Those two years refer to the two years I studied and lived in Huangmei No.1 Middle School.

In those two years, the school gate also faced south, facing the old East Street in Huangmei Town. It is about thirty or forty meters from the school gate to the street, and there are two rows of tall and lush buttonwood trees on both sides of the gate. In the autumn of September, the lush leaves set off the antique school gate more quietly.

In the small house on the left hand side of the door, there lived a thin old man. In the small pavilion next to it, there is an ancient bronze bell hanging. In addition to switching the school gate, the old man is also responsible for ringing the bell for class and the bell for class. In those two years, there was no security guard at the school gate.

Standing at the school gate, looking north, is a broad central square. The office building is located in the northernmost part of the central square. There are about two rows of opposite newspaper columns at the entrance of the building. On both sides of the square are tall and lush buttonwood trees, and rows of bungalows covered with branches and leaves are symmetrically arranged on both sides. There are three basketball courts on the right near the school gate. The first and second rows of bungalows on the east side of the basketball court are junior high school classrooms.

The high school classroom is on the left side of the gate, with two rows of bungalows. The first row of bungalows, from west to east, are classrooms from Grade One (1) to Grade One (4) in turn; The second row, from east to west, is the classroom from Grade Two (1) to Grade Two (4). The classroom in Class 4, Grade 1 is closest to the school gate. There is a clearing between the school gate and the gable in the east of our classroom. There is a swing rack in the open space, which is our favorite place for recess activities. Many boys run to the swing frame after class, climb up and slide down, climb up and slide down.

In those two years, school leaders and teachers lived in the school; The vast majority of students are also resident students. The whole school seems to be a natural village.

In those two years, thirty or forty boys in a class lived in a big dormitory of about seventy or eighty square meters. The bed is a bunk bed, one bunk bed and two beds for four students. Each student brought a wooden box, a bucket and a washbasin from home. Students with better economic conditions also brought an open water bottle. The wooden box is placed at the head of the bed or in front of the bed where you sleep, and most other items are stuffed under the bed.

In those two years, we all got up when the bell rang in the morning. After washing, I want to run consciously. As soon as the bell rings, we will gather in the central square, line up in front of the office building and do broadcast gymnastics. Do morning exercises before reading in the classroom. There is only one morning reading, no big or small reading. There are four classes in the morning and three classes in the afternoon. The last class every day is a firm extracurricular free activity class.

There was basically no homework in those two years. Because there is no information except textbooks; There are no exercises except the exercises in the textbook. In those two years, there was no class every Saturday afternoon, evening and Sunday.

In those two years, the main leaders of the school were two respected old gentlemen. Mr. Chen, the secretary of the general party branch of our school, is short and inconvenient to walk. However, every time before the heavy rain comes, Mr. Chen hobbles along the drainage ditch on campus, bending down from time to time to remove debris or silt from the ditch. Mr Wu Zhenzhong, the headmaster, has a thin face and gray hair. Whenever the school doesn't have classes on Saturday and Sunday, President Wu will voluntarily teach the students "300 Self-taught China Ancient Literature" in the stepped classroom on the third floor of the office building, and all the students who attend the class voluntarily go. The book "300 Self-taught Classics", with a white cover, was written and printed by the school. President Wu told us about Ailian, Humble Room Inscription and Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong Writing Huai" ... President Wu told us that "thirty fame and fortune, eight thousand miles of clouds and the moon. The voice of "Don't wait, turn the boy's head white, empty and sad" still echoes in my ears.

In those two years, we all lined up in front of the library to buy Chinese food and dinner. The school library is located in the east of two rows of classrooms in junior high school, with the gate facing west and close to the canteen. It is a building with a strong sense of history and culture, simple and elegant. Although it is also a bungalow, it looks solemn and majestic. The front of the library is open, with a forest, an ancient well and some stone benches. We bought rice, and most people sat on stone benches or squatted on the ground, eating fermented bean curd brought from home and fetching water from the well to wash dishes. After dinner, I will carry a bucket to the pool next to the canteen to make hot water.

In those two years, the school did not require the class teacher to be on duty on Saturday. The head teacher doesn't need to be nailed to the podium like a nail or squatted on the podium like a toilet. The head teacher never charges, but he should lead the students to work on the school-run farm.

