Features: A twelve-year-old boy, with his laughter and love, cares for and observes the world around him, discovering that society is truly worth loving. Do you want to delve into the boy's heart and learn how to create a world of love? Here, we are presented with life two centuries ago. This book is written in the form of a diary by a primary school student, Annone, telling touching stories that happen around him during the school year, along with encouraging words written by his parents in his diary, and the teacher's inspiring "monthly stories" in class. The ordinary characters in the book, such as the stonecutter, the charcoal seller, the father's teacher, the blacksmith's son, the blind child, and others, all radiate the love between parents and children, the bond between teachers and students, the friendship between friends, and the compassion of society. The overwhelming and all-encompassing word "love" is a sacred one that endures, though it lacks the dramatic impact of "moving the heavens and shedding tears," it always stirs the heart, even brings tears to the eyes, reminding us to see the world with a warm gaze. Generations of parents both in China and abroad have chosen The School of Love as the life lesson for their children.
