  Some rural schools in Qiongzhong Li and Miao Autonomous County of Hainan Province once faced hollowing out: weak teachers and loss of students.

  In recent years, Qiongzhong County has improved the conditions for running schools, introduced excellent teachers, and done a good job in controlling dropouts … … With the improvement of teaching quality, Qiongzhong County has attracted more than 3,000 primary and secondary school students to return.

  The geographical boundary is partial, the teachers are weak, and there are few students — — At one time, Qiongzhong Li and Miao Autonomous County in Hainan Province faced the problem of hollowing out rural schools, and many students went to school outside the county. Qiongzhong County, which withdrew from the poverty-stricken counties in 2019, now has another scene.

  Since 2015, more than 3,000 primary and middle school students have returned to Qiongzhong County from outside the county, accounting for 60% of the growth of students in the basic education stage of the county. At the same time, the comprehensive evaluation index of the senior high school entrance examination in Qiongzhong County jumped from the bottom of the province in 2009 to the top eight in the province in recent four years.

  Introduce backbone teachers and reform assessment methods.

  Wanling School in Qiongzhong County was once a school facing the merger, ranking last in the comprehensive evaluation of the senior high school entrance examination in the county. In 2016, Wanling School introduced a principal and 11 key teachers. The arrival of excellent teachers and the gradual improvement of hardware have quietly changed this school.

  "When I first came, this village school was in the hearts of local people ‘ Can’t save lives ’ School. " Bao Rui became the principal of Wanling School through competition in 2016. He remembers that when he first came, there were only 81 students in the middle school, and often half of them were not in class.

  Fu Yongdong, director of the Education Bureau of Qiongzhong County, clearly remembers that before he went to a rural school for investigation and looked at a class’s physics test paper, almost all the scores of more than 40 people in the class were 30 to 40 points. "Teachers are very important to the level of education. It is difficult to improve the level of local teachers in a short time, and children can’t afford it. " Fu Yongdong said.

  Since 2015, Hainan Province has successively implemented the introduction project of "good principals and good teachers" and the introduction project of "one city (county), two schools and one park" for high-quality educational resources, and provincial-level financial special subsidies have been given to cities and counties to run basic education well.

  Taking this opportunity, since 2015, Qiongzhong County has introduced 24 outstanding principals and 133 key teachers from more than 20 provinces across the country, and the number of key teachers in the county has doubled. At the same time, priority is given to financial expenditure to ensure basic education. Since 2015, the county has invested more than 600 million yuan to improve school conditions.

  More crucially, there is the reform of teachers’ assessment methods. Qiongzhong County eliminated the principals from the bottom of nine comprehensive evaluations in the school year, which widened the performance pay gap of teachers, and broke the situation of "teaching well and teaching poorly, with little difference".

  In August, 2020, Wang Leilei was admitted to the post of rural backbone teacher in Qiongzhong County, but she missed the employment inspection because of her father’s sudden illness. Two months later, when her father was discharged from the hospital, Wang Leilei told Qiongzhong County Education Bureau that she still wanted to teach. Although the position was not full, the relevant departments of the county refused the request of the Education Bureau to make up the record according to the recruitment procedure. Fu Yongdong was in a hurry and went directly to the county leaders. Finally, through the decision of the county government executive meeting, Wang Leilei was re-recorded.

  "I can’t think of making up a teacher, and I can put it on the county government executive meeting." Wang Leilei lamented Qiongzhong’s courage in introducing talents.

  Perfecting the competitive employment system and stimulating teaching motivation

  According to the new assessment method of Qiongzhong County Education Bureau, Wanling School has established an assessment mechanism with workload and teaching quality as the main standards. In the first semester of implementation, the performance pay that teachers got was up to more than 7,000 yuan. Some teachers couldn’t accept the gap for a while and found Bao Rui to complain.

  "Controversy is not a bad thing, forcing schools to further revise and improve rules and regulations." Fu Yongdong said. Qiongzhong county began to plan how to make local teachers and imported teachers better form a joint force in this reform.

  Qiongzhong County has broken the school boundaries, established 129 discipline regional teaching and research groups, combined more than 2,200 teachers in the county in each discipline regional teaching and research group, and arranged the imported discipline backbone teachers and local excellent teachers as the discipline regional teaching and research team leaders, so that teachers can communicate and integrate in teaching and research practice regardless of local or foreign.

  The introduction of teachers does not account for the number of local teachers’ professional titles, and local teachers do not have to worry that the growth space will be squeezed. In addition, Qiongzhong tilted the financial subsidy funds to remote rural teachers and distributed rural teacher subsidies, from which more than 500 local teachers in the county benefited.

  In 2018, Qiongzhong County began to implement the equal competition mechanism between local teachers and imported teachers. Successful local teachers can get a one-time educational talent award. During the employment period, they will be assessed equally with the imported educational talents and enjoy the annual assessment subsidy.

  Wang Bo, a local teacher, was hired as the headmaster of a village. He said, "Years of tempering and learning from the introduction of key teachers have made me confident to stand on the competition platform and compete with everyone." In the past two years, there have been 15 outstanding local teachers like Wang Bo.