There were labor classes at school in those two years. When I was a freshman, I had labor classes every Thursday afternoon. The present experimental middle school was built on the farm run by No.1 Middle School at that time. The most impressive labor class is picking shit. There are three public toilets on campus. We use a dung spoon to scoop the excrement in these toilets into the dung bucket. The younger students are carrying a bucket, while the older students are carrying things. Under the leadership of Mr. Zhou Shengxian, the head teacher and Chinese teacher, we marched along the field path to the school-run farm. Teacher Zhou sowed, weeded, fertilized and harvested with us.

During those two years, Miss Zhou and her lover stood outside the classroom window and looked at us. One day, it was another teacher's class My deskmate Chen and I were playing tricks under the table, and Mr. Zhou found us. Teacher Wang invited a girl, classmate Lu, to sit at my desk. As soon as Lu sat down, he drew a 38th parallel. Our classroom is like Miss Wang's wheat field. We are the wheat in the wheat field, and Mr. Wang is the laborer and watchman in the wheat field.

In those two years, Teacher Zhou's method of speaking vernacular Chinese was basically a learning plan guidance method that appeared decades later and has been fashionable to this day. Teacher Wang first writes some questions on the blackboard, then lets us communicate on the basis of reading the text by ourselves, and then randomly asks us to answer the questions on the blackboard. After answering the questions, Mr. Wang will make a short comment.

In those two years, Mr. Zhou spoke classical Chinese, sometimes word for word and analyzed it in detail. Slow words are methodical and nuanced; Sometimes, from here to there, it is naturally associated with freedom.

Yes, Mr. Wang told the story of Zhongshan Wolf. Especially when it comes to "animals are so ungrateful, but they still can't bear to kill them." Good people are stupid! Save people from the well, take off your clothes and live with your friends. If you plan, you will get something. If you do, you will die! " At that time, in addition to explaining the basic meaning of the sentence, it was also said that "the man who saved the well" came from the Analects of Confucius, which said, "If you kill me, I ask,' Benevolent people, although they tell me that there is benevolence in the well, how can they follow it?" Confucius said,' What is it? A gentleman can die, but not sink. ""After explaining the meaning of these words, Mr. Wang went on to mention other sentences with similar meanings, such as the last two sentences of the poem "Bee" by Luo Yin, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, "After the flowers are picked into honey, whoever works hard is sweet" and extended them.

Mr. Wang said, "Students, think about these words carefully. The full text of Luo Yin's "Bee" is:' No matter the flat land or the top of the mountain, there are infinite scenery. After the flowers are picked into honey, who works hard for whom and who is sweet?' This poem praises the noble character of hard work of bees, and also implies the author's hatred and dissatisfaction with people who get something for nothing. It is extremely selfish to watch' save people from the well, undress and live with friends, gain something from other plans, and die if you gain something' and' work hard for whoever is sweet'. Self-protection is the first law of nature. This sentence has always been misunderstood by people as, if people do not seek personal gain for themselves, they will be punished by heaven. In fact, the word' for' here, read the second time, means' cultivate one's morality'. Its original intention is that if a person does not pay attention to self-cultivation, it is difficult to stand between heaven and earth ... "Teacher Wang speaks slowly, and we remember it tightly, filling the gap between the upper and lower lines of the textbook. In this way, Teacher Wang consciously or unconsciously improved our Chinese level, ideological level and moral level. Among Mr. Wang's students, there are deans and directors, many of whom are from teaching to medicine. I think this is not an accident, but a necessity.

In those two years, there were three teachers who taught us mathematics: Mr. Chen Huaer, Mr. Xu and Mr. Mei Jiajun. Last term, Mr. Chen taught us the basic knowledge of functions. When Mr. Chen lectures, his voice is crisp and pleasant. He always has a smile on his face, and the blue fingers that are tilted when writing on the blackboard are also very beautiful. After the placement of arts and sciences, Mr. Xu taught us solid geometry. Mr. Xu is burly and has a strong three-dimensional sense. Xu teacher always takes compasses and triangles with him in class, and he paints very well. If a question needs to be used as an auxiliary line, xu teacher will stop for a while, look up, as if thinking, but actually it is intended to make us think.

When I was a sophomore, Teacher Mei Jiajun made her debut. Mr. Mei is from Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. Teacher Wang taught us trigonometric functions, complex numbers, vectors, analytic geometry, determinant and matrix, sequence and limit, elementary calculus, derivatives and so on, and many of them have forgotten. Although Mr. Wang is a math teacher, his literary talent is excellent, and he speaks idioms in math class. For example, Mr. Yi talked about four solutions. Then commented: "This solution is gradual, this solution is concise and to the point, this solution is ingenious, this solution is winding and secluded, similar to the third solution, and the four solutions lead to the same goal. We can solve math problems by hook or by crook, and those with high skills and boldness can try deviant methods. After you study hard, you will find that sometimes there is no road to doubt, and there is another village. But sometimes deliberately looking for a job is self-defeating. " The words "Sometimes you deliberately look for a job, but you outsmart yourself" actually appear on our college entrance examination Chinese paper!

