wei passed away. "How could it be so fast? We haven't fully grown up yet, why did he leave..." Thinking of the principal, Chen Yinghao choked up and felt sad.

On December 12, 2021, the Fujian Provincial Department of Education held a memorial service for Chen Wei. At the meeting, many colleagues and students who lived were crying. More teachers and students mourn him online: He is the "guidor" of students and teachers, burning himself to "light the lamp" for those who are latecomers.

In 2019, Chen Wei was transferred to the position of principal of Fuzhou No. 3 Middle School, which was the first year of the large-scale recruitment of new teachers in Fuzhou No. 3 Middle School. In his induction conversation, Chen Yinghao mentioned that he wanted to do research in classroom teaching. He thought it was just a normal chat, but he didn't expect that Chen Wei took all of these to heart.

In June 2021, Principal Chen Wei found him and said to him, "The school can be responsible for the growth of new teachers within three years, but it depends on you in three years. I want to organize a Youth Teacher Professional Development Committee among the newly hired young teachers in the school, so that they can do research on moral education, teaching, and education informatization. When I joined the company, I heard you say that I want to do research on classroom teaching. Would you like to come together?"

Chen Wei still smiled and calmly handed over the heavy responsibility to the newcomers who had just entered the industry. In fact, he has also tailored various growth directions for different teacher groups. The spring bamboo shoots plan for young teachers, the role model plan for middle-aged teachers, the master plan for senior teachers, etc.After the torch, he pointed out a road that reaches all directions for the later generations.

Unlike the "heart" of teachers, Chen Wei seems a little "not caring" about himself. When he opened his resume, he did not have the title of "special teacher" or "provincial and municipal discipline leaders". He always said: "I don't need it. I have to leave opportunities to teachers. Teachers are the 'root' and 'soul' of educational development."

On April 3, 2022, Fuzhou No. 3 Middle School sent a letter to the people of the city, reporting to Principal Chen Wei that he cares about the development of the school he cares about the most. Everyone dares to forget the earnest teachings. Every dream he has guarded is growing harder toward the sun. "Thank you for giving me such a beautiful youth." A student left a message online, which is also the common voice of many students.

"How beautiful life is, let's look to the future together." On the back blackboard of the classroom of Fuzhou No. 3 Middle School, the students' youthful expressions fill the picture. On campus, the sound of books remains the same, the laughter remains, and the love and warmth remain the same.
