Literacy is the starting line

This is a way out of 1795 kilometers.

Qiu Dachuan, who was in Nanchong, Sichuan, suddenly received a call from Jiashan, Zhejiang. At the end of the phone, he was his 57 -year -old mother.

The mother was not literate, and she couldn't understand the road signs when she went out to buy medicine.

Three thousand miles away, Qiu Dachuan taught her mother to position real -time positioning, and guided her mother to turn left, turn right, and walked straight. She spent the boss, and finally helped her mother find a pharmacy.

And this pharmacy is only 200 meters away from the mother.

Putting down the phone, Qiu Dachuan couldn't get up with God for a while, and imagined that his mother could look helpless in a foreign country, it must be desperate.

The story recorded by the "Five Ring Road" is incredible, but it is extremely real.

Qiu Dachuan's mother is similar to most rural women born in the 1960s. They have only studied primary school for one or two years, and then they have to start their lives for a lifetime.

After the popularity of the Internet, Qiu Dachuan's mother's nerves were more sensitive. When I first started using WeChat, my mother often received text information that others did not intentionally sent. Every time I feel humiliated, "I know I can't understand, I still have to typing me!"

To this day, Qiu Dachuan and his wife still dare not send a text to his mother. It was disrespectful once.

Ding Xiaohua felt the same with this difficult feeling.

She has the highest school education in her college degree, but Ding Xiaohua's parents are not literate, and they are not literate for three generations. She remembered that when she was a child, she went to the hospital with her parents, registered and took medicine, and asked the security guard. The security guard yelled at them. "You have no eyes!" Ding Xiaohua was uncomfortable.

In the past two years, there are smart phones. Parents will only call and accidentally pop up the wrong pop -up window. They will not turn off, and the mobile phone will set up all day, and finally wait for her brother to come back.

Wang Meiyu, who is not literate, stubbornly spent her girly period: I want to buy milk -flavored shower gel, regardless of the shopping guide, open the bottle cover and smell it; only buy transparent bottle with lotion, and will not mix with the lotion; sanitary napkins will not be mixed; sanitary napkins will not be mixed; sanitary napkins will not be mixed; sanitary napkins will If you can't distinguish or use it or night, you always buy it wrong. When others asked, she said it was stocking.

Wang Meiyu Writing

There are 37 million people like Qiu Dachuan's mother, Ding Xiaohua's parents, and Wang Meiyu.

In the past, we particularly understood the inheritance of knowledge. The reason is simple -civilization needs development, and human beings need progress. Therefore, Zhang Zai, a doctor of the Song Dynasty, wrote "to succeed in the past."

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, when the nation was in crisis, in the face of the enemy's artillery, Professor of Southwest United University, Wen Yiduo, shouted, "I hope everyone will bring your own Chinese textbooks. , Talk about Qu Yuan, talk about the brightest chapter in 5,000 years. "

This kind of salary is precious at that time.

With the advancement of technology, the development of disciplines, and the Big Bang of knowledge, we have long been not worried about the inheritance of civilization and knowledge. Through the Internet, we can obtain massive knowledge and enjoy the results of all modern civilization.

But because there are still 37 million people who are not literate, they have almost missed all opportunities since the reform and opening up, and become a group of people with poor luck and is isolated by modern civilization.

37 million blind, this number is close to Canada with a total population of 38 million. There are more than 200 countries around the world, and the Canadian population ranks 37th in the world. And everyone is familiar with Australia, with a population of only 26 million.

In order to reduce the number of illiteracy to 37 million, China has made great efforts.

At the beginning of the founding of New China, 550 million people across the country, with an illiterate rate of 80%. At that time, the rural illiteracy rate was even as high as 95%. In some places, there were no literate people in Shili and Eight Villages.

Since then, China has carried out literacy campaign four times. From 1949 to 1998, China eliminated a total of 203 million illiterates, and the humanistic blindness rate dropped to less than 15%, and the illiteracy of young people fell below 5%.

