Institutions cannot access the Internet and rely on reference books and dictionaries to learn
"The biggest difference in the institution is that you don't have access to the Internet, and you don't have to use a computer phone." Xiaojie used to look up things he didn't understand online, but after he was imprisoned, he could only look for reference books and dictionaries, and the results were unexpected. efficient.
"At first, I thought it would be a lot of time, but I found it to be better with time, because using the computer to check the data will distract me from the entertainment, so I can concentrate on preparing for the DSE exam." In addition, The teacher also prepared sufficient teaching materials, focusing on training his poor Chinese subject, so that he successfully reached the standard.
Inmates in prison 'everyone is ordinary people'
Xiaojie said that the prisoners are all ordinary young people, "just like what we see on the street, there is no difference." There are seven to eight people in the class studying together, and they can live in the HKDSE exam. In the same room, encourage each other.
In addition to going to school, everyone has to undergo discipline training, such as marching and so on.

Correctional institution staff speaks the truth of life: housing enterprises are more sad than you
"A particularly unforgettable experience is that when I first entered the school, the staff felt depressed when they saw me. I may have seen many teenagers like me enter the school and tell me some life lessons. For example, you are sad at home. People are even more sad, and everyone is unhappy, so they all understand that they need to care about more people."
Xiaojie emphasized that his family "unconditionally tinkers with me", and that after he is released from prison, he will cherish the time he spends with his family and repay them.
"After entering the home, Xianzhi was more open and frank and got along with the people of the house. Because I saw Xianxian several times a month, it is easy to say a lot of heartfelt words, because everyone is attached to everyone. Going out will bring life to life Sexuality will no longer worry them. Thank you for your continued support and love." He thanked the institute and teachers for their support and encouragement, which motivated him to work hard to get good grades.
"Learning will make a person better." He believes that knowledge changes one's fate, and he appeals to the inmates who will take the DSE test next year. "I want to tell them to work hard and cherish the knowledge they have learned."
There are ten candidates in the institution this year, and the peers taking the HKDSE can live with each other and encourage each other.

Seeing people suffering from illness during the epidemic, I hope to do scientific research to give back to the society
Xiaojie was interested in biology since he was a child, and read National Geographic magazine when he was young.
When asked about his future development, he said he wanted to do scientific research, "Because I saw a lot of people suffering from diseases during the epidemic, I wanted to do scientific research to help the society, to give back to the society, but to make money instead. want."
It is more difficult to take exams in prison due to the epidemic. Head teacher: candidates are more focused
"It takes three years to read from Form 4 to Form 6, and it takes 10 months to teach." Chen Xiang, a Chinese language teacher, head teacher and assistant education director of Pik Uk Correctional Institution, said that he had to do so within a short period of time. Teach the entire DSE course in a hurry.
During the epidemic, it is necessary to reduce contact in the institution, and Chen Xiang will wear protective clothing to meet students.
Sometimes a teacher enters the prison, and other teachers entrust the teacher to hand over the materials or notes to the students.
In dealing with the epidemic, Chen Xiang feels that mentality is the winning factor.
"There are some students who may not be in good spirits when they go to the tight classroom. Instead, they know that the epidemic may not be able to attend the classroom, and they know that the exam is approaching, and their concentration is more concentrated. It is good to see the examinee's mentality at that time." Moreover, the prisoners faced each other day and night, learning from each other. , the effect is also good.
Chen Xiang quoted the speech of the late national leader Deng Xiaoping, and hoped that Xiaojie would "remember the bitter and sweet" in the future.

Read Lian Po Lin Xiangru's Teachings on Being Human
"Usually teenagers like to be bullshit, especially in the past few years, when he saw false information on the Internet, he was influenced by his peers. At this time, in addition to teaching, he wanted to teach him how to be a man." Chen Xiang pointed out that students "committed What matters is not so important in our eyes."
Chen Xiang said that in response to Xiaojie being imprisoned due to social incidents, the teacher will also spend time teaching Xiaojie the principles of being a human being. "I will try to link the texts as much as possible. For example, I read the biography of Lian Po Lin Xiangru in the text, and it talks about Lin Xiangru being tolerant. Many students are just beginning to learn. I don't understand, I think "Mi Tong Qu died, anyway, he has done a lot for the country!" Until the next sentence, "First the country's urgency and then the personal hatred", they first understood the stability of the country. It is so important. Therefore, the education of morality and affection should be taught to a certain extent.”
Chen Xiang, Chinese teacher, head teacher and assistant education director of Pik Uk Correctional Institution, taught Xiaojie not to be impulsive in matters of national importance.

Hope that Xiaojie will "remember the pain and think the sweet" in the future, not forgetting the teaching in the correctional institution
Chen Xiang pointed out that it is possible to spend three years to accompany the growth of students, but relatively speaking, the number of people here is smaller than that of the outside world. Instead, they can focus on individual teaching and teach students according to their aptitude.
"Jie Zai likes to watch literary novels or dramas, and he often shares them with each other. Some of the protagonists are in adversity, but they may face adversity in a gentler way, so that his thinking will not be overwhelmed. If you can't hold back your dissatisfaction, you can express it in a fierce way."
Quoting the speech of the late national leader Deng Xiaoping, he hoped that Xiaojie would "remember hardships and think sweetly" in the future, not to forget what happened in the correctional institution, "Even if there were some mistakes in the past, in the future, be careful and think twice. Okay, don't forget the period of time that you spent there. In the eyes of many people, this period of time may be a dark history, but there are also valuable experiences and gains."
As a Chinese teacher, Chen Xiang also often gets students' essays, "In their essays, they often talk about the people of the housing enterprise. Losing their freedom is certainly very unhappy, but the most unhappy thing is that the people of the housing enterprise are the most unhappy. Disappointed, or worried. (Family) rarely has a day off, and they have to travel far and wide to visit the prison. I feel so ashamed of my family.” I appeal to other young people to consider the feelings of the housing and business people around them before doing anything.
The dormitory is not air-conditioned.
