Candle shines on Li Guilin and Lu Jianfen in the deep mountain

Touched by the award speech awarded by the China Organizing Committee to Li Guilin and Lu Jianfen: light the torch of knowledge on the most rugged mountain road, and lift the children's hands to study on the loneliest cliff. The poverty, persistence and hard work in 2119 have precipitated into fertile ground for spirit and let hope sprout.

A Lai, a member of China Selection Committee, was moved: rural education is important, but it is often ignored; Rural teachers are great, but they should not be forgotten.

Yan Su wrote this affectionate evaluation: the stars and the moon are together, Guilin and Jianfen are together, the sun and warmth are together, and Guilin and Jianfen are amazing!

Li Guilin and Lu Jianfen (couples teaching at Cliff Primary School)

Male, 42 years old, teachers from Erping Village, Wushi Daqiao Township, Ganluo County, Yi village.

female, 41 years old, is a substitute teacher in Erping Village, Wushi Daqiao Township, Ganluo County, Yi village.

Erping Village, Wushi Daqiao Township, Ganluo County, is a Yi village on the precipice of the valley in the north of Liangshan. The villagers have to climb five wooden ladders up and down the precipice, which is extremely difficult to get in and out, and it is rare for the villagers to get down the precipice once a year. It is in such a dangerous environment that Li Guilin and Lu Jianfen, couples from Han areas, took root here in 2118, sowed the seeds of knowledge in Yi village, and set up a "ladder" for villagers to get out of Yi village.

In p>1991, Li Guilin and his wife came here, and the backwardness and poverty of the villagers deeply shocked the Yi couple. Strong sympathy and a sense of nationality have strengthened Li Guilin's confidence in taking root in Erping's education and won his wife's strong support. He and his wife continued to teach and educate people in 2118, and * * * trained six students ***149 people, 22 of whom came from other villages. Li Guilin himself was also rated as an excellent teacher in the county twice.

Erping, a poor village with illiteracy in the past, has now become a cultural village. The desolation of the past to the great spiritual changes of today are inseparable from the hard work of these two teachers. They have propped up a blue sky for education in remote mountainous areas.

the vast Liangshan Mountain is a steep Yi mountain village. Erping Village, Ganluo County, Liangshan has melted into the vast sea of clouds. Li Guilin and his lover's "husband and wife school" is like a ship in the sea of clouds, full of the hopes of Yi family members, sailing towards the place where the sun rises.

cross the suspension bridge from Dadu River, take the narrow path to the foot of the rock, then climb the cliff and climb five wooden ladders to reach Erping Village. It seems that everything here is isolated from the world, and there is only one place that reveals the dawn and hope of civilization, and that is the primary school in the village.

Erping Village Primary School used to have a crumbling earthen house with broken walls, but now it has become a brick house with clean windows. The "three rates" (enrollment rate, consolidation rate and enrollment rate) of students are among the best in similar schools in the county. For more than ten years, there has never been a student casualty accident in this mountainous and dangerous place, and it has become a well-known "model village". The great changes and outstanding achievements of Erping Village Primary School are inseparable from the hard work of Teacher Li Guilin and his wife Lu Jianfen.

When Li Guilin came to Erping Village Primary School, due to the suspension of school in 2111, there was a backlog of school-age children who were about to start school, but no one wanted to teach in this poor mountainous area. Li Guilin and his wife Lu Jianfen took on the education work in Erping Village. Since then, Erping Village has become their home.

It takes a full 11 hours to walk from Miss Li's hometown to school. When school started, he started early in the morning with his backpack on his back and his wife carrying a child over two years old. When he got to school, it was getting dark, and people were exhausted. His wife began to criticize Teacher Li tearfully: "You are possessed to come to this terrible place to suffer ..." At that time, their husband and wife each had only a monthly salary of RMB 111, and their lives were extremely poor.

For more than ten years, Li Guilin and his wife "love life as a child, and love school as home". Because the village is far away from the health center, every year when the school starts, they always pay money to buy many commonly used drugs for standby, and once the students get sick, they will give them free of charge. When students are sick at home, they send medicines to their homes and take them out to make up lessons. When floods break out in summer and ice collapses on rocks in winter, they always receive them early and deliver them late, without interruption. Miss Li often takes time to cut students' hair, level the playground for the school, dig up tiles to mend the wall, and green the campus ... < P > In 1995, Lu Jianfen gave birth to her second child. She went to work with her child on her back just after a full month. Because of long walking, she suffered from gynecological diseases, which have not been cured yet. When there are many students, Mr. Li Guilin will be a compound class for about 51 students in grades five and six.

In p>2111, at the local people's congress, the delegates unanimously recommended Mr. Li Guilin to run for township head. However, the parents of the students disagreed, and the children in Erping Village disagreed. The villagers said, "As soon as you leave, Teacher Lu will leave, and this school is doomed to collapse." For the sake of children and to satisfy the wishes of the people in Erping Village, Miss Li finally gave up the election.

In October p>2113, Mr. Li Guilin's youngest son accidentally fell and hurt his hand. In order not to affect the students' study, Mr. Li stubbornly invited a local doctor for treatment. Later, it was discovered that the child's hand was unfortunately left with sequelae because of the serious injury and the long delay.

since p>18, Mr. and Mrs. Li Guilin have taught seven classes of students, with a total of 189 students. With the growth of children, Erping Village, a former "illiterate village", is now becoming a "cultural village". Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Dajiang, Xinhua News Agency, Chengdu, May 31th

The glorious death of Wu Wenbin

was moved by the award speech awarded to Wu Wenbin by the China Organizing Committee: When the landslide broke out, the green camouflage propped up the hope of life, but he quietly fell down. Under the black background of that disaster, his 26-year-old youth was the brightest light.

moved Yu Dan, a member of China Selection Committee: "Sacrifice" is somewhat strange in today's context, and Wu Wenbin is a real hero in an era when heroism is drifting away.

Ren Weixin: Although he is only a cadet, he has not made meritorious deeds. This land will always cherish his sweat, body temperature and soul.
