The Greatness of a Teacher

Since ancient times, the word “Xiansheng” has been used as a respectful title for teachers. A teacher is like a boat that can travel a thousand miles without danger; like light that can reach far with its subtlety.

General Secretary Xi Jinping once emphasized that teachers should become great teachers, set examples for students in how to study, work and be a person, and promote students’ growth into well-rounded people.

The “greatness” of a teacher lies in their knowledge. Profound knowledge is the foundation of becoming a “great teacher”.

The “greatness” of teachers lies in their vision. “The three-foot-high podium is the fate of the country, and a lifetime of holding a candle to shape the soul of the people”, the vast majority of teachers are rooted in the land of the motherland and shoulder the responsibility of cultivating new people of the era.

The “greatness” of a teacher lies in their character. For a teacher, cultivating morality and educating people is the fundamental task.

It is an honor to be a people’s teacher. Every teacher should cherish this honor, love this profession, protect students’ hearts with personal charm, open students’ wisdom with academic attainments, and let every student grow up healthily.
