Foshan Organ Kindergarten: Recalling history, renewing glory

The Foshan City Organ Kindergarten, located at No. 12 Lingnan Avenue, Chancheng District, Foshan City, has a group of educators who have always maintained the dedication of the original dedication. I have gone through the time of nearly seventy years. Today, we review the development of children in Foshan City.

The pioneer of love

The sound of a few roar sounded, and several bunkers left in the war era turned into gravel in smoke. Commissioner Zheng Shaokang brought two engineers and Comrade Zeng Ying as the representative of the Women's Federation. Teacher Zhou Shaoyu, as a kindergarten representative, formed a five -person preparatory group. The lush wild banana forest around the bunker gradually was reclaimed and filled in a pair of diligent hands. Soon after, three rows of bungalows were built on the open space. In 1954, with the Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Guangdong Central Bank of China from Jiangmen City, it was relocated to No. 10 Dafu Road, Foshan City. The banana forest land next to the office won a new historical mission -the Kindergarten of the Guangdong Central District Office was opened to solve the problem of childcare in children at the time. This is the predecessor of the kindergarten of Foshan City.

In that special period, the cadres of the organs must be decentralized to the "May 7th" school and participated in the "going up the mountains and the countryside". In this context, their young children started the childhood life in kindergarten.

Primitive sediment

At that time, the door of the kindergarten opened to the east. The three rows of bungalows form a surround shape on both sides of the gate. On one side of the bungalows on both sides, there is a full -scale class, on the other side, the Japanese -care class, and the front bungalow is a living room. There is a open space before and after the living room, which is the main space for children. There is a small round swimming pool on the open space in front. The young children play water here in summer. There is also a rectangular pool on the open space. The larger children can swim inside. There is also the only one that is also the favorite amusement facilities for children -a large turntable. More than a dozen children stood together, holding the iron railings with both hands, waiting for the turntable to slowly rotate under the promotion of manpower. Whenever the turntable starts, they are so happy.

Parents are going to the countryside, and the heavy responsibility of taking care of their children falls on the kindergarten teacher. In order to facilitate the hairdressee in the kindergarten, Teacher Zheng Miaoling and Zhu Yufang two teachers went to the barber shop to find a master for a while. At that time, a professional barber box bought at the time, Teacher Zheng has preserved it to this day, and now it has become a "antique" with a very valuable value. "The children in the whole class, hairdressing once a month, are the two teachers' work"! "Teacher Zheng recalled, showing a proud smile on his face.

Some children are unattended on weekends and can only take care of the aunt on duty in the kindergarten. There are two such children brought by Teacher Zheng. Because she couldn't bear to let the child spend the weekend in the kindergarten alone. Every Sunday, she brought these two children home and played with her three children. The neighbors often laughed and said, "Teacher Zheng's family is also a child on the weekend!" The children lived with the teacher around the clock, and had the trust and dependence of the teacher like parents. They felt the warmth of the family in the teacher's house.

Children's learning activities (photographed in the 1970s)

The educators of the first generation of Foshan Organ Kindergarten developed a child's paradise in the wasteland with both hands, and also used love to support a bright blue sky in the child's lonely heart.

"Three baths" exercise, common memory

Because of his age and living a collective life, children's health has become the most concerned about teachers. If there is a child's illness, the teachers will contact the outpatient clinic of the organs and arrange doctors to come to the sick child for diagnosis and treatment. However, the child's conservation and health care work is not only the disease and cure, but also to try to enhance their physique and resistance. To this end, the kindergarten sent several young teachers to the Guangzhou Shipai Central South Military Region Kindergarten for a week. The members included Teacher Zhou Shaoyu and Teacher Zheng Miaoling. The experience of this trainee made them most profoundly the method of learning from the Soviet Union's reference from the Soviet Union. They used the original resources that almost did not spend a penny -sunlight, water, and air. Essence

In the case of very limited facilities and venues, this method will be opened in the Kindergarten of the Guangdong Central Committee. At about 9 o'clock in the morning in the sunny weather, the kindergarten will be neatly covered with a few rows of mats on the open space of the kindergarten. The children are bare -up, wearing sunglasses, and lying on the mat leisurely, enjoying the "sunbathing" comfortably. Teacher Zheng recalled that because the children were afraid of sunburning their eyes, they tried to ask for inquiries, and specifically looking for manufacturers to customize dozens of children's sunglasses, which was considered a "fashionable" supplies at the time. The large seats on the ground are also particularly particularly woven, and the woven is too sparse. The sediment on the ground is easy to seep, the weaving is too thin, the mat is hot, and the child will be uncomfortable. The cashiers and teachers ran for several selection. At the beginning of the sunbathing, the children were lying on the large mat. In order to prevent sunburn, they changed their postures every ten minutes. At this time, the teacher will shoot the bell drum as the "signal", the "signal" sounds, and everyone turns over together. The scene is not interesting. Tug of War

