Sayings to Live By

Yuyao Experimental School is a large complex. Three large buildings encircle a courtyard area. Busts of 4 famous Chinese thinkers are in the courtyard. 5 to 6 additional buildings serve as dormitories for the students who live on campus. Today I visited one of the student rooms. Eight students share a room... (Four sets of bunk beds). Each bed has a thick reed mat that serves as a mattress. A rolled up blanket is at the end of each bed. Students remove their shoes when they enter the room and put on a pair of slippers. The rooms are very cool and comfortable, each with its own air conditioner. Here is where students go to rest right after lunch. I'll have to find out where the non-boarders take their rests.

Along most hallways is artwork and motivational sayings:




"I have succeeded because I can identify my mistakes and correct them more quickly than others."




"Only when you bravely learn to recognize your own mistakes can you have the chance to own good judgement. Only when you recognize your mistakes can you learn to be a responsible and successful individual."




"A person's reading history is a history of the growth of the human spirit, human teachers and students inside the human growth. If the teacher is a spiritual desert, how can he hope to become an oasis to the hearts of his students."



"Take every student to heart. Be their life or life quality to take China's future into concern!"



"Progress needs only one reason, but standing still needs one hundred reasons. A coward constantly looks for 100 reasons to prove he is not a coward, but a brave warrior never needs a reason to prove that he is a brave warrior."

These are just a sampling of many such signs on every floor around the school. They provide a good window into the mindset of educators in this country.

Yi Huier jian!
