Zhang Juncheng: The Struggle and Dream of a Peking University Security Guard

  introduction
  Zhang Juncheng wanted to go out to work, but his mother didn’t agree. He grinded his mother for two years and finally got permission. When he went to Beijing, he left a message to his mother, "I won’t come back until I make a name for myself." However, in more than two months, this sentence was countered by my mother.
  Many years later, when this matter was mentioned, Zhang Jun Cheng said that although it seemed like a very bad thing at that time, looking back now, stumbling blocks can actually be turned into stepping stones, depending on what kind of mentality to face.
  
Professor Cao of the English Department sent a free lecture card: "I don’t want you to be moved, I want you to act."
  Zhang Juncheng clearly remembers that he had just been a security guard at Peking University for more than two months. One day, he stopped several people who insisted on visiting Peking University. He even gesticulated and saluted to dissuade him, but the other party could not speak Chinese, did not understand what he meant, and his face was full of dissatisfaction. They stood neatly across the street, lined up and gave him a thumbs-up sign. At first, Zhang Juncheng was a little puzzled. Did foreigners praise him for his duty? Then, the opposite row of thumbs fell off in order, and then look at people’s expressions, Zhang Juncheng understood.
  There is a lot of injustice in the security post, but this time it is different, which is obviously an insult. He went back to the security room, threw off his hat and belt, and called his mother in his hometown: "Mom, I quit. I want to go home. I was born to farm." Knowing what happened, my mother asked, "Did you make a name for yourself?" Mother hung up the phone before he could answer.
  When I called back for the first time, I was embarrassed by my mother. The security guard on one side enlightened him. "It’s not easy to come out of the countryside. You will encounter any situation when you are a security guard at Peking University. Today’s things are not entirely your fault …" Dressed again, Zhang Juncheng returned to his post and continued his work.
  He bought two English books after work.
  You can’t watch on the day shift, but Zhang Jun pondered over the night shift. His basic knowledge of English is what he learned in junior high school in the village. He doesn’t know any tense or grammar, but dares to read English books when no one is around at night. One night, a female teacher asked him curiously what he was doing. "Aunt, I am reading English." Zhang Juncheng’s answer surprised and moved the teacher: "It’s a good thing to be eager to learn, but I heard you read it these days and thought you were speaking German. If you say this, it will drive foreign people crazy. "
  The teacher wrote down his name.
  Zhang Juncheng didn’t take this matter to heart, but he remembered the teacher. Whenever he met him, he said hello. The teacher once asked him what he learned every day. A: At three o’clock at night.
  More than a month later, the female teacher called the security room and asked for Xiao Zhang.
  "Which Xiao Zhang?" The person who answered the phone was at a loss.
  "It is to torture my Xiao Zhang with’ German’ every day and let him go to the English Department." It turns out that this teacher is Cao Yan, a professor of English at Peking University.
  Professor Cao took out two listening cards, the blue one was trained before GRE, and the white one was from the adult college entrance examination training class.
  When Zhang Juncheng saw it, he panicked. He couldn’t understand the English class at the university.
  Professor Cao said that you can selectively take basic courses such as Xu Guozhang English and New Concept English. Those who have English and Chinese can also ask teachers if they don’t understand.
  He still didn’t dare to answer: "Teacher, let me tell you the truth, I earn more than 200 yuan a month, and I have seven brothers and sisters. I have to send money to my family every month, so I really can’t afford the tuition."
  Professor Cao said it was free …
  "I’ve been out for two or three months, and my mother doesn’t care so much about me. I must study hard …" Zhang Juncheng was incoherent.
  Professor Cao said, "Auntie, you want to learn. You have done a lot of good things in Peking University. As we all know, learning is also to serve Peking University better. You can talk to foreigners. Don’t cry …"
  Professor Cao also introduced the methods of study or further study available at Peking University at that time, including self-taught examination and adult college entrance examination. Zhang Juncheng keeps a word in mind.
