Editor’s note: In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the National Education Conference and other conferences, and comprehensively promote the construction project of teachers in the new era of schools, according to the "Central Committee of the Communist Party of China" According to the requirements of the State Council’s Opinions on Comprehensively Deepening the Reform of the Construction of Teacher Team in the New Era, which “strengthen teachers’ participation in social practice and promote teachers’ full understanding of the Party’s conditions, the country’s conditions, social conditions, and the people’s conditions”, the Party Committee’s Teacher Affairs Department/Human Resources Division/Teacher Development Center organized the National Conditions Education for New Teachers in 2019 (the first batch) to guide young teachers to expand their horizons, grow their talents, make contributions, and serve the motherland while serving the society. In mid-October 2019, 21 new teachers went to four practical cooperation units: Shihezi University, China University of Petroleum (Beijing) Karamay Campus, Qingdao Research Institute, and Hainan Research Institute, kicking off their practice in education and teaching, subject research, and think tank construction. The process of practice is also a process of understanding life, thinking about the present, sublimating the state of mind, and inspiring the mission. They use real and delicate brushwork and lenses to present practical stories that belong to themselves and more specifically to the young teachers of the University of International w88.
Hainan Story: New Young People from the Personnel Department
Chu Yunxia, a new teacher of the w88 casino of Chinese Language and Literature in 2019, Hainan Branch
w88 casino News Network (provided by the Teacher Affairs Department)For me, a literature major, Hainan Island has an inexplicable attraction deep in the water and sky. From the kindness and desolation of Su Dongpo's "True Homeland Ten Thousand Miles of Hainan" in the place of migration, to the utopian imagination of the "Great Relocation of the Hunan Army" in literature in 1988 to overcome all system abuses, I feel that Hainan, an isolated island overseas, is a mysterious distant place with countless legends. Sometimes, "distance" can be measured not only by geographical distance.
Just in time for the w88 casino’s national education practice, I chose to go to Hainan Island. In this way, it became the second island that left a mark on my life. On October 11, 2019, the Hainan delegation arrived at Haikou Meilan Airport. The long shadows of the coconut trees and the bright sunshine made me feel both familiar and strange, and full of expectations and fantasies about the unknown life. Based on my professional characteristics and needs, I was assigned to the Human Resources Department of Hainan Nongken Investment Holding Group (Haiken Group) and became a new young person in the Human Resources Department.

The headquarters of Haiken Group is located in Guomao District, on Haikou Binhai Avenue. Its style is completely different from the old Haikou neighborhood with arcades, ancestral halls, Tianhou Temple and Jishiteng Mill. w88 casino represents the modernization of the city and the booming development of Hainan. Having lived in an ivory tower for a long time, I was a little frightened when I walked into such a state-owned enterprise office for the first time. In Haiken Group, the Human Resources Department is also the Party Committee Organization Department, responsible for many important matters such as personnel construction, salary calculation, performance appraisal, group party building, cadre training, retirement management, etc. w88 casino can be said to be one of the core departments in the enterprise. Therefore, from the first day when I entered the Human Resources Department, I realized the great responsibility that I have. I must do my best to do everything well in order to live up to the trust of the group leaders.
