Ye Cuiwei’s character story

Ye Cuiwei, the principal of Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School in Zhejiang Province, was born in a family of teachers and has a natural attachment to education; "Walkers have no boundaries" has always been his creed. For more than 20 years, he has traveled to Hubei and Shanghai Guangxi and Zhejiang have never stopped moving forward.

In 2000, the Hangzhou Municipal Education Commission openly recruited principals of key middle schools across the country. He passed all the tests and became the principal of Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School in Zhejiang Province, a "century-old school". During this time, he obtained a Master's degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Canberra, Australia. In 2006, he was named one of the “Top Ten Popular Principals in the Country” by China Education News. Ye Cuiwei advocates "humanity education", the first essence of which is respecting students' nature. For this reason, he gave students in Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School full freedom to write poems and sing songs...

Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School has an architectural commanding height, which is the "Top of No. 2 Middle School". The view there is wide and you can see far into the distance. Many students often come here to enjoy themselves. Some students were writing and drawing on "Peak". At that time, considering the safety of students, school leaders and teachers suggested closing the "Top of No. 2 Middle School". Open or closed? Ye Cuiwei made a decision: to open the "Top of No. 2 Middle School" to allow students to enter and exit freely, draw freely, and manage independently. Over the past few years, the "Top of No. 2 Middle School" has become a place that students yearn for.

Ye Cuiwei said that the second important point of "humanity education" is to let students be human beings. It is necessary to create a rich and vivid "learning field" for students, and to inject rich sports elements, music elements, and information elements into the campus. In 2007, at the Hangzhou Campus Culture Festival, the rock band from Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School caused a commotion among the audience. Among the 12 teams that advanced to the finals, they were the only band to perform live and the only representative team to sing original songs. Ye Cuiwei held a special symposium in the VIP room to congratulate the band on their successful performance.

The third essential point of "humanity education" is to make students adults. What he strives to cultivate is the independent spirit, innovative consciousness and outstanding potential of all students in the school.

One evening, Zhang Feiran, a sophomore in high school, sat in the biology laboratory distressed. Since he won two first prizes in the National Chemistry and Biology Olympiads and was selected for the national training team, Tsinghua University and Peking University have extended invitations to him in advance. However, an early walk-off prevented him from representing Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School in international competitions. Ye Cuiwei also fell into deep thought, how important it is for No. 2 Middle School to win medals in international competitions! However, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

After thinking deeply, he went to Zhang Feiran and said: "I agree to escort you to Tsinghua University in advance." In 2000, Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School moved from the old city to the suburbs. Due to the long distance, many students The time teachers spend traveling to work has increased by nearly two hours. Someone suggested to the principal: buy a time card machine and place it at the school gate to sign in and out. Ye Cuiwei rejected this suggestion on the spot. He said: "When a teacher walks into the classroom with nervousness, can he still have joyful and peaceful emotions?" In his opinion, a school teacher is managed with trepidation. If your life is not elegant and calm enough, this school will not have enough charm.

Ye Cuiwei likes to listen to lectures. However, teachers all know that the principal will not care if a small mistake is made in class. The only thing he cares about is whether teachers can effectively mobilize students' thinking and make real changes in students' cognitive and mental states.

"I will always only look at the mainstream." Ye Cuiwei said. The principal's generosity and atmosphere make teachers feel the joy of freedom. In class, they are confident, calm and in high spirits. Teacher Wang Yunfan, who returned from studying in Germany, said: "The reason why I feel relaxed is that the classroom situation is completely up to me. How to speak and what content to quote are all based on my wishes." With his in-depth understanding of European history and cultural background , she adopted a teaching method that was very different from the traditional method and received full support from Ye Cuiwei. Many people who visit and study at Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School can’t help but sigh: It’s a miracle that each class lasts only 40 minutes to produce such excellent students. The school should have a spirit: democracy, humanity, and creativity; it should have a culture: scientific rationality and beautiful feelings as its values; it should have a style: noble, elegant, and majestic. Ye Cuiwei thinks so. Therefore, he put forward the pursuit of "liberating the mind and standardizing behavior" in running a school, emphasizing looseness, tolerance, and generosity, enlightenment, openness, and enlightenment, as well as humanity, rationality, and spirituality, and used this to promote the modern transformation of the school.

As a result, Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School has won many national honors such as the National Advanced Unit for Spiritual Civilization Construction and the National Advanced Collective in Education System, and enjoys a high reputation in Zhejiang Province.

Ye Cuiwei said: "We must build a 'real school' that allows teachers and students to return to health and happiness, rather than a 'utilitarian school' that is proud of students' test scores." For this reason, he gave himself He has formulated the policy of "two no and one less": "no fighting for fame". Every time the school evaluates excellence, he is always the first to give up; "no distraction", always abides by conscience and spirit; , To be an excellent educator in an impetuous society requires a pure and quiet state of mind, which is a way to grow as leisurely as a feather.

No matter in the past, present or future, Ye Cuiwei and the teachers have always adhered to the conscience of an educator and a calm demeanor. As the saying goes, only those who are generous can achieve great things.
