Qilu - Teacher Gratitude

The three-foot altar has a seven-foot body.

The master's temples are fragrant with frost.

A piece of chalk decorates the red list,

The breeze on both sleeves stains the white dust.

Cun Su shows his kindness and his noble aspirations,

His merits and virtues reside in his soul.

I have received the training of the past throughout my life,

I remember the fragrant peaches and plums.

Yesterday was Teacher's Day, and I was too busy to write anything. The admiration and memory for my teacher often come up, so I will pick up a few sentences here to express my memory and gratitude to my teacher.

I grew up in a rural area, and the rural teacher is my idol. He knows a lot and teaches us a lot. At that time, the necessary study books were not available in bookstores. The source of knowledge was taught by teachers, and extracurricular knowledge depended on asking teachers for advice. The old gentleman was tireless in teaching, and he liked me the most, as a student who loved to ask questions.

When I grew up, I returned to the city and took the exam again. Because I was studious, I was loved and taught by my teacher, which led me to the path of literature. From then on, my life gained an emotion and a harvest. And gave me the strength to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles without getting tired, and let me live in two worlds. I am grateful to the teacher, grateful to the hardships, and grateful to all the predecessors and mentors who have given me knowledge and strength in my life!

Last night, 98-year-old senior Chen Dong sent me a book and invited me to talk via video chat. The old gentleman is a highly respected person and has been my friend for many years. He has set an example for me in the past 40 years. He lives to learn, is loyal and upright, and faces life with a smile.

Teachers impart knowledge, resolve doubts, and set examples. When three people travel together, there must be my teacher, and there are more than three thousand people walking with me. I have experienced the hardships of others, learned from their strengths, admired the sages, respected the seniors, learned from colleagues, not ashamed to ask questions, enrich myself, and enjoy my leisure time.
