Today is the 21st Teacher Day, which is official set up by Standing Committee of National People’s Congress in 1985. Since then, the Teacher Day in China is celebrated on the 10 th September.
Everybody who does something good, important, and valuable deserves a day in their honor. Teachers certainly are among the more deserving. This day honors those hard working, patient and understanding people whom we entrust our children to. Teachers mold our kids in a positive direction, and affect who they are and who they become. From Kindergarten through college, teachers are an important part of our children’s lives.
So let’s give ‘em their due. If you happen to be a teacher reading this, we personally offer our thanks, for the future of China is in your hands.
