Whether writing about love for the country, society and nation, or expressing love for parents, teachers and friends, it is gripping and touching everywhere. The education of love is actually quality education, which is the basis of enlightening children on how to be a person and other qualities. "Education of Love" writes down children's life and thoughts in the form of a diary, with children's tone and brush strokes. Reading and writing are true and intimate, so they are more easily accepted by children.
