When a country prospers, it must be esteemed for its teachers and important teachers.

On the occasion of the 39th Teacher's Day, the Central Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Education publicly released the advanced deeds of the "Most Beautiful Teachers" in 2023 to the whole society. Ten "most beautiful teachers", one special tribute figure, and a "most beautiful teacher" team, covering various levels of education such as higher education, vocational education, basic education, early childhood education, and special education.

Bacon casts the soul, enlightens the mind. They have ideals, morals, knowledge, and a compassionate heart, fully demonstrating the good spiritual style of the new era teacher team.

Promote educational equity and inclusiveness

On the road to promoting social education equity, "the most beautiful teachers" are at the forefront.

A screen closely connects Xia Xue, a teacher from Chengdu No.7 Middle School in Sichuan Province, with teachers and students from areas with weak education.

Through remote live teaching, tens of thousands of students both inside and outside the province have benefited from Xia Xue's classroom; With the help of online school teacher teaching discussion groups, teachers from remote and impoverished areas can have face-to-face exchanges and discussions with Xia Xue.

"Allowing special children to enjoy high-quality educational resources" is the commitment of Xiong Bifang, the principal of Lipu Special Education School in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Rooted in rural special education for 24 years, she has opened up a new path of combining health and education, striving to develop vocational education and better integrate children into society. At present, several students in the school have been admitted to universities, and more than 60 students have successfully found employment.

Suonandaji, the principal of the First Kindergarten in Yushu City, Qinghai Province, is committed to the cause of ethnic education. For many years, she has tirelessly promoted every child to speak Mandarin well. Through organizing reading activities, children not only learn to communicate in Mandarin, but also appreciate the infinite charm of reading.

There are both scattered stars and torches.

In 2022, eight ministries and commissions jointly carried out the "group style" assistance work for educational talents in key counties for national rural revitalization, focusing on helping 160 key counties for national rural revitalization in 10 provinces, regions, and cities in the western region, striving to provide every child in the western region with opportunities to excel in life.

Assist students in comprehensive development

Be both a teacher and a poet, educate with the emotions of a poet, and express the poetry of tomorrow that people are most concerned about with their lives.

Adhering to this educational ideal, Dong Yan, a teacher at Huhu Town Central School in Huoqiu County, Lu'an City, Anhui Province, has written a poem about rural education. For 18 years, she has read and created poetry together with her students, and over 30 children's poems and articles have been publicly published in publications.

Some people add a touch of poetry to education, while others integrate music into education.

Gu Ya is a special duty teacher at Haiga Primary School in Dawan Town, Zhongshan District, Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province. While ensuring basic teaching tasks, he also offers additional instrument classes to help children broaden their horizons. He also mobilized his friends and kind-hearted individuals to donate various musical instruments, and formed four student bands. The rehearsal videos have caused quite a stir on the internet.

How to make teaching more efficient and efficient? Zhang Renli, the principal of the Affiliated School of Education College in Jing'an District, Shanghai, has been deeply involved in education and teaching research, promoting post teahouse style teaching reform, and turning a weak school into a high-quality school with light burden and high quality that parents and students aspire to, as well as a well-known school that implements quality education.

Innovate and delve into vocational technology

With dedication and love for their profession, the "most beautiful teachers" in the field of vocational education achieve an organic combination of technological breakthroughs and skilled talent cultivation with a spirit of research and innovation.

"Standing in front of you today is the master, and going out tomorrow is the master of the future." This is a sentence that Wang Liqun, a teacher at Shanxi Provincial School of Economics and Trade, often tells his students.

Wang Liqun has been engaged in practical teaching of culinary theory for 40 years. He has independently developed multiple classic dishes and standardized homework formulas, cultivating nearly 10000 students and trainees, many of whom have become top talents in the industry.

In the process of cultivating generations of "great country craftsmen", the high-quality vocational education teacher team plays an irreplaceable role.

Developed more than 30 welding practical training projects, innovatively created the "Five Step Teaching Method" and "Five Degree Operation Method", and trained students to win multiple city level and above skill competition awards during their school years. Professor Wang Wenshan from Baotou Vocational and Technical College innovatively researched teaching content and methods, cultivating a group of skilled and hardworking vocational skilled talents, affectionately known as "replicates of labor models and craftsmen".

Contribute to the scientific research efforts of universities

Atomic clock, one of the most precise instruments in the world. As early as 1965, China's first atomic clock with a stability of 600 years and an error of no more than one second was born. Wang Yiqiu, one of the founders of China's quantum frequency standard field and a professor at Peking University, was the behind the scenes hero who led the research and development work at that time. His research has made important contributions to China's national defense, aerospace, communication, metrology and other industries.

"A little more time is squeezed out every day than others, and long-term accumulation is bound to be successful." This is what Zhang Hongcheng, an academician of the CAE Member, a crop cultivation scientist, and a professor of Yangzhou University, hopes to teach students.

For 48 years, Zhang Hongcheng has devoted himself to asking about "rice". The rice technology he has developed has helped farmers produce, and he is a beloved "mud legged" professor.

Huang Lingyi, a retired teacher from the Institute of Microelectronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, who left us this year and is known as the "Mother of Chinese Loong's Dragon Core", is the special tribute to the "Most Beautiful Teacher" in 2023.

In 1960, Huang Lingyi, who had achieved success in his studies, returned to his alma mater Huazhong University of Science and Technology and established the first semiconductor laboratory in China, developing China's semiconductor diodes. As a veteran expert in the field of microelectronics in China, Huang Lingyi devoted her whole life to creating Chinese chips.

"Teacher Huang's whole life was only for a jumping 'Chinese chip'." This is the words that people miss her.
