Fan Paopao's real name is Fan Meizhong. He was born in a remote mountain village in Neijiang, Sichuan. Both parents are farmers, and he is the youngest in the family. He has four brothers and sisters above, and his family is quite poor. In Fan Meizhong's memory, his childhood was very unhappy. Because his father is a lazy gambler, he usually does nothing at home and gambles when he has some money. Therefore, mother and he always quarrel from time to time. In order to support them, the mother not only works day and night, but also raises two pigs every year to raise tuition for her children.
At the end of the year, my mother will sell the pig, so that she can earn three or four hundred yuan. However, if the money is gambled away by his father, the tuition fees of Fan Meizhong and his brothers and sisters will be gone. The absence of his father made Fan Meizhong realize at an early age that if he wanted to escape from this family, he had to rely on his own efforts. With strong confidence, Fan Meizhong studies very hard, and he has always been regarded by teachers as a good student with both ability and political integrity. 1992, Fan Meizhong stayed in Longchang No.2 Middle School for three years, passed the college entrance examination, and was admitted to the history department of Peking University as he wished, becoming the first person in the village to be admitted to Peking University.
Of course, Fan Meizhong is also very lucky, because he caught the last bus of public education, and the tuition only needs to be paid to 200 yuan every year. As far as his family is concerned, it can barely support the economy. 1997, after graduating from university, Fan Meizhong was rejected because the salary allocated by the school was too low. Then he returned to Sichuan, became a history teacher at Shuguang Middle School in Zigong, and obtained a famous degree.
But in class, Fan Meizhong often talks with students about topics other than books. Because many of his ideas are contrary to the textbook, the headmaster talked to him many times and asked him to attend classes according to the textbook content and not to talk about improper behavior. This undoubtedly poured cold water on the enthusiastic Fan Meizhong, which made him very depressed. At the same time, because he is aloof, despises his colleagues and has a distant relationship with them, he is also depressed at school. Soon, Fan Meizhong left without saying goodbye and went out to explore the world. Fan Meizhong first went to Guangzhou to work hard. He recruited several media jobs there, but he quit after a short time. Later, he recruited a private school as a history teacher.
Later, Fan Meizhong went to Shenzhen and Chongqing for a period of time. Because of his extreme behavior, he can only make a living by writing articles for the media for a long time, and the meager manuscript fee is barely enough for him to cope with the accommodation problem. The obstacles in her career put Fan Meizhong in a difficult position. The prestigious school diploma that once made him very proud seems to have lost its value. Finally, Fan Meizhong decided to return to the education industry to gain the recognition of the students. So Fan Meizhong returned to his hometown again and worked as a teacher in Guangya School. Guangya School is not a public school, but a private school jointly run by several people in the 1990s. Its scope, school buildings and teachers are very ordinary, and it can only be regarded as a third-rate middle school, which does not have much influence in the local area. Naturally, Fan Meizhong, who graduated from Peking University, became a "famous teacher" in the school. President Qing Guangya was very polite to him, so Fan Meizhong finally felt unprecedented respect. It's May 2008 12.
That day, Fan Meizhong was giving a class to the students when suddenly the desk shook a few times. At first he didn't care, but then the whole teaching building began to swing violently and the windows creaked. Fan Meizhong immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He rushed out of the classroom reflexively, rolled and climbed downstairs, and rushed to the playground first. Those students were stunned for a few minutes before they realized the danger, so they hid under the desks until the teaching building shook less violently, and then they withdrew from the classroom to the playground.
When the students arrived at the playground, Fan Meizhong was surprised and asked them, "Why don't you come out?" When a classmate questioned why he didn't bring everyone out, he said calmly, "I have never been a person who dares to sacrifice." I only care about my life. Don't you know? Last time there was a fire in the middle of the night, I also fled quickly. " But then, instead of continuing to escape, Fan Meizhong and other teachers concentrated the students on the playground and began to disperse them to safer centers in an orderly manner.
Originally, this incident didn't have any impact, but on May 22nd, Fan Meizhong published an article in Weibo, "The Moment when the Earth Shakes-5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake Biography", which mainly recorded his experiences during and after the earthquake, including the plot that he left his students and fled to the playground first. Fan Meizhong wrote this article in Weibo because there are always people around him who talk about his self-protection and disregard for students' safety. Although everyone despised his cowardice and fear of death, he stubbornly believed that he was not wrong. He disdained to explain it to everyone, so he wrote an article in Weibo, telling the story and his real thoughts.
Originally, his purpose was naturally to get people's understanding, but he never expected that this article made him a news figure in 2008 and was ridiculed by netizens as "Fan Paopao". Netizens angrily condemned him for not doing his duty as a teacher. If a student is buried in the ruins because of his dereliction of duty, won't his conscience hurt? Not only netizens were outraged, but also some Internet bigwigs criticized Fan Meizhong, pushing him into the whirlpool of speech. Then some media reporters came to interview Fan Meizhong. In the face of reporters' questions, Fan Meizhong insisted that he was subjected to cyber violence and moral kidnapping, and he always insisted that his escape was not wrong.
With the passage of time, the news media first began to think deeply. If we were in other people's shoes, if I had been there, would we have acted like Fan Meizhong? At that time, Phoenix Satellite TV's well-known program "One Tiger, One Talk" also specially made a talk show "Fan Paopaoshi". In the face of the person in charge's query, it is no problem for Fan Meizhong, who has calmed down, to no longer stubbornly insist on his own practice. He even sincerely apologized to the school teachers and students in the program, saying that he was really impatient and didn't think too much. In that program, President Qing Guangya was interviewed. He told the person in charge that Fan Meizhong is a person who loves his work and is devoted to it. He loves education very much, his classes are very distinctive, and the students all recognize him.
When the person in charge asked Qing Guangya, Fan Meizhong has now become a speech figure, will the school expel him for this? Qing Guangya said that he knew Fan Meizhong's behavior very well, and the school would try to help Fan Meizhong tide over the difficulties, instead of thinking about expelling him. Later, the person in charge showed the audience Fan Meizhong's active participation in the frontline rescue work after the Wenchuan earthquake. After the broadcast of the program, the criticism of Fan Meizhong on the Internet decreased. However, although the online crisis has eased, it has not helped his career at all. Only one week after the program was broadcast, Yamei School received a notice from the Municipal Education Bureau to cancel Fan Meizhong's teacher qualification certificate. As a result, Fan Meizhong had to separate schools. Fan Meizhong lost his job, but didn't learn from his mistakes. On the contrary, he wrote articles in Weibo from time to time, attacking China's education department.
At this time, Fan Meizhong's life fell into a trough. He used to find a job for a living, but Fan Paopao was so famous that no company or school wanted to hire him. In desperation, Fan Meizhong happily returned to her family and became a housewife, from which she faded out of public view. It's been 13 years since Fan Paopao, so how did he survive? Today, Fan Meizhong used to be the father of two children, but after all, he is the high flyers of Peking University. He not only opened a novel appreciation class at home, but also won a prize through online teaching. As for children's education, Fan Meizhong stopped educating them instead of "nine-year compulsory education". Fan Meizhong is satisfied with today's life. He said that 2008 should be regarded as a turning point in others' lives. As a freelancer, he can let his family live a high-quality life, and he also has more time to do his own things, such as writing novels and discussing philosophy. If you give him a job within the system, he will never like it.
