The Chinese Dream – A Gardener's Passion

     Like a silkworm spinning silk until death, like a candle burning until it's ash, you sang this praises. —Epigraph

    A piece of chalk, a clean conscience, you used words to answer our questions; in the classroom, with students from all corners of the world, you used facts to illustrate the legend of life.

    From our first steps to our current nimble strides; from our ignorance of society to our understanding of life; from our immaturity to our maturity… Teacher, how much effort have you poured into this?

    Your tireless dedication is your attitude towards work; your perseverance is your seriousness towards teaching; your unwavering loyalty is your steadfastness towards the motherland; your selflessness and integrity are the wisdom you taught us for living and interacting with others… Teacher, how much passion have you given?

    Some say, "Your work is today, yet it builds the future of our nation; your teaching is in the classroom, but its achievements are felt throughout the land."

    Some say, "Rivers propel us to the vast ocean; dawn brings us a bright morning; and you guide us towards a magnificent life."

    However, I want to say, "Teacher, how much of your youth have you dedicated?"

    Teacher, a sacred profession, shoulders the heavy responsibilities entrusted by the nation, your presence felt in every corner of the country, sowing seeds of hope across its mountains and valleys.

    Teachers, engineers of the human soul, are exemplary role models; educating and nurturing is their sacred duty; love and respect for students are the foundation of education; and reason is the guiding light of a teacher's life. Even the

    fallen leaves cannot erase the sorrow of Song Yu; your refined and elegant demeanor is also my teacher.

    Teacher, a beautiful word, an object of human respect; teacher, a wonderful title, enough to melt even the snow-capped mountains of a thousand years. Your sincere love has awakened so many lost souls, nurtured so much confidence, ignited so much youth, and propelled so many journeys.

    Teacher, people say you are the pillars of the nation, but it's more accurate to say you *are* the pillars of the nation. It is you who support the backbone of our generation.

    Teacher, you are the cultivator of beauty, the sower of beauty. You use sunshine and rain to nourish our hearts, creating lush green fields and blooming flowers.

    Bai Juyi once wrote in "Responding to Lord Ling's Planting Flowers in Front of the Green Field Hall": "Lord Ling's students are all over the world, why plant more flowers in front of the hall?"

    Yes, teacher, you have used your life's blood to water countless flowers and plants, creating countless fragrant peach and plum blossoms.

    Gardener, a noble title, it is because of your hard work and dedication that we have students all over the world, and your warmth spreading far and wide!

Living and working in the sunshine

To improve children's practical skills, help them understand the hardship of labor, and foster a greater appreciation for the fruits of others' labor and their current happy lives, the "Three Visits to the Countryside" team—the Qihang Social Practice Team—decided to conduct labor education. Labor practice is the foundation of labor education. The labor class focuses on practical work, integrating ideological education into the process. It organically combines ideological education with cultivating good habits and acquiring knowledge and skills, striving for a unity of practicality and education. Based on the actual situation, the Qihang Social Practice Team included "weeding on campus" in the labor curriculum. On the day of labor class, students brought weeding tools from home, such as hoes and sickles, to school. They lined up and marched to the school playground to begin weeding. Each class had its own designated area, and everyone spread out, each occupy...

Cultivating character and fostering friendship

  On July 13th, the third day of the "Sailing" social practice team, a new course—calligraphy—began. The students initially showed great interest in calligraphy. When the teacher brought calligraphy tools such as brushes and Xuan paper into the classroom, many students came over to observe curiously. The   class began with the teacher introducing the structure of the brush and how to hold it. The students watched with wide, curious eyes, then picked up their brushes and followed the teacher's steps to imitate the brushes. After correcting the students' grips, the teacher demonstrated a basic stroke in regular script—the horizontal stroke—on the blackboard. The students practiced on their paper, and their movements were quite impressive. Due to time constraints, the students only learned the horizontal stroke in the morning. In the afternoon, the teacher taught them the vertical stroke and the dot stroke. After practicing the basic strokes,   the students, under the te...

Overlord's Tears

 　　"My clothes grow looser, yet I have no regrets, for I am wasting away for her." The song of Farewell My Concubine, a tale of heroism, has left behind an enduring sorrow. 　　Red-tasseled spears, golden armor, meteor hammers, swift steeds—the land of Yan and Huang, teeming with heroes, fearless against a hundred men. Countless trials of life and death forged their heroic nature. In those days, he lifted a cauldron with one hand, his might boundless, but heaven was jealous of his talent, leaving him only with tears streaming down his face by the Wujiang River. 　　That beautiful figure, it carried away my thoughts. In that vast sea of ​​people, I chose you, a promise made on the Stone of Three Lifetimes, five hundred glances in a past life. I roamed the world with my sword, just to win your smile; my iron cavalry trampled through mountains and passes, just to reach the willow-lined streets east of Luoyang. 　　The swing, long since without its butterfly rope, the ivy, no longer as...
