The new crown is heartless and reckless。With the cooperation of the Party's leadership and people from all walks of life, Wuhan, which has been closed for 76 days, has finally pressed the restart button。However, at the same time, the international situation is not optimistic, and people can not help but lament that in this long war against the epidemic, no nation or country can be immune。

The education staff and the Party members of the International Department come from different departments of the university。During the epidemic, they have fulfilled their duties and fulfilled their vows with hard work。In the international Department, where foreign staff make up the majority, the task of epidemic prevention and online teaching is particularly difficult。Although the number of party members in the International Department is small, they have always practiced their original intentions and missions in the front line of epidemic prevention, safeguarding the normal operation of the school and the physical and mental health of students。

"Do not forget the original heart, forge ahead。”

-- Li Wenping, Executive President of International Department

On the second day of the New Year, it was too late to get together with my family, and I just returned to my hometown and drove back to Beijing, starting the day of "open eyes and work until dark"。No one can predict the trend of the epidemic, and I have never let go of that string, so I have been sticking to it from the end of January until now...

As the executive president of the International Department and the "great parent" in everyone's mind, I organized party members of the International Department, Chinese and foreign staff members to actively carry out detailed and thorough epidemic prevention work。The outbreak of the epidemic was during the winter vacation, and the foreign teachers of the International Department were distributed all over the world. In the face of overwhelming and difficult to distinguish the true and false news, many foreign teachers questioned the domestic situation。I organized Chinese employees to collect official news related to the epidemic for foreign teachers every day, publicize the positive measures of the government, and share warm and touching stories of the fight against the epidemic with them。Soon, foreign teachers gradually stabilized their mentality and actively engaged in online teaching。Some foreign teachers record videos of their life in China, and some foreign teachers even change the Chinese national flag as their wechat avatar. They pass on China's positive energy to the world through themselves!

Children not only need "the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear", but also need "family affairs, state affairs and everything concerned".。The students of the International Department initiated and organized various actions to assist the disaster areas and help the people around them。I was touched by the children's kindness and proud of their social responsibility at a young age。I believe that this epidemic is the most vivid lesson for children about the feelings of family and country。The vivid characters and ordinary but great stories in the fight against the epidemic will be remembered in the hearts of children, telling them to respect life and have the courage to take responsibility。

"Party members, take responsibility。”

-- Dong Wenbo, Deputy Director of the International Department and member of the Party Branch Organization Committee

This outbreak has greatly tested every role in schools, including teachers, students, and parents。Unexpected events always take people by surprise。In the case of an outbreak of the epidemic, my first consideration is how to give students and parents a reassuring positive energy as an educator;As a Chinese, how to convey China's powerful measures to foreign teachers and foreign students。Because of this, since the outbreak of the epidemic, I have never felt tired of various complicated epidemic prevention work, and I have been strict with myself as a Party member。

I always feel great responsibility and pride for being a Chinese and a Party member。I hope to actively pass on this responsibility and responsibility to everyone around me, and I am also deeply encouraged by the Party members around me。It is in this spirit of unity and solidarity that our epidemic prevention work has been carried out in an orderly manner, and the teaching and student management of the school have not slackened at all。Seeing the students of the International Department raise money to help the affected areas, teach online, help their neighbors in the community, and initiate various positive online activities on their own, I was deeply moved。This is the kind of student the International Department wants to train!

"Teachers escort you, you ignite the hope of China!"

-- Li Jingjing, leader of Chinese class preparation in Primary School

In such a special period, everyone pays silently in their ordinary posts, and what I can do is to do the responsibility of a teacher, first of all, to appease the children's emotions, give them a positive impact with a bright smile, and relieve their young minds of anxiety and pressure。The second is to do a good job of each online course, small to the setting of online course background, large to the course arrangement, must be carefully considered。In view of the age characteristics and practical difficulties of primary school children, the teachers have held many meetings to discuss and formulate appropriate curriculum content. Chinese online courses are rich and diverse, covering basic knowledge, sinology, writing, reading, hands-on practice and so on。Chinese teaching has been carried out step by step, and various activities have been wonderful。

