Characters and deeds
Do good and help students
In August 1996, a family accident brought Zhang Guimei from Dali to Lijiang mountain area. Originally, she just wanted to forget the sadness of her lover's death, but she saw the innocent faces of poor children in the mountain area who were eager for knowledge. The instinct of love made the female teacher take root in the mountain area. In order to improve the children's living and learning conditions, she is frugal. Her daily living expenses are no more than 3 yuan, and every penny saved is spent on students. Zhang Guimei has donated more than 400000 yuan, and none of her students dropped out of school because of poverty.
In 2006, she donated all the 300000 yuan awarded by the Yunnan provincial government to a mountain primary school to rebuild the school. Since 2001, she volunteered to be the director of the "children's home" in Huaping County, Lijiang, and became the mother of 54 orphans. She devoted herself to teaching and ignored the pain; She sent the students to the high school entrance examination room before going to the hospital - doctors cut out a tumor more than 2kg from her abdomen. In 2007, Zhang Guimei became the representative of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. She told the public about her dream and aroused widespread concern,
In 2008, Huaping women's senior high school was established. It is the only free high school in China for girls from poor families. Since the establishment of the school 12 years ago, 1645 girls from Dashanli have entered the university to complete their studies and made contributions in all walks of life. At the time of Huaping girl Gao's success, Zhang Guimei's health went from bad to worse, suffering from more than 10 kinds of diseases. One morning, a Lisu boy couldn't get up and covered his head with a broken quilt. She asked patiently before the child said he had no money to eat. Zhang Guimei didn't think about anything and gave her only 20 yuan to her child. She said to the child, "you use it first, and I'll find a way." From then on, the little boy received 30 yuan of help from Zhang Guimei every week until he finished his junior high school.
Zhang Guimei's professional style has become a shining example and strong driving force for students to learn and grow.
Shoulder the heavy burden bravely
Zhang Guimei, a female teacher of Huaping ethnic middle school, was transferred from Dali to Huaping in August 1996. At that time, she gave up the chance to enter the best Huaping No.1 middle school, and chose the central middle school (at that time, the central middle school implemented the method of two teaching points in one school because there were no classrooms, 12 classes in Grade 1 and grade 2 of junior high school were in the original site of No.7 Middle School, and 8 classes in grade 3 of junior high school were in the original site of No.6 middle school).
After arriving at the central middle school, she took on the political teaching work of four graduating classes, worked as a female student in the graduating class, and assisted the school in literature and art work. Due to the limited class hours, she had to find other people's rest time to make up lessons, take exams, etc. She is the first to enter the classroom at 7 a.m. and the last to leave at 10 p.m. The weekend is also the most stressful time for Mr. Zhang. Some of the classrooms in her teaching class are in the front yard, some in the back yard, more than 100 meters apart. Every morning and evening, she always runs back and forth to tutor, insisting that every year is like a day. At the same time of doing a good job in teaching, she also used noon, afternoon, evening, in short, seize all the opportunities or all or individual to make up lessons for students, talk to each other. At the same time, actively organize students to participate in a variety of cultural and recreational activities.
In August 1997, Minzhong was set up separately. At that time, teacher Zhang, who was in hospital for surgery, learned that Minzhong middle school students were the poorest, the quality of students was the worst, and the funds were the most tight. When she saw that Minzhong middle school had the most dilapidated school buildings and the worst equipment, she asked to be transferred to Minzhong. He took the initiative to undertake the work of the head teacher of class 15 in the graduating class, including the teaching of Chinese and politics, as well as the women's work in the school, the discussion work of the Chinese teaching and research group and some school affairs work.
Love makes a son
Most of the students come from remote and poor mountainous areas, and their families are generally in difficulties. When winter came, the students were still wearing thin clothes. Mr. Zhang donated his own clothes, shoes, quilts and blankets for them, and also used his low salary to buy cold shelter clothes for poor students. Late one night in December 1997, a boy had a high fever. When Mr. Zhang learned about it, he rushed to the dormitory immediately. When she saw that the student was still covered with thin felt in winter, her heart was very heavy. With tears in her eyes, she immediately gave the only Memorial left by her husband when he died, the woolen coat, to the student. She also took the student to the hospital overnight and paid 580 yuan for the student. The next day, when the parents arrived at the hospital, Mr. Zhang was still waiting in front of the bed. At this time, she was pale and haggard. She had been waiting for the students for 10 hours, and the old man was moved to tears.