Entering the 21st century, the blindness was continued. By 2011, China announced to the world to fully realize the historical task of eliminating the illiterate of young people. In 2021, the seventh census data showed that the illiterate rate had dropped to 2.67%.

This is a pretty difficult number, which is comparable to the level of Nordic countries. It is only because China's population base is large, and 1.4 billion 2.67%still has 37 million.

This means that 37 million people lost on the starting line, which is not a small group.

Although nine-year compulsory education has been fully popularized, for some people born in the 1950s and 1970s, they have not been educated for various reasons and become cultural margins.

In the social discourse system of modern people, many people have already regarded "illiterate" as a ridicule and ridicule. So the suffering of illiteracy was difficult to say.

Ding Xiaohua wants to do something, hoping to help people like her parents get rid of the unknown dilemma, so she chose to be an anchor in Douyin. It is not an ordinary anchor, but one of the earliest anchors to teach adult literacy.

Unlike other live broadcast rooms, Ding Xiaohua's live broadcast room does not have a flying gift, and can only prove the existence of the audience through the number that constantly beating in the upper right corner.

Many students do not know very much, so the names are often used as the name of the Douyin account, such as "Flower Flowers and Fortune", "Thoughtful things", or "Grandma XX", "XX Mom", follow the child's name before Or the system is automatically generated, followed by a series of numbers behind the "user", even no avatar.

Students have different identities, but they have rarely played the role of "student" without exception.

Some of these people do not know the decimal point. The payment amount was originally 3.5 yuan, and the result was 35 yuan; others were only more than 100 kilometers away from their mother's house, but they did not dare to return to their mother's house alone because they did n’t know the name of the place. For us, it is difficult for them to check navigation, takeaway, buy tickets, and read notice.

They are like the islands in the sea of ​​modern civilization. They can only watch others' lives like waves, magnificent, magnificent and hustle.

In ancient times, even if the prosperity of Datang and Daqing was born, the literacy rate of Chinese people never exceeded 20%, but it did not hinder Datang and Daqing towards the prosperous world. At the same time, the situation in the West was even worse. In the 14th century, even the aristocratic literacy rate was less than 6%.

During the long agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization period, the literacy or not did not constitute a heavenly. Because at that time, people's production and life, wealth accumulation and other activities were not highly dependent on text.

Even in the contemporary, before the popularity of the Internet, it is not too much problematic for farmers outside Chinese cities.

You may not have thought that the most popular Central Taiwan is the agricultural channel, covering up to 1.294 billion people, and the coverage rate ranks first in all Shangxing TV channels across the country.

On CCTV Agricultural Channel, even if you are not literate, farmers can press the TV switch to follow the experts and agricultural experts on TV to learn advanced agricultural production technology, and then imitate.

In the era of the Internet, it is not so easy to literate.

In the Internet era, literacy is not simply aware of 3,000 symbols, and it corresponds to a set of lifestyle behind it. Ordering, medicine, withdrawal, signing, etc., a series of daily life, etc., are based on literacy. Bare, can only be isolated from these things.

The building materials store opened by Qiu Dachuan in the town often has unsightly rural elderly people who come in and ask the way. They use Sichuan dialects to find water and electricity toll stations. In fact, even walking is not stable enough.

In fact, it is not difficult to find toll stations, but in the past, each village had a full -time personnel. Every month, it took the house to collect water and electricity fees from households every month. Young people are now accustomed to paying online, and the existence value of on -site toll staff has been weakened. The seemingly simple problem of water and electricity costs the trembling elderly can only go out to ask.

When people think that the Internet will amplify the civilized gap caused by the ignorance, it has pulled back to those who almost dumped the era trains in the seemingly incredible way.

There was a dead proposition before. Since illiterate is illiterate, this problem cannot be resolved by text. To put it more straightforward, for illiteracy, the text is not helpful, the voice is a little helpful, but not much. The most useful is the video.

