Characters: Tu Jia's mother, He Laoshi, President Zhang, Xiaoling (monitor), Lin Lin's iron egg is chubby.

Scene: In the classroom of Tujia teaching class.

Time: early morning

[Sitting in front of the desk, Tu Jia fell asleep and the desk lamp was still on. ]

Tu Jia: (Yi Yi Ya) Dad ... Dad. ...

A woman (Tu Jia's mother) ran to the stage and woke her up. 〕

Mutu: Jiajia, Jiajia.

[Tu Jia wakes up from a dream]

Tu Jia: Mom ...

Mutu: Jia Jia, what's the matter?

Tu Jia: (hesitates) Oh, nothing. (Straightening up) What time is it?

Mutu: It's still early. Go to bed and have a rest.

[Tu Jia grabs the watch and looks at it]

Tu Jia: Ah, it's six o'clock. I have to get up. Children should come to class late.

[Tu Jia stands up, but can't stand steadily, and sits back in the chair]

Mutu: What is it, Jia Jia?

Tu Jia: Nothing, just a little dizzy.

Mutu: Look at you. You don't work hard. You haven't had a good rest these days. How can I eat well?

Tu Jia: Mom, I am in good health.

Mutu: I raised you. I don't know. What about you? (Touching Tu Jia's forehead) Yo, it's a little hot. You have a fever.

Tu Jia: How come? I tried to stand up, but I was held down by Mutu.

Mutu: Being sick is no small matter. You need to take your medicine quickly. I'll get it for you. (looking for medicine in the drawer)

Tu Jia: Mom, it's not that serious. The doctor says that an occasional fever is also good for your health.

Mutu: Doctor? The doctor also said that if you are sick, treat it quickly. Come on, take your medicine.

Tu Jia: Yes, yes, mom. (making faces. Take the medicine. )

Mutu: (caressing Tu Jia's head) Look, this year has made you tired. Everyone is thin and black. If your father sees it, I don't know how distressed it will be.

Tu Jia: (hesitates) Actually, Mom, I just dreamed about Dad. When dad left, he held my hand in front of the hospital bed. ...

Mutu: (covering up) Well, why mention him after all this time?

Tu Jia: Mom, (holding mom's hand) you are in poor health. Dad told me to take care of you in every possible way, and now you are here suffering with me. I shouldn't have brought you here.

Mutu: Silly boy, what's the matter? Mother is also happy to accompany those innocent and lively children every day.

Tu Jia: But look at this condition. The classroom where we live is full of wind and rain. I don't care, but there is something wrong with your waist. You won't catch a cold.

Mutu: A year has passed. Bad for me? A piece of paper fell to the ground, and Mutu bent down to pick it up, but her back pain stopped her.

Tu Jia: (picks up the paper first) Mom, does your waist hurt again? Let me press it for you.

Mutu: Nothing.

[Tu Jia has helped her mother to start back massage]

Mutu: Jia Jia, when you said that you were going to take a year off as a graduate student to teach, your father and I disagreed, for fear that you could not stand the hardships here. Guangxi is inferior to Zhejiang.

Tu Jia: I know, but we need volunteers here. Every time I see a child who can't read because of poverty on TV, I feel pain from my heart. Their curious eyes are branded in my heart and whip my conscience all the time. Although my personal strength is very meager, I will try my best to bring them more hope.

Mutu: Dear daughter, I know. Mom knows, and so does your father.

Tu Jia: Mom, you and Dad were educated youths. They teach in the countryside, don't they?

Mutu: Yes, we all came to the west and met in the west. Life was difficult at that time, but he always said optimistically that the scenery in the west was beautiful and the people were simple and kind.

Tu Jia: Your love is so romantic. I didn't really understand what my father said until now. These simple villagers and children always smile so sweetly at me. Their rough hands and delicate hands always hold me for a long time. Their hearts are like the sky here.

Mutu: You are here to give them hope. In fact, although your father loves you dearly and doesn't want you to suffer here, he still supports you in his heart. He has always been proud of having your daughter. I hope you can achieve something here.

