Features: This book begins with the May Fourth Movement and extends to the birth of the People's Republic of China, documenting 30 years of teachers' struggles. To resist foreign aggression and achieve national liberation, teachers became an important force as people from all walks of life united in the struggle. Teachers continuously progressed during the movement, and their progress yielded significant results in education and teaching, in leveraging their role as a bridge between society and education, and in conducting worker, peasant, and urban worker education to meet the cultural and educational needs of the masses. Their efforts also promoted workers' movements, peasant movements, and the struggles of urban residents. The practical significance of this book's publication lies in inspiring our teachers to stay committed to their educational posts, continuously learn and improve, uphold the responsibility of teachers in national rejuvenation, and excel in the work of teaching and nurturing people. At the same time, it inspires trade union workers to uphold the spirit of serving educators, dedication, close ties with the masses, and innovation in their work, in order to unite educators in advancing education and achieving a nation strong through science and technology.