If you think about it, you can't write an article to help everyone recognize the words? You can't say that you listen to me to say a voice back and try to order with your mobile phone after going back?

It can only be a video. In the most intuitive and most vivid way, it is written to people to see one by one. One interface and one button is displayed to people. This is an effective learning method.

Now on Douyin, the screen of the slap can also become a blackboard.

Li Hong, 52, has a 11 -hour wall and hundreds of bricks every day. Her son's college loan and dowry for daughter. But the moment she was most looking forward to is the live broadcast of opening the vibrato adult literacy. She can become a student who focuses on recognizing words.

There are 45 -year -old Wang Huiqin similar to the situation. At 7:30 every night, Wang Huiqin will open Douyin and follow the anchor to learn Chinese characters Pinyin. It ’s time to work during the day, and there is only time to learn at night. The 18 -storey construction site building is instantly become her classroom, where you can look at the sea.

Wang Huiqin is from rural Anhui and works with her husband in a coastal city in Shandong. Due to the inferiority, her account name is a string of numbers- "2115868912".

Each time the live broadcast is over, some teachers will send classroom notes to the group to make it easier for students to save. At the same time, a series of short videos will be recorded for everyone to review. The teaching content includes a lot of life scenarios, such as going to the bank to access funds and seeing a doctor at the hospital.

Obviously, short videos and live broadcasts are more intuitive and easy to understand than traditional methods.

In the live broadcast room, the teacher encouraged the students: "Who said we can't do it, everyone is the pearl buried in the soil!"

The live broadcast room also shows a distinctive time. Summer people are the least, and the number of people in winter will double-

The busyness of farmers made the "students" in the live broadcast room unable to get rid of themselves, and some people had to work overtime during the peak production season of the factory. Children have a summer vacation, they have to bring their children at home. In winter, people who worked began to return to their hometown, and there was no work in the ground. Students come and go like migratory birds. After 10 o'clock every night, the live room will be lively.

Before becoming an anchor, Cheng Jie was a teacher in a primary school in Haidian, Beijing for 8 years. At that time, she was enthusiastic. From the first grade to the third grade, she taught other disciplines except English, music, and sports.

In 2020, Cheng Jie decided to resign and accompany because his son was going back to the Emperor Texas in Shandong. During her rest at home, she tried to teach young children to learn pinyin and literacy on Douyin. This was her strength.

But then Cheng Jie discovered that her students not only had children, but also many adults.

Later, Cheng Jie gradually adjusted his live broadcast lessons to teach adult literacy. The trainees came from all over the world and changed from 7 o'clock every night to 8 o'clock because she wanted to take care of the students in Xinjiang and Qinghai.

Sometimes even across the screen, you can still feel the helplessness of students. Some students will leave a message: "The teacher brushed you today. Where can I find you tomorrow?" Li Xiuli was the first student to sign up. She spoke a little shy, but when she mentioned the knowledge of the literacy, Li Xiuli laughed and laughed. The most used words were "happy" and "happy", which was what she had never experienced in the past.

Li Xiuli was born in rural Henan. There are three sisters in the family. She is an eldest daughter. She has been instilled from a young age to bear more family responsibilities. Parents left the only opportunity to go to school to the smallest sister.

Li Xiuli, who missed the opportunity to go to school, grew up and went out to work. Once I took a car to find my sister, because I couldn't understand the name of the station, I had to go to Dongguan. As a result, I sat all the way to Hong Mei. Finally, my sister drove to pick her up. "At that moment, I felt like I didn't use it."

Li Xiuli learn to write

Many people have such a similar situation, but not all students can be supported by their families.

When Lian Mai was studying in the live broadcast room, the teacher sometimes heard that the children and spouses came from the phone.

A student wanted to refund the money because her husband opposed her learning, smashed her mobile phone, and teared her book.

There is a noteworthy detail here, and many courses are charges. There are 3688 adult literacy classrooms of 99 yuan in this period. There are many similar classes, and more people are willing to spend money.

