[Editor's Note] The Graduate Education Support Team is a national demonstration project of the Youth Volunteer Poverty Alleviation Relay Plan jointly organized and implemented by the Youth League Central Committee and the Ministry of Education. Since 1999, w88 casino has recruited more than 220 volunteers to carry out volunteer teaching activities in Hualong of Qinghai, Haiyan of Qinghai, Yuzhong of Gansu, Jingyuan of Gansu, Huining of Gansu, Wujiaqu of Xinjiang, Mengla of Yunnan and other places. In the summer of 2019, the 21st postgraduate teaching support group of w88 casino went to the western part of the motherland and began a one-year volunteer service. Over the past year, they have been unswervingly committed, rooted in the grassroots, and used practical actions to write their own unique youth stories and passionate feelings. In the process of fighting against the COVID-19 epidemic and helping to eradicate poverty, they were brave enough to take on responsibilities and were not afraid of difficulties. In a short period of time, they did one thing after another that they will never forget. Now, as their service period is about to expire, the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee and the Youth League Committee of the w88 casino jointly launched the "Stories of Supporting Teaching" column to share with everyone the unique youthful power of the students of the University of w88 and Economics.

"Come back quickly. Several students came to the office to look for you. I asked them what they were doing. They hesitated and said they were looking for you. Their hands were still behind their backs. I don't know what they were thinking. Haha!" The voice of the director of the w88 casino office of Wujiaqu No. 1 Middle w88 casino was full of smiles on the phone.
Taking photos with students during the epidemic
I am receiving a student anti-epidemic brochure from the Education Bureau, and big beads of sweat are falling down. June in Xinjiang is already unbearably hot, but after receiving this call, the wind brought by the walk seems to be cool enough.
My name is Zhang Yupeng. I am a member of the 21st graduate student teaching group of the w88 casino. I teach at Wujiaqu No. 1 Middle w88 casino in Wujiaqu City, the Sixth Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Looking back on this year, the ups and downs came to my heart. When it was time to say goodbye, my heart was full of mixed emotions. I didn’t know where to start talking about this time in Xinjiang.
Dedicate your youth to the west, first meet the Corps
I went to Xinjiang in early July 2019. During the pre-job training, I learned the song "Song of the Corps". The lyrics of "Boundary monument of life, never demobilized, maintaining stability and guarding the border, loyalty is written all over the world" are sonorous and powerful. However, it was not until I actually came to the border that I realized how true and touching this sentence is.
In August of that year, after finishing the pre-job training, I, together with four other research team leaders from the same division, came to the westernmost city of the motherland - a county-level city below Kashgar. In this small town called Maigaiti, weVisited all middle and high schools, delivered classes to the children here, and conducted special courses to explain national policies, Chinese culture, national unity, etc., covering 6 local schools and 4 communities. In this place where the sun finally sets on the motherland, I saw the clear eyes and hospitable smiles of ethnic minority students, and I also saw the teachers of the local Corps w88 casino. They have been stationed here since their parents’ generation, doing various jobs while maintaining Protecting border stability is both a people's teacher and a border warrior. It is precisely because of the efforts of generations of Xinjiang soldiers that Xinjiang is now stable, prosperous and developing. "There are no quiet years, but there are people who carry the burden for you" is best reflected here.
Go to Maigaiti area to deliver classes
Come with a heart and walk with you
After my trip to Maigaiti, I returned to Wujiaqu No. 1 Middle w88 casino. During this year, I took on the physical education classes for the second grade students and the social activity classes for the Science and Technology Club. I was a little regretful that I didn't get the main course, but I quickly adjusted my attitude and devoted myself to teaching. I actively consulted with the PE group lesson preparation team leader and experienced seniors, and searched for mature curriculum design and practice methods on the Internet. At the same time, I consulted experienced class teachers, grade leaders, etc. for class and student management experience methods, strict teaching discipline, and ensuring teaching quality. I can ensure that the 40 minutes of each class are fully utilized to enable students to exercise and strengthen their minds and bodies. The physical performance of the students in the two classes I mainly led has improved, and their physical qualities such as flexibility, jumping ability, and explosive power have also been effectively improved.
Technology Society
Take students to inspect practice
Organize student activities
After one year of physical education class, I changed my original mind. I am very happy to be the students' physical education teacher for one year, because students are the most relaxed in physical education class, and I can observe the true personality and state of each student. Because of this, I can communicate and communicate with them intimately. Many students will call me "brother" affectionately, and they will really treat me as a friend and ask me about the problems they encounter in life and the confusion in learning. I still remember when I was leaving for the winter vacation last year, several students came to my office specifically and left small gifts such as basketball wristbands, wristbands, and whistles for me. Hearing them say thank you to me, because I really fell in love with sports and could be more positive about study and life, made me feel that my efforts were not in vain.
