Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Pinyin of Chinese characters does not yet exist, or rather it exists but has not yet begun to be popularized across the country. Therefore, Mr. Zhou’s method of teaching Yang Dongxu to read Chinese characters is to force one Chinese character onto another.

Even as a former junior high school student, Yang Dongxu would be beaten every day. No way, these are all traditional Chinese characters, not the simplified Chinese characters he is accustomed to using. There are 30 Chinese characters every day, and most of them, Yang Dongxu, who can only guess at guessing, can recognize more than half of them.

, the rest is memorized like a student's Chinese characters. Of the dozen or so new words a day, there are always one or two that I can't master. If I can't, I'll be slapped on the hand, and my palms will feel hot every time.

The other thing is writing. In the previous life, Yang Dongxu’s handwriting was not very good-looking. Now that we have mobile phones and computers, it is common to not write a word all year round, let alone writing on a wooden board with a brush dipped in water.

So at first, every character written by Yang Dongxu was "dragon flying and phoenix dancing", no matter how big or small it was. There were many strokes in traditional Chinese characters, and it was impossible to write them unless they were made larger, so Yang Dongxu's palms began to suffer again.

Mr. Zhou does not have the humanistic education philosophy of later generations that children can take their time when they are still young. Nowadays, people generally believe that children should be educated strictly from an early age, just like a small tree that is slightly tilted when it is young, it will definitely become crooked when it grows up.

A strict teacher will produce a good disciple, and a stick will produce a filial son. This is very popular in this era. So Mr. Zhou was very strict from the beginning. Every stroke must be done. If he can't do it, the palm of his left hand will suffer directly. As for the right hand, it is used

I can't type anymore while practicing calligraphy.

I don’t know if it’s really the result of typing, or if Yang Dongxu’s little hands don’t have the muscle memory of later generations to connect the letters like a crab crawling. After more than half a month of beating, his left hand was almost swollen into a steamed bun. How much is Yang Dongxu’s calligraphy?

It's starting to look a bit like this.

After brush calligraphy passed the test, hard-pen calligraphy was also put on the agenda. There was no need to think about fountain pens, which were the standard equipment for intellectuals in this era. Hero brand or Parker pens were now luxury goods.

If you are a teacher or an official, if you have one pin on your chest, that is the beauty of an intellectual. If you have two pins on your chest, you will definitely be a great intellectual. As for the other three... I'm sorry you are a pen repairer.

Yes, pen repairing is also a profession in this era, and it requires highly skilled workers, which is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

Since there are no pens, even ink is a luxury, so pencils are used instead for hard-pen calligraphy practice. A pencil costs one penny and can last for several days. Those pencil tips in my sister’s schoolbag that are almost unbearable are Yang Dongxu’s best choice.

.

At the beginning of the Three-Character Classic, after the Thousand-Character Essay, there was an ancient poem every day, and within a month I started to read some classical Chinese texts. For some simple chemistry, I only taught some element names and characters, reaction formulas, etc., and memorized them by myself.

English is not very popular in China right now. The first choice is Russian. Even if we have fallen out with the big brother in the north, there are still many more people who can speak Russian than English in China.

There is no problem with memorizing. Children have good memories, and with the mature thinking of Yang Dongxu, who is in his forties, the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic are just side dishes. As for an ancient poem every day, if you meet him, he will know it.

It saves even more time.

He doesn't want to be a scientist in chemistry, and Mr. Zhou is not a teacher in this field, so he just memorizes the formulas. As for the various element reactions, molecules, atoms, movement, or chemical experiments, he puts them aside first.

Russian has become Yang Dongxu’s nemesis. The curling of the tongue or various vibratos almost made Yang Dongxu tongue-tied on the first day. Moreover, Mr. Zhou doesn’t have any primary school textbooks in Russian here, and the thick Marxist-Leninist textbooks are straight to the point.

Yang Dongxu died.

"Read this paragraph again." Zhou Yiren pointed at the Russian book that looked like ghost drawings and clicked on a paragraph in it.

Yang Dongxu took a deep breath and swung his tongue a few times, as if he was warming up his body before doing gymnastics in physical education class. Then, the pronunciation of the words exploded in the room like a fool who couldn't control his big tongue.

"Four words are wrong. Here...here...and here..." Zhou Yiren raised the bamboo board in his hand and hit Yang Dongxu's head four times.

I don’t know if it’s because Zhou Yiren is too busy because he no longer has to feed cattle, or because he hasn’t taught students in 1989. His enthusiasm for education erupted like a volcano. Ever since he first agreed to teach Yang Dongxu, Yang Dongxu began to regret being a student.

This move builds relationships.

Now he has no time to think about how to build relationships. Completing schoolwork every day without getting beaten has consumed all his energy. Especially seeing his progress, his parents actually sent him a fish, a chicken, dumplings and fruits in the countryside.

After receiving the extremely high-paying four-color gift, he was in a mixed doubles mode with teachers and parents.

"You are very smart, but you don't pay attention. You think about all these messy things in your mind every day. How will you get into college in the future?" Read each wrong part ten times and found that there are no mistakes. I asked Yang Dongxu to copy this paragraph ten times with a pencil.

Zhou Yiren said with some hatred that iron cannot become steel.

