East China’s Jiangsu province celebrated the 39th annual edition of Teachers' Day Tuesday in Nanjing. Let’s take a close look.
This year's theme event for Teacher's Day celebration is divided into three chapters. Five teachers from different educational fields recounted their stories of teaching and educating people through various forms of presentation, such as short films, interviews, and micro speeches.
Wu Kai, a rural teacher rooted in the mountains, has formed caretaking families for left behind children for many years so as to help more children leave the mountains and enter universities.
“There are quite a few left-behind children in the mountains, so we mobilized the teacher to become the caretaker parents of these mountain children. Over the past seven years, we have formed over 60 caretaking families for over 300 left-behind children in our school. Now we have mobilized the ‘mountain brothers and sisters’ who have come out of the mountains to help these younger brothers and sisters so as to ensure that the caretaking love will relay and pass on in the mountains,” said Wu Kai, Secretary and Principal of the Party Branch of Qiuji Middle School in Xuyi County, Huai’an.
Zhang Hongcheng, academician of the CAE Member and professor of Yangzhou University, has been engaged in scientific research for 48 years. He narrated through a handful of rice ears the responsibility of shouldering scientific research and serving the country for over forty years.
“We are engaged in the field of crop cultivation, and we need to open up new tracks and run at new speeds so as to lead the world,” said Zhang Hongcheng, Academician of CAE Member, professor of Yangzhou University.
Awards were given out to the model teachers from across the province.