  Gradually, the system has been straightened out, and more teachers have devoted themselves to teaching. Local teachers are actively preparing lessons and competing with imported teachers to attend open classes. There are even teachers in Wanling School who have been invited to the province to take part in marking the senior high school entrance examination.

  Clear the number of dropouts and care for left-behind children

  In Wanling School, Bao Rui is not only the principal, but also the "surrogate parents" of the students. In 2016, Qiongzhong included more than 6,000 poor students and left-behind children in the county into the "four ones" care system. More than 2,000 teachers, as "acting parents" of students in charge, "meet once a day, talk once a week, visit once a month, and evaluate the help effect once a semester".

  "There are especially many single-parent left-behind children in rural areas here. Some classes have more than forty children, and only a few are not single-parent left-behind children. Schools and teachers have to take good care of them." Bao Rui said. “‘ Four ones ’ The operation of the care system makes teachers want to manage, dare to manage, and manage, and find ways to ensure that every student can complete the nine-year compulsory education. " Deng Shizhi, president of Wushi School in Wanling Town, said. Controlling dropping out of school has always been one of the key tasks of education in Qiongzhong County. After years of efforts, the number of dropouts in Qiongzhong County has been cleared.

  The change of educational atmosphere and the improvement of teaching quality have brought about the progress of students’ grades. In 2020, there were 432 undergraduate college entrance examinations in Qiongzhong County, 102 more than in 2019. What makes Fu Yongdong even more gratified is that in the senior high school entrance examination in 2020, 75 of the top 100 students in Qiongzhong County chose to stay in Qiongzhong County to attend high school.

  Over the years, depending on the relevant policies of the state and the province, Wanling School has received nearly 30 million yuan in financial support, which has comprehensively improved the campus hardware facilities. At present, the school has more than 130 teachers. The teaching building is clean and bright, with computer room, library, laboratory, etc. The plastic track, basketball court and swimming pool are fully equipped, and the multimedia teaching equipment of Banbantong covers all classes. At present, there are 1105 students in school, including more than 400 students returning from surrounding cities and counties.

  "Frankly speaking, we are still making up the historical debts and getting back the confidence of teachers and the trust of parents." Fu Yongdong said that in order to make every child learn at home, educators in the county are taking a step forward in a down-to-earth manner.

  Wanling Street, which was once lonely, became lively again, accompanied by the sound of books and laughter from the school. "Running a school well can change a village. The change of Wanling school is the weak school in Hainan rural areas ‘ Counterattack ’ Typical, but it has not yet reached the best appearance of rural schools in my mind, and I will continue to work hard to realize this dream. " Bao Rui said.

Real "Passerby A" Survey: I have no money to watch "I am Passerby A"

  Sohu Entertainment News (Sen Yue/Wen Blueprint/Video) "Are you looking for an actor? I can act, I’ll sing one for you. " Extras Xiao Jia said. He is one of the extras gathered at the gate of the Old North Film Factory. Although many of them have no professional performance training, they are naturally sensitive to the camera. At the gate of the old North Film Factory, they squatted on the ground in twos and threes, waiting to be chosen, singing and dancing in a circle, hoping that they could grasp the opportunity when it came. As soon as they see an unidentified person approaching, or someone holding a device with a lens at them, their performance has already begun.

  The group of "extras" has been paid attention to again, because the film "I am a passerby" directed by Tung shing Yee, in which the group performers with the background of human flesh are the protagonists. In addition to Hengdian, which is nicknamed "Hollywood in China" by the group performers, there are also such a group of people in Beijing, who sometimes hang out in Huairou’s film and television base and sometimes stay outside the gate of the Old North Film Studio. These people who come from different places, have different goals and are not sure about the future gather at the gate of the old North Film Factory. Among them, apart from the confused young people, the "North Wandering" who have never been to the theater to try their luck, the old Jianghu with many years of group performance experience, and many students who graduated from professional colleges and old artists who really love performance.

  There are nobody, corner and wrist, some people come to look for their dreams, and many people just like the atmosphere. Although many people in this industry can’t make ends meet, most of them can do a serious job; Although many of them have no money to watch I am a passerby, they are more hopeful than others, and being an extra actor may not be as "miserable" as people think.

  From all corners of the country, I have done various occupations.

  Xiao Jia is not tall. He said that he came to squat at five o’clock in the morning to see if there was any work. It was already ten o’clock in the morning, and it was a bit hanging. However, Xiao Jia said that sometimes someone will suddenly come to find someone to use it in the evening, and he will wait and see. In the midsummer of July, under the big sun, extras squatted on the ground waiting for the crew, but Xiao Bing from Sichuan said that there had been no crew to find someone for several days. When I came to Beijing to be an extra, everyone had different experiences. Xiaoding, a native of Shanxi, used to be a cook. He felt bored, so he came to Beijing to see the opportunity. For one thing, he played the Eighth Route Army with a line, and more often he played passers-by and corpses. A monk who used to study in Shaolin but was not forbidden by monks, seems to be more idealistic than others, sleeping in flyovers and parks, and acting in some martial arts plays.

