Chapter 191 "June 1st" message

Dear children: Because of my limited mobility, I didn't go out in winter.In the past few days, I heard that not only the pink mountain peach blossoms and the tender yellow winter jasmine flowers have bloomed outside, but even the snow-white magnolia flowers are also in bloom!Children, spring is here, what are you busy with in your spare time? I think our 200 million children in China should respond to the call of the party and the government to "green the motherland and benefit the children and grandchildren" and work hard. I firmly believe that many of you have already done this. You plant flowers and trees in your schoolyard or in your own garden - the playground for children living in the countryside or the frontier of the motherland must be bigger - at least for your own family. Potted flowers on the balcony or window sill, loosen the soil, fertilize, remove insects, and water.It is refreshing to do such productive labor outdoors in the warm sunshine and fresh air.When you see the flowers and trees you cultivated with your own hands, day by day, sprouting, growing, blooming and bearing fruit, how will your heart be filled with joy and satisfaction?

You will think of "greening the motherland", an immediate practice, but I don't think you may realize the seemingly distant cause of "benefiting future generations".You will feel joyful and satisfied because you are a small gardener. Have you ever thought of yourself as a seedling on the ground, a bud on a branch through your own hard work, and realized that the gardener who nurtured you—— What about the hard work of the teacher? The teachers are working meticulously and deeply to make you grow healthily in the four aspects of morality, intelligence, body and beauty.They are always guarding and regulating the sunshine and rain so that you can all receive the education of "Three Loves" and not be attacked by spiritually polluted insects.

For the bright future of the motherland and mankind, and for making you qualified successors of the four modernizations of the socialist motherland, they have exhausted their efforts. I hope that you will live up to the cultivation of the gardeners, inspire and work hard for the motherland and the people, and strive to grow into a mature tree and a full-bodied flower! In the ancient poems, there is "fear that the rain will be too cold and the sun will be too warm, and make spring shade for the flowers for days".These two days are "spring cloudy" weather.What is the difference between this and the teacher's method and mood of trying to balance between strict requirements and persuasiveness?

There are too many associations, so I will write the letter here. May you all consciously love your teachers and respect the great and sacred educational cause they are doing! Your loyal friend Bing Xin April 12, 1984
