Editor's Note:

Thirty or forty years of the last century, Pan, who eloquently education misunderstanding that the so-called new education in modern times, there are many parts of the country's youth and I am sorry, that is to sum up, education did not make people educated to make a "person" make a "person", ignoring its fundamental mission, "education do not know why the man-made objects with disabilities, and therefore should repent."

Half a century, China has made tremendous progress in education for young people, for the state contribution. However, the fundamental mission of this issue at the review of contemporary education is still worth it. Many people of insight has started discussions,moncler outlet, and improvement initiatives into practice. "Liren library" is one noteworthy project.

Four years ago, Peking University, master's graduates Liying Jiang to give up the big city life, pack back Hubei rural home. And his companions, as well as a root in rural areas, construction of rural libraries stubborn ideal.

Over the past few years, he was in his hometown and the other eight provinces in the country to build from the 13 libraries. His ambitious, like in more rural areas, build more libraries.

These rural libraries,http://www.web-display.com/index.php?item/create_form/8, have a unified name "man", which means "The Analects" "Yuli written for the people" means. Liying Jiang want the library this platform, "to restore human dignity, promote human values, help people become healthy people."

"I believe one thing, and went up. Change we can change and accept that we can not change, and this is what I do." The young people said goatee, speed fast.

Everyone's home in the fall, we can not do something about it

A winter afternoon in the town of Hubei Qichun this place called bluestone, the sun a little bit harsh. 32-year-old Liying Jiang Slop pair of blue slippers,piumini moncler, wearing a light gray coat, holding his less than one year old daughter, sitting on the steps in the sun. If you do not know his background, it is hard to believe that this is a prestigious master.

Concrete floor stairs before basking rice,doudoune parajumpers, forward, is a quite wide roads. Speeding car passing whistle, blowing the dust off. The other side of the road, is the bluestone town high school. Some lady in the van of hawkers selling snacks, waiting for the students to appear.

Just behind library, in a building four-story building of red. It is only this year rented, annual rent 18,000 yuan. On display in front of a whiteboard, the words "library, free to read" the words, regarded brand. Previously,scarpe hogan uomo, he was located in the high school library, and do not open the townspeople.

Coming and going on the road, but no one went into the library.

"A long time, someone will come in." Young father is actually very relaxed, teasing the arms of children, from time to time to laugh.

Five years ago a winter, Liying Jiang to the rural areas of Henan travel. Villages from a passing train window, many seem depressed. Rural origin, he has friends and colleagues talk about the topic of the countryside. They talk to the decline of the countryside, and talk to the farmers barren spiritual world, talk to the "Everyone's home in the fall," the same title series.

At that time, Liying Jiang just got a master's degree certificate, NGO working in a Beijing, concerned about China's modernization, and the emergence of a series of problems in the process.

"Everyone's home in the fall" was originally written by a scholar of Sichuan, in the article to the high school where he himself as the starting point, extended to his concerns about the entire community. The authors emphasize the text: "the beginning of a downward force debut, which restrain the upward force originally rising with the times."

Article caused a lot of people's sympathy. Since then, some people began to write articles with the title, description and reflect on their own home "occupied."

"I almost read all the articles written home fall each person's home in the fall, we can not do something about it?" Liying Jiang said.

Home for him, is a close and distant places. Since 1997 left his rural home, to the field in college, he has been living in the city. Every time back home, he will not stay long time.

Even a short stay home depressed also left a deep impression. Sichuan scholars who wrote in an article:. "My hometown is full all day today ...... consumed in the mahjong in the crowd, as well as children under the educators were forced to fake the kidnapping" This scene, also qichun County appear, also appear bluestone town.

secondary school, this is called bluestone town where there are several "pursuit" of a small bookstore, and the state-run Xinhua Bookstore, will sell some "open the door to the world," the books.

Today, the small bookstore disappeared. Xinhua Bookstore that is not too large, although still in the town on business, but inside the book has "qualitatively different" and before. In the dimly lit space,prezzo hogan, arrayed in disorder some supplementary materials, science and technology books on the old bookshelf. The town's high school graduates Cai Xiaohai shouted: "These books are out of date, who would buy?"

