on the playground of shengli road primary school in wuling district, changde city, hunan province, the school sports meeting football match is in full swing. "quick, quick, pay attention to the left defense..." on the sidelines, physical education teacher mei yuqing loudly directed the football players on the field.
"'steady, fast and accurate' is my requirement for the school football team, and it is also what my platoon leader required of me when i was in the army." mei yuqing said in an interview on september 3.
from the military camp to the campus, from a "soldier" to a "soldier teacher", mei yuqing not only brought national defense education into the campus, but also continuously innovated in scientific experiments and physical education teaching, promoted the teaching reform of the new curriculum standards in physical education and science, and created high-quality classrooms.

in 1986, the 20-year-old mei yuqing joined the army and served at an air force meteorological observation station in tangshan, hebei. one day in 1987, he found that the thunderclouds were very thick and dense during his daily duty. his strong professionalism made him realize that the situation was urgent - if a fighter plane encountered a thundercloud, it would probably be destroyed and people would die.
he quickly sent the radar information to the field, and the field quickly organized the eight fighters that had already set off to return and successfully avoided the thunderstorm cloud. in 1988, mei yuqing stood out from hundreds of applicants and was selected as a cloud and fog elimination experimenter at the field station. he boarded the "yun-5" aircraft and flew through the clouds and fog. although it was dangerous, he felt "very fulfilled."

it was that military experience that cultivated mei yuqing's decisive character and quick response ability. with his unyielding spirit and outstanding military training results, he was promoted to squad leader the following year. in 1989, he joined the communist party of china and received three military commendations.
mei yuqing retired from active service in 1990. as a former "troop leader", how to lead "student soldiers" in school became the question that mei yuqing thought about most after he became a teacher.
mei yuqing noticed that the school held a flag-raising ceremony every monday, but the ceremony was relatively simple, so he decided to set up a flag-raising class: "raising the national flag is not only a ceremony, but also a spiritual inheritance. through the flag-raising ceremony, students can draw strength from it and inspire patriotic feelings."
in april 2005, the national flag guard of honor that mei yuqing had "secretly trained" for more than three months made a stunning appearance, not only amazed all the teachers and students in the school, but also quickly became "popular" in primary and secondary schools in wuling district, prompting other schools to follow suit.
in order to create a high-quality science classroom, mei yuqing built an independent research platform in accordance with the requirements of the new science curriculum standards and combined it with the textbooks to enable students to gain greater development space in a relaxed environment.
when teaching "the pros and cons of friction", in order to improve students' learning efficiency, he divided students into different groups, allowing students to find the fun of learning under the "soldiers helping soldiers" teaching model.
why do shoe soles have uneven patterns? why do we add lubricants between machine parts? why do we sprinkle sand or salt on the ground when it freezes in winter? mei yuqing guides students to discuss daily life phenomena in groups and guides their thinking. in this way, students not only understand the key and difficult contents in the textbook, but also activate their curiosity and desire to observe life.
providing students with knowledge on drowning prevention, organizing fire safety drills for students, delivering teaching materials to children in need... "soldier teacher" mei yuqing has been silently contributing for 34 years. he appears wherever there is a need. he has been awarded by the government four times, written more than 10 papers and won district-level awards, made teaching aids and won municipal awards, and won the title of "excellent communist party member" at the district level many times...
under the scorching sun and in the cold winter, "soldier teacher" mei yuqing sticks to his post day after day, year after year, teaching without getting tired and pursuing his goals diligently.