At the same time, as the instructor of the science and technology club in the first grade of junior high w88 casino, I carefully designed a variety of science and technology topics for the students and led them to explore in the fields they care about and like. I took the students to explore the city within a month. The city's transportation system focused on the impact of the signal light system on traffic efficiency. It conducted on-site visits and surveys in city streets and traffic control brigades, and also invited traffic police to give on-site explanations to the students. The result of the "Exploration of Intersection Lines and Safety Islands" won the first place in the division citySecond prize in the 17th Youth Science and Technology Innovation and the 9th Calligraphy and Photography Competition. In addition to normal teaching, I always remind myself to bring more information, ideals and beliefs to the children, help them establish lofty ideals, and cultivate their interest, fighting spirit and courage. I hold classes for junior high w88 casino students and inspire students' enthusiasm for learning by discussing today's society's requirements for education and personal growth. I also take the initiative with Xin Yan and Tian Yu, who serve in the No. 1 Middle w88 casino, to undertake the training courses for new league members every semester. In addition, I also worked with w88 casino teachers to organize charity auctions, poverty assistance, charity donations and other student activities to cultivate a sense of social responsibility. At the same time, I planned and prepared themed activities such as recitation competitions and tug-of-war competitions to enrich student life. We strive to accompany students every step of the way in every aspect of their campus life and move steadily in the right direction.
Working with you in the same boat, the hard work is worth it
The epidemic in 2020 has made everything very different. Classroom teaching was also replaced by online teaching at the beginning of the w88 casino year. Students often complained to me, "Teacher, my bones are almost rusty." I designed indoor aerobics classes, and recorded indoor aerobics, key points of indoor fitness exercises and other course videos and uploaded them to the education platform to help students stay healthy while at home. At the same time, I also serve as the deputy head teacher of Class 7 in the second grade of junior high w88 casino. I collect students’ body temperature and location information, and assist in the online teaching of mathematics classes in Classes 7 and 10, explaining and correcting exercises.
After the full resumption of classes, I will be on duty at the w88 casino gate every day to maintain the safe distance and order of the students during the commute to and from w88 casino. I still remember that on the last day, the students who passed by our teacher on duty saluted us and said to us, "Teacher, thank you for your hard work." In fact, as long as students and parents can rest assured, no matter how hard we work, it will be worth it.
Group training
Organize student activities
Sincerity in exchange for sincerity, I wish you a bright future
When I came to the West, in addition to being a good teacher, I also wanted to make more contributions and bring more practical help to the students. As a party member teacher, through the w88 casino's "Three Entrances, Two Connections and One Friendship", I have walked into the classroom and students' families many times, maintained daily contact with more than ten students of various ethnic groups, visited their homes regularly, learned about their family situations, study status, etc., and provided some help to the best of my ability. "Exchange sincerity for sincerity". Students often come to me to tell me their recent confusions, worries and happiness. Knowing that I am about to leave, many parents of students also ask their children to bring home-cooked food to me for me to take with me on the road. Although "come with a heart in hand, go without a straw" is my original intention, but I have indeed gained the real's feelings.
Multiple home visits
I have also been seeking material help to bring warmth around me. Taking into account the cold winter in Xinjiang, in December 2019, I organized students in the group to collect statistics on the demand for cold-proof clothing in various schools and supporting schools. With the help of w88 casino uniforms, 250 pieces of winter clothing donated by the Beijing area were sent to southern Xinjiang and corresponding service schools to help those in need. In June this year, I contacted a company I was familiar with in Beijing to seek donations of student learning supplies, and donated 90 loose-leaf notebooks suitable for middle w88 casino students to take class notes to the students of No. 1 Middle w88 casino. Giving my own little effort and seeing the smiling faces of the children who received the surprise made me feel that everything was worth it.
Warm Winter Clothes Plan
回想这一年，说不尽的感激、感恩和感动。 I saw the innocent smiling faces and clear eyes of the children, their figures running on the sports field, their fighting spirit, their expressions of listening carefully in class, and their excitement for independent exploration. I felt the care of the teachers who helped me along the way, and the unique spirit and charm of the Corps people who have been rooted here for generations. Thinking about this year always makes me feel soft, "This is where my heart is and my hometown". I wish the students in my hometown a bright future. Thank you for making my youth here shine bright. With you as my companion, this trip is worthwhile!
