The 101 -year -old father encouraged the 66 -year -old professor's son to support his son. Professor Wuhan's husband and wife taught one year later for another three years

On September 8th, Professor Liu Wei, 66, went to Dali, Yunnan again to start a support life in the new semester. Before retiring, Liu Wei was a professor at the School of Economics and Management of Wuhan University. His lover Zhou Yuemei was a professor at the School of Statistics and Mathematics of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law. In March 2020, the two professors made a decision to go to Yunnan to support them together. In March 2021, after the expiration of the teaching period of the year, the husband and wife of the silver -year -old professor renewed the three -year agreement. Today, they have been teaching at the University of Yunnan University of Applied Technology for more than two years.

"Go, teach go"

The upcoming Teacher's Day on September 10th is the 38th Teacher's Day spent by Liu Wei and his wife. After being a teacher for a lifetime, Liu Wei and Zhou Yuemei always have a teaching complex.

His wife Zhou Yuemei responded in the 1970s and taught in a rural middle school in Zhongxiang, Hubei. Later, after graduating from the Department of Mathematics of Wuhan University, she has been teaching at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law. "For so many years, I have been thinking about rural students." This is the original intention of Zhou Yuemei.

After retirement, they had inquired about the appropriate support points. They also thought that it was also good to go to the countryside to be a primary school teaching teacher.

At the beginning of 2020, the Ministry of Education issued the "Implementation Plan for the Support of the Western Plan for the Western Silver Teachers of Universities", and selected outstanding retired teachers in colleges and universities to support and support the western universities to accelerate the shortcomings of higher education in the western region.

After seeing the news, the couple who were accompanying their parents to spend the Spring Festival in Chongqing were very excited. "Finally waited for a chance." But considering the epidemic, they also hesitated "Do you want to go?"

Liu Wei's father is a cadre of the south, and he has always taught him that "a person's life is to contribute to the country." Liu Wei's father encouraged them: "Go, why not go? Hurry up to register." The mother also encouraged the two, "Continue to go to the west to achieve your value."

During the interview, Liu Wei lamented to reporters: "My father is 101 years old this year, and his mother is 95 years old. They are still encouraging us. What else do we have?"

"Go, then go to the western Yunnan to teach!" With the encouragement of his parents, Liu Wei and Zhou Yuemei returned to Wuhan to apply for the application procedures.

Returning to the classroom at the age of retirement, for the couple, this is a dream journey.

In May 2020, they flew from Wuhan to Dali to teach at the University of Yunnan University of Applied Technology. The University of Yunnan University of Applied Technology is a new school. In May 2017, it was formally established by the Ministry of Education.

The University of Yunnan University of Applied Technology is an applied undergraduate university that was born of poverty alleviation and moved by the industry. At present, a total of 35 colleges and universities have cumulatively assisted 123 silver -aged teachers to support the University of Yunnan University of Applied Technology. There are 62 silver -age teachers who work in the school this semester.

After arriving at Yunnan, the first Land Rover in front of them was the plateau reaction. Dali is about 2000 meters above sea level, and the climate is dry. Zhou Yuemei recalled that when she had just arrived in Dali, her blood pressure rose to more than 140, and she couldn't sleep all night. Liu Wei often feels short and dizzy.

In addition to overcoming the environmental discomfort, teaching is not as easy as they thought. After more than 30 years of operation, statistics, and game theory, the lesson plans had long been familiar, but when they came to Yunnan, they found that the original lesson plan could not be fully applied.

There are many poor students and ethnic minorities at the students of Western Yunnan University of Applied Technology, which are taught by Liu Wei and their wives, and the foundation of students is uneven. This requires him to redesign the teaching solution according to the learning status of different students, and also use additional tutoring for children.

Professor Liu Wei admitted to reporters that the work intensity of teaching support was sometimes greater than before he retired.

Liu Wei was not exaggerated. Student Zhang Baoling remembers that the first lesson of school, Liu Wei told the students in his office, welcome students to ask the question with confidence. Near the end of the exam, students spontaneously organized late self -study, and Liu Wei and Zhou Yuemei became frequent visits in the self -study room. At nine or ten in the evening, they were surrounded by a group of students. In the classroom, Liu Wei glanced at the students, so he could understand whether everyone understands it. If he didn't understand it once, he said a few more times. He said: "Maybe it's older, and occasionally he will not be able to keep up with the heart. But looking at the eyes that students look forward to, I have the endless energy."