  It took him fifteen minutes to walk back after three minutes’ running. The tuition fees of these two English training classes are several thousand yuan. He repeatedly looked at the attendance card along the way. Professor Cao not only found his photo posted from the school health security team, but also greeted the leaders of the security team, asking them to consider his class time when scheduling, and introduced his situation to the training class teacher.
  Professor Cao’s words rolled around in his heart: "I don’t want you to be moved, I want you to act."
  At the same time, I have to take classes to learn English. The Peking University Security Team has no precedent.
  There is a conflict between the shift schedule and the time of class, so changing clothes has become a barrier. Wearing a security suit in class, he was worried about being looked down upon, so every time he went to the classroom, he would put on casual clothes, and when he handed over his post, he sprinted back to the dormitory and put on a security suit. On one occasion, he just changed his security uniform and stood on the post. When he saw his classmates face to face, he was in a complicated mood and pretended not to know them.
  After a long time, some students directly asked him what was going on. "How can you be so fast? You were in front of me just now."
  He replied, I can’t help it, I have to make money.
  The classmate said, "You are amazing!" From then on, he tried not to change clothes in class. From the eyes of his classmates, he saw admiration and encouragement.
  The most difficult barrier to overcome is that he can’t understand the class. He asks his classmates, teachers, makes up notes and practices listening. He often apologizes to the teacher: "Am I the dumbest student you have ever taught?" The teacher said, "It doesn’t matter, I can give you extra meals."
  
Professor Zhang from the Department of Western Languages invites him for a walk every day: the unnamed lake talks about philosophy and politics.
  After learning from Professor Cao that he can go to Peking University through adult college entrance examination or self-taught examination, Zhang Jun’s achievements began to exert strength. Analyzing the recruitment majors of adult education and self-taught examination in Peking University, science is unrealistic and liberal arts is limited, so he chose the law of adult college entrance examination. At that time, there were only four months left before the adult college entrance examination.
  With the foundation of his rural junior high school culture, it is difficult to complete the review of English, Chinese, mathematics, politics, history and geography. He carefully found the captain. "If you want to study, you have to set an example as a monitor. You can only work harder." He applied for the night shift during the preparation stage, and worked 24 hours a day without rest on Saturday and Sunday. Later, the captain and his teammates felt sorry for him, and the weekend did not let him go to the full post.
  During that time, he only slept for three or four hours every day, except for the standing time, he studied with books, a thick series of adult college entrance examination counseling books, texts and exercises, and learned and brushed the questions by himself. Before attending the English tutoring class, he will preview it two or three times and draw out what he doesn’t understand. Some of them can be solved during the class, and some of them don’t understand and ask after class.
  Seeing that Zhang Juncheng worked hard to prepare for the exam, watching him salute and say hello to more and more teachers and students who came in and out of the school gate, the security guards also signed up for the adult college entrance examination one after another. First, there were three people in Ximenggang, and then there were more than ten people, as well as those who recited English, read books and kept diaries. The learning atmosphere in the school guard became stronger and stronger. 10 o’clock is the time to turn off the lights, but there are always security guards lying in bed reading with flashlights. Captain Wang Guiming simply opened the conference room of the school guard, and the time to close the door and turn off the lights was delayed until late at night.
  His hard-working figure is well-known not only in the guards of Peking University, but also in the eyes of teachers and classmates.
  Zhang Yushu, a professor from the Department of Western Languages, made an appointment with him, and walked in the Weiming Lake at sunset every day for half an hour or an hour, which lasted for nearly a year. Professor Zhang has a passion for philosophy. On the unnamed lake, there is the breeze, the fragrance of flowers and the light of the sunset. He talks about Marx, Nietzsche, Hegel and Schopenhauer, about Chinese and Western philosophy and politics, and about the law of dialectical unity of opposites, qualitative change and quantitative change, and negation of negation. In his mouth, the willow leaves on the lake can be said to fall into the water. It was the happiest moment of Zhang Juncheng’s day, and it became the best time of his life. What he learned benefited him all his life.
