This semester, a new Chinese education class was opened in Yuhu Town Central Primary School of Wencheng County Interestingly, most of the students who follow the teachers to learn "a, O, e" are teenagers As a famous hometown of overseas Chinese, the Chinese education in our city has been well-known in the field of overseas Chinese The reporter learned from the Municipal Office of overseas Chinese affairs that at present, the whole city is basically carried out in the form of Chinese education classes for school-age children and short-term Chinese training classes Such a full-time primary school Chinese education class specially for over age students is the first in the city Dilemma: Wencheng County is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in our city Yuhu town accounts for more than 40000 of the 100000 overseas Chinese in the county, and the number of left behind in the town is only more than 10000 In recent years, Yuhu town welcomes a group of special "villagers" to primary school every year - they grew up in foreign countries and have become "banana people" (with Oriental appearance and westernized heart) Zhou Feng, headmaster of Yuhu Town Central Primary School, said that in the past ten years, overseas Chinese abroad have found that their children have grown up, they are not able to speak Chinese at all, and they are a little worried Therefore, some people send their children back to their hometown to learn their mother tongue and Chinese culture from Pinyin alphabet, hoping that future generations will not forget their roots "In our school, half of the students come back from abroad." Among them, there is another special group Although their language level is equivalent to that of preschool children, they are already in their teens and twenties "Before, the only way was to join the class and read If you think about it, it's one meter, six or seven years old when I stand up I'm sitting in a classroom with a group of six or seven year old dolls Although my Chinese foundation is almost the same, my math and other classes are not at the same level at all It is a kind of trouble for students' study and teachers' curriculum design " President Zhou said There are recruitment: the number of newly opened characteristic Chinese classes is increasing year by year, and the total number of over age students this year has reached 60 Therefore, the school made a decision: to set up a special "characteristic class" for these children to receive systematic Chinese education This is a small class of 20 students This year's new "little overseas Chinese" are studying in this class In order to change the learning environment infrequently, the children who have joined the class remain in the original class The reporter learned that this full-time class has a three-year schooling system, which is divided into three grades: junior, middle and senior In addition to the increase of Chinese courses, the reduction of mathematics, science and other disciplines that older children have mastered, the addition of calligraphy, traditional culture, computer Chinese input and other characteristic courses In the eyes of Hu Lingmei, the head teacher, these children are very sensible because of their age, and they are teachers' little helpers; and because of their education abroad, their thinking is active, and they are very active in the classroom, which gives a good start to other students Of course, different classroom rules and living habits are also the new content they need to learn Going to stay: Hu Jinsheng, an 18-year-old boy with different ideas, is the "boss" of the class He has graduated from high school in Italy and speaks fluent Italian while stuttering in Chinese He returned to his hometown two or three months ago to study Chinese culture However, he said frankly, "I'm not used to classes here I prefer Italian life I can travel whenever I have time, but I can only stay at home every day in China, which is a bit restrained " He plans to go back to Italy to continue his studies as soon as he finishes his studies here Hu Huihui, a four-year-old girl from Italy, doesn't think so In Italy, she has always been unable to integrate into her classmates' circle there, and always felt very lonely Although she just returned home after six months of tutoring to adapt to the Chinese environment, now, her classmates have the same family background, and it's easy to talk with each other and feel very kind She also said that it was too loose to go to school abroad Instead, she worked hard after coming back to study and wanted to stay at home after finishing her studies How do they spend the Mid Autumn Festival with their parents? "At home with grandparents, through the Internet and mom and dad video meet" is the answer for most children They seem to have understood their parents' hard work and their love in this land.
