Features: Tell children what love is. Instead of trying to prevent children from "early love" at all costs, it's better to have a direct "love" dialogue with them. This book is a of decades of a middle school teacher's spiritual collisions with children. It is a life dialogue burdened with 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, it is common to see the of middle school couples. For many years, "early love" has seemed to have become a non-issue in middle school education. Yet the cruel wounds of youthful love, recurring in cycles, have left us with a choice: instead of desperately preventing children from "early love," why not have a direct "love" dialogue with them to let them understand the true meaning 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 the guidance of education 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)
