No.386 From Hair to White Hair, he illuminates the road of dreams for Shanliwa.

Cctv news "The cause of flowers is noble, and the cause of fruits is sweet. Let me do the cause of leaves, because the cause of leaves is ordinary and humble." This is Hugo’s words quoted by Cao Zhengyun, and it is also a portrayal of his 40-year teaching career.

In 1967, he came from Beijing to Pingshun to jump the queue, which made his home here. In 1976, he became a teacher in Pingshun Middle School. In 40 years, he gave up the opportunity to return to Beijing, stuck to this barren and simple land, and devoted all his youth to this beautiful county, from black-haired youth to white-haired old man, just for the dream of Yuanshanliwa flying out of the mountains.

At that time, how difficult it was for Shanliwa to enter the university! When sixty pairs of intense eyes stared at him from the audience, Cao Zhengyun clearly read that it was a desire to get out of the mountains, a trust entrusted by future and happiness. That year, the whole class he took got good grades: student Chen Chunxi missed Peking University by 2 points and was admitted to Beihang University. The number of students in the whole class who reached the second line doubled compared with the previous year.

In September 2004, Cao Zhengyun, who served as the office director and Chinese teacher of Pingshun Middle School for more than 20 years, retired from the middle-level leadership position. The school continues to arrange for him to take the place of senior three, and the workload is even greater than that of young people. Cao Zhengyun, who is over 60 years old, is as energetic as ever, and his spirit is even better than that of that year, just as he discussed with students and classmates more than 30 years ago. His students were admitted to Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China Shiyou University, China Geo University, beijing university of chemical technology, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Yanshan University, Dalian Maritime University, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Guangdong Ocean University and other famous universities.

For decades, how many students Cao Zhengyun has taught, he can’t remember. Far away from the other side of the ocean, among the doctoral students of Stanford University, a famous American institution of higher learning, there are his carefully cultivated seedlings, and the students he personally instructed at the vast Gobi Desert missile launch base are vigorous …

Cao Zhengyun has no grandiloquence. He knows that Smooth lacks talents and needs talents. Smooth and poor, the government has difficulties, and schools have difficulties. Sharing worries for the party and relieving difficulties for the people, Communist party member should do its part.

There have been several schools that paid a lot of money to poach him, and even relatives, "San Gu Cao Lu", advised him to quit, but Cao Zhengyun declined gracefully. In his view, no matter how high the remuneration and thick the treatment are, they can’t compare with the sincere and simple greetings from all directions on Teacher’s Day.

Not moved by poverty or wealth, Cao Zhengyun stuck to a teacher’s pure initial heart for 40 years, burning himself and illuminating Shanliwa’s dream road. What he shows is the dedication and loftiness of a real teacher. Let’s say to him sincerely: Thank you!
