Chapter 860 Let Me Teach Them (Two in One)

"open……"

As soon as He Cancan raised his hand to speak, he didn't know how to continue, and got stuck on the address.

Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "You can call me Zhang Zhong, you can also call me Uncle Zhang, or Teacher Zhang."

"Mr. Zhang, I want to ask if there is a way to improve memory." He Cancan asked.

Zhang Zhong asked curiously, "Why do you ask this question? Because you can't keep up in class?"

He Cancan shook his head and said, "No, there are many books that I forgot the contents of in a short time after I read them, and sometimes I couldn't even remember the plots in them. I watched Teacher Zhang on TV and you didn't need a script to speak. Yes, everyone says you have a good memory."

Hearing He Cancan's words, Zhang Zhong laughed.

He does have a good memory, but he didn't use it much when he gave speeches or acceptance speeches on stage, and most of the time he just played it casually.

If he performed very well, it has nothing to do with his memory, but that he is already familiar with such occasions and can organize what he wants to say at any time.

As for He Cancan's question...

"Actually, don't worry. As I said just now, good books don't require deep understanding. There is no need to demand that you can memorize all the contents of the book after reading it once. I believe that in this world, except for very few people can do it." Besides, most of the others will soon forget after reading it once. You have to remember that you are reading a book, not memorizing it.”

Zhang Zhong didn't say that intentionally to comfort He Cancan, but it was the fact.

Most people in the world read books like Zhang Zhong said, they forget about them after a short time, and sometimes they forget the latter after reading the first part.

For example, before Zhang Zhong traveled, his memory was the same as that of ordinary people, and he would always forget when reading.

Especially read some long masterpieces, such as "Dream of Red Mansions" such as "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

When I was watching "Dream of Red Mansions", I could forget the previous things after reading a few chapters, sometimes even the general plot, let alone the poems in it.

And this kind of novel, especially a novel whose language habits are different from the current writing, seems particularly tiring.

Because maybe I didn’t watch much after watching it for two or three hours, and when I think about watching it later, I need to start watching it from the beginning.

At that time, I went back and forth many times, and Zhang Zhong didn't remember the rest very clearly. He only remembered clearly "Jia Baoyu's first test of Yunyuqing, and Liu Laolao's first entry into Rongguo Mansion". (The version I read at the time said Laolao Liu)
On the one hand, when I read this book, I was young and full of vigor, and I was deeply impressed by the first test of cloud and rain; on the other hand, every time I read this book, it is time to put it down.

I waited until the next time I read it again, saw it again, let it go again, and went back and forth many times.

Besides, in the book "One Hundred Years of Solitude", the names of the people in it are really confusing. At that time, Zhang Zhong wanted to look for the relationship diagram on the Internet to compare.

In fact, there are many names in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and the relationship is more responsible, but because they are all Chinese names, it is easier to remember than the names and relationships in "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

But after looking into it later, I found that things like names are just floating clouds, so I don't need to worry about them at all, and it's not a detective novel, but I have to engage in reasoning.

It is said that Marquez himself talked about this issue. He said that the reason why he chose so many names was completely intentional. He hoped that readers would ignore those names and focus on the story itself.

It is not clear whether this legend is true or not, but if Marquez really thinks so, then his goal has been achieved.

At least Zhang Zhong didn't pay too much attention to the names when he read the book later.

Sometimes when he was reading a certain passage, he would just think: Oh, this thing happened to this man with this man, this thing happened to this woman with this woman, and this thing happened to this man with this woman again.

As for whether this man and that man are the same man, he doesn't even think about it.

So what he said to He Cancan came from his heart.

"However, wouldn't it be a waste of time to read it if you forget it?" He Cancan said.

Zhang Zhong smiled and shook his head, "It's not in vain. Everything you have seen will become a part of your body, and it exists in a place that you may not even be aware of. Maybe at a certain moment, when you don't realize it will pop out."

