If life had a starting line, someone was born in Rome

Chapter 181 Zhang Qi shouted!This is the pioneer in safeguarding women’s rights! (Three-in-one monthly pass plus updates)

Liu Yong and his party first saw Teacher Lin taking the initiative to get out of the car and quickly stepped forward to help the unattractive woman in front of them.

This show of respect in action surprised them.

But before he had time to react, he heard Lin Feng's introduction and suddenly realized——

The person in front of them is the big shot they have been looking forward to since last night!

Now finally see it!
Therefore, everyone did not dare to neglect and quickly said hello.

"Hello, Teacher Zhang!"

"Hello, Principal Zhang!"

While the few people were talking, they couldn't help but look Zhang Guimei up and down.

She has short, ear-length hair and wears black-rimmed glasses—a very simple female teacher with nothing outstanding about her.

He even seemed to be in poor health, with a thin body, a sallow complexion, and a slight stagger when walking.

And Teacher Lin has always maintained a supporting posture from the moment she appeared until now, which seems to confirm this.

The audience in the live broadcast room started talking out of curiosity.

"The principal of Huapin Girls' High School? This is a little different from the principal in my impression!"

"And Teacher Lin respects her too much, right? Why is that?"

"I feel like Teacher Lin is just like Teacher Zhang's junior. What's the story between them?"

"It should be that Teacher Zhang did something that even Teacher Lin admired, so he earned this respect!"

"But, what exactly is going on?"

"..."

Just when everyone was talking incessantly, Zhang Guimei smiled and spoke:

"Hi everybody."

At this time, Lin Feng added in a timely manner:

"Let me introduce you to each other."

"This is Teacher Zhang Guimei. She was originally a teacher in a big city in the north. Later, by chance, she came to Huapin to teach and stayed there for more than ten years. The Huapin Girls' High School you see now is the work of Teacher Zhang. Founded.”

"Teacher Zhang, let me introduce these people..."

Lin Feng took advantage of the situation and introduced the director, Sun Wei, and Wu Peng to Teacher Zhang one by one.

After everyone got to know each other, Lin Feng pointed to the camera on one side and said:

"...Teacher Zhang, I took the children from Xiangzhang Village to participate in a program, let's call it educational. The social response is pretty good, so I want to bring them to see you. It's live now. , look, can I enter the school?"

Zhang Guimei glanced at Lin Feng, her eyes full of appreciation. She already knew that Lin Feng was famous for participating in the show.

Even Ouyang Yun, the leader of the education group, wrote to him personally to make friends.

She was not surprised by this, because the two had met through volunteer teaching a few years ago. During the exchange, Lin Feng's unique vision and advanced understanding of education had already given her a sense of shock.

Now, it is normal for Lin Feng to cause such a big reaction in society.

And over the years, Lin Feng has seen how difficult it has been to establish this high school for girls, and has always provided as much help as he can.

Today's Huapin Girls' High School is still short of money. With exposure and popularity, maybe there will be funding or social donations to allow more girls to go to school.

This is the purpose of Lin Feng bringing the program team here.

Thinking of this, the smile on Zhang Guimei's face softened a bit, and she faced the camera openly:
"Of course you can enter the school! Please come in and we can go to the office to talk in detail."

In this way, a group of people slowly walked into the campus. Liu Yong looked around at the unprepossessing school and said softly:

"Teacher Zhang, we don't know much about Huapin Women's High School. Can you introduce it to us by the way and give us a general understanding?"

"of course can."

Zhang Guimei agreed immediately and introduced as she walked:

"Huapin Girls' High School is a free boarding school for girls. Our children are excellent and the teaching quality is also very good. For example, our college entrance examination results last year were very good, with a comprehensive admission rate of 100%... "

All Zhang Guimei thinks about is showing the results of Huapin Girls' High School to everyone, letting everyone know how outstanding the children in this school are, so that they can get the attention of all parties.

Therefore, the focus of her introduction was entirely on schools and children.

However, the focus of Sun Wei and Wu Peng, two curious babies, was completely off track.

Taking advantage of Teacher Zhang's pause, Sun Wei raised her little hand:
"Teacher Zhang, why did you build this school into a girls' high school? Nowadays, dedicated girls' high schools are still relatively rare."

This question was also what Wu Peng wanted to ask, and his ears immediately pricked up.

Lin Feng looked at Sun Wei who asked the question with approval. This made her a lot more courageous, and then asked:
"Also, I just heard Teacher Lin say that you came here to teach because of fate. What's the story in this?"