There are several cafes in town. Every return home, Liying Jiang can always find some wearing red scarf or children in school uniforms, appeared in the smoke-filled cafes, playing a variety of games. Some games, and even pornographic images appear.

After high school, Liying Jiang came to town. At that time the county's cultural atmosphere, so that he is full of passion and imagination. At that time, the county seat cinema will show some good films, where he was seen sci-fi blockbuster "The future of water in the world." And now, still in the movie theater, but has turned into a dance hall.

That he had bought the "Muslim funeral", "White Deer" and "Jane Eyre," "Les Miserables," the bookstore, long gone, replaced by a rent book. In these rent a bookstore, he could see some of the students to read through, Tomb or "little color" of romance books.

"Economic prosperity has not brought to the countryside to enrich the spiritual world." said, "the home of the fall, including many aspects, the most important is the spiritual fall."

When approaching the destination of that journey, Liying Jiang seriously to his friends said he wanted to return to his hometown, for the villagers to build a library. Because "a good library, the equivalent of a university."

"I can not escape, nowhere to hide. I was out of the rural test, I have to go back to the countryside." He said to a friend.

A friend, nodding immediately praised and encouraged him to go ahead.

Shortly thereafter, Liying Jiang began planning the first village library.

Those books, the exam may not help, but the value of life

The first floor of this building red small building, about 200 square meters, along three walls are, standing around bookshelves. Library volunteers will organize different categories of good books, neatly placed on a shelf. Middle of the room stocked with a few white desk, table also littered with some books.

These books have for students to read, as well as high school students reading. Even some of the more "abstruse" book, also appears in the village library. If it is not in front of those basking in the rice, not the road scurry sows, at first glance, like being in the city a taste of bookstores.

Liren library books are carefully selected. once boasted: "on the books in terms of quality, if reading a book a few years in Liren library, much stronger than the average university."

2006 Henan tour ended, he began to write the establishment of rural library offers, and to develop core bibliographic library. In the meantime, he keeps in touch with the academic friends, ask them to recommend appropriate books, and even through the network solicitation.

Liren determine the direction, based on humanistic education as the main content,basket tn pas cher, focus on people's spiritual growth. Humanities (humanity), points to the findings, grow and improve. Comprehensive human spirit sense,hollister france, means that a holistic "person of the modern."

also realized that some citizens Liren to popularize knowledge among young people, development and training of their personality, do experimenter civic education.

Eventually, he developed a suitable elementary, middle and high school students to read books, a total of about 2,000 kinds.

Of which there are nearly 200 kinds of primary bibliography, a simple classic storybook based; high school class titles, content with the grades gradually deepened. Linda "concerns the depths of history" series, Liu Yu, "the details of democracy", as well as Lu Xun, Hu Shi's book,louboutin,http://bbs.jlun.net/home.php?mod=spacecp&ac=blog&blogid=, as well as Qian, Toynbee, Fairbank, Degang, Zhang Hao, Ge Jianxiong, who works all Bibliography of the core columns. Also included Mankiw's "Principles of Economics" and so on.

"Bibliography is the soul of the library. Rural schools do not have good conditions for urban schools, but Liren allow rural students to read at least a high-quality book." Here, Liying Jiang emphatically.

Just the year when college students face of those talking about the city, he had exerted a strong "sense of inferiority." Because secondary school less, some discussion, he almost edgeways. After a long period of time, this inferiority was diluted.

When planning Liren village library, "equality" is through an awareness of them. Although the "hardware" does not equal reality of urban and rural, but Liying Jiang believe, to read the main "software" can fill the gap.

After the bibliography prepared, he started fundraising. This is the most difficult step. A friend recalls that period of time to meet with each ,http://www.aurosiksha.org/login/index.php?item/create_form/1, he is like a "possessed the same" and has repeatedly asked two questions: do not fly? Support does not?

First income is helping his friend Liren logo design donated. When you hear his village library plan, friend plunked 300 dollars. Since then, Liying Jiang constant lobbying, donating money constantly.

At the same time, this trust relationship Peking University Master hometown, home school communication and leadership. His plan is in the school library on the basis of the original, with its core books; library management, recruited volunteers from their own responsible. Because it does not increase the cost of the school,giubbotti moncler, the school immediately agreed.