In those two years, there were three or only two teachers who taught us English. Last semester, the English teacher of Senior One was Miss Liu, a tall female teacher from Qingdao, Shandong. Mr. Wang's major is Russian and English is her second foreign language. Teacher Liu was the teacher I feared most in those two years. I didn't learn English before I entered No.1 Middle School, but when I was studying plane geometry, I was exposed to 26 English letters, many of which didn't even know the pronunciation. Although Mr. Wang knows that my English foundation is zero, he has no pity. As long as he learns English, he will definitely twist me up and say. How many times before English classes, I wandered around the swing frame and looked at my husband's way to class. I'm nervous, scared and scared. How unfortunate and lucky it is to meet such an English teacher!

A male teacher came to the first English class after the placement of arts and sciences. We are all at a loss. In those two years, I was singing before the first class in the morning and afternoon. In the second English class, when the literary and art committee saw the teacher coming, they sent a song "The Helmsman Sailing at Sea", and we sang "The Helmsman Sailing at Sea" loudly. The teacher arrived at the door of the classroom, and then the Literary and Art Committee sent a song "Dongfanghong", and we sang "Dongfanghong" loudly. The teacher understood our meaning and left angrily. Now that I think about it, what we did at that time was very immoral. The first song, the teacher's name is embedded in the title; In the second song, the title of the song can derive a very targeted and insulting meaning. Later, it was teacher Zhang who taught us English.

In those two years, two teachers who taught us loved to give us nicknames. In the eyes of Mr. Zhang, the political teacher, all our classmates are XXX! All Mr. Wang's students should remember these three words. Matter determines consciousness, right? When your mother saw how many rice noodles there were, she thought about how many cakes she could make, that is, matter determines consciousness. You can study, your family eats and drinks cards to save money for you, and you can squeeze some money out of your teeth, so your father decided to send you to study. This is also the matter that determines consciousness. Understand? ×××! What is a commodity? Your old hen laid a few eggs. In order to help you go to school, your mother took them to the street and sold them secretly, or gave you another pen. Those eggs are commodities. However, if your mother cooks eggs for you, those eggs are not commodities. Understand? Xxxx, what the hell! Have you noticed? Those eggs must be your private property, not stolen, but stolen goods. Private products are not for their own consumption, but for others, that is, for social consumption. When they are produced, they enter the society through consumption exchange and become commodities. Understand? ..... At this time, a classmate raised his hand. Mr. Wang looked at him and said, XXX, you say. The classmate who raised his hand stood up and said, the egg belongs to the hen, and the fucking egg is stolen. There was a burst of laughter in the classroom, and Mr. Wang laughed with it. We've laughed enough. The gentleman said, xx ×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××× Usually it is a handout for half a class, and half a class reviews current events at home and abroad. In the two years of the college entrance examination, politics should be tested in current affairs politics.

In those two years, another gentleman who loved to give us nicknames was our physics teacher, Mr. Hu, a Beidou figure in Mount Tai. Mr. Wang is from Wuhan. After graduating from college, I went to the countryside and came to Huangmei to receive re-education for poor middle peasants. Mr. Wang is so tall that everyone can look up. In those two years, under Mr. Hu's professor, we didn't think physics was the most difficult subject in high school at all. Teacher Hu's class is characterized by writing on the blackboard. Every word is neat, and there is a gap of half a word evenly distributed between two adjacent words; Every word seems to be engraved, and the blackboard seems to be the steel plate used to engrave the test paper; On the whole blackboard surface, the blackboard is neat, like a carved wax paper. Mr. Wang's stick figure is also very good, concise and vivid.

