Well start the first lesson of ideological and political education | School begins ②, salute the heroes in the rainstorm, and look for precious old files
Today, I want to share with you the history of Gezhi Middle School's establishment of the first youth league organization in the Shanghai high school education community during the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China... Today is the first day of the new semester, and Gezhi Middle School's unique first lesson is about to begin. The story is told by Zhang Yaojun, Deputy Director of the Utilization Service Department of the Shanghai Archives and "Red Road Lecturer", and Yu Yunfei, a history teacher at Gezhi Middle School. They bring the story of the establishment of the first youth league organization in the middle school education sector in Shanghai.
This sharing originated from a joint search between Gezhi Middle School and the Shanghai Municipal Archives: Gezhi Middle School is about to celebrate its 150th anniversary. With the assistance of the Municipal Archives in the early stage, after reviewing the school's history, researching historical materials, searching for archives, and other efforts, the precious old file "Gezhi Middle School's Summary Report on the Establishment of the Communist Youth League from September to November 1949" was finally found. This report was written in late September 1949 and consists of 16 pages. It provides a detailed record of the process of building the Youth League at Gezhi Middle School, analyzes the problems encountered and corresponding countermeasures, and summarizes the relevant experiences and gains in the special historical background. After careful restoration by the expert team of the Municipal Archives, this old archive has been able to meet with teachers and students in this new semester, becoming the "first lesson" for Gezhi students to enter the campus and understand the century old school history. After the exciting "Double Teacher" course, this replica of the old archives will be officially left at Gezhi Middle School and displayed in the school history museum, becoming one of the precious historical materials of the school.
In the first lesson, representatives of teachers and students from Gezhi Middle School will also perform the archival drama "26 Years of Mountains and Seas". The drama combines archival visuals with stage performances to showcase the academic journey of teachers and students at Gezhi Middle School from 1997 to the present in the Dabie Mountains, paying tribute to their predecessors and continuing the history of Gezhi School.
The first lesson of today's school year will feature the theme of "Red in the New Era" at Shicun Primary School in Changning District. The students of Class 4 will talk about their summer team activities while taking everyone through the screen to enter the Qian Xuesen Library and get to know Qian Xuesen. The Qian Xuesen Library collects and preserves precious literature, manuscripts, photos, and physical objects, fully showcasing his scientific achievements, noble character, and patriotism. Through visiting, not only will we gain a deeper understanding, but we also sincerely admire and are determined to work harder in our future studies. In the near future, we will also contribute our efforts to the development of our country.
During the summer vacation, China was hit by rainstorm in many places. In front of the disaster, moving pictures and moving stories witnessed the strength of China. To salute the heroes in the rainstorm... The moving recitation of the fifth grade students made everyone respect the heroes. "I will bring this emotion into life, gathering the courage and determination to overcome difficulties time and time again," said the friends.
At Wuning Road Experimental Primary School in Jiading District, with the theme of "the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, and the sound of sound entering the ear, a new journey", the first lesson with educational significance was opened. From late July to early August, extreme rainfall occurred in many areas due to the impact of Typhoon Dussuri. Zhuozhou, Hebei Province, as a major hub for publishing industry warehouses and logistics in China, suffered heavy losses. Sun Naxin, the special principal of Wuning Road Experimental Primary School, gave 27 special gifts to 27 classes in the school - "refueling bags" for children's books in the Zhuozhou Library. These books are various children's books urgently rescued from local libraries, packaged in blind boxes for children's books, hoping to reduce losses.
The first lesson of today's school will be based on "books" as a clue. Just before the start of the school year, the school issued a "Creative Recommendation Book" solicitation order to all students, inviting them to recommend their favorite summer book in a unique and creative way. The small "creative book recommender" will lead the entire school's teachers and students through the long river of history, wandering through exciting stories through each book. Sun Naxin said that books are a carrier of human civilization and wisdom. He hopes that children can read more and read good books. On campus, not only should the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, be heard, but also cultivate children's sense of responsibility to "care about family, country, and the world". With enthusiasm for reading and concern for society, we can start a new semester together.
