"Old horse, Come and Help Me to Move the Sofa!" With a mixed voice of Chinese and English, a "foreigner" with a height of 1.9 meters came. Short T -shirts, gray pants, lift the sofa and move chairs, do whatever you need. He is a foreign teacher at the School of Economics and Management of Shanghai Ocean University and Professor Marcus Labretht, Austria.

At the beginning of March, Haida began to encourage teachers to start online teaching at home, but Marcus hoped to live in school and undergo closed management. A few days later, at home, he made an application for entering the school again, hoping to enter the school as soon as possible to be an anti -epidemic volunteer. In late March, the college graduate student re -examination was fully opened, and Marcus filed an application for admission for the third time, hoping to participate in various types of tasks in the interview. He told the leader: "My student is at school. I am a teacher. I should be with them and spend this difficult period with them."

However, due to the continuous changes in the epidemic, the first three applications for "Old Horse" were not approved. Three months of failing to enter the school, the "old horse" was not idle. He overcomes the difficulty of language inconvenience, plays various online teaching software, and has every online lesson for students, and strives to promote academic research. At the same time, he also focused on the situation of teachers and students in the school at all times, giving timely care and help.

In early April, when the old horse learned the news, he immediately called the school teacher and comforted the students. Material procurement and transportation pathway.

It was the most severe period in the Shanghai epidemic. "Old Horse" solved some materials through community group purchase, and took out the materials that were not much of their own family. But how do you give this international student? In those days, "Old Horse" was so anxious that he couldn't even eat meals, and kept walking around at home. In his son's words, "Dad is like a" wolf "in the cage in the zoo."

After many twists and turns, the supplies carrying Professor Marcus were full of disinfection and sterilization in accordance with the requirements of the epidemic prevention. Since then, "Old Horse" has always been in contact with the students and said, "If you have any difficulties, don't hesitate, please contact me at any time."

On May 31st, the "Old Horse" submitted the book for the volunteer for the fourth time. On June 3rd, he finally returned to the Campus of Haida University. In addition to completing the normal teaching and research work, he also took the initiative to take a number of "work": the public area of ​​the college building was eliminated, sorted out the academic qualifications for graduates, visited and condolences international students, shared international education experience, and helped complete physical space integration Move ... Faced with the care of colleagues, he always smiled and said, "Not tired, but very happy."

The epidemic has gradually improved, and the summer campus is beautiful. "Old Horse" said that in the epidemic, the major teachers and students in the epidemic advancing and retreat made him believe that he had made the right choice. "Shanghai Ocean University is a harbor that I want to keep working and willing to retire here and live here. It is another warm home.
