a well, an old-fashioned human watering ice wagon, the most primitive tool, pouring the most simple and pure ice and snow dream.
On the playground of a primary school in the northeast border county, accompanied by the crisp sound of ice treading, starting, pushing ice, accelerating, the sun shines on the ice, reflecting a smart and happy silhouette-this is a homemade ice rink with a history of pouring ice for 28 years, and it is the place where many children first became acquainted with ice and snow.
One person and a pair of skates, all the students here learn skating
The Second Experimental Primary School in Wangqing County is located in Wangqing County, Yanbian Korean autonomous prefecture, Jilin province. What is the special feature of this school, that is, nearly 500 students in the school have almost skates students, and everyone learns skating.
This is due to the fact that the school has adhered to the outdoor ice course for nearly 30 years.
Wangqing County is located at the foot of Changbai Mountain. The unique climate makes skating a traditional winter sports activity in this small county. Since the 90’s of last century, every winter comes, the teacher of Wang Qing Er Xiao would pour ice on the playground, making students skating without School. The circumference of the slide is about 200 meters, and the ice rink is not large, but it is the source of joy for children.
Jiang Xuemei, vice president of Wang Qing ER, said that in order to prevent students from “cat winter” in the classroom, the school actively carried out ice courses and popularized skating skills by using physical education classes.
28 years of ice pouring homemade ice rink, Wang Qing Erxiao won the Yanbian speed skating characteristic School and other honors. What made the school more gratified was that almost all the children who graduated from here could skate.
Jiang Xuemei told reporters that the purpose of adhering to the ice course is not to deliver professional seedlings. “Cultivating interest and keeping fit is our greatest expectation.” She said.
“It’s a day to let the children slide more”
when it’s near the cold winter, Anxing, the deputy director of Wang Qing er’s Guidance Office, should pay attention to the weather forecast every day and prepare the sand for the homemade ice rink in a corner of the playground.
“When the temperature is low enough, pouring ice will be effective.” Anxingri said that it is suitable to pour ice at about minus 20 degrees Celsius at night and below minus 5 degrees Celsius during the day.
As a result, cold nights at the end of November each year become the hot overtime hours for school PE teachers. Manpower poured ice wagon full of a bucket of well water, poured layer after layer, circle after circle, until the ice layer became thicker and thicker, and the ice surface became smoother and smoother.
In order to catch up with the progress, they take turns to work night shifts, sometimes working overtime until early morning. My hands and feet were frozen to numb, my face was covered with thick frost, and it was difficult to open my eyes. “I just want to finish the work early, which can make the children slide one more day.” An xingri said.
Fight overnight for the happy skating season that lasted more than a month before winter vacation. “ICE last week”, the whole school skating competition…… Colorful ice activities make students’ winter life no longer monotonous.
Daily maintenance is indispensable to keep the ice surface smooth. Teachers need to pour ice before going to work every day, sweep the ice before going off work, and then pour the ice. They also need to clean up the snow in time when encountering snowy days.
“More than 20 years ago, when I was a student, I never thought pouring ice was so hard.” Chen Ribo, the leader of Wang Qing Er Small Sports Group, said.
The same ice rink, when I stepped on my feet to gallop, now I use a trolley to pour ice. “We must continue the tradition of our alma mater.” Chen Ribo said.
“Skating on campus is the happiest thing in the whole winter”
“I like the pleasure of the wind blowing in the face when skating.” Liu Zhanlong, a fifth-grade student, said. When he entered the school, he still had zero Foundation. Now he has entered the county sports team and is determined to become a professional athlete.
During class, after school and winter vacation, the happy silhouette left by groups of children like Liu Zhanlong can always be seen on the school ice rink.
Whenever standing on the ice rink, the white and tall Park Luna is very eye-catching. My friends call her “Princess Elsa” (the heroine of frozen), ice rink is her “ice kingdom”.
“I am the best skater in the class.” When talking about skating, Li Shengbin of the third grade opened the conversation. For him who loved skating since he was young, the small ice rink of the school is enough to hold a big ice and snow dream. Skating on campus is the happiest thing in the whole winter!” He raised his red face and said.
The annual school skating competition is a great event for children to wait and see. Fighting bravely on the court and cheering on the court. At the moment of crossing the finish line, no matter winning or losing, it is a happy moment for children. Some parents said that the school turned the playground into an ice rink, which was the warmest gift for children in cold winter.
Under The Sun, the ice rink of Wang Qing Erxiao was bright, just like the countless ice and snow dreams poured by this school, shining.
