Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 331 Great Educational Philosophy

Old Mr. Ji Zhuowu and others were taken to the farm dormitory in Houshan. When Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang arrived, Mr. Ji and Mr. Zheng, who lived in seclusion in Houshan, were talking happily.

Ever since Mr. Zheng came to Yanwang Mountain, he has been living a secluded life, but he unexpectedly ran into an old acquaintance.

"Look, the Lord you've been talking about is here!"

Mr. Zheng pointed to Zhou Weihan, and then introduced: "This is Zhou Weihan, the leader of the independent detachment, and the one next to him is political commissar Zhao Gang!"

After Mr. Ji heard about it, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Two comrades of the Eighth Route Army, thank you, thank you very much!"

"Mr. Ji, we have admired your name for a long time, you are welcome, please sit down!" Zhao Gang stretched out his hand and invited everyone to sit down.

"Old man, it looks like you knew Mr. Ji before?" Zhou Weihan asked.

"You see, I call you the old man, and when you come to me, you call me the old man!" Zheng Laobai gave Zhou Weihan a look, and said angrily.

"Brother, so Comrade Zhou regards you as an elder. Your child is not in front of you. How nice it is to have such a junior by your side!"

Mr. Zheng immediately said seriously: "Zhuo Wu studied in Beiping in the early years, and I met him. If I remember correctly, you graduated from the Jingshi Excellent Normal School!"

"That's right, it's rare for you to remember that it was the first year of its establishment, and Zhang Xiangshuai was still giving a speech at the opening ceremony. It's been thirty years now, and they are all old bones. I really envy young people like them! Mr. Ji touched his beard and said with emotion.

The predecessor of the Jingshi Superior Normal School, which Mr. Ji graduated from, was the Normal School of the Jingshi University Hall established in 1902.
In June 1909, it was restructured into Jingshi Excellent Normal School, and its status was expressed in one sentence: "Teacher education is the origin of all education, and Jingshi Excellent Normal School is the standard of national education."

In 1915, Beiyang named it BJ Higher Normal School in the name of the President, and inscribed the plaque of "Education Origin".

Later, it evolved into Beijing Normal University.

"Come on, let's not talk about the past, the two of you must have a serious business here, let's talk about it!" Zheng Lao said.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you!" Zhou Weihan smiled, and then talked about the Tainan Cadre School.

"There is no problem with this matter. I can promise on behalf of them. There are many teachers on the mountain. Although most of them are teachers from high school, they can teach some early cultural courses and can handle it!" Mr. Ji said immediately. manner.

"Mister, that's great, we need your help very much!" Zhao Gang said excitedly.

"Comrade Zhou, Comrade Zhao, I have been in Yanwang Mountain for a few days, and I have been around Yanwang Mountain. I also heard from Brother Zheng about the situation in Wuyi and Wu'an. This place is much more stable than the eastern part of Handan!"

"Before the Japanese came, I was the head of education in Handan. Although there was chaos at that time, it was better than now. The school running in HD has not been delayed, but now that the Japanese have come, many schools have closed down!"

Mr. Ji said that he looked straight at Zhou Weihan and the two: "Wuyi and Wu'an are good places to run schools. China's education cannot be stopped. We must wake up the people. The little devil hopes that our country will be destroyed and our species will be wiped out, so as to realize his shit. In the circle, many young people are studying in Japanese schools, if things go on like this, what hope is there for China!"

"Education is a century-old plan. Although wartime education is in an extraordinary period, we should insist on normal education. Education is the foundation of a country. To build a country and to be strong, it needs to train countless talents, especially when the country is facing intermittent life and death. At this critical moment, this is an absolute need, this is the strongest and most reliable strength of a country!"

"I want to continue running the school in the base area, is that okay?" The old gentleman looked at Zhou Weihan and the two with tears in his eyes.

With this situation, all the people present were moved. An old man who knows his destiny, could have spoiled his grandchildren and cared for his life, but he is still running in the cause of education in China.

Two sons were sent to the battlefield, and even the third son was engaged in anti-Japanese patriotic activities.

During the anti-Japanese period, mountains and rivers were broken, wars were raging, and people were displaced, making it difficult to live and work in peace and contentment.

However, in this difficult time when the country was in dire straits and the people were in dire straits, the education and culture at that time grew against the trend, presenting another rather rare and spectacular scene, which made people feel infinitely moved.

Before the Japanese army invaded China in 1937, there were 108 colleges and universities in the country, but by the end of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, the number had increased to 141, with a growth rate of nearly 30%. In 1936, there were about 4 college students. The number of teachers has almost doubled to more than 1945, and the number of teachers has also expanded by more than 8%.

This is just college students, and there are many educated and intellectual young people.

通过**双方和民主教育人士的努力，通过各种各样的正规、非正规学校教育以及积极创办民教馆、阅览室、图书馆等文化设施，至1945年，四川适龄儿童入学率达80%、云南43%、西康57%、陕西58%……总体保持在50%以上。

In 1941, more than 5800 literacy classes and literacy groups had been set up in the Border Region, absorbing nearly 4 people to eliminate illiteracy, making great progress in the eradication of illiteracy.

In the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region, according to the statistics of only 48 counties, there were 1938 primary schools in 4898 with 220460 students. By 1945, almost every village had primary schools. The average enrollment rate of school-age children in each county was over 70%, and some counties reached 90%.In 1941, there were more than 1 primary schools in the Shandong base area, with 40 students.By 1945, the number of primary schools had grown to 25000, with more than 170 million students.

It is precisely because there are patriots like Mr. Ji who are still running for the cause of education under the rule of the Japanese army, and they have glorious national integrity.

In the time of national crisis, intellectuals do not "keep their ears off the window and read only the books of sages", but are always concerned about the fate of the country and the nation. The establishment of the Southwest Associated University, the Northwest Associated University, and the Anti-Japanese University, etc., reflects the spirit of a generation of intellectuals to build a strong country through education.

"Old man, we were negligent in this aspect before, but now that you are leading us, we will definitely do our best to support the running of the school!" Zhao Gang said while shaking Mr. Ji's hand.

Zhou Weihan also expressed his opinion: "Our Eighth Route Army fully supports running schools in base areas. This is a great thing. I can promise that we will bear all the expenses for students whose families are in difficulties!"

"Thank you, thank you, I will gather the manpower as soon as possible, find more teachers, and start a school in the base area as soon as possible!"

Zhou Weihan has another idea. If the running of schools in the base area can be promoted, not to mention more, a dozen villages jointly run a primary school. If there are enough people, they can also open literacy classes. What kind of situation will it be? scene.