  Professor Zhang is a doctoral supervisor. Why do you care so much about a security guard? Zhang Juncheng was very strange, so he asked his wife Professor Dai Shumei when he had the chance. Professor Dai replied, "You are stupid, sir. Let yourself realize."
  Later, Professor Dai told Zhang Juncheng: "Philosophy makes people smart. What the teacher told you is to open your mind. Life is long, and it is good for you to look at some problems dialectically."
  The results of adult college entrance examination have been announced. Zhang Juncheng had a low starting point and his grades were a little poor, but his teammates who were inspired by him passed the exam that year. I don’t know whether the philosophical thinking of the unnamed lake has had an effect, or whether the score has exceeded his target line. He wrote in his diary: "It’s really not a taste in my heart, but I have a score in my heart. I believe that as long as I work hard, I will definitely have my place in junior college."
  
It is too difficult to coordinate study and work. He has seen Peking University at every time.
  People in Peking University, are you still worried about studying?
  Zhang Jun has long understood clearly that the law department of Peking University has taken the self-taught examination and passed all 13 specialized courses, so you can get a junior college diploma.
  Professor Zhang Xuecheng from the Department of Oriental Languages learned that he was going to take the self-taught examination in the law department of Peking University, so he helped him to contact the law teacher, and he was allowed to attend the classroom.
  He went to take classes and stood at the door asking for instructions: "Hello, teacher, I’m Ximen security guard, and I want to take the law exam." The teacher said, "Come in and listen together." Sometimes, the teacher asked him specially, "If there is anything difficult to understand, I will answer it for you."
  He knows that he can only repay the teachers’ expectations with his grades, and only by being loyal to his duties can he better serve the teachers and students of Peking University. However, it is really too difficult to coordinate study and work. Ximen has a large flow of people and heavy work tasks, so it is impossible to read books when standing guard. There is a phone call or registration every two or three minutes when you register, so it is impossible to concentrate on books. Even after work, you have to be diligent in the dormitory, and there are often tasks such as carrying and guarding activities to reinforce. Therefore, he can only pay several times more efforts than ordinary people, or squeeze time from the night, and he can only sleep for three or four hours a day on average. He said, habit becomes nature. As long as you persist, there is nothing you can’t overcome. Twenty-four hours a day, he has seen Peking University at every time.
  For three years, Zhang Juncheng kept a thick professional book, holding a Xinhua dictionary, an English dictionary and a code, gnawing down a little bit of difficult and uncommon words, literal meaning and legal meaning, first understanding them by himself, and then explaining them to the teacher. At that time, he took the self-taught exam once a year in April and once in October, and he would pass every exam.
  In 1998, Zhang Juncheng finally got the diploma of self-taught law major in Peking University. Driven by him, there were more than a dozen security guards studying for self-study or adult college entrance examination.
  
Everything he took with him when he left Peking University was heavy.
  In June, 1999, when the lotus in Longrun Garden opened, Zhang Juncheng bid farewell to Peking University. At that time, he was newly married for half a year, and his wife in Changzhi was just pregnant, hoping that he would return to his hometown.
  Before leaving, Zhang Juncheng came to Zhang Yushu, Zhang Xuecheng and Professor Cao Yan’s home one by one. In the past five years, Zhang Juncheng didn’t know how to thank and repay these teachers. In his mind, teachers are like reborn parents. All he can do is to salute anyone who goes in or out of the west gate at once.
  He firmly remembered the exhortations and encouragement of the professors.
  Professor Zhang Yushu said, stick to the style of work in Peking University and work hard to create a career in the local area. Do what you like and what you can do.
  Professor Dai Shumei told him that it is very important to take good care of his wife when he goes back, what to do, and positioning. He can’t fish for three days and dry the net for two days. The couple specially gave him a handicraft that symbolizes "having a baby early".
