Chapter 834 Memories 1
At that time, the land had just stabilized.
Everyone is busy recuperating and rebuilding their homes, and the vast majority of people are working hard for food and clothing.
Rich people were able to receive a good education before, and they still can.
And those low-level civilians can't even fill their stomachs, so how can they have the time and energy to study?
In the beginning, this school called "You'an School" could not enroll many students at all.
There were even some pretentious "noble literati" who mocked her in the newspapers, saying that she was a woman and she was too old to think about getting married and having children and staying at home, so she still learned from ancient sages and sages to run schools.
Li Youan didn't care about them.
She appeased the teachers whom she invited over, and began to lobby in the streets and alleys of Pingcheng.
Those families with school-age children were moved when they heard that there was a school that did not charge tuition fees for the first two years, and even provided them with steamed buns for lunch.
In this way, You'an Academy recruited the first batch of students and started formal teaching.
Two years later, lunch was no longer free, and more than half of the people left.
A small half of the people stayed.
If you are interested in going to the library, look through the history of the former You'an School and the current You'an Middle School, and you will find that most of the dozens of first graduates of You'an Middle School have become The pillar talents of Huaguo.
It is worth mentioning that most of them have stated in their memoirs: When it comes to the person who has the greatest influence on them in life, there is no doubt that it is Mr. Youan.
Mr. Zhu Tang, a famous biologist in Huaguo, said in an interview in his later years: "In fact, my original intention to go to school was just for the two steamed buns per meal, because my family is too poor, and the lunch at school is The only meal I can eat. Two years later, I choose to stay in the school, not because I love to study, I just want to learn more things so that I can find a good job and make more money. I want to stand out, want to Have a good time."
When the white-haired old man said this, he couldn't help laughing, smiling, and nostalgia appeared in his wise eyes: "At that time, there were many classmates who thought the same as me, but when we graduated At that time, Mr. Youan recommended us to study in a higher institution. At that time, everyone thought: Hey, I have learned so many things. If I can’t do something for this country and our compatriots like Mr. How can I not feel ashamed in my heart?"
"Sir, she really taught us a lot."
At the end, this humorous old gentleman also put an easter egg for everyone: "Actually, the name Zhu Tang was chosen for me by my husband. My family is a pork seller. What name can I get? I went to school. At that time, it was called Zhu Dan."
Another architect, Mr. Zhang Qizhen was also interviewed.
"I am very grateful to Mr. You'an, she broke my perception of women," she said.
Ms. Zhang Qizhen is one of the few female students in the first batch of students in You'an Academy, and she is also a rare student from a wealthy family.
"Although my family has no worries about food and clothing, the education for girls is very simple. Teach some female celebrities to settle accounts, and it is enough if they can read a few words."
Zhang Qizhen said: "My two elder brothers both go to school, but my father won't let me go, saying that I'm from a girl's family, and it's useless to go to school."
