The book The Education of Love was translated by the educator Mr. Xia Mianzun. In the preface of the translator, Mr. Xia wrote that when he first read the Japanese translation of this book, he shed tears. Later, when he translated or casually read it, his eyes were often filled with tears of shame and gratitude. I have been a coach for more than ten years. This book also brought me great mental tremor, and I was moved to tears several times. Isn't this "Chronicle of the School Year for the Third Grade Students in Italian Primary Schools" a textbook on "love" dedicated to pupils aged nine to thirteen, and dedicated to parents and teachers related to children?
The Education of Love is "the first real textbook in Italy to cultivate a new generation of society" and is also recognized as "the most caring and instructive reading". This book has brought world fame to Italy and the author himself. Armitage, a former children's writer, deserves the respect of Italy and the whole world.
In the form of a diary, The Education of Love records a pupil Amrico's life and feelings in and out of school for ten months from the beginning of the fourth grade to the last exam of the school year. During this period, her parents' letters to Amrico and her husband's monthly cases were also recorded. The author asked this innocent and kind child to observe with his eyes and feel the love around him with his heart. This kind of love includes national love, social love and national love, as well as small love such as parents' love, teachers' love and classmates' love. Great love is like river irrigation. With the rise and prosperity of this country, little love runs like blood. With this, the country will thrive in the future. When reading this book, I am always moved by lofty feelings. No matter where I read, I was moved, and this kind of moving never stopped. I seem to forget that this is a literary work, and I love every lovely character in it. Every gentleman in Lin Qiu School is amiable and respectable. They love and are loyal to the cause of education, regard students as their own children, and devote all their physical and mental feelings to educating every student into a person with excellent academic performance. In Chulin School, every child will be concerned, every virtue will be praised, and every good thing will be praised. Students will not only learn new knowledge in each class, but also have more and deeper understanding of history, society and life every day. What is more commendable is that they make moral progress every day. Gentlemen are well-intentioned, and the vivid heroes and teenagers in the example of every month move and inspire these innocent and kind children in Lin Qiu School with their lofty patriotism, justice, courage, kindness and filial piety. Outside the school, parents give their children great love and care, are happy for their growth and progress, and are also afraid of their lack of temperament and conduct. The letters written by Amrico's parents to their children show their love for the motherland, admiration for soldiers, respect for workers, sympathy for the unfortunate, and understanding and respect for children. Outside of school and family, people can feel this almost all-encompassing love education all over Italy anytime and anywhere. From the king to the poor, everyone is showing this kind of love education to the new generation.
The reason why I completely forgot that this is a literary work is because this book shows that the education of love is omnipresent and omnipotent, and the education of love can cultivate real talents. I sincerely hope that today's China can also have such a pure land of mind, even if it only exists in the purest and purest campus.