  Professor Zhang Xuecheng said that in the future, he would need professional courses or other consultations from Peking University law teachers, and he would help arrange them. Professor Zhang’s wife presented him with a newly published set of Peking University Centennial Stamp Album. "Xiao Zhang, we can’t go to Changzhi, but I hope you will come to see us often, and I hope you will come to see us with your achievements. This stamp album is for you. When you are unhappy, look at it. You are everywhere on the stamp, and you have a deep memory. Think about how hard you worked here at that time. It can bring you strength … "This album has always been with Zhang Juncheng. As the teacher said, when you open it, you will see strength and hope, whether you are depressed or proud.
  When he entered Peking University, he was a mountain village child who graduated from junior high school, carrying a small bag and carrying a dream.
  When he left Peking University, he took the blessings of his teachers and teammates, the diploma of Peking University’s self-taught law college, and three sacks of books, all of which were heavy.
  Zhang Jun Cheng said that without these, there would be no today of his own. They record his past and, more importantly, carry hope and future.
 
  Zhang juncheng: preaching and teaching, solving doubts and not forgetting the spirit of Peking university
  introduction
  When Zhang Juncheng returned to Changzhi at the age of 24, he happened to be recruited by a vocational school, and he successfully entered the job. For more than 20 years, Zhang Juncheng has never left the podium for a day, from front-line teachers, to the director of the Political and Educational Affairs Department, to the vice principal, and then to jointly establish Changzhi Science and Technology Secondary Vocational School with four friends. He has taught thousands of students. It is worth mentioning that most of these students are rural children like Zhang Juncheng. Because of their poor families or poor grades, they finally found the direction of life by receiving vocational education.
  Zhang Juncheng smiled and counted his students one by one, and his words were full of happiness and pride.
  
Students in the past have become teachers today.
  In the middle of the interview, Zhang Juncheng called two young teachers in the school, one is Liu Jianbo and the other is Li Feng. It turns out that these two young teachers are copies of Zhang Juncheng, former students of Zhang Juncheng, and are like his father and son. Students used to call President Zhang "Dad", but now the students of these two teachers call them "Dad".
  Zhang Juncheng was very relieved that the students were handed over to them. The common language of their mentoring is that everyone is doing the same thing and doing a big project of teaching and educating people.
  Liu Jianbo is a computer teacher in Changzhi Science and Technology Secondary Vocational School. She is 26 years old. When he was 16 years old, he met Zhang Juncheng, who was the vice principal when he was studying in Changzhi Technical Secondary School. At that time, Zhang Juncheng also replaced the class teacher. "At that time, President Zhang would wear a suit and tie to give us lessons every day, thinking that he was handsome and rigorous. After getting along for a long time, we all like him very much. We think he is very kind and call him’ Dad’ in private. " Liu Jianbo told the Shanxi Evening News reporter.
  Liu Jianbo’s academic performance is good. He is the monitor and the president of the student union. I can’t tell when he started to "float". "At that time, I felt that I was awesome, and I felt a bit’ powerful’. My classmates’ attitude towards me has also changed, and they don’t listen to my monitor. Once there was a contradiction when dealing with class problems, President Zhang asked me to write a check every day, with no deadline and no requirements, and put it on his desk. " Liu Jianbo recalled that it was the biggest "gateway" in his life.
  Zhang Juncheng suspended the post of monitor of Liu Jianbo. "At that time, my psychological gap was particularly large, all the auras were gone, and my classmates were no longer around me. The students in other classes don’t know about it, and the work of the student union is still going on, so as soon as I get out of the class, I feel confident again. " Liu Jianbo said.
  I don’t know how long the inspection will take. From complaining at the beginning to self-reflection, Liu Jianbo finally understood the teacher’s good intentions, and his heart gradually calmed down, knowing what was wrong and how to correct it. On the 15th day, Zhang Juncheng made a speech: "All right, you write another copy of this inspection and post it at the back of the classroom." This matter has come to an end.
  Since then, Liu Jianbo has been steady and steady, his academic performance has steadily increased, and every task in the class will be done well.
