Livestream: This Teacher Is the Real Deal! He Truly Understands His Students

Don't portray the country as incompetent. With such a large country and so many people, are there no talented people who can't think of the problems? If they couldn't think of them, would our country have organized a poverty alleviation campaign? Would we have achieved complete poverty eradication by 2020? Don't be blindly complacent.

He could only write novels now; Mr. Zhang Xuefeng had already faded from our sight. Who remembered him back then?

Chapter One is enough to discourage you. Let me put it this way: for a child, maintaining hope is more important than anything else, not the truth of the matter or the cruelty of society—that's for later. Teaching what age is appropriate for what kind of work—if this were discussed at the start of a university semester, I think it would be great, but for a group of children who have just…

In the first semester of my first year of junior high, I ranked eighth in the grade, then eighteenth. However, as the course became more difficult, I struggled more and more. Looking back, I realize I was immature and couldn't handle the drop in grades. I felt my efforts were ineffective and my grades were going to plummet.

I thought I'd find some interesting and insightful observations, but it turns out the author just used a different angle to offer feel-good platitudes. 😒

Many comments seem to come from people who have watched too many short videos and know the meaning of "humble family" in ancient times, as if that makes them superior. Why should I get hung up on the true meaning of "humble family"? I just need to know that what I understand as "humble family" is a poor family, isn't that enough?

Everything has its limits. Excessive emphasis on extremes is evil; excessive emphasis on the poor is wrong, but is excessive emphasis on the rich necessarily right? Haven't you heard the cry from Dazexiang: "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?" How were those high-ranking officials brought down by the common people? Couldn't emperors pass their thrones down through generations? Such self-righteous ignorance!

Regardless of how others evaluate this book, it truly resonated with me deeply; it was a kind of remedy for me. These kinds of situations must happen frequently in many families, including mine. After reading it, I realized the problems and decided to change them—a feeling I've never had before when reading novels. I'm truly grateful to the author for teaching me so much.

As a teacher myself, the protagonist of this novel is probably my ideal image, but it's really difficult. I don't have the profound knowledge or extraordinary methods of Teacher Lin in the book, but that doesn't stop me from learning. There are no perfect people in reality, but there are in books. All we can do is try our best to get closer to them, just like the boy chasing the light. Although it's out of reach, he doesn't want to stop there.

Chapter 24 is now available; it's about real robbers.
