Features: Comrade Zheng Qi was originally a teacher at Jinggang Primary School in Miaoren Town, Dangyang City, Hubei Province. Over nearly fifty years, he has tirelessly devoted himself to rural education, offering selfless contributions and achieving extraordinary accomplishments in an ordinary position, serving as a model and of noble teacher ethics. To further promote the national teacher ethics publicity and education campaign and foster a positive social atmosphere of learning from role models, admiring teacher ethics, and respecting teachers, the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Ministry of Education, the Communist Youth League Central Committee, and the Hubei Provincial Committee of the CPC recently organized a reporting team to share Comrade Zheng Qi's advanced deeds. The team conducted tours to various locations, eliciting strong responses from teachers, students, and all sectors of society. Comrade Zheng Qi's exemplary deeds once again remind us that our teaching force is a trustworthy one, a force particularly capable of fighting. Especially among rural teachers, under difficult conditions and harsh environments, they hold lofty aspirations, find joy in hardship, and silently dedicate themselves to teaching, working diligently for the next generation and the future of the nation. Many of them have devoted their youth to nurturing others, from their prime to their white-haired years, embodying the character and demeanor of people's teachers. They are fully worthy of the honorable title of people's teachers. Comrade Zheng Qi is an outstanding representative among them. A hundred years of planning hinge on education; the foundation of education lies in teachers. To develop the cause of education, we must wholeheartedly rely on the teaching force and resolutely build a strong people's teaching force. Teachers, students, and comrades, let us hold high the great banners of Deng Xiaoping Theory and the Important Thought of "Three Represents," under the leadership of Comrade Hu Jintao as General Secretary of the Central Committee, and inspired by the noble spirit of exemplary teachers, vigorously strengthen the construction of the teaching force, care for and promote the healthy growth of minors, and strive to achieve people's satisfaction in education and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