When "compulsory education" in primary and secondary schools are required to set up around the library, with a certain number of books. However, according to a junior high school principal said, some rural areas of the library is not in the true sense is used. In addition, the types of books too few, mainly to supplementary books, some books are completely "make up the numbers."

Bluestone town high school library as well. A school teacher, who recalls that the library does not even open.

By the end of December 2007, first Liren village libraries, secondary schools in the town of bluestone trial operation, named "Huang Kan library." Since then,peuterey outlet, each opening a new museum, most of the local culture will be named after celebrities. Modern Great Masters Kan was born in bluestone town, so named after him. In Sichuanbazhong, there are civilians and rural construction home educator named James Yen Liren library.

Liying Jiang to this library is equipped with 2000 kinds of books, humanities, social science-based, each of the books each one.

Opening day, the weather was cold. After class, students will be poured into the library. This library is only 52 seats, was packed. There are a lot of students waiting outside, the inside of the students came out, someone to squeeze.

This state lasted for nearly a month. To this end, he had to limit the number of students, and invited 60 people to do a scrivener board, only to get the scrivener board before entering. Even so, libraries often have students waiting in line.

Cai Xiaohai temple was being read, when there is a teacher in the class, specifically mentioned Liren Library, to encourage more students to the library to study.

"Those books, the exam may not help, but the value of life." I remember the teacher said so little sea.

Rural education revolution, beginning from the village library

From the outset, in an educational way to explore it. This is the most central location Liren library.

In a speech, he said: "You see hundreds of thousands of Chinese teenagers in this information is so advanced, so multi-age learning,peuterey uomo, still the lowest efficiency 'is learning'; you see millions of Chinese Youth, after the so-called university education after the fall into unemployment, confusion, inability to self-development, family and social incompetence on; you see every child, from a very young age, they begin to be exam, ranked and discrimination defendant dense, humiliation, was to spend, do not you sad? "

Therefore, he hoped he could provide one for teenagers, "self-learning, self-liberation, self-adult" of the road, so that education return to its essential function, namely, Liren. The rural education revolution, "when the rural libraries began."

This and experiences related teenager. In his elementary school, the local almost no books to read, to see, is that some of the storytelling. Occasional big people get back a book, he would read with great interest.

The older, his life was a negative attitude, ready to drop out, and he would walk away from the more than 10 days. After the house, he found his inner nothing.

"I felt no sense of life. If I can read some quality books, perhaps I would not have dropped out of impulse." Liying Jiang recalled.

As for the pursuit of quality education, Liren Library conducted a series of activities: reading lessons, manual classes, film shows, lectures, winter camps, summer camps. Liying Jiang ideal rural libraries, is not only a learning center, educational base, or a cultural center, spiritual home, and will also serve as a clearinghouse and public platform - people not only obtain from here, but also to give, the more important AC, libraries become rural public life a new beginning.

2008, creation of "high school economics" in the library. Every commenced, there is always dozens of people came to listen.

Cai Xiaohai is his loyal audience, almost always to. In class, small sea learned some economics knowledge, and also learn to analyze economic events with all this knowledge.

After high school, he and several students felt that the school forced students to set milk is wrong, then the investigation together, analyzed together, and finally concluded that the school has a "monopoly" of the suspect, and the analysis published in the students to start their own newspaper. A newspaper, caused "shock the whole school," and finally set the school cancel the milk to the students. For a time, a few of them were students regarded as a "hero."

"If no library this platform, we can not do this step." Cai Xiaohai said with a smile.

Investigation and analysis like this, there are many. For example, the school's waste disposal problem, the cost of the fence, the school's broom Why home faster than bad, and so on.

With a library of this platform, Cai Xiaohai know a lot of friends outside the school. When the weekend break, some people will follow a small sea, to the library to study.

After the small sea and another school student Xiaowei understanding, and they often discuss in the library.

"Why do not you write these questions?" Liying Jiang inspire them.

Both high spirits, called some friends, began in-depth discussion of some of the things that happen in society, but also to set up a newsroom, planning to run a newspaper. Soon after, a small sea-funded 200 dollars, bought an old computer.

