After listening to "Life Ferryman"

"Life Ferryman" is a new book I listened to from Teacher Fan Deng. It tells the touching story of Wuhan courier Wang Yong who single-handedly built a logistical support line for medical staff during the epidemic. Wang Yong was therefore called the "Life Ferryman" by the People's Daily.

From courier to anti-epidemic hero, from ordinary to great, Wang Yong’s experience moved me and made me think: How should ordinary people like you and me view themselves and others? relationship? How should personal survival value be reflected?

(1)? What can I do?

"What can I do? What else can I do?" This is the question Wang Yong asked himself most during the epidemic. Faced with the message of help from Jinyintan medical staff, Wang Yong did not wait for others, but immediately thought: These medical staff are working hard for us, what can I do for them?

The average person cannot see the relationship between themselves and others. When faced with unfamiliar people or uncertain events, they often adopt an indifferent attitude that does not concern them. Or it is a wait-and-see mentality. If someone does it, I will follow suit, because the herd mentality will give people a sense of security. Even if bad things happen, there is still a sense of luck that the law does not punish the public. This public mentality often leads to a social atmosphere in which evil does not suppress good: no one takes the lead in doing good things, but everyone is emboldened to do bad things together. The phenomenon of "Chinese-style crossing the road" has been repeatedly banned. Doesn't this fully illustrate this point?

Lu Xun once said: "Countless distant places and countless people in distant places are all related to me." Only when we realize our connection with society and others in the same boat and economy can we give full play to our potential. Take the initiative to fulfill your responsibilities and do what you should do.

Gao Zhendong, the principal of Taiwan Zhongxin Senior Business School, came to the mainland to give a speech. He said: The old saying goes, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." Today, I want to change it to "The rise and fall of the world, my responsibility." Principal Gao's campus actually implements the concept of "my responsibility". The children in this school are all 15 to 18 years old, and there are more than 3,000 students every year. But the school has no workers or security guards. All work is done by the students themselves. The school implements a senior system, with third-year students leading first-year students. When the floor is dirty, the students who see it see it as "my responsibility" and take the initiative to clean it; when the window glass is broken, the students see it as "my responsibility" and take the initiative to replace it with a new one. Everyone does not push away the responsibility, but takes it over. Everyone is the master of the school, and everyone regards the school's affairs as their own business. Students' strong sense of responsibility and ownership are favored by major companies. In recruitment advertisements in major newspapers in Taiwan, the words "Only recruiting loyal graduates" often appear.

As an ordinary Chinese teacher, I also have to ask myself, what can I do, what else can I do? What can I teach students in my classroom? I think it is not only about learning Chinese knowledge so that children can cope with exams, but also about allowing children to see and understand themselves from other people’s words, feel the mysterious power of words to heal spiritual wounds, learn to grow, and let Every child has a rich and bright spiritual home. (2) What do they need? Fan Deng asked Wang Yong: "Have you ever done management work? You have gone from recruiting volunteers to solving the travel and meal problems of medical staff, and even delivering books to medical staff. , take care of the spiritual needs of medical staff. How can you be meticulous and orderly while being busy?" Wang Yong said with a smile: "During the whole process, I was just thinking: What else do they need? ? ”

I think that in addition to Wang Yong’s clear thinking and methodical approach, what is more important is that he always puts the needs of others as the first criterion for solving problems.

This kind of altruistic thinking guided him to solve one problem after another, completely based on actual needs. There were no rules, no exciting slogans, and no falsehoods to deceive others.

Think about what others think and worry about what others worry about. Starting from reality, doing things according to the rules, and going in the right direction, no matter how difficult the problem is, there will naturally be a solution. In this way, Wang Yong communicated with each department and solved each problem one by one. In the end, we accomplished something that no one else could even imagine.

I remember an educator once said that when you find it difficult to educate your children, there must be something wrong with the method.

Nowadays, students are very tired of studying. As educators, as parents, and as a society, have we seriously thought about: What do our children really need? Why are more and more children experiencing learning difficulties? What should we do for our children?

Suhomlinsky said in the book "Suggestions for Teachers": "Excessive learning burden and lack of time for free activities are important reasons why students are tired of studying."

He also emphasized: "Reading is an important means of intellectual education for "difficult" students. Reading can help students get rid of poor performance. The more a student reads, the clearer his thoughts will be and the better his intelligence will be. Positive. ”

Seeing the actual problems faced in education will help us find the focus of our work.

Yes, children may not need such brand-new tables and chairs, but they need an ordinary reading room where they can read books; children may not need a beautiful plastic playground, but they need a free place. Activity venues; children may not need society to build high-rise buildings for them, but they need a nearby library with a limited collection of books; children may not need teachers to be knowledgeable, but they need teachers to guide wisely when they are confused and troubled .

Following the laws of children's physical and mental development and satisfying their inner desires is based on the reality of education. Only when children grow up and become happy can parents and teachers be truly happy.

(3) ? I have been shaking all day

? "I have been shaking all day." This is Wang Yong's true feeling on the first day of picking up medical staff. An instinctive fear.

During the tense period of the epidemic, I was trapped in a small room. If you occasionally go downstairs to relax, you must wear a mask. When meeting colleagues in the hospital, even if they chat for a short time, everyone unconsciously keeps a distance. If someone coughs inadvertently, they will turn their face away. Because everyone is full of fear about the invisible, intangible, and even unknown coronavirus.

? Every time I go upstairs and return to the house, I must wash my hands with soap. Those days, my soap loses weight quickly as soon as I take it out. Closed doors, empty streets, and a society that has pressed the pause button make me feel as if only the virus is running rampant in the air.

? We at home are still so scared in our hearts, but Wang Yong is in direct contact with medical staff who are wielding swords against the virus. A hero is not without fear, but goes against the wind in fear! It’s not that Wang Yong has never cried. When he encounters difficulties, he tells himself that crying can’t solve the problem! In this way, our courier boy climbed mountains and ridges in fear and overcame obstacles in difficulties. Along the way, he waved the banner of battle, achieved himself through dedication, and realized the value of his life.

Kissinger once said in his book "On China": "China's luck is that there are always heroes to protect it in the face of disasters.

During the SARS epidemic in 2003, When a CCTV reporter interviewed Zhong Nanshan, he asked: "Do you care about politics? Zhong Nanshan replied calmly and firmly: "A person's greatest political achievement is to do his job well in his own position."

”

? Today, I want to say that everyone who performs their duties in their own position and is the best version of themselves is the greatest patriot and the most proud hero!

May each of us ordinary people be our own heroes!