The work in the personnel department office is trivial. Different from departments such as corporate management or capital operations, its work nature is more routine and service-oriented. So there are no "downtimes" between projects, w88 casino's basically a busy day after day. The employees who come to the office to do business are filing in one after another, the phones are ringing one after another, and the typing sound of computer keyboards is endless. They work overtime every day, and even have to constantly adjust their working hours according to the specific conditions of the service recipients. This made me accustomed to the quietness and autonomy of academic life very uncomfortable. For example, the first job I took over was to deal with the temporary cadres sent by the Central Organization Department to Haiken Group. Management tasks such as booking air tickets, accommodation, arranging training, salary performance and assessment before they officially came to work and during their temporary work required the assistance of the Human Resources Department. Just in the early stage of communication, there were a lot of complicated situations. Each temporary unit and specific temporary cadres and transfer personnel had different demands and practical difficulties. w88 casino required the Human Resources Department to coordinate and overall plan and patiently solve everyone's problems. Just when I was feeling overwhelmed, the leader's words inspired me. She said that you majored in literature, and literature is about humanities. In the human resources department, you have to constantly deal with people. I suddenly realized that I had always felt that working in the human resources department was far from my major, and that I might not be good at many things. Indeed, if we don’t understand “people” well, how can we understand literature? In fact, the work of the Human Resources Department is closely related to my major, and my understanding of human nature and human nature through literature over the years can be applied to my work. Therefore, I learned how to think from each person's perspective, and experience their thoughts and subtle psychological changes based on different occupations and identities. When communication was not smooth, I tried to use others' perspective to appease my emotions. This not only gave full play to the service function of the HR department, but also allowed the other party to fully understand the work of the HR department. Things naturally became clearer and smoother.
Exchanging work with colleagues in the Human Resources Department of Haiken Group
After experiencing the first lesson in the Human Resources Department, the subsequent work gradually became easier. In addition to these daily communication and management, another very important task of mine is to assist the party building team in revising speech drafts and research reports. Since I have experience in editing before, there is nothing uncomfortable when doing this kind of word processing. But unlike the previous literary editors, most of the documents modified here fall into the category of practical writing. While helping them polish and improve, I also saw the problems that grassroots party-building workers tend to have when writing these articles and their confusion about words and grammar. These are all fresh "corpus" in official documents of party and government agencies. Apart from my daily life in the office, I was particularly impressed by the two rare experiences of going to the countryside. I had the honor to follow the leaders of the Ministry of Personnel to Qiongzhong and Danzhou to visit the poverty alleviation team members sent by the Haiken Group to take root in the countryside. Among them, Bianwen Village was still a red hot land. Under a big banyan tree there, w88 casino was the site of the first congress of the Qiongya Guerrilla Independent Column of Guangdong Province. Not to mention the hardships of life in the village, the difficulty of arriving already daunted me. On the way to Qiongzhong Village, the mountain road with nine twists and turns caused almost everyone in the car to have strong physical discomfort. Just going up and down the mountain took an hour of driving. The team members not only took root in the isolated rural areas with peace of mind, but also made great achievements in the barren land, which I admire from the bottom of my heart. The words of a village committee secretary impressed me deeply. She said that even if she grew up in a rural area, she would never truly understand the countryside without doing rural work. Just like me, who has always been in an academic tower, sometimes I can't help but feel worried about the country as an intellectual. I read about the countryside, officialdom, and offices that appear in books, but I have never truly perceived the world.

It was only then that I truly understood the profound purpose of the w88 casino sending new teachers to carry out social practice and national conditions education. With the change of identity, the situation we face is much more complicated than when we were students. Not only are we familiar with teaching and scientific research, we also need to undertake a lot of student work and even some administrative tasks. The society's expectations of us are much higher than before. Faced with these complex situations, we need to be tempered in the office of the human resources department, and be focused on everything and everything; we need to learn to communicate with others, so that we can start from the demands and standpoints of each student and parent, and spend a fulfilling and wonderful college time with them; we need to collect materials and find problems in society, so that teaching can be more practical; we need to learn from grassroots workers, not only to be independent from the classics, but also to be dedicated and enthusiastic.
Now, two months of social practice is coming to an end. Hainan Island is no longer just a spiritual island for me, but has become the first step to my career. Farewell is imminent, and w88 casino is inevitable that there will be some sadness in the air. Facing the banquet that will eventually come to an end, what is more important is that we gain something in the process. Just like the French writer Stendhal once summed up his life in one sentence, "Henri Bell, a native of Milan, wrote, loved, and lived." I firmly believe that when asked about this experience in Hainan, we can all say with a clear conscience that I have worked, pursued, and struggled.
