The Faint Glow of Fireflies, a Beacon of Hope

In response to the call of "promoting the balanced allocation of high - quality educational resources", Sichuan Nanchong Longmen Middle School actively responded to and implemented the "Excellent Teacher Assistance and Training Program" in ethnic areas of Sichuan Province. In March 2025, the school dispatched two backbone teachers, Chen Tao, a history teacher, and Li Xian, a math teacher, to Luobulin No.1 Middle School (formerly Ganzi County Ethnic Middle School) and Ganzi County No.2 Middle School in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture to carry out teaching - support work. With their missions as boats and original aspirations as rudders, they spread the seeds of knowledge on the snowy plateau, and with their noble professional ethics and excellent qualities, they are vigorously writing a chapter of responsibility and dedication of Longmen teachers.

Arriving at the Plateau with Smiles to Warm Hearts

The first ray of sunlight pierced through the thin mist on the plateau. The light on the snow - capped peaks intertwined with the heartbeat in the thin air, forming the prelude to their arrival. The high - altitude reaction hit them like a blunt instrument striking their temples. The swaying bus finally stopped on the land at an altitude of 3,400 meters. The vehicle of the Ganzi County Education Bureau drove on the icy road. The white hadas and the greetings of "Tashi Delek", along with the smoky smell of burning yak dung, spread the respect and expectation from afar on the snowy land.

Imparting Knowledge and Skills for Wisdom Transmission

While actively overcoming the relatively severe high - altitude reaction, Chen Tao and Li Xian quickly adapted to the new living environment. With a responsible and mission - fulfilling work attitude, they rapidly entered the new state of educational and teaching work. They rooted themselves in the front - line of teaching and used "mentorship" as a link to deeply implant advanced educational concepts into the plateau classrooms. From carefully deliberating over every word in lesson plan writing to meticulously polishing every detail in classroom teaching, they provided hands - on guidance to local young teachers. Through repeatedly revising lesson plans, attending classes throughout the process, and having post - class review and exchanges, they helped the teacher team improve their teaching abilities. Outside the classroom, their figures were often seen moving between classrooms and dormitories. They sorted out historical contexts for Maiduo and helped Gangcuo overcome math problems. Through one - on - one personalized tutoring, they lit up the knowledge blind spots of students.

History Classes on the Plateau: A Butter Lamp Illuminating Time and Space Coordinates

Maiduo, a senior high school girl, was obsessed with history but always lost her way in time and space coordinates. Teacher Chen Tao used a mind map as a boat, linking the influences of politics, economy, and culture on history, and also incorporated Tibetan regional culture, enabling Maiduo's historical boat to steadily move forward in the ocean of knowledge.

Math Classes on the Plateau: Gesang Flowers Dancing with Functions

Teacher Li Xian deeply rooted mathematical thinking in the plateau soil, allowing rigorous formulas to be infused with the warmth of life. She led local teacher Zhou Jing to jointly build a "Tibetan - style math resource library". The weekly teaching - support classes were always full. The dense annotations on the lesson plans and the whole - hearted lectures in class were all testimonies of wisdom and responsibility.

Home Visits and Teaching by Trekking over Mountains

During the May Day holiday, Teacher Chen Tao embarked on a home - visit journey in Sertar. Visiting the families of Gangcuo, Zhouji, and five other students, he became a "mobile classroom". He used stories of the rise and fall of the Tubo Dynasty and the Red Buddha Kingdom to ignite students' enthusiasm for learning. At the parent - teacher meeting, he shared scientific educational methods, allowing the warmth of knowledge to spread from the classroom to families. He measured his sense of responsibility with his footsteps and conveyed hope through home visits.

Little Acts of Kindness Building Dreams Together

In their spare time, Teacher Li Xian chatted and played games with students, walked into dormitories to listen to their lives and dreams, having heart - to - heart talks with them; she also hiked to nearby villages and had fireside chats with villagers, experiencing the most simple plateau customs. Smiles and dreams were quietly growing on the plateau.

The faint glow accumulates into a torch, and the Gesang flowers bloom. Teacher Chen Tao and Teacher Li Xian are step by step, with heart and emotion, writing the due dedication of educators on the land of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Although the glow of a firefly is faint, it will eventually converge into a galaxy. We firmly believe that with the hard work and wisdom of more teaching - support teachers, the Gesang flowers will bloom in the nourishment of civilization, and the light of education will surely illuminate the dreams of more plateau children.
