不少网友都被张桂梅与学生促膝长谈的这一幕所感动↓


据报道，从17岁支边云南从事林业工作，到创办中国第一所公办免费女子高中，扎根贫困地区40余年的张桂梅一直尽心尽力，帮助1800多名贫困山区女孩圆梦大学。在年复一年的操劳中，她早已疾病缠身。

Although suffering more than a dozen illnesses including emphysema and benign tumors in her skull, Zhang Guimei, founder and principal of Huaping Girls' High School, has never stopped her quest to help girls from impoverished families in the southwestern province of Yunnan receive higher education.

She founded Huaping High School for Girls in 2008. Since the boarding school opened, around 2,000 girls from impoverished families in Yunnan's mountainous regions have been enrolled by universities after taking the national college entrance exam, successfully rewriting their fate.

1997年，张桂梅从云南大理，来到华坪县民族中学工作。到华坪县教书后，张桂梅发现一个现象：“很多女孩读着读着就不见了”。一打听才知道，有的学生去打工了，有的小小年纪就嫁人了。

为此，张桂梅只好一个个地家访，去做思想工作，甚至掏钱为女孩们的家庭解决问题。

2002年，张桂梅决心要成立一所公办免费女子高中，当时许多人都觉得这是个疯狂的想法。

6年后，理想终于照进了现实。2008年9月，在各级党委政府关心支持下，全国第一所公办免费女子高中——丽江华坪女子高级中学正式开学，首届共招收100名女生。

Over time, she began to realize the backwardness of impoverished mountainous regions was mainly due to the lack of education, especially among girls. Many girls dropped out of school as their families believed it was useless for girls to receive advanced education, Zhang said.

She decided to found a free public high school for girls in 2002, an idea many called crazy.

With help from the Party and the local government and personal donations, her idea came into fruition six years later.

学校虽然建成了，但管理上还是出现了很多问题。半年后，100名学生中有6人退学，17名老师中有9人辞职。

强烈的挫败感，让张桂梅心灰意冷。就在她准备撂挑子的时候，却发生了一件小事。

原来，张桂梅整理老师档案时发现，留下的8位老师中，竟有6位都是党员。张桂梅立刻来了精神：有这么多党员，她不信学校办不下去！

于是，她把这6位老师召集起来，带他们在墙上画了党旗。大家对着党旗重新宣誓，宣誓到一半时，每个人都哽咽落泪了。

However, opening the school was just the beginning of new challenges. Most of the first 100 students had a poor academic foundation and six of them decided to drop out of school. Moreover, nine of the school's 17 teachers resigned due to the harsh living and working conditions.

Six of the remaining eight teachers were Party members and they set up the school's Party branch.

The teachers drew the Party flag and the Party oath on the wall. Before they could finish repeating their oath on joining the Party, the teachers all cried.

"With tears in our eyes and fists clenched, we vowed to spare no efforts to send the girls outside the mountains and help them go to universities," Zhang said.

在张桂梅和6位党员的坚守下，全国第一家全免费的公办女子高级中学就这样筹建起来了。建校13年来，华坪女高一共送走1800多名毕业生，一本上线率从最初的4.26%升至超44.02%，综合上线率一直保持100%。

张桂梅就像“峡谷里的灯盏”，照亮大山女孩的梦想，影响着越来越多的人。她却淡然地说：“我就是个山村女教师，还是个老党员，事情不是我一个人做的。”

而如今，这份爱还在一直传递下去。今年的华坪女高新生杨丽梅表示，她下决心要在高中三年里好好拼一下，学成后回报曾经帮助过她的人。
