Features: China is in urgent need of world-class scientists. Why can this shortage not be fundamentally changed in the short term? When the world gathers "China's advantages," why does China always lag behind and continue to decline in global competitiveness rankings? With a population of 1.3 billion, why has China yet to produce a scientist who has won the "Nobel Prize"? An education system that was once a pure land has now been recognized by society as a highly profitable industry. All of this stems from problems in China's talent ecological environment, primarily its education system. This book is the sister volume to From Weak to Strong. From Weak to Strong focuses on overcoming one's weaknesses to become an outstanding individual, while this book focuses on cultivating outstanding individuals through the understanding and exploration of educational principles. The two books complement each other. Colleagues in the education sector, parents, and students will find more inspiration by reading both books together.

History has proven that only human-centered education can nurture great inventions and discoveries, and also create great civilizations.