There is also a boy who is often worried about the lack of living expenses. His study declines rapidly and becomes the bottom of the class. He has lost confidence in his study and has asked to drop out of school several times. But only two months after graduation, how can it not be sad to see these children drop out of school in poor mountainous areas? As a result, Mr. Zhang gave the student 30 yuan a week from his salary to help him finish his junior high school studies. The students were very moved and their grades improved significantly.
In order to improve the life of students who can't go home for a long time, she invited 12 students to restaurants. Pig's hoof soup, double cooked meat, students eat very happy, can check out, all silly eyes: "Mr. Zhang, we do not know the price is so expensive." But she said, "as long as you study at ease, it's better than anything." In the one and a half years since she was transferred to Minzhong, she has subsidized 2500 yuan for students. Her students have never violated the rules and regulations of the school, and are the most disciplined class in the school.
Laughing sickness
In April 1997, he was found suffering from uterine fibroids, abdominal cavity rapid expansion, pain unbearable. She maximized her workload while taking painkillers. When she knew that her life was in danger, in the face of a merciless medical examination report (at that time, the hospital diagnosed cancer), she did not let anyone know, but silently endured the suffering of life and death in her body and mind. For a few months, colleagues often saw her step by step on the way to the classroom. She increased the amount of review for the students, and also increased her own workload. She persisted until July, after sending the students to the high school entrance examination room, she explained the situation to the leaders. She was admitted to a hospital in Kunming for surgical treatment. The uterus and tumor removed weighed more than 2kg.
After the operation, the doctor asked her to rest for at least half a year, but on the 24th day after the operation, she went back to work in Minzhong. Because the operation lost too much blood, the wound did not heal completely, huge pain afflicted her, but she still insisted on the platform.
In December 1997, due to overwork and relapse, leaders, colleagues and students repeatedly advised her to be hospitalized, but she refused. "My career is teaching, and my hope is students. I won't go first if I don't send them out of school," she said. During this period of time, her workload reached the limit. She worked more than 10 hours a day, and there were no Saturdays or Sundays. The rest time throughout the year was only three days for the Spring Festival. By March 1998, her condition had worsened. She was admitted to Huaping Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine for the true feelings of her leaders and colleagues. She still insists on working while treating. Every day, I went to the platform as soon as I pulled out the needle. I never lay down in the hospital for a day.
After less than a month, the doctor told her that the hospital could not control her condition and needed to transfer her to another hospital for treatment. In order to save the country's medical expenses, she decided to leave hospital. In order to graduate students, she refused to go to any hospital treatment, still stick to the post.
In September 1997, after being transferred to Minzhong school, the school leaders gave her strong support in work and meticulous care in life; Colleagues have imitated her, cared for her and took care of her. Teacher Zhang was moved to say: I have not made any contribution to the party and the people, but the party and the people have given me such deep love. Who said I had no home? My home is in Huaping, my relatives are in Huaping, my love is also in Huaping! In return for Huaping people's love for me, I would like to give my life for Huaping education to be brilliant again.
The results are beginning to show
When Mr. Zhang was transferred to Huaping as a teacher, it was just at the time when Huaping education began to rise after the decline and attracted much attention. The whole county people were discussing the same question: where is the way out for Huaping education? The Secretary of the county Party committee and the head of the county Party committee cried out many times at the meeting: "it's time to revitalize Huaping education." The austerity of reality, the anxiety of leaders and the voice of the masses have greatly affected Miss Zhang. She is determined to do her best for Huaping education. On the one hand, she introduced the advanced experience of other places to her colleagues; on the other hand, she took the lead in doing real work. Fortunately, through hard work, she has made a series of remarkable achievements.

On the March 8 women's day in 2000, she made a report on her deeds in four counties of Lijiang, and all those who attended the meeting were moved.
After she sent away class 15, she did not recover from the operation, and took over class 19 of the initial class on her own initiative, overcoming many difficulties of low quality of students. Through more than a year's efforts, the students appeared in front of us with a new face. In the final survey of the whole county in July 1999, the teaching subjects of Chinese and politics ranked first in the county.
