On June 5, Changchi Town, Nanjiang County, Bazhong, was deserted,
Many people spontaneously came to the streets to "send exams" for local college entrance examination students.
It is reported that
This tradition has lasted for more than 30 years in Changchi Town.
"Come on for a long time, win in the long time! Come on, we will win!" At around 8:30 am on June 5, after the graduation ceremony and college entrance examination ceremony, accompanied by the loud gongs and drums, 1,462 senior high school students from Changchi Middle School, Nanjiang County, Bazhong City boarded the bus and prepared to set off for Nanjiang County to prepare for the exam.
is led by a police car, and 48 buses loaded with candidates are slowly driving out, and each car has words to cheer for the students. Following closely behind is the team of teachers accompanying the exam. "This year there are a total of 25 classes, and we have arranged 57 teachers to accompany you." According to Sun Zhihao, the leader of the senior year of the school, this year's senior year.
The predecessor of Changchi Middle School was founded during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1880 AD) and has a history of more than a hundred years. As for when did the "send to the exam" start? Sun Zhihao said that it can be traced back to the 1980s. "At first, the bus organized by the school simply sent the candidates to the county town." Then, more than 30 years have passed, "sending the exam" has almost become a tradition in Changchi Town. "On this day, almost the people in the town will participate in this 'Ten Thousand People', which is more lively than any festival." The scene of "Ten Thousand People's Test" was spectacular and shocking, and became the focus of the entire network for a time. Behind the phenomenon is the desire of ordinary families to "jump the dragon gate". However, what kind of school is it that is so high-than-expected?
This is a rural school
More than 70% of left-behind students
Changchi Middle School is located in Changchi Town, Nanjiang County, Bazhong City. It is a large town with a permanent population of more than 50,000, but it is about 60 kilometers away from Bazhong City and more than 40 kilometers away from Nanjiang County. But when it comes to Changchi Middle School, almost everyone in Bazhong knows it.
The predecessor of the school was founded in Longchi Academy during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1880 AD), and has a history of more than a hundred years. However, located in the township, most of the students come from the town or surrounding townships, so Changchi Middle School is a veritable rural school.
At the same time, it integrates junior high school and high school, which is also a complete middle school with more than 5,000 students. "73% of the children in the school are left-behind students. Their parents work outside all year round and leave the baby to the elderly or other relatives for care." According to principal Yan Banghui. The same is true for
.
At 8 a.m. on June 5, when the school held the 2021 graduation ceremony and the college entrance examination ceremony, many parents carrying large and small bags gathered behind the students' phalanx, who came to take the exam specially to take the exam.
One of the parents who carried a basket of eggs and dressed in a simple manner was named Luo Fubi. She is from Lianhua Village, Changchi Town. Before this year, she had been working in Yunnan with her husband, and only decided to stay at home to accompany her daughter to take the exam after the Spring Festival. It took less than an hour to walk from Changchi Middle School in Lianhua Village, but she was afraid of being late, so she set off at 5 a.m. She specially bought a few small buns of buns at the school gate and told her daughter not to go hungry. After sending her daughter away, she went to the market to sell the eggs she had on her back.
"Accompanying the study" is more common
drives the economic development of the town
"Two steamed buns cost 2 yuan, one bun 1 yuan 5 yuan." 52-year-old Jiang Shuhua is the owner of a breakfast shop near the gate of Changchi Middle School. A few years ago, she was also a member of the parents of the candidates.
Why settled in Changchi Town? Jiang Shuhua said bluntly that it was all for the sake of his children. Her family originally lived in Qingshan Village, Hongguang Town, the county. The turning point occurred 12 years ago. "At that time, the eldest daughter was just in the second grade of junior high school, and the younger son was in the sixth grade of elementary school. Both children had not had good grades and were not intimate with us." According to Jiang Shuhua, before coming to Changchi Town, she and her husband had worked in Fujian for many years, and the children were taken care of by their grandparents. "Every time they came back, they always complained about us, saying that other people's parents were around, but they were left-behind children."
In order to take care of their children, Jiang Shuhua and her husband made up their minds and spent all their savings to buy this shop in Changchi Town. Work starts at 5 a.m. every day and finishes at 8 p.m. It has been 12 years since the days flickered.
Jiang Shuhua's hair was dyed white again after dyeing it. Fortunately, his children lived up to expectations. They both got into college, walked out of the mountains, and stayed in the big city to work.
Compared with most other nearby towns, Changchi Town can be regarded as a large town with better economic conditions in terms of street appearance and quantity and quality of shops. Many residents bluntly stated that it was developed education that promoted the prosperity of the town.
Yan Banghui provided a set of dining data for the canteen. There are more than 5,000 students in the school, and only five or six hundred people often eat at school. "It's not that the school is not able to provide food. There are indeed more parents who accompany them to study, and there is also a parent who cooks for several students."
"Send the exam" into a traditional town
Parents and the masses spontaneously come to
Changchi Town's 2021 government work report mentioned that the town's college entrance examination results in 2020 continued to lead the county, with 148 people going online for the college entrance examination, 612 people going online for the second-tier university, and 3 students were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.
According to Yan Banghui, there is only one high school in Changchi Middle School in the town. In addition to excellent teaching achievements, the most impressive thing about the school is the "send exam" scene with a crowded crowd.
In this regard, Yan Banghui believes that this is inseparable from the traditional culture of Changchi Town that respects culture and education. "Changchi Town is one of the core areas of Bashan farming and reading culture, and advocates farming to support the family and read the glory." In Yan Banghui's view, it is precisely this cultural atmosphere that has formed the awareness of the people of Changchi respecting and attaching importance to education.
According to Yan Banghui, most of the people who actively participate in the "sending exam" every year are parents or relatives of the students. "After all, it is related to the future and destiny of their children. No matter how far away they are, they will come back." In addition, there are people who come spontaneously in the town. "It has formed a tradition, which is indeed more lively than any festival in the town."
On the same day, a letter of thanks in red and yellow letters was specially erected at the school gate, but it was not prepared by the school. "It was done by the government. I would like to thank the caring companies and caring people who provide the candidates with big gift packages for the candidates." Yan Banghui said that in addition to preparing for the graduation ceremony and the college entrance examination promotion ceremony, the school almost all other activities were spontaneously spontaneously. "Even the waist drum team and the volunteers who maintain order were not invited by the school."
reporter noticed that at the "test delivery" site, there was even a refueling team spontaneously organized by the driving school to "escort" the candidates all the way...
May the candidates take everyone's most sincere blessings to the examination room, and the
wish to be the golden list, and the future is promising!
