Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul.They are tasked with the mission to spread knowledge ideas and truth.But there's one person in China who is called the "teacher of teachers".
    He is Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi.This year marks the 130 anniversary of his birth.People in different parts of China commemorated（紀念）Tao by visiting his memorial halls or holding meetings to reflect on his thoughts on education.
    Born in Anhui province，China，1891，Tao studied at Columbia University，US，in 1914.There he studied educational philosophy under the guidance of John Dewey，an American philosopher and educational reformer（改革家）.
    But when Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator，he did not blindly copy Dewey's education method or theories.
    For Tao，education is an active process in real-life experiences rather than one of telling and being told.He proposed"unity（融合） of teaching，learning，and reflective acting".
    Apart from reforming education methods，Tao also tried his best to promote mass education.（推進大眾教育）
    After conducting surveys in Beijing，Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921，Tao was surprised to learn that the rate of urban illiteracy （文盲） in China went beyond 70 percent.To solve the problem，Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working.To deal with the lack of teachers and money，in 1927，Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal college（曉莊師范學(xué)院） in the northern suburbs（郊區(qū)） of Nanjing to train teachers and educators，most of whom became teachers at rural schools.
    Even during the anti-Japanese war，Tao never forgot his ambition.He set up Yucai Middle School in the suburbs of Chongqing and offer free education to refuge children and children of the Communist Party of China members.
    Maybe Tao's motto is the best explanation for his life， "Giving a whole heart，yet taking nothing in return，not even a leaf of grass."
