Features: Tell children what love is. Instead of trying to prevent children from "early love," it's better to have direct "love" conversations with them. This book is a of a middle school teacher's decades of spiritual collisions with children. It's a life dialogue carrying the youth of a generation and the concerns of several generations. This book can help children understand what love is and carefully cherish their own love. On the streets, at bus stops, there are often images of middle school couples. For years, "early love" has seemed like a solved problem in middle school education. Yet, the cruel wounds of youthful love, recurring in cycles, make us wonder. Instead of desperately preventing children from "early love," why not have direct "love" conversations with them to help them understand the true essence of love? Love itself is beautiful, so why can't we openly discuss love with children? I have always hoped that "love education" could be officially introduced into our schools and classrooms. I even hope that "love education" could become a course in school, a course on emotional education. Only through educational guidance can the flower of love bloom appropriately in the sunlight, allowing youth to no longer be suppressed, frantic, or cruel—Zeng Hongyan (Pioneer of Chinese Love Education)