  During the conversation, the reporter of Shanxi Evening News felt that Liu Jianbo was similar to Zhang Jun in many places, standing, sitting and wearing a watch. Zhang Jun Cheng said: "A teacher must have a strong sense of time. My watch is 10 minutes faster than others." Liu Jianbo said that his watch was also set five minutes fast, which was deeply influenced by Zhang Juncheng.
  When I was in school that year, I had to run morning exercises and study by myself every day. Zhang Juncheng was never absent. To be precise, he appeared earlier than the students every day. "Star Dai Yue said is him, at 5: 40 in the morning, he went to the morning study hall with us, and didn’t rest until one or two in the morning. We all admire him very much and are full of energy. "
  Li Feng was born in 1980s. He majored in law. More than ten years ago, he met Zhang Jun at Luzhou Law School in Changzhi City. "Now I remember what President Zhang said to us at that time,’ Strictness is love, and forgiveness is harm’. In 1999, I was 17 years old, and the second year of high school was the most difficult time for our class. A group of Xiong Haizi, who didn’t like studying, were naughty and couldn’t manage, and even left the former class teacher. Before leaving, the teacher said,’ It’s almost impossible to fill the ditch when you come to your class. Have you ever seen Taihang Mountain fill it?’ "Li Feng told Shanxi Evening News reporter, don’t blame the teacher, their class is really a headache.
  Zhang Juncheng came to school on a 28-bike and watched everyone listlessly rehearse in chorus. "I take the class, or improper first, or improper last, don’t stand in the middle, not fit. You choose, first or last? " After Zhang Juncheng’s remarks, the class was silent. As a result, everyone Qi Xin worked together to rehearse carefully. In the end, although he didn’t win the first place, he achieved good results that his class had never had since he entered the school.
  Li Feng used to be a "prickly head" in his class. He said that the students in technical secondary schools did not get satisfactory results in the senior high school entrance examination, and they had no extravagant hopes for going to college and were confused about the future. But Zhang Juncheng never sees it this way. He said that technical secondary school is not the end, but the starting point. He told the students to go to the university and know what the university is like, otherwise there will be shortcomings all their lives. After two years of "devil" training by Zhang Juncheng, Li Feng found the door of law and was admitted to a university in Dalian.
  Zhang Juncheng’s schools are all boarding schools, and students often have no money to eat at the end of the month. Both Li Feng and Liu Jianbo had such a situation. "One day it was time for dinner, and I was the only one lying in the dormitory. When President Zhang saw it, he asked why he didn’t eat. Knowing that there was no money, he pulled me up and went to the restaurant. Each person ate a bowl of noodles, and in a few minutes, a bowl of noodles bigger than his face was swallowed. President Zhang also gave me a lot of noodles in his bowl. The noodles that day were really delicious and really delicious. " Li Feng smiled here. The students shouted one by one, getting along for a long time, and the relationship was very close. Anyone who had no money turned to Zhang Juncheng for help.
  
Help students get out of trouble and find the direction of life
  During the more than 20 years since he left Peking University, Zhang Juncheng visited Peking University almost every year, visiting teammates and gentlemen who had helped him. He will bring Shangdang Xiaomi and mature vinegar, which gentlemen will gladly accept. Knowing that he works as a teacher, Professor Zhang Yushu said that teachers should first guide children ideologically, and then impart knowledge. Don’t copy the book, combine theory and law with life practice. And told him that he must not mislead the children, and tell the students about the courses he taught without understanding them thoroughly. This is misleading the children. If you don’t care about your students and make friends with them, it’s also misleading. There is a conflict between students and their children’s public and private affairs, and students are given priority, which is worthy of being a teacher … Now Professor Zhang Yushu has passed away, and he is a gentleman.
  By this year, Changzhi Science and Technology Secondary Vocational School has been established for five years, starting with one or two hundred students, and now there are more than 1,300 students, and the scale is basically saturated. There are more than a dozen majors in the school, among which aviation service, robotics, animation design and other majors have achieved joint education and customized education, and some majors are pursuing higher education. The vast majority of students studying here are rural children, laying the foundation for their further study in full-time undergraduate colleges and universities.
