four students were admitted to tsinghua university and peking university, two students were admitted as aviation pilots, and as many as 230 outstanding students scored 600 points... the 2024 college entrance examination, which was under the charge of li minjuan, deputy secretary of the party committee and senior chinese teacher of chenzhou no. 1 middle school, achieved remarkable results.

the peaches and plums do not speak, but the paths are drawn to them. in her 30-plus years of teaching, she has trained a large number of outstanding talents, including more than 20 students from tsinghua university and peking university. this year, she was awarded the title of "hunan province special teacher" and "hunan province female achievement model". a good teacher produces excellent students. what is teacher li minjuan's "secret"?

she makes high school chinese language classes "lively"

"i was particularly impressed by the first chinese class that teacher li taught us, because she recited many ancient poems right from the start. although she was reciting poems, she was actually talking about our lives. at that time, i thought to myself, 'wow, this female teacher is so talented!'" deng zhikang, a 2024 graduate, has been admitted to the hunan police college this year. on august 25, when talking about his impression of his high school chinese teacher li minjuan, he smiled and said that he was "conquered" by her in the first class.

li minjuan, 56 years old this year, graduated from the chinese department of xiangtan normal university. after graduation, she taught chinese at chenzhou no. 1 middle school. she has 33 years of teaching experience and is rich in chinese teaching. every class of students she has taught is impressed by her chinese class.

"what impressed me most was the class story sharing activity she organized." tian shizuo, a student from class 1824 of the 2021 class who was admitted to tsinghua university, said that teacher li minjuan launched a "class story sharing" activity in their class during the second year of high school. everyone had to record every detail of the class life for a day and share it with everyone at a fixed time on weekends. "this activity not only exercised the students' writing ability, but also created beautiful memories for our class. it also taught me to pay attention to every detail in life. the habit of paying attention to details helped me enter tsinghua university."

luo hongyu, a 2015 graduate, said that he both loved and hated li minjuan's chinese class. he said that he loved her passion for teaching and her unique teaching methods, but he hated her for summarizing many high-scoring techniques to help them cope with the exams. "at that time, i was young and frivolous and found it difficult to understand, and even felt a little disgusted. it was not until i used these techniques to expand my thinking in the college entrance examination and scored a high score of 131 in chinese that i realized the teacher's painstaking efforts."

"how to make high school chinese classes lively and vivid and stimulate children's interest in learning has always been my unremitting goal and direction in teaching." li minjuan said that over the years, she has made many attempts both inside and outside the classroom. in the classroom, she implements all-round and multi-angle teaching; outside the classroom, she carries out activities such as "class story sharing", "5 minutes before class good book recommendation", and "real library".

at the same time, in order to help students understand and digest the classical chinese in class, improve their core literacy in chinese, inherit the excellent traditional chinese culture, and enhance their cultural confidence, she also edited or participated in the compilation of "selected intensive reading of "shishuo xinyu"", "selected extracurricular classical chinese short stories", "situational dictation sentence by sentence" and other works. li minjuan has taught nine senior high school classes, and the average score of the chinese language in the college entrance examination of each graduating class is among the best.

grades are important, but becoming an adult is more important than becoming a talent.

as a teacher, li minjuan imparts knowledge and answers questions; as a "secretary mother", she clears the fog of students' minds and gives them spiritual comfort. the study in the third year of high school is intense, but as the deputy secretary of the school who manages the grade group, she believes that grades are important, but becoming an adult is more important than becoming a talent.

when electing class leaders and class representatives, li minjuan proposed that "everyone should have something to do and everyone should be responsible for everything". some students had excellent grades, but were not very enthusiastic about class affairs because they were timid or inexperienced. li minjuan racked her brains to set up "positions" so that students would not be "spectators". introverted student xie was given the position of "gardening committee member" and was responsible for taking care of the green plants in the class.

this "sinecache" allowed xie to experience the concept of "collective" for the first time. in the 2021 college entrance examination, xie was admitted to the peking university school of medicine with an excellent score of 671.

"she is very strict in class, but very kind in private." wang yijiajia, a student who was admitted to tsinghua university with a high score of 691 this year, told reporters that at the beginning of this school year, the weather was relatively cold for a period of time, and he was a bit slack and was late several times in the morning.

li minjuan noticed this and went out of her way to talk to him. "she didn't criticize me, but just gently told me not to slack off. she also said that she was optimistic about me, which made me feel warm inside," said wang yijiajia.

there is also wang chun (pseudonym), a student from the class of 2021. he is quick-witted and smart, but he is not sociable and does not pay attention to personal hygiene. he has almost no good friends in the class. li minjuan guided him to learn to think from the perspective of classmates and friends, be tolerant, and start by building a good relationship with his deskmate. after her guidance, wang chun gradually changed and finally became good friends with his deskmate. the two fought side by side and were both admitted to key universities.

the hard work paid off, and the students' gratifying achievements were harvested. "teacher, i will graduate soon from zhejiang university with a master's and doctoral degree." "teacher, i was admitted to peking university!" "teacher, i passed the strong foundation plan of tsinghua university." "teacher, i was admitted to beijing normal university, and i hope to become an excellent teacher like you."... every graduation season, the graduated students never forget to tell li minjuan about their excellent achievements.

"watching them grow up step by step and achieve academic success, i feel happy for them from the bottom of my heart. people say that i have taught so many outstanding students, but in fact it is the students who have made me successful. only when our students are good can we be good teachers," said li minjuan.

"i will never regret my infatuation, just for the peaches and plums to bloom." due to her outstanding performance in teaching, class management, and management, li minjuan was successively named one of chenzhou city's "top 100 teachers", chenzhou city's "famous teacher", and chenzhou city's march 8 red flag bearer. in 2024, she was also named "hunan province special grade teacher" and "hunan province women's model of achievement".