Zhang Guimei paused when she heard Sun Wei's question, with a bit of reminiscence in her expression:
"I was born in the 50s. When I was young, I caught up with the construction of the rear area and came here from the north to teach... In fact, there were many people like me at that time. There is nothing good to say about my experience!"

Zhang Guimei reached out and touched Sun Wei's head, and said with a smile:

"On the other hand, the children here have many stories. The reason why I founded the Girls' High School was precisely because I saw them."

While talking, Sun Wei smelled a strong smell of plaster, and then she saw that Zhang Guimei's hands were covered with plaster.

Therefore, when her hand touched her head, she brought this smell.

"Teacher Zhang, you...?"

Sun Wei reached out and held Zhang Guimei's hand. Just when she was about to ask a question, Zhang Guimei smiled indifferently:
"I have rheumatism, and I put on the plaster to relieve the pain. Did the smell bother you?"

Sun Wei shook her head gently:
"No, it smells inexplicably reassuring."

This was not because she was flattering Teacher Zhang, but because Sun Wei felt that Teacher Zhang, like Lin Feng, had a calming and reassuring power about him.

At this time Wu Peng could no longer bear it and said:
"Teacher Zhang, tell me what made you want to start this school because of what you saw."

"That's a long story..."

Zhang Guimei felt a little sad when she thought of her original intention of founding this girls' high school:

"When I used to teach, there were many girls in the school who were reading and reading, but suddenly they stopped coming."

"I would visit their homes and encourage them to learn."

"Did you know? Most of these girls dropped out of school for the same reason, that is, their families were poor and could not afford to support them, so they 'voluntarily' dropped out of school to work."

As she spoke, Zhang Guimei emphasized the word "voluntary" very hard.

When Sun Wei heard this, she felt something in her heart and looked at Teacher Zhang thoughtfully.

Wu Peng just scratched his head, a little puzzled:
"Teacher Zhang, what's the problem?"

Zhang Guimei sighed inaudibly:

"Wu Peng, have you ever learned the term 'frog in the well'?"

Wu Peng nodded, he still had this level of education.

"These girls in the mountains are like frogs at the bottom of a well."

Zhang Guimei sighed:

"The sky they see is that it is useless for girls to read too many books. It is better to go out to work and earn money to build a house for the family. After the house is built, then get married and collect a betrothal gift for the family. These That’s where their whole lives are.”

"So, when they say they drop out of school voluntarily, it's not actually voluntary, but they think it's the only option."

"But, we all know that the sky is so vast, and there are countless possible options in life that these girls have never seen. But, not having seen them means they don't understand."

"So, when I see too much..."

As she spoke, Zhang Guimei showed infinite determination:
"...I made up my mind that I must set up a free high school for girls and send these girls out of the well!"

"I'm willing to give everything I have for this."

After the words fell, Wu Peng was in awe, feeling that his previous thoughts were too shallow.

Sun Wei, on the other hand, was moved and held Zhang Guimei's hand, quietly feeling the warmth from Teacher Zhang's body.

At this moment, she felt for the first time what female power was.

The director's eyes showed surprise and admiration.

Born in a rural area, he saw that when a family's financial resources are limited, girls are often the first to be sacrificed.

He also feels that this phenomenon is unfriendly to girls, but in the face of the general environment, he can only sigh and be unable to change it.

However, now there is such a person standing in front of him, trying hard to stretch out his hand and lift these girls up.

This figure is silent, but great!

At this moment, Teacher Zhang Guimei's figure gradually became majestic in his heart.

He also understood why Lin Feng brought their program team here.

Don’t some of you women’s rights activists like to talk?
Then let me show you what someone who truly protects women’s rights looks like!

Lin Feng, who silently supported Teacher Zhang, even though it was not the first time he heard Teacher Zhang talk about his original intention of founding this women's high school, hearing it again, he felt that his heart was filled with infinite respect.

The spring silkworm's silk will not be used up until it dies, and the wax torch will turn to ashes before the tears dry up——

Teacher Zhang is using his own life as a candle to illuminate the girls in this mountainous area!
At this moment, the viewers in the live broadcast room were already wiping away their tears.

"It turns out that Teacher Zhang established this girls' high school because of this. How great!"

“This is the real women’s rights activist, right?”

"Remove the question mark, Teacher Zhang Guimei is someone who considers women down to earth and fights for their rights!"

"Those girls who dropped out of school thought that dropping out of school was 'voluntary', but they didn't see that there were other choices in life. This kind of 'voluntary' was a denial and deprivation of their lives! When Teacher Zhang saw this, in fact It’s not difficult, but what’s difficult is that she actually founded this school on her own because of this, I admire her!”

"With tears in my eyes, after seeing the vast sky, choosing where you want to stay is a truly voluntary choice."

