Who has never encountered a student who "doesn't have enough food and salt"? Who hasn't been forced to hide in the stairwell and cry due to workplace pressure? This book "The Besieged City Under the Podium" reveals the reality of the teaching workplace: not all students will listen obediently, not all parents will trust unconditionally, and not all efforts will yield immediate results. But when the rebellious art students turn class photos into paintings, and when the silent dancers use words to speak for themselves, you will understand - those difficulties that have been overcome eventually become the warmest light in the heart.
