At the beginning of last month, the media reported on the "Doctor Wall" in Yangtian Village, Shashi Town, Liuyang City, Hunan Province - one village produced 21 PhDs and more than 100 master's degrees.

What are the secrets of this highly productive PhD village? The annual college entrance examination is coming soon.

A few days ago, a reporter from Slow News-Chongqing Evening News visited Yangtian Village. Through on-site visits and careful inspections, they tried to explore educational issues more deeply, thereby portraying this contemporary sample of rural education in China.

Tan Sitong once said: "We in Liuyang have great morale and great humanities." "If we work together to strengthen ourselves, we must start in Liuyang." Tan Sitong, a native of Liuyang, Hunan, was a man of genius, wisdom, and rare sharpness.

Two sentences from more than a hundred years ago summarize the sample of rural education today.

It is also a prophecy.

On an April day in Mengxia, the drizzle is like crisp, the vegetation in Yangtian Village is blooming, and the mountains and rivers are deep and beautiful.

The "Doctor's Wall" can be seen far outside the village, a wall not found in other villages.

From the village head to Doctor Wall, there is a straight road with some shops on both sides of the road.

Doctor's Wall is in the center of the village, at the intersection of several roads.

No matter which direction you enter from, you cannot bypass it.

Clearly, a lot of thought went into the location.

The wall is small, rectangular, with a white background, just like a wall where slogans were written decades ago.

The three big characters "Doctor's Wall" are extremely dazzling, with Chinese Pinyin below them.

Above the words is a doctor's hat, with a popular line on each side - "Knowledge changes destiny, culture breeds virtue." There are 19 doctors on the wall, including names, profiles, and photos.

Only Luo Xuangan, who is in his 80s, has no photo. He is the first doctor to come out of Yangtian Village, a doctor from Harvard University.

There are also PhDs from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and Nankai University... Among them, 8 are female PhDs.

An aerial view of Yangtian Village and Laodao River shows the year of birth of the statistical doctors. There are two in 1987, three in 1985, and four in 1984. The university where each doctor attended is also written on the profile.

The family even has two PhDs - brothers Luo Hongtao and Luo Honglang are PhDs from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Villager Luo Bibo's brother Luo Qing and daughter Luo Zhaojing are doctors.

The law of "virtue never comes out" is broken.

There is also a text on the wall, which mainly talks about the tradition of emphasizing education in Yangtian Village, which is also a short answer to Doctor Village.

Some flowers and plants are planted in the fence in front of the wall, and there is a statue of Confucius among the flowers and plants.

"A gentleman seeks the way but not food", Confucius emphasizes teaching but not farming, which is slightly inconsistent with the characters on the wall "diligence in cultivation, emphasis on teaching, farming, reading and inheritance".

On the contrary, Tan Sitong's educational thoughts are consistent with this. After all, he is from Liuyang and has Liuyang's belief in "focusing on farming and studying".

Yangtian village cadre Tang Huahao was responsible for building the doctoral wall. Why build the doctoral wall? Village cadre Tang Huahao knew best. She was responsible for the whole thing.

At that time, many people said that Yangtian Village had produced so many Ph.D.s, but no one knew exactly how many, which family produced the Ph.D., and where they studied.

Old secretary Luo Zeji consulted with her to build a doctor's wall to display all the doctors in Yangtian Village, which was also a major feature.

"I started preparing for this in March 2015, contacting each family one by one, and it was completed in October." "There are still two doctors who have not been on the wall, one has not been contacted, and the other is a Ph.D. student at Hangzhou University.

"Tang Hua said that he would add it as soon as possible, and the PhD wall also needs to be improved. The introduction should be unified and standardized, the information should be complete, and there should be room for new PhDs.

Zhong Lingyu's beauty cannot be fully expressed by a wall.

Before 7 o'clock in the morning, children in twos and threes walked from the other side of the village, leisurely, passing by the doctor's wall, and went to the village primary school 200 meters away for early reading.

They are still young and may not know the significance of the doctor's wall, but they pass by here every day and have been nurtured and nurtured over the years.

Primary school students in Yangtian Village write calligraphy with brushes. Eryangtian Village is a medium-sized village with 1,288 households.

In addition to 21 doctorates, more than 100 masters and more than 600 college students have been awarded in the past 30 years.

On average, two families have one college student, and 12 families have one master's degree student.

Yangtian Village is not much different from other villages in Liuyang City, Hunan Province.

Perhaps many people think that children here are smarter than other children; perhaps they think that school education here is very different from other places.

Chen Yongchao, principal of Yangtian Complete Primary School, doesn’t think so, and neither do the villagers.

Qu Weiyuan's daughter, Qu Ting, is the first female doctorate in Yangtian Village, and her son has a bachelor's degree.

Qu Weiyuan still retains the certificate of honor his daughter received when she was in school. Qu Ting said that she and her brother have no special talents.

Qu Weiyuan is an ordinary farmer in Yangtian Village.