"I was born to be a mountain, not a stream. I want to be on the top of the mountains, overlooking the mediocre ravines. I was born to be a hero, not a mediocrity. I stand on the shoulders of great men and look down on humble cowards. This is to tell all girls, You are not born to pave the way for others, you also have the ability and qualifications to pursue the meaning of your own life!"

"I'm crying. Teacher Zhang established this school because he actually wants girls to read more. Through reading, they can see that there are more options in life, and through reading, they can change their own destiny." "Teacher Zhang has something in his heart. Love it! Admire it!”

"..."

While everyone was discussing, Zhang Guimei had already led everyone to the door of his office.

"Everyone, please come in."

She opened the door, and everyone saw that this office was extremely simple and plain.

There was a peeling and mottled desk with a calendar, thick notebooks, ballpoint pens, and an old but clean thermos on the tabletop.

It is not surprising that these things appear on the desks of teachers in mountainous areas.

Strangely, there is also a small white and blue speaker——

The kind used by vendors at fruit stalls.

When everyone was wondering why there was this thing, Zhang Guimei patted Lin Feng's hand that was supporting her:

"Lin Feng, please help me receive some guests. The time is coming, I have to go out and call some students."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Guimei smiled apologetically at everyone, picked up the speaker on the table and went out.

"Teacher Zhang, is this...?"

Liu Yong looked at Lin Feng and then pointed at Zhang Guimei's back, feeling a little confused.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and signaled Liu Yong to calm down:

"Teacher Zhang is busy being her 'Zhang Qishang'."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to a few plastic stools stacked in the corner against the wall, turned to Wu Peng and said:
"Wu Peng, move the stool, and we'll wait until Teacher Zhang is finished."

While talking, Lin Feng pulled out a few paper cups from the drawer with familiarity, picked up a thermos bottle, and poured hot water for everyone.

Liu Yong held the paper cup and said with a confused look:
"Teacher Lin, what's going on with 'Zhang Qisheng'?"

Wu Peng and Sun Wei also opened their eyes with curiosity. Isn't it disrespectful to give a teacher a nickname?

Why did Teacher Lin say Teacher Zhang's nickname so calmly?
Faced with everyone's doubts, Lin Feng explained unhurriedly:

"Because Teacher Zhang believes that there are seven important moments in a student's day——"

"Wake up, wash up, sing, eat, take a lunch break, go to bed, and have a good night."

"At these moments, she will definitely bring that little speaker with her to encourage and accompany the students."

"So, the classmates gave her the nickname 'Zhang Qihou'."

As he spoke, Lin Feng looked soft and had a smile on his face:

"It's almost time to eat, so of course Teacher Zhang is going to shout."

As soon as the words fell, everyone heard a ringing sound, followed by the noisy voices of children, and then the unique sound of a trumpet:
"Students, it's time to eat. Don't rush or crowd. Chew slowly and carefully."

"classmates……"

When this voice fell on the ears of the audience in the live broadcast room, they felt extremely kind and warm.

"As soon as Teacher Lin said 'Zhang Qishou', I knew it was a nickname. I was surprised at first that Teacher Lin respected Teacher Zhang so much, so why did he call her the teacher's nickname carelessly? Now I understand."

"Zhang Qihou, Zhang Qihou, what a warm and appropriate nickname!"

"Where is the 'Seven Shouting' here? This is care for the students!"

"I don't know why, but there is a scene in my mind of Teacher Zhang patrolling the dormitory building at night, saying 'good night' to the students one by one. Is this the teacher? This is obviously Zhang's mother!"

"These seven shouts actually mean sleeping well, eating well, studying well, and living well! Teacher Zhang, you have good intentions!"

"Touched! Teacher Zhang takes care of these students as if they were his own children."

“The more I get to know Teacher Zhang, the more deeply moved I become!”

"..."

Outside the live broadcast room, Liu Yong also looked moved:

"Teacher Lin, listening to your explanation, where is this 'Zhang Qishang'? She is obviously a mother!"

Lin Feng nodded slightly and responded:

"Teacher Zhang was widowed in her early years and had no children. These students are her children, her lifeblood."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Liu Yong suddenly didn't know what to say.

Did it turn out that Teacher Zhang’s life experience was so rough?
Lin Feng looked at Liu Yong who was suddenly speechless and smiled slightly:
"There is no need to pity Teacher Zhang, because she has transcended worldly values. In her eyes, she is happier than most people in the world."

After hearing this, Liu Yong smiled ashamedly:
"It's me who is narrow-minded."

Sun Wei and Wu Peng listened to their conversation, and felt silent touches and admiration in their hearts.