As for what is good about Mr. Wang's lecture, it's hard for me to tell you why. Imitating the expression of the composition materials in the national language volume of the new college entrance examination in 2022, "original hand, skillful hand and vulgar hand are three terms of Go. This finger conforms to the regular moves of chess; Skillful hands refer to unexpected subtle methods; Vulgar fingers are seemingly reasonable methods, usually from the overall situation. " Mr. Wang teaches by himself most of the time. "For example, Teacher Wang said" Force Analysis of Objects ":Zhang Sanfeng stood in a daze by the swing in the east of our classroom. How much force did he take? Li Simao came to pull Zhang Sanfeng but didn't. Zhang Sanfeng got how many troops at this time? Li Simao put down Zhang Sanfeng and climbed along the straight swing at a constant speed. How much force did Li Simao suffer? The second Newton felt that the swing frame was going to fall down, so he quickly found a long board to support the swing frame. Xiao Xiucai felt that he was still unreliable and lay down on the long board. How much power is acting on the little scholar? How much force does the inclined long board bear? Please ask Zhang Sanfeng Li Simao to go to the podium and draw his own stress diagram, and ask Er Newton to draw the stress diagram of the little scholar. Little scholar! You should know the stress of the longboard when you are lying on it-Mr. Wang looked at the little scholar with encouragement and expectation.

In those two years, I went to No.1 Middle School on my own. Parents have more money, more officials, but not enough grades. No In No.1 Middle School, the school has the final say in which class to assign. My parents have more money and more officials. I want to choose my own class, but I can't.

In the year when we were in No.1 Middle School, students with slightly higher scores in the senior high school entrance examination were all assigned to 1 class (1) to Class 4, which is similar to the current key classes. Senior one 1 class (1) is biased, and senior four is biased. Teacher Hu teaches physics in Grade One (1), Grade One (4) and Grade One (7). When Mr. Wang came back to life, when the arts and sciences were divided into classes, we almost collectively transferred to science in Class 4 of Senior One.

Teacher Hu not only speaks well in class, but also plays basketball well. Teacher Hu, who is gentle and gentle on the podium, has become a vigorous warrior on the basketball court. In the last extracurricular activity class in the afternoon, many students in our class gathered around the basketball court to watch Mr. Wang play ball. The tallest man on the court tied his glasses behind his head with elastic bands. The most handsome person in the three-step hurdle is our teacher Hu.

In those two years, no matter what subjects, only one chapter was written, and the teacher carved a test paper with iron pen, wax paper and steel plate for testing. Examination is definitely not a magic weapon for teachers; The students didn't realize that it was their lifeblood.

In those two years, the teachers didn't have the sacred sense of mission to change the students' destiny, nor did they have the solemn pride that I could change the students' destiny. Teaching and educating people is like sweeping the table, just a job. In the second year of high school, the classroom has moved to the westernmost side of the row of bungalows opposite. We are still the same, but we feel far away from the swing. What the teacher said is getting closer and closer to the back page of the textbook. We still eat and sleep as usual, read books and listen to lectures step by step, and do exercises in textbooks in an orderly way, even slowly.

In those two years, no teacher deliberately preached the importance of the college entrance examination, let alone shouted slogans during the countdown, making the college entrance examination look like the Great Patriotic War. Before the college entrance examination, we have to take the college entrance examination preview, and only after passing the preview can we be qualified to take the college entrance examination. Teacher Mei Jiajun, the math teacher before the exam, mentioned the college entrance examination. Mr. Mei said, "Now, a storm is coming. At that time, the * * * production party defeated the Kuomintang aircraft with millet and rifles to increase guns; Now, you should use fermented bean curd and fermented soybean to deal with the big fish and big meat of urban children. What scares you even more is that you spent two years dealing with them for three years. It's really a pity, but some people are still wasting their time and making no progress. Dark clouds crush the city and destroy it! " Before the exam at the end of May, the college entrance examination on July 7th, 8th and 9th. After the exam, I returned to the classroom and found that many students' seats were empty, only to feel that the atmosphere seemed a little tense.

In those two years, almost no class teacher talked to the students. If so, the students must have made a big mistake. After the exam, our teacher Zhou found several classmates one after another and talked at the front door of the classroom. In a few words, very concise. Teacher Zhou first asked me if there were still four composition books for two years in high school. If there are, I will leave them for him as a souvenir, and then remind me that there is still more than one month before the college entrance examination. Don't be impatient. As long as you can get the preliminary test results, you can enter the physics department of a university.

