world teachers day

October 5th is World Teachers' Day. So why is September 28 also Teachers' Day? Because September 28 is the birthday of Confucius on the national calendar, this day is designated as Teacher's Day to commemorate the most sage teacher who has no distinction in teaching.

Stories from teachers and students:

An old man meets a young man,

The young man asked: Do you remember me?

The old man said: I have no impression.

The young man told him: I am your student.

Teacher: What are you doing now?

The young man replied: I became a teacher.

How nice, like me? the old man asked.

In fact, it's because of you that inspired me to be like you, the young man replied.

The old man curiously asked the young man when did he decide to become a teacher?

The young man told him:

I was a student that year, and a classmate came into the classroom with a new watch on his hand. I wanted his new watch so much that I decided to steal it. The classmate put his watch in the bag in class and I took it away.

Soon after, the classmate found that his watch was missing and immediately reported to the teacher that the teacher of that year was you. Then you say to the class that this student's watch was stolen during class today. who stole it? Please return it immediately.

I didn't turn myself in because I was afraid of being punished and I wanted to own this watch.

Teacher you close the door and let us all stand up and form a circle in the classroom. You're going to search our pockets one by one until you find the watch.

However, you told us that each of us must close our eyes, because only when we all close our eyes, you will focus on finding the watch, and only when the watch is found can everyone be dismissed.

When you took out the watch from my pocket, you didn't stop searching immediately, you continued to search everyone's pockets, and when you touched every student's pocket, you said: Children, open Your eyes, I found the watch.

The watch goes back to its original owner, you didn't say who stole the watch. You totally saved my dignity that day. That was the most shameful thing I've ever done in my life.

That's when I made up my mind not to be a thief, not to be a bad boy. You didn't accuse me or talk to me one-on-one afterwards, but your actions taught me an important lesson in life - morality.

Because of you, I understand what a true educator needs to do for the world. Teacher, do you remember this? the young man asked.

The old man replied: I remember the watch incident, the stolen watch I found in the pocket of a certain student. But I don't remember you because I was looking for that watch with my eyes closed.

This is the essence of the teaching of a wise man.

Happy Teachers' Day to all teachers around the world. Thank you for being our leader and for your earnest teachings.
