Except for going to the city for surgery, he never left his beloved school for a day.

He dragged his disabled legs to carry students across the river more than 10,000 times, helped students carry textbooks from the central school more than ten kilometers away on the mountain road, weighing tens of thousands of kilograms; and helped poor students with tuition fees , he had not received a penny of salary for 5 years; the school building was in danger, so he allowed students to attend classes at his home for 9 months; for the sake of the children in the mountains, he let his daughter who wanted to go to college choose a middle school normal school. In order to support him, his wife helped him teach for free for a year. His elderly parents still worked hard at home without any complaints.

Two Portraits

Peanuts

"We We are poor here and it is difficult for children to study. We can no longer suspend classes for these reasons." On the morning of the 29th, Ran Longpeng was teaching students in the main room of his home in Xiaoli Village, Zhufo Township, Pengshui County.

There were 11 dilapidated desks squeezed into the small room, and a black wooden board was placed on the wall as a blackboard. They are 22 students in the fourth grade.

Teacher Ran is teaching the text "Peanuts". Being thin, his voice is not very loud, but it seems particularly loud in this remote and silent mountain: "This text is actually a metaphor for people, educating us to be useful people like peanuts, obscurity, and selfless dedication. ..."

Zhufo Township is one of the poorest and most remote towns in Pengshui County. It is surrounded by mountains. There is not a single decent house in the entire town. The streets have not been hardened. So far, there are no There are buses and cars, but there is no fiber optic closed circuit, and the mobile phone signal here is intermittent. Xiaoli Village is more than ten kilometers away from Chang Town on a mountain road. Xiaoli Village is located among the towering ancient trees deep in Jianfengling. The beautiful Zhufo River flows near the school and slowly flows into the Wu River.

Since September last year, due to the renovation of small dilapidated houses in Xiaoli Village, more than 50 children in four classes can only choose to go to the central school temporarily. However, the central school is more than ten kilometers away from the village on a mountain road, and there are many places on the mountain at any time. There were wild boars infested, and several parents of the students said they would stop reading. After hearing this, Teacher Ran was very anxious. After thinking about it, he decided to take the students to his home for lessons.

In this way, more than 50 students attend classes at Teacher Ran’s home every day. Teacher Ran uses the main room as a classroom. This time, it's 9 months.

Teacher Ran said: "We are poor here and it is not easy for children to study. We can no longer suspend classes for these reasons."

After school, Teacher Ran excitedly told the children: "June 1 We will move to the new classroom later, so we don’t have to fight with the teacher anymore."

Xiaocao

"It’s hard, but there is joy in the pain! It is the greatest comfort for children to have books to read and become successful. "

This place is too remote and no one is willing to teach. For 18 years, the school has often only had one teacher, Mr. Ran.

But in 2018, Teacher Ran was just a substitute teacher. The initial salary was 35 yuan per month, which increased to 77 yuan after three years.

It was 1988. Teacher Ran was working as a substitute teacher in an adult education school, and the salary was higher than here. However, Teacher Ran’s first-year teacher came to him and said that no one was willing to teach in Xiaoli Village Primary School. If so, the village would It has to be withdrawn at an early age, and it will be a problem for the children to go to school. Out of respect for the enlightenment teacher and yearning for the position of village primary school teacher, Teacher Ran returned to his alma mater, Xiaoli Village Primary School, to take over as a substitute teacher.

Teacher Ran did not expect that one generation here lasts for 18 years.

"Ran Longpeng is so stupid." Some villagers said so, because in the past 18 years, he was offered many jobs, such as answering the phone, guarding the gate, and taking over as a substitute teacher elsewhere, but he refused them all. In the past 18 years, except for going to Chongqing for surgery, he has never left his beloved school for a day. Even though he has been a substitute teacher for more than ten years, is disabled, and takes more than 30 heavy classes every week, and his salary is still 77 yuan per month, he has never thought about leaving, because the leader of the central school said that if the village primary school cannot continue to run, there will be no choice but to Withdraw, no teacher is willing to come, so we have to withdraw. Teacher Ran doesn't want to see this day. It is his greatest wish in this life to let Xiaoli Village Primary School continue to run and let the children in Xiaoli’s mountains have books to read.

"Is it bitter?" the reporter asked.

"It's hard, hard, but there is joy in the pain! Seeing the children have books to read and become successful is the greatest comfort." Recalling the 18 years at Xiaoli Village Primary School, Teacher Ran shed tears .

Cigarettes and singing are Teacher Ran’s biggest hobbies. She often smokes cheap leaf cigarettes, and the song is the familiar song "Little Grass". The children in Xiaoli Village can all sing: "Teacher Ran The teacher said that we should learn from Xiaocao and have tenacious vitality."

A few stories

For students with disabled legs and hands

"I cannot fall. .

