Twelve Hours on Campus

With immense enthusiasm and over 30 years of teaching experience in primary schools, Shenzhen teacher Tao Canming has put her observations and reflections on education into writing, leaving behind a sincere and lively record of campus life. This record tells us that only a teacher who truly "e;sees the children"e; can grasp the mystery of educating with love and deeply appreciate the joy of this work. Only then can they explore and implement education about humanity, which encompasses the meaning of life, self-worth, self-esteem, love and forgiveness, compassion, and faith. The author's writing spans Shenzhen's local schools, schools in Guangxi where she taught as a volunteer, counterpart-assisted schools in Xinjiang, and schools in the United States during study visits. With a broad perspective, her writings and thoughts embody the wisdom of educational growth, making them worth reading and drawing lessons from for teachers and parents alike.