The first issue of the newspaper came out, called "generation." After a scholar saw its foreword, refer to "write Road." They have a four newspapers until the team went their separate ways after the entrance.

On one occasion, in order to want to post an article economist Mao Yushi, Cai Xiaohai removed to find their phone. By telephone, he said his idea,http://91yxt.com/bbs/home.php?mod=spacecp&ac=blog&blogid=, Mao Yushi immediately agreed. A few days later, a small sea Mao Yushi also sent to the editorial department received 500 dollars and the number present his book, "Economics in everyday life."

In recent years, the impact to the network began nearly 30 kilometers from the county town of this. Liying Jiang has seen an analysis of teenagers addicted to online games articles. After watching him understand that children addicted to online games, addicted to chatting in the virtual world, in fact, is the education of the disease caused by the natural resistance.

To this end, Liying Jiang pay more attention to cultivate students' interest in reading through interactive library and specialized reading between classes.

Bluestone town are still a few cafes, often you can see some of the child's presence. In this regard, Liying Jiang faint smile: "Libraries at least give them a new choice."

In a summer camp, Liying Jiang organized a debate competition, participants were seven undergraduate and some Qichun high school students at Peking University. He observed that, in the debate tournament, all these high school performance was "very confident", "countered very powerful."

After the debate competition, there are high school students said to him:. "We are not worse than the students."

Liren Library of rural teachers is also a great touch. When Kan library opened, Liying Jiang invited several scholars in Beijing to communicate with teachers and bluestone town. A local teacher still remember the words of one scholar: even under the existing system of rural education, secondary school teachers can make a difference.

Think of home when the library can think of where this warm

One Sunday afternoon,tn pas cher, some students after another walked into this library. This is the busiest time of the library. Students home start back to school, come early, went to the library to see the book.

Or they choose a book on a shelf, or at the table reading, and several also whispered to discuss something. The library has several full-time volunteers, but they almost do not bother these kids.

A fourth grade girls asked: "Uncle, this library will always be open forever?"

Next to a volunteer to answer her: "Yes, always open, do you want to come on when to come."

The little girl is not a local. Her parents work in the town of bluestone, she would follow their parents into elementary school here. Liren library open after school, she often went to school here, especially like to watch cartoons and picture books. She said she often imagine, if there is magic, it will do a lot of things to help the poor.

And before, the little girl said, in addition to their own textbooks, almost no books to read. After dark every day, she had a person to stay home, not doing their homework, watching television.

She did not even playmates. Black was early winter, after dark down, people on the town seems to stop its activities, in addition to speeding car on the road, who could barely see the trail.

There are two small boys, Tianyi dusk every day, they appeared together in the library. They do not like to read, when asked about why I like to play here, the two answer is "no place to play."

This is, Liying Jiang also look in the eyes. "Life could be a rich and brilliant, but most of them are one-dimensional, towards a direction,http://www.365kl.net/home.php?mod=spacecp&ac=blog&blogid=, so do not know what is what rich is brilliant."

So he encouraged volunteers to open more interested in classes, so that Liren library "tangible", "not Wayward Cloud, but dropped to the ground in the rain."

Xiaoting volunteers opened a handmade lesson. More than 10 girls, study with her series bracelet. The girls whisper,http://my.5754.cn/home.php?mod=spacecp&ac=blog&blogid=, not when bursts of laughter. A few days, Xiaoting to leave, two little girls were also sent her a gift.

Night's rest day, the library will put the film. This Liberating the "Sound of Music", the original English version, you can still see some of the children relish.

However, some parents do not buy it. A children often go to the library to study, his father did not agree, always pull the child back home. Children do not want to go back, his father said: "Just look at what is the use of these books into university, you read more of the book is not a farmer??" The children had obediently followed him home.

Volunteers to see this happen too many times, it was very puzzled: "Reading is obviously a good thing, why parents do not want kids to read?"

Later, they went to some students do home visits. In talking to a lot of parents reading the truth, the other party to dismiss the sentence: "to the library, can not go to college?"

Of course, there are some parents to accept the views of volunteers, no longer hard to drag the child home. After study hall the next night, and even some children had to stay until 9:00 pm in the library. 4:00 the next day too, they will get up, get ready for school.