”

Teacher Ran’s left leg is disabled. It fell when he was carrying a student across the river in 1989.

At that time, it was just a twist. After that, his left hip always hurt. But he didn't care, and his financial conditions did not allow him to be admitted to the hospital for a careful examination. One day a year later, he suddenly fell to the ground when he crossed the threshold of the classroom and had to go to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed the sprain as "septic sprain caused by untimely treatment." "Hip Arthritis". Since then, he can only walk with a limp, and the injured leg has not healed yet.

In 1994, during a labor, Teacher Ran's right arm artery was cut by glass, and the township health center simply After treatment, it was recommended that he go to the city for further treatment, but at that time he was the only teacher in Xiaoli Village Primary School. Thinking that the children would interrupt their studies because of him, he gave up. A month later, he felt more and more pain in his right forearm. After the central school arranged for a substitute teacher, he came to Pengshui County People’s Hospital

“It’s too late, the leg must be amputated! "The doctor's words were like a death warrant. "How can I teach students if my right limb is amputated? "This was the first thing Mr. Ran said to the doctor. The kind-hearted doctor contacted a professor of Chongqing Medical University for him. Although his hand was saved, he could not use it. He could only write one word on the blackboard with chalk. There will be a pause.

"Can you understand that feeling? I want to teach, but my hands don't obey me. "Teacher Ran said that he will always remember what the professor said to him when he was discharged from the hospital: "Go back and teach the children in the mountains! "This sentence made him feel the burden on his shoulders again: "I can't fall. "

Carrying students across the river in 18 years

"I really want to grow up quickly and not let the teacher work so hard. "

With two disabilities, some people advised Teacher Ran to stop teaching, but he was very stubborn and not only did not give up, he continued to drag the children across the river with his disabled body.

Every semester, Xiaoli Village Primary School has more than 30 students living on the other side of the river. The beautiful Zhufo River is usually very gentle. Children can cross the river by stepping on the rocks above the water, but the weather in the mountains can change. When there is a heavy rain, the river will surge. Without a bridge, it is very dangerous to go to and from school. As long as the water rises, Teacher Ran will stay at the river dam in advance. This is the only place for children to go to school. They were carried across the river one by one, and after school, he sent them back to the other side of the river one by one.

When the reporter asked the children in the village: "Which of you has been carried by Teacher Ran?" river? "More than 30 little hands were raised in unison.

"Once, I was lying on Teacher Ran's back and felt that the teacher's body was very hot. I asked the teacher if he had a cold or fever and reminded him to be careful. He said it was okay and just told me to hurry up. I cried, but I didn't dare to speak out for fear of affecting the teacher. Zheng Dong, who is in grade 4, is very sensible and said that she feels very sorry for Teacher Ran: "The teacher cannot use her right hand and only carries me with her left hand, limping in the water. I really want to grow up quickly and not let the teacher So hard. ”

Zheng Dong also calculated an account for the reporter. Assuming that an average of 30 students need to cross the river to go to school every semester and the water rises 10 times a year, Teacher Ran has carried students across the river once in 18 years. More than 10,000 times.

Carrying textbooks for students every semester

“It doesn’t matter if I am tired, the important thing is not to delay the children’s homework. "

The children did not know that the textbooks and homework books they used were also carried back by Teacher Ran from the Central School.

From the Central School to Xiaoli Village Primary School, there are It takes Teacher Ran four hours to walk on more than ten kilometers of rugged mountain roads with nothing, but every semester, the village primary school teacher has to carry the textbooks by himself.

In the past 18 years, he has never asked any students for help. , he carries all the textbooks back from the central school step by step.

Because of his disability, Teacher Ran can only carry up to 40 kilograms at a time, taking breaks to walk along the way, and can only carry it once a day. The textbooks for all students in a semester weigh at least 250 kilograms, and it takes him at least 6 trips a week to memorize them.

Every time he completes a task, Teacher Ran has to stay in bed for several days before he can walk. . Calculated, over the past 18 years, he has carried tens of thousands of kilograms of textbooks from the central school. Teacher Ran said: "It doesn't matter if I am tired. The important thing is not to delay the children's homework." "

Five years of no work to support poor students

"The villagers are poor, as long as the children study in school, it is better than anything else. "

In 1995, Ran Longbo, a student whose father died young, told Teacher Ran that he would drop out of school if he could not afford the tuition. Teacher Ran became anxious when he heard this, and he resolutely said to Ran Longbo's mother: "As long as you let the baby When you study, you don’t have to worry about money. "In this way, Teacher Ran paid all the tuition and book fees for grades 1 to 5 for this student.

