A piece of white paper, several boxes of milk... In the middle of spring, in the classroom of a company of a brigade of the 73rd Group Army, an education class with the theme of "Facing Frustration Pressure Correctly" began. The officers and soldiers looked at several things on the desks and looked puzzled.

"Do you know how strong a piece of paper can bear?" In the curious eyes of officers and soldiers, the company's instructor Fu Jun placed two boxes of milk at intervals, then put a piece of white paper on the top and asked, "What if I put a box of milk on this paper?"

"The white paper will certainly not hold up and will be crushed." Under the platform, a young soldier scrambled to answer. As expected, when Fu Jun put a box of milk on the white paper, the white paper was immediately crushed.

"What about the bearing capacity of the white paper if it is folded in half?" said Fu Jun, repeatedly folding the long side of the white paper in half at an equal distance, just like a closed folding fan, forming many "M" shaped creases. After unfolding the paper naturally, put it over the two boxes of milk again.

"The paper is still this piece of paper. I can't stand it, can I?" During the discussion of the officers and soldiers, Fu Jun gently placed a box of milk on this paper full of creases. This time, the white paper held the milk steadily and was not crushed.

Why is this? This scene made some officers and soldiers wide eyed.

"The experiment is very simple, and the reason is easy to understand. The supporting force of a piece of paper is very weak. After the paper is folded, the creases formed become new supporting points, which can disperse the pressure to bear, and the paper can bear multiple times of its own weight. It can be seen that the bearing force of a piece of paper is also very strong." Fu Jun explained the physical principle of the experiment, while expanding and extending along the trend, "In fact, it is the same with each of us. Especially for the new recruits in the next company, there are inevitably maladjustments in training and life. However, in the face of setbacks and pressure, we should not be depressed, complaining, and self abandonment, but should firmly believe in ourselves, tap our potential in repeated tempering and polishing, and strengthen our weaknesses. Just like this piece of paper, learn to turn creases into a strong 'backbone'... "The voice fell, and warm applause rang.

"This lesson is full of philosophy and interaction, which is a vivid example of education teaching." The leader of the brigade who came to push the door to listen said that in the past, some cadres only talked about big principles in education teaching, the classroom was boring, the interest of officers and soldiers was not high, and the education effect was poor. In this class, there was less seriousness and more liveliness. The officers and soldiers realized the truth of life in small experiments.

"Milk is easily taken in the dormitory, and other experimental props are also common items in life." After class, facing the praise of officers and soldiers, Fu Jun said with a smile that as long as you carefully observe and focus on the actual needs of officers and soldiers, you can find many fresh materials and accurately hit the ideological drum of officers and soldiers.

Inspired by this, in organizing ideological and political education classes, brigade leaders encourage political teachers to constantly improve the timeliness and appeal of education and teaching, and expand and explain the truth of life through visible and credible scientific truth, explore more enlightening, interesting and participatory education models, and enrich education content, Expand the educational scene.

Recently, in order to help recruits successfully pass the "second adaptation period", the transportation company organized an education course entitled "Actively integrate into the company family".

On the day of teaching, the instructor Su Tong also started a small experiment: two glass cups were placed on the platform, one filled with cold water and the other with hot water, and then two drops of black ink were dropped respectively. When everyone looked closely, a magical scene appeared: the ink in the cold water cup dissipated slowly and remained in a cluster, while the ink in the hot water cup diffused rapidly and became integrated with the hot water.

"Every new comrade is like a drop of water, and everyone together forms this glass of water. If you are indifferent, our collective is indifferent; if you are warm, our collective is full of warmth. A warm and enthusiastic collective is more conducive to the integration of comrades in arms with different personalities; a warm and enthusiastic you can also quickly integrate into the new collective." Then, Su Tong extended to talk about the importance of actively integrating into the collective and how to integrate into the new collective, which resonated with the soldiers. Everyone raised their hands to speak, saying that they should be more positive and optimistic, and better integrate into the company family.

After practice and exploration, they decided to further promote the "experimental teaching method", organize personnel to collect and sort out small experiments rich in profound philosophy through network screening, officers and soldiers recommendation, and distribute them to political teachers for reference. At the same time, officers and soldiers are encouraged to take part in the experiment on the platform, gain insights in hands-on operation, collide ideas in discussion, and open the "heart" of officers and soldiers with the "key" of the experiment.

Private Li Ming likes to study hard alone. Although he studies and trains very hard, his professional achievements are generally lower.

In an education class, when the topic of "mutual help" was mentioned, the company instructor asked Li Ming to go on the stage and do a small experiment: for the first time, Li Ming held a table tennis ball in his hand, and then let it fall freely at a height of one meter; The second time, Li Ming put the table tennis ball in a paper cup with half a cup of water and let it go at a height of one meter. Surprisingly, the second time the table tennis ball bounced far higher than the first time.

At the end of the experiment, Li Ming also understood one truth after being instructed by the instructor: if he wants to achieve better results, he should learn to "borrow" from his comrades in arms in addition to immersing himself in hard work.

Since then, Li Ming has changed his old practice of fighting alone. He has learned from the technical backbone around him, and his professional skills have improved rapidly. He has also been rated as the company's "training star".

The quality and efficiency of education have been constantly improved, and the enthusiasm for training has risen. In the last questionnaire of the brigade, the vast majority of officers and soldiers expressed "satisfaction" with this teaching method. Over the past few days, the brigade's officers and soldiers have been united and cooperative, with high morale, and successfully completed a number of training tasks such as pulling combat readiness and handling unknown air situations.