  More people have done odd jobs, driven trucks and pulled through Ma Touqin, and they are not planning their careers, just surviving. Doing group performances is just another way to make a living. Xiao Yi, a girl from Jiangsu, used to be a small white-collar worker. She has just been here for two days and has not yet figured out what kind of environment this is. After her work suffered setbacks, doing group performances became the last "life-saving straw" for Xiao Yi. This girl has just been treated unfairly and has no money. She didn’t want to go home and hide. Until this year, her family didn’t know that she was doing group performances. She didn’t think being an actress was her childhood dream. "Because I have no money, I have courage because I have no money. I feel that my situation is similar to that of people around me."

  Thirty to one hundred, which is probably the reward for a group performance for one day. It will be more expensive to play the corpse. The group performers jostled each other and teased each other about the experience of playing the corpse. Xiaojia feels that he doesn’t earn much every day in his hometown, but his daily life should be enough. He wears cheap clothes, but his gestures are dramatic, and he pays great attention to adjusting his position with the camera. He said that he often plays the body guard, and more often he plays the Eighth Route Army.

  Have an ideal, but not to be Wang Baoqiang.

  In fact, many extras just want to "appear on camera". They don’t have a better plan for the future, or they dare not think too far. They can’t think about things beyond tomorrow. In front of the camera, "passers-by A" are scrambling to show their talents, and finally this has almost changed from an interview to a talent show. "I wrote a song myself. Let me sing it for you." A boy who looks like Shawn Dou shyly caught up with the previous request. He sang a song in praise of China, and the lyrics and songs all have some Zhang Mingmin meanings.

  "I don’t want to be Wang Baoqiang, I have my own dreams." Xiao Jia said that his ideal is acting, as long as he can keep acting. He hates "who to be". In fact, most of the extras here are no longer fledgling children. Many of them are over twenty-five, and the oldest is over fifty. Most of them have been in at least two plays. Wang Baoqiang’s name is the most popular among them. When one of his peers becomes a lucky "chosen one", others will inevitably feel that they have a bright future.

  The extras who have stayed at the gate of the North Film Factory for several years are already familiar with all the processes, and doing group performances is their way of life. Some of them have experienced the group performance life in Hengdian, and as the opportunity drifted to Beijing, the entrance of the North Film Factory became their new "office". They are familiar with each other and enthusiastically recommend each other. They are willing to let their peers receive the play and hope that their partners can also show their faces in front of the camera. There are also many people whose ideals are dead. There is a "passer-by A" who has been waiting here for fifteen years. Xiaojia said that he and Wang Baoqiang are friends, and they have been to the theater together and suffered together. The old man is far away from the lively young people, sitting in the shade drunk, holding a bottle of mineral water in his arms, which is 71 degrees protoplasm. Every day, I was so drunk that I almost forgot my name. He said he couldn’t act anymore and would go home in a few years. Xiao Jia said that he has been saying this for several years.

  There are also roles in the group performance, and I meet old artists.

  Whether doing group performances is a part of life or a group performance, another group of people just love it from the heart. In the crowd, there was a young man with elegant temperament. It was hot, and he was dressed neatly in a thin coat. The whole body’s wardrobe specially emphasized the sense of the times. Xiao Wu said that he was a graduate of local drama performance major and had a systematic performance training, but the crew was not so easy to find. He came to the gate of Beijing Film Factory to find his luck. I have a good job in my hometown, because I have been to a play by chance, so I want to come back for my passion and wait for another chance to try. Xiao Geng, from Liaoning Province, has been on a big show. He once played a villain in One Step Away, and his scene included Shu Qi and Ge You. He likes what he does very much, and hopes that he can really become a professional actor.

  We accidentally met Cui Kefa, an old man, at the gate of the North Film Factory. In recent years, Cui Kefa, who moved Mazar out to play chess and enjoy the cool with the group performers, is a famous actor who was deeply impressed by many previous generations. He has appeared in The Great Turn, The Great War between Nanjing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, and so on. He is also an important role in the upcoming Pancake Man. In the movie, Cui Kefa plays an old man who loves acting wholeheartedly and even challenges Weiya with his old age. There is also an actress with white hair who comes almost every day. She used to be a singer of the Art Troupe and can sing Bel Canto songs in Russian. She is a special actress herself. When she is not on the stage, she is willing to stay with people who love singing and dancing in the North Film Factory to prevent herself from becoming a boring old man. Once someone comes to sing with a speaker, she will dance with the song and fly up her white hair and red silk scarf.

  Perhaps it is these people who make the entrance of the old North Film Factory different from Hengdian. No matter how things change, they will not change. The factory has been demolished and the road has been repaired many times, close to the busy North Third Ring Road, but they have turned the roadside into an all-weather mini art troupe. Unlike people who come to wait for jobs, coming here every day is their way to save their dreams.

  "No, I haven’t seen" I am a passerby ".I don’t have time and money." A "passerby" said. "I just want to act, life is very difficult, and I still have to stick to it for my dreams."
