Shen Xiaobei, a male student in Class 2, Grade 3, harbors an unspoken hatred for Chinese. He shares this sentiment with Tian Tian, Da Xiong, Momi, and their other mischievous friends. But what makes him even more unlucky is that he was late to his first Chinese class of the new semester and was scolded by the new teacher. Who is this Teacher Mm? Even if she looked like Zhang Bozhi, he wouldn’t be swayed—he was determined to fight her to the end!
Teacher Mei Mm, the new Chinese teacher in Class 2, Grade 3, resolved to use innovative teaching methods to change Shen Xiaobei and his friends’ perception of Chinese. She even made a vow in front of the principal: if the students in Class 2, Grade 3 didn’t rank among the top three in the school’s Chinese exam at the end of the semester, she would resign on her own! What would happen?
Teacher Mm’s philosophy is: Chinese can’t be learned just in the classroom. So throughout the semester, she led her students in comprehensive Chinese learning on the streets, in parks, online, and at home. Learning methods varied from person to person. For example, they created advertising slogans, performed textbook plays, designed scenic spots for classical Chinese texts, set up their own "error correction camps," and even learned through games. They used the "counterattack with poison" reading method, where everyone created their own exams and took them. The students were having a blast, discovering that Chinese could actually be so interesting and easy to learn.
As the semester drew to a close, Shen Xiaobei and his friends put their heads together to launch a secret mission to keep Teacher Mm from leaving.