He Cancan and his children couldn't comprehend the deep meaning of this passage at all, but it didn't matter, as long as they knew that even the great writer Zhang Zhong said it, then it didn't matter if they forgot it when they read books.

"Of course, studying in class and reading extracurricular books should be separated. When studying, you have to ask for a deep understanding. You must listen carefully to the teacher's words and complete the task efficiently." Zhang Zhong added.

They are all reading, but compulsory education and reading extracurricular books are not the same thing.

One is reading, which is to cultivate interest and cultivate sentiment, while the other is skill training.

"Yeah, we got it." Several children nodded.

Pengpeng also nodded beside him.

Zhang Chong looked around, everyone was standing, and they might be a little tired after a long time, so he said, "This is the end of our chat today, if we have a chance, we can chat together later."

"Mr. Zhang, can we write to you?" He Cancan said suddenly.

Zhang Zhong thought for a while and said, "Of course, but I may be busy and may not be able to reply to you, but I assure you that if I have time, I will reply to you."

Many people wrote letters to Zhang Chong. They used to send them to the Stirring Literature Magazine, but after Zhang Zhong had his own company, they always sent them to the company.

But Zhang Zhong rarely read those letters, because there were too many of them.

Before, Chen Qing also suggested that several special personnel could be sent to deal with the letters sent to Zhang Zhong, and pretend to be Zhang Zhong's identity to reply to fans.

This is a common thing. Many celebrities can't take care of themselves, and people in the company help to reply.

But Zhang Zhong didn't agree, he didn't need such a friendly persona.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang." He Cancan and the others said
"You're welcome." Zhang Zhong waved his hand, and then said, "Oh, by the way, in order to reward your good habit of reading, Mr. Zhang is going to give you some books. If you have any books you want to read, you can tell me. I'll give it to you later."

"We don't know either..."

The children glanced at each other, probably embarrassed to mention it.

"Okay, then I'll just watch and give it away. If you don't like the book I gave you, don't blame me." Zhang Zhong straightened up and said to Cai Xianming and the others, "Both leaders, President Wu, We have been staying in this library for a long time, let's look elsewhere, I also want to see what the ordinary classrooms of our school look like."

Wu Donglai walked to the front and said, "Mr. Zhang, please come to the two leaders."

Zhang Zhong and the others followed Wu Dong to the classroom next door.

After entering the classroom, Zhang Chong saw a decent blackboard newspaper at the back of the classroom, and said with a smile, "Principal Wu, this blackboard newspaper wasn't made just because we were coming, right?"

"No, no, our school has a blackboard competition, and every class has a blackboard, but the level of each class is different. The class we are in now is a third-grade class, and the blackboard of this class is still very good." Wu Donglai Said.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just joking. The blackboard competition is a great activity, which can discover the interests and talents of the students. Does the school have art and music classes?" Zhang Zhong asked again.

"There must be some of these. There are regulations on it. The school must set up these courses, and it also stipulates the class hours. It is impossible for us to violate the regulations." When it came to this, Wu Donglai said a little embarrassedly, "But we The school does not have a dedicated art teacher and music teacher, and these two courses are taken by other teachers."

"If there are other teachers who have a foundation in painting or music, it's okay to substitute for them." Zhang Zhong said.

"Actually, I can teach you some basic things." Li Qiuyun said while touching his head.

Seeing his performance, Zhang Zhong said in surprise, "You don't know how to be a part-time art and sports teacher, do you?"

Li Qiuyun nodded embarrassedly, "Well, I also learned to draw for a while before, so I can teach some basic things."

"It's good to be able to teach a little bit, children still can't lack these things." Zhang Zhong said.

This situation is very common in Anping No. [-] Primary School, and it is the case in many rural primary and secondary schools.

Originally, there were few art teachers. As the schools in the city pay more and more attention to art subjects, the art teachers who used to work in the countryside kept forgetting the cities and towns.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer art teachers in the countryside, and art courses in many schools can only be taught part-time by culture teachers.

