perhaps, apart from parents, there is no other group of people like them, whose words, intentional or unintentional, will be engraved in the long river of life by another group of people. their name is: teachers.
on the eve of the 40th teachers' day, this summer, the shanghai municipal education and health work party committee, shanghai municipal education commission and xinmin evening news jointly launched a short video collection activity for university, middle school and primary school students in shanghai, inviting students to use the title "i remember you often said ______" to extract those words that have comforted you, encouraged you, warmed you and guided you, and tell the little stories behind them.
today, more than a thousand videos have come with true feelings, and through the system platform, electronic greeting cards have been generated to send blessings to the teachers.

"i didn't expect it, what a surprise!" became the same sentence many teachers said after receiving greeting cards.
"go out for a walk after class. you can focus on the next lesson only after you have a good rest!" "you are great. i believe you can do it!" "you are just like my children."... at the primary school affiliated to shanghai jiaotong university, more than 60 teachers were "praised by name" by children. the school was thoughtful and printed out electronic greeting cards, which were delivered to the teachers before yesterday's teacher's day theme event. "i really didn't expect that the children would remember my casual words so well!" teacher zheng jun was surprised that her card came from an introverted and taciturn boy in the class. it turns out that the children can see the teachers' efforts and remember them in their hearts.
teacher huang qingwen of shanghai world foreign language primary school has been the head teacher for many years. she is used to making soup for the children "thick" and "thicker" every day, and reminding them to eat more so that they can grow up. sometimes, when she sees which dish the children like, she will share the food on her plate with the children. this ordinary "motherly" mumbling advice and care was recorded by ding tongxin, a fifth-grade girl. "i didn't expect that the students would notice such a small thing, and i was very moved." teacher huang said.

teacher wang lan of huangpu district luwan no. 1 central primary school has been teaching for 30 years this year. more than 20 videos from the children have become her most precious teacher's day gifts. in the third (4) class she teaches, there are three lovely boys whom she calls the "lucky three treasures" - "hu dabao", "chen xiaobao" and "he baobao". the three children have a common characteristic when they enter the school: they are innocent, slow to warm up, slow to move, and never in a hurry. chen xiaobao was hospitalized due to illness, and the other two "babies" sent their thoughts. "teacher wang often says that we are best friends!" "hu dabao" likes this sentence of teacher wang the most. wang lan reveals the secret - for the slow "little snails", you can't rush them, you can't rush them, "coaxing and deceiving" is the best way. "so i always tell them that your handwriting is great, teacher wang thinks you are my best friend!"

sometimes i would even jokingly "lie" to them, "teacher wang thinks you have become uglier recently, because handwriting reflects a person's personality. has your handwriting regressed recently?" for younger children, these words from teachers are very useful. "although being a teacher is very hard and tiring, i am also very lucky to meet so many lovely children, and they take every word i say as true." wang lan was very emotional. when she was collecting opinions on after-school care in the first grade, "hu dabao" quietly told her that he wanted to stay in school until 8 o'clock in the evening. she thought the child's family had special reasons, but unexpectedly, the child said, "i want to spend more time with you."
