[My life as a senior volunteer teacher] Fang Guoxing: A different kind of happiness that comes from retreating and making progress

Published: May 28, 2024 Editor: Yuqing

w88 casino News Network (provided by the Retired Personnel Office)Time flies so fast, this is already my second year of retirement from the University of International w88 and Economics. How to organize and arrange your retirement life is a problem that everyone of the same age must face.

38years of teaching career have been engraved into the annual rings of life, and teaching has become my first hobby. Once I stand on the podium, I feel like all the big things have left me in an instant. Then there is the enjoyment of the evolution of formulas, the unraveling of difficult problems, the communication and interaction with students... However, this kind of daily work will end with the arrival of retirement life. It is really disappointing to think about it.

Two years ago, I happened to learn that the Ministry of Education had issued a policyThe "Silver Age Project" recruits retired teachers to support universities in remote areas of the west. This news perfectly matches my ideal retirement life. On the one hand, I love teaching, and on the other hand, I can still exert my residual enthusiasm in places where education is relatively backward. Isn’t it a great virtue? Third, I am in a relatively relaxed stage of life. So I signed up without hesitation. Fortunately, my application immediately received strong support from the w88 casino's retirement office, and I successfully taught at Kashgar University.

Now, it is the fourth semester that I have been teaching at Kashgar University in Xinjiang. I teach a number of courses, including "Advanced Mathematics", "Linear Algebra", and "Probability and Statistics". I also teach "History of Mathematics" and mathematical problem-solving methods to graduate students.

There are too many ethnic minority students here and their math foundation is weak, which requires me to invest twice as much mental and physical energy. In just four semesters, my lesson preparation notes have reached20More than 10,000 words. In addition to regular lectures, we also need to tell them how to study, increase time for answering questions, and do homework together at the same time. Then, the answers to the homework will be distributed to the classmate group at the appropriate time so that they can self-examine and review their own learning. In addition, classes missed due to holidays should be made up as much as possible during breaks. With the joint efforts of my classmates and me, the passing rates of the students in the three large classes I taught all reached95%, which has been recognized and praised by w88 casino leaders, colleagues and students. My teaching attitude and working methods have also positively influenced some young teachers. At the end of last year, I was awarded the title of “Excellent Silver Teacher” by Kashgar University.

Life in Xinjiang is also colorful. We learn to dance Xinjiang dance here, and Uyghur friends and students teach me to speak Uyghur, and we get along well with each other. I also got a fitness card near the w88 casino, and I often swam and exercised. Travel around during holidays to experience the local landforms and customs, and experience the beauty of Xinjiang. Under the jurisdiction of Kashgar Prefecture12County, I have been to many places, including the West Pole of China in Wuqia County, where I have experienced the majesty and majesty of the intersection of the Tianshan Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains. Travel is also a kind of self-education, and I hope that the vastness will stay in my heart.

In mid-spring, go to Yingisha County to see the apricot blossoms and pick wild alfalfa to make dumplings. Going to Awati Township to pick mulberries and making fruit wine in early summer, and going to Zepu County to see the golden Populus euphratica in autumn have become memories that will be treasured forever. However, the cold loneliness of winter and the dusty sky of early spring are also gifts of life that I must experience and taste. Sometimes it is inevitable to feel lonely and lonely away from home and relatives, but this can be overcome.

During the teaching period, I have always received care and help from leaders and colleagues in the w88 casino and the retirement office, which also makes me feel the support fromThe warmth and dependence of the "rear area" makes me feel at ease and grateful.
