Features: On one hand, the realm of the "New Education Experiment" rapidly rose in media discussions. On the other hand, its connotations were quickly enriched through intense media debates. Without a doubt, the role of media in advancing the "New Education Experiment" extends far beyond this. The chain-like coverage by media outlets has, objectively, become a form of "public service advertisement" for promoting the "New Education Experiment." According to news from Zhu Yongxin, the number of schools seeking to promote the "New Education Experiment" has been growing rapidly. What initially began as an experiment confined to Suzhou has now expanded across the vast majority of China. Invitations from all over the country for Zhu Yongxin to deliver lectures are continuously pouring into the Suzhou Municipal Government. An increasing number of educators are identifying with and practicing Zhu Yongxin's New Education. Of course, as more people become aware of the "New Education Experiment," the group of those who do not it is also growing larger. I believe this is also a good thing. Things evolve and grow by innovating through debate and exchange, gradually refining and improving. This book collects continuous reports from dozens of domestic media outlets, including People's Daily, Guangming Daily, China People's Political Consultative Conference Daily, China Youth News, People's Education, China Education News, Nanfang Zhoumo, and Wharf News, documenting the growth of the New Education Experiment and analyzing its success.
