Poetry: "Teachers' Praise"

You are a red candle burning bright life, giving a lot of blood and sweat, not asking for a place in history, but spreading the fire of wisdom with your true feelings. Just like the spring silkworm dedicated her life's loyalty, just like the winter plum singing and singing the songs of early spring. How many unseen nights, how many times the lights are on, you have a figure at your desk in the long night, you add hair between your hair, you laugh on the three-foot platform, and you shorten the distance between your hearts with your love.

You are the ice and snow that the sunshine melts, and you are the guide that leads people out of the maze of science. Ah! Glorious teachers and hardworking gardeners! The fragrance of peaches and plums is your joy, silently dedicating your selfless heart. Ah! Glorious teachers and hardworking gardeners! The fragrance of peaches and plums is your joy, silently dedicating your selfless heart.