During the special period, the Chinese course of the International Department launched a learning project for the epidemic - "Often and Very", which led the children to understand the touching stories that happened around them, feel the power of great love, learn to protect themselves, and scientifically cope with the epidemic。Under the encouragement and guidance of the teachers, the children used their favorite forms to make "voices" for the epidemic, making posters, adapting lyrics, creating and editing picture books, and writing poems。Each piece of work is full of truth and power，A Chinese child who grew up abroad wrote in a picture book: "China needs you!Support your country!Come on, Wuhan!Come on China!"Student in the International Department，Some contribute to the community，Some initiate voluntary service，Some donated money and goods，Use their own meager strength to ignite hope，I was deeply moved by the children's love and feelings of home and country。

Various works created by students for the epidemic

"Under the epidemic situation, we will carry out rich online art courses to encourage and guide students to create art.。”

-- Art teacher Gao Xiangyun

This battle without smoke is a test for everyone。Unity and solidarity are the core forces that win victory。For the first time in my life, I did not go out for several months, concerned about the latest progress of the epidemic every day, and actively participated in the anti-epidemic donation activities organized by my party branch to make a contribution。In the face of the current situation that children do not have art materials at home, how to complete the online teaching of art classes in a special period, I actively think about learning and summary reflection。

In the face of the epidemic, I can't go to the front line to fight the epidemic like doctors and soldiers, what I can do is to protect my family and do my own work。As a teacher, I carefully prepare every lesson, hoping to bring rich art lessons to children through the screen。Children get creative and create art using items readily available at home。The students' works not only reflect their understanding of art, but also are full of love for life and confidence in overcoming the epidemic。

"Long hours at home can still be fulfilling and productive。”

-- Qian Chao, leader of Chinese High School class preparation Group

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, as a head teacher, I have kept in close contact with students and their parents, and have also understood the anxiety and unease in the minds of students。For this reason, I opened a personal wechat public account and wrote a letter to the students。

At the end of the letter, I wrote, "I know that life at home can be a little boring, and I, like you, spend most of my time between my bed and my electronic screen。But it's also a rare opportunity to enjoy a long, intimate time at home with your parents and focus on food and vegetables;Have a good rest, keep a good mood, and remember to say safe to the teacher every day。You won't be able to travel thousands of miles for a while, but books can help you navigate to another world, and good digital resources and TV shows will enrich your soul。I also hope that you can meditate on the text, read the famous work。Those souls that have undergone the baptism of "extraordinary" and "impermanence" have already secretly given us gentle and firm strength。

Dear students, in the impermanent world, in the extraordinary years, I hope you stick to the warmth and goodness of human nature, and I hope you take the initiative to maintain the rules and order of society。Fighting the epidemic is the responsibility of the country, but also the responsibility of each of us ordinary individuals。The choices you make now will determine who you are and the fate and future of an entire nation。Finally, with Lu Xun's words to everyone: "can do things, can voice the voice.。There is a minute of heat, send a light。Just like the firefly, it can also emit a little light in the dark, without waiting for the torch fire。”

Spring is coming, I believe our life will soon be warm as usual!

Liu Yangyang, leader of preparing Chinese as a foreign language class

With the outbreak of the epidemic, the teachers of the International Department timely changed the teaching methods and strategies, from the overall deployment of the course to the specific links of implementation, we decided to carry out the "common and unusual" epidemic thematic course in repeated discussions。In class, I always keep in mind the mission of party members to spread positive energy。As big as "responsibility, family and national feelings", as small as "the ability to distinguish the truth of information", from "speak with reason and evidence" to "expression should pay attention to accumulation", we will guide。We teach our students that "What you see is not necessarily true."， "Rumors stop with wise men."We guide students to see the Chinese government's strong decision-making ability and action，See the superiority of the Chinese system;We let the students understand，In the face of difficulties，Should be armed with reading;"The age of blood and fire is far behind us，But face it bravely，Ardent trust，But any era should not forget。Finally, let students understand that fighting the epidemic is not only the responsibility of the country, but also the responsibility of every ordinary individual!

The epidemic has disrupted our ordinary lives, but we must have firm faith, respond optimistically, turn this "extraordinary" into a strength, and learn life lessons from the "extraordinary"。

During the "extraordinary" period, the Party members and teachers of the International Department of Tsinghua High School are united and forging ahead with optimism, keeping the feelings of home and country in mind, and making unremitting efforts to cultivate international outstanding talents rooted in Chinese culture, with independent thinking ability and innovative spirit。
