吴佩芳 1931年生于江苏苏州市,自幼家境贫困,只读了两年书就不得不辍学在家。解放后,她在街道居委会参加工作,深感没有文化的痛苫,便进了街道扫盲班,后来自费读了初中。1958年,因看到当时一些学生上学有困难,她毅然带头响应党的“两条腿走路”的号召,决定创办一所民办小学。 Born in Suzhou, Jiangsu in 1931, Wu Peifang was poor in his family and had to drop out of school at home after reading only two years. After the liberation, she took part in the work of neighborhood committees, deeply felt no pain in culture and went to the street for literacy classes. Later she read junior high school at her own expense. In 1958, seeing that some students were having difficulty going to school at the time, she resolutely took the lead in responding to the party’s call for “two-legged walk” and decided to set up a private primary school.
