Chapter 241 unexpected result

Comrade Zhang Huixian, a reporter from the magazine "Doubling Hope" (overseas edition), asked me to introduce to overseas compatriots how last year the Beijing Women's Federation and other four organizations co-hosted the composition competition for primary school students, and brought several primary school students' compositions.This task came very suddenly. I just came back from the hospital. I was exhausted physically and mentally, and it was difficult to write. But after reading a few award-winning essays by elementary school students, I felt that I still had something to report to my overseas compatriots.

The origin of this call for essays is as follows: In the first half of last year, Beijing Municipal Women’s Federation, Beijing Municipal Bureau of Education, Beijing Family Research Association and "Beijing Evening News" jointly sponsored the "My Mom" ​​essay writing competition for primary school students in Beijing, and it was closed soon. There were 156,000 primary school students who applied for the composition.In the second half of last year, another essay competition was held. In just one month, another 230,000 essays were received!In other words, these 386,000 essays truly reflected the images of hundreds of thousands of young parents and the observations and judgments of hundreds of thousands of elementary school students in urban and rural Beijing in the 1980s.

Children's educators, children's literature writers and teachers were invited to participate in the evaluation of these essays.The prizes are also divided into grades, including stationery, toys, candy, etc., and there is no need to go into details. From the several award-winning essays sent by the journalist comrades, I feel that I have gained something unexpected.Even the elementary school students in our country in the 1980s had keen observations and fair judgments.They can clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of their parents who get along day and night, or other members of the family, and describe them deeply and delicately. The animal world program, and observe the habits and growth of all animals, compared with his aunt who only insisted that her daughter be admitted to a key middle school, and did not let her daughter watch TV, go to the zoo, and so on.It can be seen here that he is not a child who reads dead books and does not pay attention to the dynamics and information around him.

Another example is Tang Dunhao (he is the son of a musician and a famous actor), who originally felt "very uncomfortable" and "annoyed" because his father who came to pick him up from the kindergarten was called grandpa by his classmates.Later, he learned that his parents traveled all over the country and abroad to sing and play in order to be loyal to their profession, which delayed their marriage, so that he was born when his father was fifty and his mother was forty.He was finally "proud and proud of such a father". Elementary school student Xun Tao respects his father, saying that he is "good at everything, he goes out early and returns late every day, and works conscientiously." "It's just that he smokes too much." The description is very detailed and very humorous.He finally wrote "When will the trilogy 'Bada...shh...batta' disappear in my house?" He was helpless about his father's smoking habit!

Primary school student Weiwei was wary of her stepmother.Later, after practice in life, she felt that her new mother loved and cared for her as much as her own mother.She finally wrote "Mother under the Nine Springs, don't worry, rest in peace, because I have a good mother." Primary school student Zhang Lihua is a rural child.Because when her mother went to receive labor remuneration, it should have been 2,500 yuan, but the accountant gave her an extra 300 yuan because of a wrong calculation. After sending it back, the accountant said ashamedly, "Sister-in-law, I was sloppy for a while... Fortunately, I met such a kind person like you, so the national property was not damaged!" , she felt infinitely proud!

There is no need to introduce any more, I think that "Jianwang" magazine will include a few essays written by young students for the reading and appreciation of overseas compatriots.In short, from the images of their parents reflected by some primary school students, we can see the gratifying changes in urban and rural areas of Beijing since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the People's Republic of China, the new atmosphere of family life, and the level of thinking and writing of primary school students. I think overseas compatriots will be happy to read it. Urgent on January 28, 1985
