In Cuizhuang Village, an ancient town in Yuzhou City, where there are only 330 villagers, nearly 100 college students of various types have been trained in recent years. Among them, there are 21 students from national 985 and 211 universities, 9 master's and doctoral students, and 4 graduates from Tsinghua University and Peking University. It is not uncommon for brother and sister college students and brother and graduate students to become a well-known "doctor's village".
On October 14th, we came to Cuizhuang Village. In front of the most conspicuous "Outstanding Student List" at the entrance of the village department, several villagers carefully looked at the name of the "Champion Family". "This is the pride of our village!" Wang Heping, former director of the Yuzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture in his hometown of Cuizhuang Village, praised.
A small village on the plains, why can so many famous college students be admitted? Wang Ping'an, secretary of the party branch of Cuizhuang Village, said the password: "The people of my village are not better than eating and wearing, they are better than anyone else, and the whole village is cultural, and it has been like this for decades!" ”
The strong style of study has made it fashionable for the people in the village to teach their children to become talents. Whether the family is working, farming, doing business, or working, every family advocates culture and loves learning. If you open a supermarket in the village, you can write a good hand; Elementary school students who come back from school can draw flowers and plants at will.
The 83-year-old Wang Zhongquan served as a soldier and village party secretary when he was young, and became a famous local calligrapher after retiring from self-education. As soon as I entered his home, his calligraphy works were plastered on the door frames, courtyard walls, walls around the room, and even on the beams of the house. A new nanny who had only attended elementary school in his family also practiced calligraphy under his guidance. The upright regular script characters are amazing.
The holding of the "Farmers' Calligraphy and Painting Brush Meeting" is another innovation in the village to promote the improvement of the cultural level of the masses. At the second PEN Conference on October 2 this year, there were hundreds of calligraphy and painting enthusiasts who came to participate in the exhibition. Two primary school students from the village who rushed back from the city attracted a large number of onlookers with calligraphy written on the spot. "It's worthy of being a 'doctor's village', even elementary school students are extraordinary!"
The "two committees" of the village encourage and support the students to become talents with a clear orientation. In 2017, under the initiative of Wang Ping'an, the village established the "Golden Autumn Student and Teaching Assistance Award Fund", which has been ceremoniously commended for 8 consecutive years for outstanding students who were admitted to universities and graduate schools that year, so that learning, education, and success have become family style tutors passed down from generation to generation in every family.
Wang Changxi, a villager in Group 6, is a rural veterinarian and his wife has been farming for many years. Although the family conditions are average, they fully support the children's learning. In 1997, his eldest son Wang Shaohui was admitted to Peking University with the first place in science in Xuchang; The second son, Wang Shaofeng, was admitted to Chongqing University in 2002 and became the pride of the whole family.
A group of villagers, Wang Shuxian, works in welding repairs, and his wife is a farmer. When his sons were in secondary school, he took the brothers to work on construction sites to sharpen their will. In 2009, the eldest Wang Pengshuai was admitted to Tsinghua University (bachelor's, master's and doctoral studies), and is currently an associate professor and master's supervisor of the Wang Xuan Research Institute of Peking University, and won the Young Scholar Award of the Asian Graphics Society in 2023; His younger brother Wang Yameng was admitted to Capital Normal University in 2013 and is now studying at the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, becoming a model for students in the village.
The village pays more attention to helping families in need, ensuring that no student is left behind. In 2018, Wang Ge, who was in his third year of high school, suddenly suffered the blow of the death of his parents one after another, and suddenly fell into a desperate situation of not striving to study. Wang Ping'an took the lead in donating 5,000 yuan, and called on the villagers to donate 12,000 yuan to Wang Ge, regaining her confidence in learning. She was admitted to East China University of Technology that year and is currently studying for a master's degree at a university in Hangzhou. Every time he mentioned himself, Wang Ge was excited: "Without the support of the whole village, how could I be where I am today?" ”
Over the past decades, Cuizhuang Village has continued to emphasize education, culture, and family heirlooms, and has continued to write inspirational stories of knowledge changing destiny and reading to serve the motherland. "We must continue to create a good atmosphere of respecting teachers and valuing education and cultivating talents, insist on cultivating people with culture and morality, create a cultural village with strong characteristics, and create a tasteful 'five-star' branch!" Wang Ping'an said.