Tu Jia: Yes, Mom, look. (Show the paper to mom) I stayed up late these days to grade the final exam paper. You see, at the end of this semester, the class performance has improved again, even surpassing the key classes, especially the political class I taught, with an average score of first place in the whole grade!

[Mutu smiles and nods]

Tu Jia: And Linlin, you know, her father died of drug abuse. Only she lives with her grandmother, and her family is poor.

Mutu: The last wild girl in the class who didn't like studying at the beginning of school?

Tu Jia: Right. But she won the first place in the class this time!

Mutu: Really?

Tu Jia: Of course! Take a look.

Mutu: Well, you've finally worked in vain. You spent most of your thoughts on her.

Tu Jia: That depends on her own subjective efforts. You see, there are also iron eggs and chubby piers, and their grades have also improved a lot.

Mutu: Well, well, if your father knows something underground, he will laugh happily.

Tu Jia: (looking at his watch) Oh, it's getting late. I have to get ready quickly. Here come the children.

Mutu: You have a fever and stayed up all night. It's hard. Get more rest. Anyway, the class is also in this classroom, so I won't interfere.

Tu Jia: No, it's a mess here. I have to clean it up. In addition, today may be the last lesson of my teaching life this year. (there is a pause. Step on it with a washbasin)

[Mutu looks at Tu Jia's back and shakes his head with a smile, helping Tu Jia clean up the things on the table]

[Principal takes the stage]

Principal: Is Teacher Tu there, please?

Mutu: President Zhang, please come in. Jaga just went out and will be back soon. Please sit down first.

Principal: Thank you. (Sit down. Sister He, it's been a hard year for you. Our conditions are bad and our housing is tight. I'm sorry that you and Mr. Tu live in the classroom.

Mutu: Never mind, never mind. Jia Jia also said that it is more convenient to live and work in the classroom. And the classroom is spacious, bigger than my two-bedroom room, hehe.

Principal: Sister He, you are really a good person. Teacher Tu is really a good teacher. She did her duty this year and her grades in this poor class have improved a lot.

Mutu: You're welcome, headmaster. You're a good leader.

Principal: I heard that you are in poor health, right?

Mutu: Nothing, just my stomach and waist are a little uncomfortable.

Principal: (taking out the paper bag) I brought some plasters, which were given by an old man who looked after the forest farm. They are our earthworks, but they are very effective in treating back pain and joint pain. Please try them.

Mutu: Oh, Governor Zhang, how dare you say that.

Principal: Sister He, don't mention it. Take it. The old man is not an outsider, and his granddaughter is a girl from Shangjiang Middle School, which is funded by Teacher Tu.

Mutu: Oh, that Sasha. How is she now?

Principal: Good. I went back to school. I heard that my grades are still very good and I am among the best in my class.

Mutu: That's good. ...

[Xiaoling, Iron Egg and Linlin take the stage]

Student: Good morning, President Zhang.

Principal: Oh, good morning. Are you all in class?

Xiaoling: Yes.

Principal: Teacher Tu has just gone out. Please sit down and read by yourself for a while.

Student: OK.

[The headmaster and Mutu continue to talk in a low voice. Xiaoling and Linlin are sitting in their seats, and the iron egg curiously looks at the papers and transcripts on Tu Jia's desk]

Iron egg: Look, the final grade has come out. Guess who won the first place in the exam?

Lin Lin: It must be Xiaoling. She is the monitor. When did she not win the first place?

Iron egg: Wrong! Linlin, you are the first this time!

Lin Lin: Are you kidding? I can get the first place in the exam.

[Linlin and Xiaoling go to see, and the headmaster leans over]

Principal: Hey, did you grade your paper correctly this time?

Mutu: That's right. This time, Linlin really won the first prize.

[Tu Jia returns to the stage]

Tu Jia: What are you talking about?

Iron egg: Teacher Tu, you are so quick. You have finished approving all the documents so quickly.

Tu Jia: Yes, Linlin won the first place in our class this time.