Yang Dongxu is very smart and can be admitted to university. This is what Zhou Yiren told his parents. This is also the reason why his parents gave Zhou Yiren a four-color gift.

It's a pity that rural people don't have a long-term vision. Although they hope that their sons can go to college and eat commercial grain in the city, they don't want to delay the work in the fields, so the four hours at noon every day are already the time Yang Dongxu's parents have squeezed out.

At other times, he needs to take care of his sister and cannot interfere with his parents going to the fields.

Whenever he thinks that his students spend most of their time not studying, but taking a little girl with a runny nose and making mischief with a group of brats, Zhou Yiren gets angry. But the countryside is like this now. Yang Dongxu's mother can't

He is not a child, and even his grandfather does not stand by him on this matter. He can only endure it if he is angry.

But Yang Dongxu is indeed smart. After teaching for so many years, especially the students taught at Yenching University, it can be said that they were all the top students in China at that time, and no one was found to be smarter than Yang Dongxu.

That child learned to read on the first day, and after being taught twenty new words, he could remember more than half of them in a few minutes? And he could remember almost all of them the next day? Although he couldn't read when he wrote, this has nothing to do with being smart.

So Zhou Yiren taught 30 words on the second day, and Yang Dongxu barely remembered them. On the third day, the number increased to 50 words. In less than a week, Yang Dongxu could barely read some classical Chinese by himself. Never mind such a smart student.

, he had never heard of it before.

So all kinds of teaching began to double and the speed continued to increase. He wanted to see where the limit of this smart kid was. If Yang Dongxu knew that he wanted to be smart first and leave a good impression on Zhou Yiren, he was afraid that he would dislike him.

If you are stupid and don’t teach yourself, you will be self-defeating and your homework will increase in geometric forms. Will you cry without tears...

In fact, Zhou Yiren had wronged Yang Dongxu. It was not that he was not serious about his study, but he was very serious about it. He even used his energy to suck milk. However, he had never learned Russian in his previous life, and he knew more English than Russian.

But Zhou Yiren obviously didn't expect this. He only felt that when Yang Dongxu was so smart when learning Chinese characters, but he struggled so hard in Russian, he was cheating. Even if Chinese pronunciation is indeed faster due to the living environment, the speed of learning Russian cannot be as fast as before.

Comparing the speed of a snail and a rabbit? In an instant, Yang Dongxu's study turned into hell mode... His palms were burning all day long.

After Yang Dongxu finished copying the Russian text, Zhou Yiren pointed to the side with the bamboo board: "Read these and then tell me how you feel."

Zhou Yiren was referring to a stack of newspapers. Since an official named Chen Weimin from the district commissioner came to Yangjiacun in a hurry more than a month ago, Zhou Yiren refused to leave and said that things were not yet mature. His life has improved to some extent. The newspaper has been around for a week.

Someone also sent a lot of them, and the specialist would come over from time to time to talk to Zhou Yiren and Zhuye.

The commissioner is naturally the regional commissioner, so to speak, he is the top leader. Yang Dongxu knows the mayor, municipal party committee secretary and so on. In these days, he only has a partial understanding of the regional commissioner and so on and does not understand them very well.

However, this commissioner is a student of Zhou Yiren. The purpose of coming here is to rehabilitate some people because the erroneous high pressure from above has begun to loosen. A wave of great redress has begun, and Yang Dongxu still knows about these things.

However, out of caution, Mr. Zhou was prepared to wait and see for the time being, and did not submit materials, or contacted some former colleagues and friends to wait a little longer, which relieved Yang Dongxu.

After reading all the newspapers, Yang Dongxu folded the newspapers and put them down and looked at Mr. Zhou.

"Tell me what you think." Zhou Yiren stood up and walked around the room a few times, stretching his aching body.

"Well...it seems like a special zone is going to be set up." Yang Dongxu scratched his head and said.

"Oh." Zhou Yiren was stunned for a moment, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He walked to the newspaper in a few steps, opened a newspaper and read it for a few times. His eyes began to shine as he looked at Yang Dongxu and asked, "What is the basis for your feeling?"

?”

Yang Dongxu was a little dumbfounded for a moment. What basis did he have? The establishment of the special zone was a memory he dug out from the depths of his mind after thinking hard, because he worked in a state-owned enterprise in Shenzhen in his previous life.

Once, someone from a state-owned enterprise came to inspect, so the leader gathered all the workers and conducted a nonsense knowledge training. At that time, the training basically consisted of scratching the beard and eyebrows, including the development history of Shenzhen's establishment of special economic zones.

"Didn't the newspaper say that we need to reform and develop the economy? To develop the economy is to do business. To do business, you must choose a place to do business, right?" Yang Dongxu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said.

The newspapers Zhou Yiren showed him were not just the latest, but could be traced back to the beginning of last year. So Yang Dongxu had an impression of some general things, so he could only piece them together to organize them.

To be honest, apart from heavy schoolwork and corporal punishment, Zhou Yiren is a qualified teacher and a teacher with a long-term vision. His teaching never sticks to textbooks and sometimes extends to some social environments at the time, such as

Reading the newspaper to summarize is to let Yang Dongxu combine the actual situation in China while studying.

"What else?" Yang Dongxu's words made Zhou Yiren's eyes brighter.