Zhang Chong feels that art education is very important to students, even in rural elementary schools.

He doesn't think that these rural schools can produce any great artists, he just thinks that it is a wonderful thing for children to have some art to accompany them when they grow up, and it is very good for their physical and mental health.

Especially in elementary school, it is the golden moment for them to get in touch with these things.

To be more realistic, after they reach middle school, they are constantly stressed about their schoolwork, and they need to study hard for their own future, so how can they have any time to spend on these "unnecessary things".

Zhang Zhong was about to say something when he suddenly felt his clothes being pulled, turned his head and saw that Peng Peng was holding up his clothes with the other hand.

"What's the matter with you?" Zhang Zhong asked.

Peng Peng sneakily waved at Zhang Zhong, motioning him to listen.

Zhang Zhong rolled his eyes, but still bent over and brought his ears closer.

Pengpeng picked Zhang Zhong's ear and whispered, "Father, I can also draw. I can teach them how to draw."

Zhang Zhong glanced at his daughter, "You are still learning how to draw, but you are thinking about teaching others."

"I can teach others. Liu Minya usually teaches for me. Many students in Mengmu Xiaozhu are also taught by me. Teacher Xu said that I teach very well." Pengpeng still whispered.

Pengpeng's voice was indeed quite low, but Xu Yuhan who was next to her still heard it, and she said with a smile, "Pengpeng hasn't finished his art homework today."

When it comes to homework, Peng Peng immediately collapses.

"Well, not yet." Pengpeng said weakly.

"Then finish it here, and finish it with other children." Xu Yuhan said.

Zhang Zhong knew what Xu Yuhan meant, and turned to Wu Donglai and said, "It happens that Yuhan is an art teacher, and she can give lectures to the students, if any students are willing to listen."

"Of course they are willing to listen. If there are other classes, some people may not be willing. But this music, art and physical education class, there must be a lot of students who are willing to take it. How about it, I will arrange it now, and a classroom will be vacated in a while." Wu Dong Come and say it quickly.

"Yes." Zhang Zhong looked back at the eye-banner and said with a smile, "I'm wondering if I should teach the children a lesson as well."

Wu Donglai's eyes lit up, "Take a Chinese class?"

"No." Zhang Zhong shook his head, then pointed to the playground, "Physical education class."

……

In the end, Zhang Zhong did not give the children a physical education class, but he did watch a basketball game between elementary school students.

They are all children, so the level is naturally not very good, but the atmosphere on the scene is quite good.

It was mainly because Wu Donglai told them that they could get prizes for winning, so they were very motivated.

But later, both the winner and the loser got the prize, but the prize for the winner was a thick notebook, and the prize for the loser was a thin notebook.

The prize is simple, but the children who got the book are very happy.

Later, Xu Yuhan gave the children an art class, and the atmosphere in the class was quite good.

Because he only took this class, Xu Yuhan did not teach the children specific things, but picked up some interesting things and told them about them, the purpose is to make the children interested in art.

After one class ended, Li Qiuyun said distressedly, "After Mr. Xu has taken this class, it will be difficult for me to take art classes in the future."

"I think it may be better, the children are more motivated, and the teacher is much more relaxed." Zhang Zhong laughed.

"If I were a professional art teacher, the class would be much easier, but I'm not. With Teacher Xu in front of me, I don't know what to teach." Li Qiuyun looked at Peng Peng again, "Fortunately The students are not as good as Pengpeng, otherwise it would not be me who taught them, but they taught me, Pengpeng's paintings are really amazing."

Zhang Zhong patted the young male teacher on the shoulder, "Come on."

He has a good impression of young teachers like Li Qiuyun who are willing to go to the countryside to teach. These are the people that basic rural education in China needs.

But Zhang Zhong also hopes that one day the country's basic education will no longer need young teachers to generate electricity for love, and it will be able to operate well by itself.

Only in this way can long-term stability be achieved.
