Features: On Education Online, who can move you emotionally? On Education Online, who can make you cry? I think many people would recommend the same person: Yuan Weixing. Satellite's understanding and sensitivity toward life are the reasons his articles can touch people deeply. Although Satellite doesn’t deliberately evoke emotions, I’m sure many friends will be moved to tears when reading his work. I’ve had such experiences myself. Therefore, his articles are like emotional water.

Teacher Yuan loves life. His heart-to-heart reflections on family love in the special topic Love of Parents allow us to experience the greatest parental love in the world. His attitude toward life makes us understand that life is a savings account God has given to everyone. We are constantly spending it day by day until one day it goes into deficit. Here, yesterday is a used check, tomorrow is an unreleased bond, and only today is cash, which can be used.

My life doesn’t have to achieve something earth-shattering, but it should be like a lily—blooming as a flower and condensing into a fruit; it should be like a star—appearing as a lamp from afar and a flame up close! The essence of life education is to respect life and its value; the starting point of life education is to bring education back to its fundamental basis and return to the true nature of education. Through this book, we happily see that as an ordinary Chinese language teacher and class monitor, Teacher Yuan Weixing adopts methods such as interdisciplinary integration and comprehensive practical activities to focus on the real-time needs of individual student lives. He confronts the awkwardness, pressure, and panic students face in real life, helps them solve problems appropriately, and finds the optimal growth points for their moral development. He puts education into practice by focusing on the healthy growth of every student every day, and he brings the essence of education back to helping every student live a meaningful life every day. You will be moved by this.
