Remember when I was at school,
Did the teacher write a comment for you?
After reading the comments written by the Shanghai primary school teacher to the children, I can’t help but sigh.
Behind these comments with love lies the most essential and profound significance of education … …
In the exercise book of a sick child on leave, the teacher left this passage:Is the baby getting better? You haven’t been here for a few days, and looking at your empty seat, the teacher really misses you a little … …

The next day, the children only wrote one sentence: I am so happy that I can fold handmade paper today.

The teacher replied,Why can you fold handmade paper today? Should I explain it? This makes the sentence a little longer … …
Another child wrote about going to the Grand Theatre to watch ballet with her mother. The teacher not only commented word for word, but also wrote her own views and feelings. Finally, she even wrote in a tone of some remorse:Maybe what the teacher wrote to Xiao Liang is too deep. Can Xiao Liang understand it?


I believe that after reading this paragraph, everyone is full of infinite affection, such as the kind comments that come back and forth with the children’s hearts and chats, and they will feel moved and admired in their hearts: How much love and respect does this teacher have for the children in his heart, so that he can turn into such affectionate words?
#01 Walk into the child’s heart with the expression of love
The teacher who wrote these comments is Wu Rongjin, the principal of Luwan No.1 Central Primary School in Huangpu District, Shanghai. She began to write loving comments for children like this, which originated from a challenge 20 years ago.
In 2002, at the faculty meeting, Cheng Hua, the then president, proposed to select a class in the whole school to carry out emotional education as a pilot. As soon as the proposal came out, the originally quiet venue suddenly fried the pot. What is emotional education? How to carry out the emotional education class? Thinking that many children are weak in empathy and not good at expressing their feelings, only 24-year-old young class teacher Wu Rongjin stood up first and said, I do!

Where should the first step of emotional education go? She made a bold attempt with the students and shared what she wanted to say in her composition every day. She also agreed with the children that these words of emotional communication were called "barometers", which could be long or short, and the teacher only wrote comments without grading.
Slowly, the children found that no matter what they wrote in the composition book, they could all get Mr. Wu’s response.

The children write day by day, and Wu Rongjin answers one article after another, often much longer than the children write. There are meticulous writing instructions in the comments, caring and considerate like relatives, and sharing feelings like friends. In the exchange of exchanges, children began to reveal their true feelings.
To this day, Wu Rongjin still remembers a child named Xiaoyudian. She was only in Luwan Central Primary School for a few months, and then died of sudden illness. After the child left, the mother came to school and said that many small notes were found under the child’s bed and in the bookcase. When they were opened, they all said "Mom, I love you".

Wu Rongjin was very touched. She found out the "barometer" of raindrops and found that there were folded five-pointed stars inside, which were written in faint words:Miss Wu, please open it!When she opened the five-pointed star, she burst into tears instantly. Every five-pointed star read:Miss Wu, I love you!
At that moment, Wu Rongjin suddenly understood that when we express our true feelings and love to our children, the children are actually expressing their love in their own way.
#02 Plant the seeds of love for children with real love actions.
One barometer after another recorded too many emotional exchanges between her and the children. However, Wu Rongjin soon discovered that it is far from enough for emotional education classes to stay in communication.
There is a girl named Xiaoyu in the class. Because there is always some smell in her hair and body, her classmates are unwilling to play with her. Observing the students’ dislike and indifference to small fish, Wu Rongjin began to reflect on himself. Emotional education, the seed of love, must be planted in the hearts of children with tangible actions.
Looking at the small fish huddled in the corner, Wu Rongjin decided to take another special emotional education class. She bought a lot of beautiful hairpins for Xiaoyu, a nice shampoo for her and a lot of beautiful pigtails for her. Since then, Wu Rongjin has acquired a new habit. She often takes home students whose parents are on business trips and the elderly at home are not in good health, and cooks and tutors for them.

One day in 2019, Wu Rongzhen, who usually loves coffee, suddenly sent a circle of friends:Quit coffee, first day of punching in.
Colleagues were puzzled, and later everyone knew that it was because a student didn’t like eating, which seriously affected his health. Wu Rongjin agreed with her: "I like drinking coffee, so I’ll give it up. You should try to take another bite of what you don’t want to eat, and we will stick to it together."
In this way, in order to make this beautiful agreement with her children, she insisted on giving up coffee punching for 400 days. This child who doesn’t like eating has also become healthy, confident, positive and bright in this 400-day agreement.
For every child, Wu Rongjin tried her best and was willing to do it. The children can see her actions of love again and again, and they can feel it more personally. Love is like pebbles thrown into the water, and the ripples become bigger and bigger, and they are thrown into each child’s heart little by little, and love is used to convey more love!
#03 Plant this red seed when the child is a child.
In 2004, Wu Rongjin began to take the leadership position of the school, and the students she faced also expanded from one class to more than 1,300 students in a school. How to make the education of love go deep into every child and guide them to love themselves, others and society until they gradually have feelings of home and country?
In October 2005, when Wu Rongjin led the students to visit and study at the site of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China, she found that "there are not many children who listen carefully, and their eyes are scattered!" This makes Wu Rongjin, as the principal, immediately fall into a strong concern:If a child in China can’t understand the history of China, or even the Communist Party of China (CPC), how sad it is.