What does this mean? Please think about it, how many white -collar gold collar we have around us, and high salary, and we hesitate to pay 9.9 yuan online. But many middle -aged and elderly people who want to learn words are willing to spend 99 yuan.

This shows that they are not necessarily poor in the economic sense, but they are trapped in cultural poor identity. And they are willing to change.

Maybe it is not necessarily reversing life, but as long as it can become better, life is a little hope, enough.

After taking these literacy classes, some students wrote their own names for the first time in my life;

Some students used the small animals that encountered in the construction sites and wild flowers that they grew alone in the construction site, and they learned to give these videos a title;

There are students who share their favorite lyrics, "Looking at the years, pulling me away,"

Wang Huiqin, who once overlooking the sea on the construction site, finally changed the name of the Douyin account from the number of numbers to "a woman with a gesture" and replaced her avatar into her own photos.

The scenes they are seeking to know, like not like our childhood scene?

When we were writing homework at night when we were young, our mother always brighted the lights so that the words on the book could be clearly seen. Why don't these adult literacy classes leave a lamp for those who are not literate but thirsty?

However, with the development of the times, the blindness itself has also been given new connotation and historical mission.

Traditional blind anti -scanning pays more attention to individual reading, writing, and calculation ability, but in the redefinity standards of UNESCO, whether it can identify modern social symbols, and whether computers can use computers for learning, communication, and management have been included in it.

In a word, the blindness of blindness is not an illiterate itself. "Internet blindness" and "digital blindness" have become new era requirements.

Cheng Jie noticed the new needs of some students. In addition to setting up literacy lessons, she also started a mobile phone typing lesson. Seeing that many people do not use their mobile phones to scan the code, and they do n’t understand the epidemic prevention and control notification and nucleic acid testing steps, she deliberately records a series of short videos to help people who have difficulties in this area.

Therefore, in the process of teaching, they also taught these people how to use smartphones, how to use the various functions of communication tools, and how to use e -commerce platform online shopping products to consult customer service to track orders.

Ancient literacy depends on private schools, which is almost the patent of nobles. Modern literacy depends on public school. Due to various reasons, some people in China have lost their chances of literacy and are forced to become illiterate.

Fortunately, the emergence of short videos allows ordinary people as much as possible to enter the Internet with a very low threshold, obtain equal educational resources, obtain opportunities to see and express, open up unlimited vision, and enjoy equal rights and inclusiveness.

From Tsinghua University of Peking University to ask the master to give a public class, let Douyin a "first -class university". Such a "adult literacy class" is like a "first -class elementary school" and "first -class middle school", which makes those who have not been educated well educated, which is even more moving.

Because of Douyin, learning breaks the barriers of time and space, region, and class. They can be on the construction site and the field roads, the gap between the labor, the moment when the child falls asleep, and the light on the screen of the screen, make up for the elementary school, middle school, and even university. Class ———————

To benefit people with more and more help in this society, this is the real Internet equity.

After the World War I, Facing France wrote the famous "The Last Lesson" in the face of France's compensation against Germany; during World War II, Wen Yiduo encouraged the students: "China is not France, and there is never the last lesson."

Now on Douyin, countless people who do not literate have started the first lesson of their lives. After this class, everything is different. It becomes more fair and full of infinite possibilities.

Looking back today, this photo is inevitable.

In 1952, at the National Games of the 25th anniversary of the founding of the army, the athletes on the starting line did not run, and they squatted on the cardboard to write.At that time, there was no need to send a order gun at that time. Whoever wrote a few words first could start.At that time, many athletes were illiterate and let them literacy in this way.This is a deep metaphor, and literacy is the starting line.

Today, 1.4 billion on the starting line of this modern civilization, no one can be missing.

The fence of civilization was broken, and the gap between numbers was gradually smoothed.The life they had stolen because they were not literate, and they were finally chased back.