  A girl with excellent grades suffered a sudden change in her family. Her mother had already passed away and her father was gone. Zhang Jun took more than a dozen teachers from the school to help with the burial, and each teacher took the initiative to help her out of his own pocket. "I will give her a red envelope during the Chinese New Year holiday. I hope she will study hard and reassure her family. We should use education with temperature to repay the society. " Zhang Jun Cheng said that this girl was admitted to college this year, and she came back to visit the teachers as soon as she had a holiday.
  There are more than 100 poor students in the school, and it is common to reduce tuition fees or even reduce meals. Nothing can be an excuse for not studying. Without money to go to school, Zhang Jun paid for it himself; Poor academic performance, Zhang Juncheng accompanied him to study together; Family education is vacant, and Zhang Juncheng plays the role of father. The school provides children with job opportunities and grants to encourage them to master a skill.
  Shi Wenping, executive deputy secretary of Changzhi Science and Technology Secondary Vocational School, said that the school is a militarized management mode. Almost all of these children are failed in the senior high school entrance examination, and it is also a critical period of puberty growth. It is not easy to bring them up. Learning them is the hope of the family and the future of the country.
  A boy said to Zhang Jun Cheng, "Principal, I can do anything you want me to do, but don’t let me study." Hearing this, Zhang Juncheng is easy to handle. He took the boys to the front of the garbage dump and squatted down with him, saying that he would stay here for three hours first. The boy asked for another way, but Zhang Jun said yes. He asked to compete with the boys to pick up garbage, bottles, cartons, sundries, etc. with their bare hands, and each of them belonged to a pile to see who picked up more. After picking it up for a while, the boy said, "I’m going back to the classroom."
  To be kind to students, Zhang Juncheng’s rule for every class teacher is that students must be known first, so as to better guide them and make correct education. He asked every teacher to know sixteen things about his students, including their names, living habits, personality characteristics, hobbies, paths to school, and parents’ thoughts … Loving life like a child is not just talk, and "dad" is not called in vain.
  Because of Zhang Juncheng’s example, Li Feng and Liu Jianbo are both like this. Li Feng went to work for 7 years and only took a vacation. That was the night when the child had a high fever of 40℃. It’s useless to ask him for anything at home at ordinary times, so I can’t go back. His wife said, "You have 36 children, but I have only one child." At that time, Li Feng learned that the child had a high fever, lived in other places, and it took more than three hours to drive. Li Feng called Zhang Juncheng. Zhang Juncheng didn’t say anything at the moment. Later he called back and told him that he had arranged for a teacher with a car to drive him back. Unexpectedly, the car broke down again. Zhang Jun called all the teachers who had cars that night. Li Feng didn’t sleep all night when he received the child and sent him to the hospital and then went home to take medicine. The next day, before the child’s temperature dropped to normal, Li Feng returned to school. He said that there are lovers and mothers at home, and the 36 students in the school are only himself.
  
The spirit of the teacher shines.
  "When President Zhang first came to school, he was very special, unlike the locals. His body is straight, he is carrying a small bag, and his hair is smooth. Later, I learned that he came back from Peking University, and suddenly realized, I thought at the time, this is right. " Shi Wenping told the Shanxi Evening News reporter.
  Zhang Juncheng laughed when he heard it, saying that he was from Changzhi, so how could he be different? He said: "I came back not only because my family is here, but also because I want to make my own contribution to the education in my hometown." Compared with the care and kindness of Peking University teacher to my little security guard, I am really too small. " When working as a security guard at Peking University, the principal and professor all gave a heavy kindness. "The teacher’s seemingly small actions have made my life. I am a living example, knowledge changes fate. Therefore, I must pass on the educational concept of Peking University to more people, so I choose to return to my hometown to engage in education. "
  "I pay special attention to students who can’t read books. I can’t do it without reading. At least I can’t do it when I see it. I want to copy the selfless dedication of Peking University teachers to myself, which should also be what professors want to see. " Zhang Jun said.