At that moment, Wu Rongjin suddenly realized that it was really too late to tell the children about these history until junior high school and senior high school, when their children basically had values and outlook on life. We must plant this red seed in their childhood.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t sit still for a moment. She wanted to start a small red commentator’s club that children could understand. Let the children look up the information themselves, drill into the history themselves and explain it in their own language.

In the summer vacation of 2006, the small lecturers welcomed their first single lecture at the site of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China. Recalling the pictures of that day, Wu Rongjin said, I was very nervous, but the children were very calm and confident. There is a scene that I still can’t forget. An old gentleman whispered praise while taking pictures: This kind of story can be passed down from generation to generation, and there will be someone in the future in the motherland!
Today, Wu Rongjin has accompanied one small commentator after another for 16 years, and the children’s explanations have been added in English, Allegro and comic books.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party. When many visitors heard the children’s explanation of Shanghai dialect, they were all filled with emotion. Just 100 years ago, on the night of July, 1921, in this small living room of only 18 square meters, it was the local accents that gathered into the loudest voice: Long live the Communist Party of China (CPC)!
"Emotional education begins with love and sublimates to a certain height, which is Chinese’s feelings of home and country, that is, patriotism and love for the party." Wu Rongjin planted red seeds in the hearts of children and waited for them to blossom … …
#04 The essence of education is a word love!

Wu Rongjin, who has been a principal for 17 years and a teacher for 27 years, still appears at the school gate at 7: 40 every day, smiling at her favorite children. She is like a "perpetual motion machine". The mobile phone is always turned on 24 hours a day. No matter who can find her in the first time, any questions can be answered in the first time.
She is so busy that she sleeps only four hours every day, but in order to let the children sleep a little longer, she tries to push Luyi Primary School to "postpone classes for a quarter of an hour". In order to strengthen the children’s physique, she ran around the stadiums and gymnasiums around the school and offered more than 40 sports courses.
When the students graduated, she personally wrote small cards to each child. There are thousands of people in her WeChat address book, and many children who have graduated for a long time are still there. If there are any troubles or difficulties, no matter how busy and tired she is, she must reply as soon as possible.
People often wonder why Wu Rongjin can work tirelessly and passionately every day. It turns out that behind Wu Rongjin, there are also one love story after another.

When she went to primary school at the age of 6, her parents were busy at work and her work was far away. It was Teacher Chen Peiyu who accompanied her until evening, dark or even night. The company given by the teacher made her feel great love and warmth.
At the age of 16, she went to college, and it was teacher Zhang Xiaochun’s comments that taught her encouragement and tolerance. At the age of 26, she became a teacher, and it was President Cheng Hua who taught her to be meticulous and respectful.
"I used to be lit by others, and now I want to light others." After becoming a principal, Wu Rongjin often told teachers not to be a teacher if they don’t love their children. Teachers, who have to shoulder this responsibility, must integrate this responsibility into their blood, and become full of feelings of loving, respecting and caring for their children, and accompany them to the most critical journey in life.

It is Wu Rongjin’s greatest wish to make every child become a person who adapts to society, is physically and mentally healthy and has the ability to be happy. She embraced every wandering child with her delicate love. She leaned down again and again and slowly walked into the hearts of the children.
For 27 years, Wu Rongjin has irrigated the children’s hearts with love and respect. She has influenced a group of teachers with her whole-hearted investment, and at the same time, she has also shown us.The essence of education is a word — —love!
A few days ago, the All-China Women’s Federation made a decision to award Wu Rongjin the title of "National March 8th Red Flag Bearer". Today, the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee publicized Wu Rongjin’s advanced deeds to the whole society and awarded her the title of "model of the times".
If you don’t forget it, there will be repercussions.
If there is light, there must be a distance!
Today, in China, a land that respects teachers and values education,
There are millions of Wu Rongjin,
They plant the seeds of love every day,
Care for the growth of every child with love,
Light up the dreams of teenagers with love,
Use love to achieve the power of education growth!
