Features: This book is the breakthrough work and representative work of the renowned educator Li Zhenxi. Written in the form of a diary, it narrates touching stories of Li Zhenxi's teaching and nurturing of students. When Wang Bin's father insisted on leaving a basket of eggs to thank Li for his care for his son, Li would cook an egg every day on a small kerosene stove and deliver it to Wang Bin. Ning Wei, a kind and frugal student from a poor family but excellent in studies, was supported by Li in providing nutrition by sending her money. After falling short of a few points in the college entrance exam, Ning Wei was emotionally distraught, but Li consistently encouraged her. Eight years of correspondence and phone calls became the greatest driving force in Ning Wei's successful life. When Wu Jian's father passed away and the family fell into debt, Wu considered dropping out of school. Li supported his classmates in raising funds and donations for him. During the vacation, Li took the students on a 30-li mountain hike to Wu Jian's working field. They shouted in unison, "Wu—Jian—You—Are—Great!" Tears streamed down Wu Jian's face. Li's process of transforming the underachieving student Wan Tong is more like a thrilling and heart-stirring story. Li Zhenxi's sincere love for his students and the students' return of love deeply moved thousands of readers—professors, scholars, civil servants, students, and their parents—leaving them moved to tears. Wherever Li went, many teachers and students came, weary from their journey, to listen to his lectures as if on a pilgrimage. After reading this book, many teachers were deeply moved and reflected on themselves, changing their attitudes and thus transforming their lives. In 1999, the book won the "Five One Project" Award from the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Bingxin Book Award, the First Prize of the "Oriental Cup" Scientific Research Achievement Award from the Chinese Educational Society, and widespread coverage by major national media. To this day, due to the pursuit of countless teachers, "Love and Education" has become a new classic in education.