In this remote village high school, students learn every day in the curricular time to reach more than 10 hours.

Even students at the weekend, are still required to have higher grades in school one day. "We're like a machine that does not require a break as well." Said a third-year student.

After high school graduation, not admitted to universities. He went to the field work, "earn 200 yuan a day." During the work, he has been the town's library and bluestone keep in touch. Finally one day, he ran back and live in a library, ready to test again next year. Occasionally, he also volunteers to cook.

"During that time working outside, I often ask myself a question: work is my life you ask yourself every time I deny once I am in pain, so I come back?.." The lips just grow stubble The young man said.

This also should be a said: "If possible, the library has become some people's spiritual home, when he went out from wandering around the countryside, I think of home when the library can think of where this warm."

To let more people feel the library's "warm", Liying Jiang library open to the more rural, more villagers came hope.

Today, the library has 13 Liren Hubei, Henan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Hebei, Jiangxi, Shanxi, Chongqing, Shaanxi, township or county to take root, for the more than 2,000 valid library card, covering the number of people reached million.

A reader, is an apple tree

In early November a Sunday night, Liying Jiang sat for nearly an hour by bus from the city of Kan Qichun library for the town back to bluestone.

Library was empty, a silence. He happily on the door, the presence of the volunteers, said: "Today rewarding, there is a girl reading a book in the afternoon."

We looked at each other, then laughed. Liying Jiang also followed laugh. Volunteer said he also trained several readers, it should be happy.

"As long as we adhere to train hard to readers, I believe there will be many people reading Martin Luther once said:?. Even if tomorrow is the end of the world, I would choose to go out today, planted an apple tree." Liying Jiang began to cheer for everyone.

County library opened for a while. A few weeks ago, almost nobody cares. Even so, they also insist on rest days to open the door.

After dinner, Liying Jiang hide in the room as usual, contact the network and the outside world. He had to raise more money, have to recruit more volunteers. At the same time, he also spread his ideas over and over again. Liren more to build more libraries, money and people to become Liying Jiang headache.

He wrote: "Two roads in the forest, we chose sparsely populated trails are not coerced social fashion trend, not to be intimidated by the difficulties known to the unknown, we choose, we assume that we love,http://thehospoda.com/kunena/13-living-here/9669/reply, we enjoy.."

Other volunteers have their own ways. Part to the first floor, waiting for the arrival of the reader, and the other two were busy on the second floor. Ready to do a reading room on the second floor, shelves of materials have been bought, the volunteers have to assemble their own.

Volunteers here, everyone carries a sub-ideal.

A volunteer, in answer to "Why am I coming man" in question, wrote: "I just hope that these thirteen-year-old children to read more books, broaden their horizons, long experience; they just hope that after graduation the former into the community, which does not appear thinking migrant workers appear less is their only choice;. just hope 10 years after they talk to their children beautiful campus, do not say it is 'pen' "

King for a summer volunteer, Master did not finish, on the application to Liren library. Her reason is very simple, just to do a job I love to do.

Volunteer Yin Hong, just after finishing the separation procedures, in Guangzhou, her monthly salary is 30,000 yuan. Volunteers Leung, a former aircraft factory for the staff, revenue is also expensive. There are volunteers three guns, Zhang, Xiao Ting, punk, trees, etc., every person has a story.

These acts volunteers, often touched . He will be the team's life, as a "living being in the real life" and "life" in the world 'is' a. In this life, "trust, friendship and love, filling the meantime."

Bluestone town who still lives at their own pace, some people go to work, some fine playing mahjong, some people drink and music, and some people got into the cafe ...... still on a busy road during the day, there is still a pig in chaos channeling. Villagers who chat across the library, the library had never walked.

There are volunteers anxious, "can not wait to pull them one by one to come." But always said: "Change will not happen overnight library can do exist in this place,http://www.amarilfranklin.com.br/index.php?option=com_blog&view=blog, is the meaning.."

As long as he cares, or will sit on the doorstep, holding a child in the sun.

I do not know why the little girl smiled, Liying Jiang also smile a. He held it in front of her, to touch her forehead with his forehead.