Ran Longbo did not know that the teacher had used this method to support nearly a hundred students who could not afford the money. Some parents of students also questioned where Teacher Ran got so much money, but Teacher Ran never said anything. Principal Yang Guangwu of the Central School revealed: "Teacher Ran did not receive a penny of salary from the school between 1998 and 2002. He said that the salary should be deposited in the school. If any student cannot afford the tuition, it will be deducted from it. ”

In the past 18 years, Teacher Ran has paid tens of thousands of yuan in various fees for his students. Most parents will return the money to him when they are financially better off, but so far there are still thousands of yuan unaccounted for. Teacher Ran Don’t care about this: “The villagers are all poor, as long as the baby is studying in school, it is better than anything else.

"

Sellers make a living by selling flats

"The family often cannot afford a penny. ”

Teacher Ran’s mother Chen Qizhen said that in the past 18 years, her family, including her daughter-in-law, has not bought a single piece of clothing. Everything they wear is given by relatives and friends, because even if it only costs a few dollars, They are reluctant to part with bargains.

Teacher Ran was a little embarrassed: "To tell you the truth, during my two injuries, my family often couldn't afford a penny. For five years, my family's crops were lost. I didn't apply any fertilizer because I didn't have money to buy fertilizer. When I just came back from Chongqing after surgery, I borrowed it from all my relatives and friends, but we still couldn't get rid of the problem, so we sold the stuff. "

The sewing machine was sold, and the wife's dowry bedding was also sold. There was really nothing left to sell. Teacher Ran and his wife lay on the bare bed and looked at the roof in a daze. A thought flashed through them: "Sell. Floor! "The attic is a unique building of the Tujia people. The floor slabs on which the attic was built were to be sold. My wife initially objected firmly, but looking at the empty rice jars and their elderly parents, the two of them immediately jumped up and moved more than 20 floor slabs. They took it apart and sold it for 400 yuan. After the family had a full meal, Teacher Ran also used 3 yuan to buy a pair of Jiefang shoes for a girl in the class who goes to school barefoot every day.

Teacher Ran's two injuries have not healed yet and he is often in pain. The doctor told him to insist on taking medicine, but the cost of medicine costs more than 200 yuan per month. In order to save money, Teacher Ran often goes to the mountains to collect herbs with his legs lame. Parsnip, golden bone grass... these can cure his injuries

The whole family works together to protect the school

My wife takes over the class for free for a year

Teacher Ran. He said that what he felt most sorry for was his family.

“For so many years, as a man, I not only did nothing for this family, but also relied on them to support me. Speaking of this, Teacher Ran shed tears. He said, "It's not just me, our whole family is working hard to protect Xiaoli Village." ".

In 1998, in order to support their children in school, his wife Chen Jian had to work as a painter in a lighting factory in Guangdong. She worked more than ten hours a day and earned more than 700 yuan a month.

In 2000, a young teacher left Xiaoli Village Primary School, and no one else was willing to come. More than 60 students in four classes were suddenly left to Teacher Ran. He was too busy anyway. At this time, Ran The teacher thought of his wife, who had been a substitute teacher. He asked her for help.

After learning about her husband's plight, Chen Jian resolutely quit his job and returned to Xiaoli to teach for free.

< p> Just this year, the house at home became dilapidated. In order to save money, after finishing his classes, Chen Jian carried dirt from a distance alone, dug a cellar to bake bricks, and moved stones to build a new house.

Originally it was a man’s job, but Chen Jianquan did it. She prepared the materials alone for more than a year. “I won’t let him (referring to Teacher Ran) do such heavy work. His job is mine. thing. " Chen Jian said.

In 2003, when her daughter was admitted to Youyang Normal School, the family's financial situation was once again in dire straits. Chen Jian had to go south to work again. She has not dared to come back because she was reluctant to pay the travel expenses.

His daughter is not allowed to enter college

Speaking of his daughter Ran Jiaxin, Teacher Ran felt even more guilty. Three years ago, his daughter who graduated from junior high school wanted to enter high school and go to college, but he did not agree, so he asked her. Choosing a middle school teacher: “I hope she can do something for children in the mountains in the future. ”

My son is now in the first grade of junior high school. Under the influence of his father, he is also preparing to take the normal school entrance exam.

Old parents are still working hard to make money

Teacher Ran feels the most sorry It’s the parents: “My parents only have a son. When they are old, not only do they not enjoy the blessings of their son, but they work hard for me. "Ran's father is 74 years old this year and suffers from severe rheumatism. He still goes to the mountains to herd sheep every day. The old mother raises seven or eight pigs every year, but they have never killed the New Year pigs because the family still depends on them for food.

The son’s salary was low and he had to help the poor students in his class. Regarding this, the old couple only said: “My son’s decision is correct. We also don’t want Xiaoli Village to withdraw. If it does withdraw, what will happen to Tshidouwa’er? ”
