I have always been reflecting on what kind of students we need to cultivate. Many people believe that a good educational philosophy is to enable children to enter prestigious universities for further study after high school, and then become innovative talents, management talents, leading talents, mathematicians, physicists, scientists, and other types of experts.

However, I think a good educational philosophy should not have fixed goals. Instead, it should stimulate students' potential and endow them with intrinsic motivation, so that they can become better versions of themselves. In this process, we do not want to restrict children too much with various rigid rules.

We should not limit what a student should learn and in which direction they should develop from the very beginning. Instead, we should guide and encourage students to choose what kind of talents they want to become based on their own interests and characteristics. Only in this way can we stimulate a student's potential to the greatest extent.

We should encourage diversified development, never easily deny any possibility of any student, and let students find themselves and achieve self-fulfillment. We advocate diversified development of students. In addition to considering students' academic abilities, we also attach great importance to the personality and characteristics displayed by each student. On our campus, there is the most diverse student group and the most inclusive learning environment and atmosphere.

Then, what is the purpose of cultivating our children into various experts and social elites?

I think that whether it is higher education or secondary education, the people cultivated should not be sophisticated egoists, but those who can continuously grow themselves and, in the process of self-growth, care about society and make contributions to it.

Educators need to think about what children can do for society while growing up. I hope that while students are becoming better versions of themselves, they can also learn to care for others, thereby building a better world.

I pay great attention to students' extracurricular activities, as well as their quality-oriented education and all-round development. On the road of growth, we should encourage children to explore and grow on their own. Children do not participate in extracurricular activities just to get into college or meet college application requirements, but to improve themselves through these activities. I hope to pass on my educational philosophy to every student and parent, so as to help them to a greater extent.

I have always held deep admiration for the spirit of the renowned Southwest Associated University in history. In just eight years, the university became a brilliant highlight in the history of Chinese education and even world education. In that special era, the Southwest Associated University told all teachers and students to "be resolute, steadfast and diligent". Despite the lack of material resources, it continued its educational endeavors unceasingly. It not only preserved the cultural blood of the nation but also cultivated a large number of outstanding talents for China. How did it achieve this?

Professor Mei Yiqi said, "What makes a university is not the presence of grand buildings, but the presence of great masters." A good education goes beyond knowledge and curriculum systems. It can inspire the individual and collective ideals and passions for the world among all teachers and students, which cannot be brought by material things. While inheriting and practicing the educational concepts of our predecessors, we are also realizing our own educational dreams. We are working tirelessly and striving ceaselessly to run a good school and cultivate a generation of talents.