In those two years, before the college entrance examination, the school didn't have a study meeting on exam style and discipline, a mobilization swearing-in meeting before the exam, and no teacher gave guidance before the exam. After breakfast three days before the college entrance examination, Mr. Zhou asked all the students in our class to come to the classroom and line up in two rows. Miss Zhou stood in front of the team and said, "Students! At this time in three days, you will enter the college entrance examination room. I hope you will bravely accept the selection of the motherland and the people with full enthusiasm and high fighting spirit. All walks of life in the motherland need talents. Workers, farmers, business students and soldiers will all become top scholars. Chairman Mao taught us:' The world is yours and ours, but in the final analysis it is yours. You young people are full of vigor and vitality, just like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. Hope is pinned on you. "From now on, no matter what position you are in, it is the need of building socialism. I hope that the students will study harder and work hard to contribute their youth and strength to the early realization of the four modernizations! "

In those two years, because there were not so big textbooks, so thick review materials and so many test papers, students could leave the classroom with a few textbooks in their arms, so they left the classroom in a civilized, orderly and fast way. There is not even a wall clock in front of the examination room, and there is no waste paper on the classroom floor. So, clean the floor a little and move the desk a little, and the college entrance examination room will be arranged. From then on, we can never walk into this classroom again.

Two searchlights were installed on the buttonwood trees on the east and west sides of the central square of the school. In the evening, four searchlights lit up the central square. There are four incandescent lamps hanging high in the huge dormitory. It is said to be an incandescent lamp, but the light emitted is very dim. Our classmates who live in the central square are surrounded by three people and four people to review for the exam. The ground is steaming and the insects in the air are dancing. During the next day, all our students who live and study stayed in the dormitory without ceiling, or sat by the bed, or half-lying on the bed, or sitting on the bed against the wall, reviewing for the exam. Sweat dripped on his forehead and water dripped on his back. The burning sun shines through the tiles, and the dust in the light column is flying, and restless sparrows jump in and chirp from time to time.

In those two years, there were no "985" and "2 1 1" in the university, and there was no one book or two, and there was no distinction between three books and specialties. There are only two admission lines for middle schools and junior colleges. Only Wuhan University in Hubei is called University; Huazhong University of Science and Technology, then called Huazhong Institute of Technology; Wuhan Electronic Industry School is a good provincial secondary school. The "three characters and one painting" (brush, pen, chalk and stick figure) of the graduates of normal schools are all leveraged, and they are assigned to primary schools or junior high schools and can be taught in any subject.

In those two years, there were only two grades in Huangmei No.1 Middle School, and there were only eight classes in one grade, each with about 50 students. In that year's college entrance examination, our class took the second place in the college entrance examination, and 1 1 students were admitted to universities and technical secondary schools. The top class is Grade Two (1), and 17 is admitted to universities and technical secondary schools.

In those two years, I passed the college entrance examination. There is no "Happy College Entrance Examination" and no firecrackers in the school. As always, life is normal. The data mentioned above are not from the mouth of the teacher, but from each other.

That summer vacation, I want to say goodbye to the gentlemen. But when I came to school, I was afraid to see my husband. I stood alone by the newspaper column in front of the office building, reading the newspaper without looking at it.

"XXX, come here", it's teacher Zhang calling me. "Has the admission notice arrived?" I told you. Mr. Wang asked, "Which university?" I didn't make a sound. Mr. Wang seemed to understand and asked eagerly, "Did you fill it out yourself?" I said I didn't even know the school existed. Mr. Wang said solemnly, "Go and have a look first. If you are dissatisfied, you will return to the third year of high school wholeheartedly. "

Matter determines consciousness. As a rural child, don't care about the technical secondary school, as long as you don't move bricks. This is the unshakable consciousness of our parents. Teacher Zhang saw that I was still silent, and raised her voice and said, "Your study next school year and your life are all my business!"

I'm afraid I'll never come back ... my mentality at that time was estimated to be "I'll die from this ship, and Jianghai will send me the rest of my life". I thank Mr. Zhang for his speech. Two years later, Mr. Zhang swam in the river and became the deputy magistrate of Huangmei County and the vice chairman of Huanggang CPPCC.

After retirement, Mr. Zhang lives in the teacher's apartment opposite No.1 Middle School-Mingzhu Garden Community. Now, Mr. Zhang is over 80 years old and still radiant. Every morning, Mr. Zhang and his wife, Mr. Jiang, are very proud to come to the school cafeteria. Not long ago, after breakfast, I accompanied my husband to travel and mentioned the past. Mr. Wang paused, looked at me and waved and said, "Forget it!" " "

Those two years, those fragments, are unforgettable. Although the school gate, office building, classroom, library and swing frame can no longer be seen, although the land has been completely commercialized and a shopping mall has been built on it, the ancient bronze bell still stands on the top of the third floor in the east of the office building of Xinyi No.1 Middle School. As in those years, the crisp and powerful bell still echoes in the campus from time to time, as if it were the earnest entrustment of the teachers.
