Summary

This book is Teachers and Students by Chen Hengqing.

Editor's review

Taking the teacher-student relationship as its entry point, Teachers and Students stays close to everyday educational life and readily prompts readers to think about teaching and learning, intergenerational communication, and the companionship that accompanies growth. In this book, Chen Hengqing builds his narrative around how teachers and students get along. It is suited to casual reading at one's desk or bedside, and can also serve as a conversation starter among teachers, parents, and young people. As you read, pay attention to the dialogue and details between characters and consider the emotions and choices that emerge from different standpoints. For those concerned with what happens in education, parent-child communication, and campus life, this book offers a text for discussion rather than ready-made answers. It is better read with questions in mind, recalling one's own experiences of teacher-student relationships along the way, and thereby arriving at more concrete impressions. Overall, the book's value lies in grounding the abstract issue of teacher-student relations in tangible scenes of daily life, helping readers put themselves in others' shoes and understand the patience, boundaries, and trust involved in educational relationships.

About the author

Chen Hengqing Author · Chinese · 1844–1920

Chen Hengqing (1844–1920), courtesy name Zijiu, was a native of Weixian in Shandong (present-day Weicheng District, Weifang). A late Qing official and scholar, he passed the provincial examination in 1873 and the metropolitan examination in 1886. He served successively as a secretary in the Ministry of Works, rising through the Waterways, Construction, and Colonization Departments, and later held posts as Supervising Censor of the Ministry of War, Investigating Censor of the Henan Circuit, and Chief Supervising Censor. In 1908 he was appointed prefect of Jinzhou. He retired at sixty and wrote works including Jianshu Xian Notes (also known as Jili Qingtan) and Unofficial Gleanings of the Late Qing. His extant writings are considerable, with 154 titles held in our collection, many drawing on folk literature and Eastern philosophy. They touch on modern upheavals such as the militia conflicts, the Boxer movement, and the Nian rebels, as well as rural tales and social types like foxes and swindlers, and social issues such as Manchu-Han differences, bearing the documentary flavor of note-style historiography. Public information is limited, and his literary standing and influence await further study.