After a long time, Sun Wei chuckled and said with emotion:
"In the past, when I saw the irrational remarks of those women's rights activists, I thought I was sober and rational, and would not go along with them. But now when I see Teacher Zhang, I realize that I have a kind of arrogance and ignorance. .”

"On the one hand, it's because I watched with a cold eye. On the other hand, I saw the bigger world, but I didn't understand that not everyone has the same conditions as me."

"Teacher Zhang is a true defender of women's rights!"

Lin Feng suddenly heard Sun Wei's words, looked at her with admiration, and said:
"It's okay, Sun Wei, don't you see another possibility and way of life for women now? As long as you can still reflect, there will be progress one day."

After hearing this, Sun Wei and Lin Feng looked at each other and smiled.

Wu Peng sipped the water from the cup, feeling a little distressed.

Teacher Lin and Sun Wei were talking about something they didn't understand, but it was hard to ask.

At this moment, the door of the office was pushed open.

Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was Zhang Guimei who came back with a trumpet and said to everyone with a smile:

"Sorry for neglecting everyone. I have arranged meals in the cafeteria. Let's go eat."

Sun Wei and Wu Peng touched Kong Kong's belly, smiled, and stepped forward one after another to help Teacher Zhang.

Everyone walked outside. During this period, Zhang Guimei never put down the speaker in her hand.

After leaving the door and arriving at the cafeteria, I saw that the students were already carrying plates and sitting in their seats to eat in an orderly manner.

Everyone ate very simply, nothing more than radish, cabbage, tofu, and pickles.

But every student ate with gusto.

As for what Teacher Zhang said, the meals she arranged only left one table empty, with the same plates as the students. All the dishes were the same, and there was no special treatment.

After a few people sat down, Lin Feng glanced around the canteen, sighed slightly and asked:

"Teacher Zhang, how many times a week do the children eat meat dishes now?"

"Eat meat three times a week."

When talking about this topic, Zhang Guimei's expression showed distress and helplessness:
"I'm sorry, we don't have meat dishes for dinner today. The reception was not good enough. Now the school's funds are tight, so we can only save money again and again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Peng, who originally disliked the lunch dishes, suddenly felt ashamed.

You know, even in Xiangzhang Village, Uncle Lin and Teacher Lin never broke their own and Sun Wei's eggs.

He thought the conditions were poor, but he didn't expect that the food of the sisters studying here was even worse.

Sun Wei, on the other hand, glanced at the sisters in the cafeteria with some distress.

She has long known that the conditions she has are beyond the reach of most people in the world, and she has also seen the poverty in Xiangzhang Village. However, the living conditions of Huapin Girls High School and the situation of these sisters are still Beyond her imagination.

Director Liu Yong looked at the meal in front of him. This could be said to be the worst reception meal he had ever seen in his life.

However, when I heard the conversation between Teacher Lin and Teacher Zhang, I didn’t feel disgusted, only felt sorry for the students and admired Teacher Zhang.

Under such poor conditions, he still insisted on running schools for free and supporting girls who could not afford to study in the mountains. Apart from greatness, he could not find another adjective.

At the same time, the audience in the live broadcast room was silent for a moment.

"Teacher Zhang just said that she had arranged lunch. I thought there was a private room upstairs."

"Yeah, I was surprised when I saw the teacher and the students in the same cafeteria from a distance. When I saw their food, I suddenly couldn't find anything to say."

"I only eat meat dishes three times a week. It seems that the school's funds are indeed very tight!"

"It's heartbreaking to see!"

"..."

At this moment, Sun Wei came back to her senses and said with a somewhat complicated expression:
"Teacher Zhang, it's really difficult for you."

Zhang Guimei shook her head gently:

"Nothing is difficult for me. What's not easy is these girls in the mountains."

"Huapin Girls' High School has limited conditions and cannot admit all the girls who have dropped out of school. I just thought, if I can save money, I can save as many as I can."

Wu Peng listened with some emotion:
"Teacher Zhang, does it mean so much to bring one or two more?"

Zhang Guimei gently patted Wu Peng's head and said:
"You don't know this. A girl's education can change the destiny of three generations!"

"what?"

Wu Peng asked in surprise:

"A girl studying can actually change the destiny of three generations? Which three generations?"

Zhang Guimei stretched out her plastered fingers and counted carefully:

"Herself, his parents, and her children, do you think they are three generations?"

Wu Peng nodded, and Zhang Guimei sighed with emotion:
"When I think that through my savings in this school, I can have one more girl and change the fate of herself, her parents, and her children, three generations, I can swallow any food."

"The lack of food is only temporary. The impact of a girl's education is long-term."
