Editor's review

This work unfolds from the dual perspectives of a mother and a teacher, interweaving the dedication of teaching by example, everyday skills for getting along with children, and the trajectory of children's sunny growth. The author does not stop at surface-level descriptions of educational experience, but strives to shape typical teacher figures, sketch a group portrait of diverse students, and examine individual students' growth by placing it back into family environments and social backgrounds. This approach gives the educational narrative depth, so that what readers see is not only stories within a classroom, but also the combined efforts of multiple forces behind a child's growth. The book's expression of how caring for young people requires the efforts of all sectors is suited to readers concerned with the educational ecosystem. As the first half of the whole book, this volume lays out the foundation of characters and situations and is best read in sequence with the second volume. While reading, readers may wish to jot down educational passages that resonate with them and compare them with their own experiences.

Does this book mainly discuss educational theory or educational stories?

The book is primarily narrative, recording the dedication of teaching by example, skills for getting along with children, and episodes of children's growth. It belongs to educational narrative writing rather than a systematic exposition of educational theory, and readers can sense the experience and reflection within real educational situations.

What is the difference between the first and second volumes, and do they need to be read together?

The two volumes belong to the same work and both center on educational practice and student growth from the perspectives of teachers and mothers. The first volume is the first half of the whole book and lays out the characters and situations; readers are advised to read the first volume before the second in order to fully grasp the shaping of typical teachers and the student group portrait.