In the 1960s, played a doctor role game

One day after playing happily, the children's clothes were covered with sand mud. They would run to the faucet to lift up together in the whole class. Three or five children took off their clothes and began to wash their bodies together. The moment the cold water opened, it was always accompanied by a few screams, a few laughter, and when the body adapted to the temperature of the cold water, the cool feeling spread, making people refreshing. Such a cold water bath all year round and persist every day. Teacher Zheng said mysteriously that the "cold water" is actually settled at the set temperature. There is a doctor who is responsible for regular monitoring of water temperature to ensure that it is 28 ° C, so that the child will not get cold and will not be cold.

Child labor

Wearing sunglasses to dry the sun, insist on cold water to take a bath, and grieve it on the kindergarten sediment, outdoor activities ... The simple life of a simple life is a deep collective memory of a generation of alumni. These bold and innovative practices at the time became the prototype of the "three bath" exercise in kindergarten. Nearly 70 years later, in the kindergarten of Foshan City Organs today, every summer, the children still bare up their upper body, while taking the sun, while participating in physical exercise, exposing the skin healthy and dark, laying a solid foundation for a strong physique.

Little Fortune in the bitter tiredness

Teacher Zhou and Mr. Zheng have been over nine years old this year. They invariably associate their longevity mystery with the "three baths" exercise with their children in their early years: "The foundation for at that time should have a little relationship."

Recalling the days when working in kindergarten, Teacher Zheng always said, "It was really hard that year. After a day, we were all sunburned." Let her recall specific people and things, and she always smiled at her Starting from the ground.

Every weekend, the children go home on vacation, and there is a lively scene in the kindergarten. More than a dozen teachers and aunts (nurses) cooperated to disinfect the children's bedding and bedding. Several people are responsible for taking turns from the well: tie a rope on the bucket, put the bucket into the well, shake the rope a few times to adjust the bucket, judge the amount of water in the water according to the sound of water flow, then quickly lift the bucket, turn around and pour into the big big. In the pot, the whole process is done in one go. The water rolls in the bubbles of white flowers, and about four barrels of water can be filled with a pot of water. The sheets, mosquito nets, and quilt were removed from several other teachers. They put everything in a large basin filled with water, took off their shoes, raised their pants and stepped into the pot and stepped on it. There are also a few teachers observing the places where the sun is shining, using bamboo and chairs as various shelves, putting the pillow into the core, and using sunlight for disinfection. It is "standard operation" every week, and it is necessary to say hard work and exhaustion. But from those precious old photos, you will only see the smiles that are simple and happy in it.

In the age of supplies, teachers used the wasteland behind the kindergarten to plant crops such as sweet potatoes, peanuts, etc., and each time they were harvested. Everyone shared it together, which is the "small luck" in their memory. Once because of the performance of the show of Children's Day, several teachers worked overtime until late at night. At that time, the director (equivalent to the principal) saw everyone busy, and asked everyone to eat supper. She makes people buy some mature green bananas. The teachers feel strange -Isn't the green banana ca n’t eat? Who knows that the director used a green banana, taro and a little sugar to cook a pot of fragrant sugar water. That special taste has made Teacher Zheng still remember it so far, just like those past suffering and tiredness, after slowly filtering through long time, leaving sweetness in memory.

Initially, the bungalow in the whole row was the position of Building 1 today. In the 1980s, the bungalow was demolished and built the first four -story teaching building of the kindergarten. In July 2022, Building No. 1, which has a history of many years, has been caring by the municipal government, and the allocation of funds has been promoted to the overall environment.

The decoration, spacious and bright classrooms and bedrooms in the style of Lingnan are no longer simple and rigid more than sixty years ago.What is constant is the white orchid tree in front of them, and the buildings next to the building have experienced construction and reconstruction many times, and they are well preserved.Teacher Zheng pointed at the most side by side and said, "When it was planted by himself, it was as tall as the children in the big class, as thick as the children's arm." Today, its branches have been stout.Hold around.Of course, there is an old camphor tree in the kindergarten that no one says of the year. It has taken root in this land earlier than anyone else, witnessing the development and changes of the kindergarten of the Foshan Organs for more than 60 years.Bailan tree planted by Teacher Zheng that year
