Summary

On university campuses there are aimless "wanderers," high-achieving "grinds" who set clear goals and keep improving themselves, couples deep in love, "net addicts" unable to tear themselves away from the internet, and "last-minute crammers" who burn the midnight oil only before exams... Moving from confusion to firm purpose, and growing from a self-centered "small self" into a responsible, accountable young adult, is a required course too often overlooked during the university years. This book is divided into three parts—Walking and Looking, Walking and Thinking, and Walking and Acting—presenting typical campus phenomena and, drawing on the author's own growth and university teaching experience, offering young students advice to guide them from confusion toward maturity.

Editor's review

On the Road to Teaching is a work worthy of quiet reading by educators, parents, and anyone concerned with questions of growth. Grounded in the author Su Jiehong's years of frontline educational practice, and through deep observation and reflection on teacher–student relationships, the book explores the multiple meanings and value of the "teacher" role in the context of contemporary education. It offers no empty theoretical preaching; instead, through a wealth of authentic, finely observed narratives from inside and outside the classroom, it sketches the complexity and beauty of education as a process in which "one life influences another."

From a professional perspective, the book's value lies in two important viewpoints it provides: first, its excavation of the inner spiritual world of the teaching profession, showing how educators maintain their original purpose amid trivial daily routines, meet challenges, and achieve self-growth; second, its contemporary response to the eternal question of "what makes a good teacher." The cases and reflections in the book move beyond mere teaching techniques to touch on the emotional foundations and ethical dimensions of education. The author's style is plain and sincere, carrying both the warmth of a practitioner and the calm of an observer, achieving a fine balance between readability and thoughtfulness.

For readers outside the education field, the book also strikes a broad chord. It is essentially an exploration of an important mode of human relationship—one of guidance, inspiration, and companionship—a relationship that exists between parents and children, mentors and juniors, managers and the managed. The book's discussions of trust, boundaries, expectations, and fulfillment have significance beyond the campus. Overall, this is a sincere work that prompts readers to reflect on their own roles and reconsider the value of connection.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Primary and secondary school teachers, homeroom teachers, and education professionals seeking a sense of professional identity and reflective practice
  • Parents concerned with their children's growth and education who wish to understand another dimension of school life
  • Normal-school students and aspiring teachers who want an early taste of real classrooms and teacher-student interaction
  • General readers interested in human relationships, mentorship, and personal growth and development

Not a good fit for

  • Readers seeking an operation manual of specific subject-teaching techniques, lesson plans, or quick-fix methodologies
  • Readers expecting a fierce critique of the education system or the construction of subversive theory

Reading tips

  1. Read at the pace of an essay or prose collection; there is no need to finish it in one sitting—pause and revisit passages along the way
  2. As you read, reflect by comparing the text with your own experience, whether as a student, a parent, or a guide in another field
  3. Try to abstract the core principles of communication and relationship from the concrete educational situations in the book and apply them to broader contexts
