Features: The book is divided into eleven chapters, each aiming to provoke thought through the initiation and exploration of issues, striving to reflect a certain sharpness and challenge, yet not resorting to blame or complaint. It seeks to exude a pragmatic and optimistic tone. Firstly, the book takes "humanity" or "the humanistic spirit of education" as the fundamental starting point of its thoughts, consistently viewing education as human activity, closely linked to the entire life journey. Social changes pose many challenges to education, and there are also many issues inherent in education that should have been addressed but were not. Secondly, the book employs a "generative" way of thinking. The entire manuscript unfolds through dialogue, presenting the author's thought process on a particular issue. What questions are raised in each section, how they are raised, and the logical relationships between them are the result of repeated reflection and design.
