A Model Teacher

This is a story about a group of teachers.

And also a group of students.

It is the mighty current of the times,

And, more than that, the drive to forge ahead.

This city rose quickly, almost overnight. It will probably decline just as fast.

Skyscrapers form the city's backdrop, while hundreds and thousands of roads crisscross it. All the light floats on the surface, while beneath it, undercurrents surge.

When the city first rose, a great many young people arrived. More young people have come every year since. Those who were young gradually grew old.

Growing old is a process: wrinkles appear on your face, then there's a child in your arms. In the blink of an eye, ten years pass, and the child grows from little to young.

This city grew too fast, and the wealth from striking gold came too quickly. Only its culture lagged behind.

Gradually, some people began to realize this. They built libraries, established all kinds of schools, and reformed education.

More people came to this city. They came to make money, but they were also teachers.