Love to write poems and love to read poems

Liu Wei loves to write poems and loves to read poems. After each class, he took a few minutes to recite poetry for the students to encourage the students and let the students relax from the tension atmosphere of a lesson.

Zhang Baoling's notebook copied a poem "Learning and Life" written by Liu Wei: When you are studying, it is the hardest time you, and you are the most precious time. Maybe you are not the smartest person, but you It is the person who knows the most. This poem has always encouraged Zhang Baoling.

In 2019, Sun Heqin became a professional teacher at the School of Management of Western Yunnan University of Applied Technology. She told reporters that in the past two years when Professor Liu and Professor Zhou, the professional knowledge, theoretical knowledge, and work and life attitude of the two professors deeply affected her.

In the spare time, the couple often participated in extracurricular activities organized by students from the University of Yunnan University of Applied Technology. Reporter Shi Wei

"After working for a day, we young people can't help but lie flat. Professor Liu and Professor Zhou are still very full of spirit. They call us to play table tennis, take a walk, and exercise." The professors are more energetic than young people.

The school of West Yunnan University of Applied Technology has a short time, and the teaching power of many courses is relatively weak. It is better to give people fish than to give people fishing. In addition to teaching students, Liu Wei and Zhou Yuemei will also guide and train young teachers, and participate in the course construction and training plan of the department.

"Every semester, we have to listen to many young teachers' lessons, write listening reports, and communicate face to face." It didn't take long to come to the University of Yunnan University of Applied Technology, Liu Wei held a number of lectures for young teachers to help young teachers systematically as soon as possible Familiar with professional systems, master research methods, improve research capabilities, and actively organize and support young teachers to apply for scientific research topics.

On different occasions, he heard some silver -aged professor sighed: "We are here to use the residual heat." Liu Wei added: "We come here, not only do you use the remaining heat, come to work, but also come to study."

The reporter learned that in the 2021-2022 academic year, when the school's silver-age teachers had a total of more than 10,000 lessons, they conducted more than 120 special lectures.

Learned a few new songs

In addition to work, Liu Wei often took some "extravagance". The School of Management of Liu Wei officially enrolled in 2018. This year, the first student faced graduation. After learning that students were under pressure, Liu Wei couldn't sit still.

He called his friends and also called the former students, hoping to use his social resources to help students find more employment opportunities. After many contacts, fortunately, there was no busy busy. In the end, dozens of companies came to the western Yunnan University of Yunnanx.

Sun Heqin said that as a professional class teacher, especially the silver -age professor who came to support the teaching, Professor Liu did not need to worry about the employment of the students, but he actively opened Luo, "He is true to help the children here."

When Liu Wei and Zhou Yuemei took a walk on campus in western Yunnan University of Applied Technology, the students took the back of the two and made postcards for them.

According to the original plan, Liu Wei and Zhou Yuemei should end the support life in May 2021. However, after discussing the couple, they renewed the three -year support agreement with the school.

For more than two years of teaching in Yunnan, they have gained the most rustic feelings of students. "Children may not express it well, but they will express their love to you in their own way." Once, Liu Wei and Zhou Yuemei took a walk at the playground. Some students secretly took photos and made postcards for them. The couple Liu Wei walked on the road and greeted the students. The students had to take out the pears they just bought from the bag and stuffed them in their hands. Many of these moments often move Liu Wei and his wife.

At the end of the interview, the reporter asked Professor Liu whether the teaching was a very happy thing. Professor Liu took out his mobile phone, opened the album, and played a video to reporters. In the video, the sunset was reflected in the campus playground. The students sat around. Liu Wei stood in the crowd and sang "You Laughing Beautiful", singing to the climax, and the students sang the chorus under the festival.

"In his later years, come to the west to share knowledge and experience with teachers and students, and accompany them through youth. It is a happy thing." Professor Liu said that this summer vacation, he learned a few new songs and waited until until he waited for In the new semester, in the evening playground, he would sing to the students.

Luo Jinzhong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Western Yunnan University of Applied Technology, said, "The arrival of silver -age teachers has injected power, vitality, and potential into the school. Big, both 'blood transfusion', and 'blood -making'. "