Zhong: She is really the first!

Principal: Of course, son. (Touching Linlin's head)

Xiaoling: Teacher Jia Jia takes time to make up lessons for Linlin almost every day.

Tu Jia: There has never been a difference between an excellent student and a poor student in study, only diligence and hard work. Although Linlin didn't do well in the past, everyone worked hard this year. Her progress is a good example. Let's all congratulate her.

[Applause]

Tu Jia: Linlin, let's say something.

LIN LIN: (Sorry) I got what I got today because of the help of Teacher Jia Jia. I used to give up on myself because of my family. I don't study hard and often give you trouble. However, Mr. Jia Jia does not discriminate against me. She cares about me, takes care of me in every way, and even subsidizes me and my grandmother, pays my tuition and helps me make up lessons. I am very grateful to Mr. Jia Jia, who helped me achieve today's results.

[Everyone applauds more warmly]

Principal: It's my turn to speak. Students, I also have good news for you. Through the efforts of Teacher Tu, the League branch of her alma mater, Zhejiang Normal University, has paired up with us, and they will help you finish junior high school and high school.

[everyone's excited discussion]

Principal: In addition, Teacher Tu's alma mater also invested 10,000 yuan to build a Hope Library here. Now that the books and the first batch of books are in place, our library will be built soon, and everyone will have more books to read!

[Applause warmly]

[Humpty Dumpty Lame]

Iron egg: Here comes Xiao Pang.

Lin Lin: Ah! Blood!

Xiaoling: Fatty, what happened to your leg?

Tu Jia: Pangpang, where have you been? What happened to the leg?

Pangdun: Sister, this is sandalwood I picked specially. To aunt he.

Tu Jia: chubby ...

Pangpang: Aunt, here you are! My mother said that Aralia elata is good for treating stomach diseases. You and your sister came all the way from Zhejiang, so hard and in poor health, and you still take care of us these days. I appreciate you, but I don't have anything of value to you and my sister. I have to pick some sandalwood. You ate it to nourish your stomach.

Mutu: Pangpang, thank you! But don't take it off again, okay? The place where taro grows is very dangerous. Look ... you broke this leg. Aunt will help you rub the medicine. (Pull Xiao Pang aside to rub medicine)

Xiaoling: Teacher, you are leaving, aren't you?

Tu Jia: Who did you hear that?

Lin Lin: Aren't you coming for a year?

Tu Jia: ...

Xiaoling: Teacher, we know that you are leaving soon, and we have prepared a present for you today. This is the egg laid by my hen just this morning. You have worked hard to teach us more.

Linlin: Sister, this is the lily I picked. You once said to me, I hope I can be as pure as lily, instead of being fascinated by beautiful poppies like my father. In my eyes, you are as beautiful as a lily and as kind as my own sister.

Tu Jia: Thank you, thank you.

Xiaoling: Iron egg, where's your present?

Iron egg: (takes out a cloth bag from his pocket, unfolds it carefully and holds it in his hand) Sister, you have a hard class and often cough, but I can't afford a teacup ... I carved it myself. Please accept it. Although it is only carved with chalk, it can't really be used for drinking water. I hope you like it.

Tu Jia: Thank you, Iron Egg. My sister will take good care of it. Yes, class, this is my last lesson here. Everyone has made great progress this year, but our road is far from complete. I will board the train back to Zhejiang tomorrow, but I hope that after I leave, you can keep the current momentum and study hard all the time. My classmates and teachers will give you the greatest help, and I will keep in touch with you.

Linlin: Sister, I don't want you to go. ...

Tu Jia: Linlin, be good, I'm leaving, but our torch is not broken. The next teacher from the teacher's alma mater is already on the train from Xilai. Her name is Zhang, and she is also your teacher!

All: teachers!

Tu Jia: OK, let's start the last lesson. Students, please return to your seats and turn to page 67 of your textbook.

Student: Outside, outside the window, outside the mountain, abroad; Fly, the plane flies, the stupid bird flies first, fly and fly. ...
