"Only when I am with my students, I feel at ease." After the first day of school opening after the winter vacation, Guo Yumian, a teacher at Leting Comprehensive Vocational School who was affectionately called "Mama Guo" by students, returned to school on time. She had just finished her eighth chemotherapy for ovarian cancer .
On the morning of March 25, Teacher Guo Yumian attended the flag-raising ceremony with his classmates as usual. His agile steps, kind smile, and gentle greetings. Apart from a wig that had to be worn due to chemotherapy, the reporter could not tell that she was a patient with cancer. Walking on campus, facing the children she loved deeply, Teacher Guo smiled. That smile was the warmest sunshine on campus. That smile was like her name, moistening her heart like the endless spring rain.
1 student is the treasure in her palm
Guo Yumian, 55 years old this year, is a teacher at Leting Comprehensive Vocational and Technical School. In the 30 years since she started working, she has faced the worst student in high schools in the county, but every student is the treasure in her palm.
"Teacher Guo is like our mother. We will tell her the first time if there is any problem." Liu Qi, a student in the auto repair class, said that he was once an introverted student, and sometimes there were conflicts with his classmates because he didn't communicate much. "After learning about the situation, Teacher Guo talked to me many times, and every word she said was engraved in my heart." "Once, my pants were torn a big hole, and I ran to ask Teacher Guo to sew it for me as soon as possible, and it felt like I was going to find my mother." Li Zhi, a student in the auto repair class, said of Teacher Guo, his eyes full of dependence and gratitude.
Speaking of her students, Teacher Guo knew it carefully: "My student Xiao Han was so 'naked' when he first entered the school. He is now an excellent employee of Kailuan Group; the naughty Xiao Li is now working in our county vehicle management office and performs very well; several students who love beauty wear too little in winter, so I keep an eye on them wearing more..." In Guo Yumian's heart, no matter what kind of student she is, she will not give up. As long as Guo Yu is watered with love like spring rain, the students who are difficult to manage and the chaotic classes will eventually become energetic.
2 Family support makes her full of strength
For more than 0 years, Guo Yumian has regarded the school as her second home and students as her relatives. "I do owe my son too much and my family too much." When talking about family, the strong and optimistic Guo Yumian's eyes were a little wet. Her parents are sick, but she rarely stays with her; her lover silently takes on many family responsibilities and often drives to accompany her to visit her home on her rest days. Guo Yumian often wears his son's clothes and shoes for students in need of family. The snacks he bought from the supermarket are sometimes taken away by his mother before they are opened. "We understand and support her." The son often tells others that his mother is his pride and role model.
From 1999 to 2013, in addition to completing the teaching and class teacher work of 6 classes in the school, Teacher Guo has been collaborating with the Employment Office, County Employment Bureau, and Port Safety Supervision Bureau to conduct reemployment, production safety and other training, with more than 40,000 people and has received unanimous praise. On December 30, 2008, in order to complete the worker training at Jiahua Coking Plant, Mr. Guo Yumian had to give up the plan to accompany his son to Shijiazhuang to take the art professional examination.
"Mom, I'll go to Sichuan to have a chance, don't worry." Just as I was preparing for class, Guo Yumian received a text message from her son who had poor grades in the provincial joint examination. The son was shutting down thousands of miles away and lost contact. Her husband was on a business trip. Hundreds of workers had just got off the night shift and were waiting to listen to her lecture. At this time, Guo Yumian was as anxious as lightning. "While I asked my relatives and friends in Shijiazhuang to help find it, I ran to the classroom and cried all the way." Even though my heart was extremely collapsed, Guo Yumian still walked onto the podium with a smile on her face.
Fortunately, Guo Yumian's son was quickly found and forgiven his mother. After the school leaders learned indirectly, they criticized her for not informing the school in time. However, Guo Yumian said: "The school gave me the task, so I can't give up half of it!"
October 22 last year was Guo Yumian's son's wedding date.本该帮儿子收拾新房、准备结婚的各项事宜,可就在10月初,郭雨绵却要奔赴天津带领学生工学交替,直到儿子结婚前一周才回到了家里,匆忙准备结婚。
3 I suffer from cancer and still care about my students
October 2017 to June 2018 is the most special day in Guo Yumian's career as she is about to retire. In order to help students achieve a "soft landing" from classroom to work, the school sends students to Beijing and Tianjin enterprises to carry out practical learning, that is, "replacement of engineering and learning". The factory-based teachers need to "accompany" throughout the whole process, supervise students and deal with emergencies, which is very difficult to work.这时,郭雨绵主动请缨:“就让我站好最后一班岗吧!”
驻厂期间,郭雨绵尽心“陪护”,但学生们不知道,这些年来,郭雨绵饱受多种慢性疾病折磨……
“去年六月份,我突然感觉肚子剧烈疼痛。”郭雨绵说,忍着身体的不适,一直坚持到工学交替结束。 During the physical examination after returning to school, Guo Yumian was eventually diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
The sixteenth day of the first lunar month, 2019, is the day when school starts. Guo Yumian put on a wig and returned to school with a bright look. "When I see the children, I feel comfortable and at ease, and the illness will be cured faster." (Yanzhao Metropolis Daily Jidong Edition Reporter Liu Chao)
