Xu Tao's husband is Professor Xiao Chuan from the Department of Education of Beijing Normal University, a famous educational scholar in China. Professor Xiao is also a firm learner. He thinks that as long as you start, learning is the most important thing. This idea has always influenced Xu Tao. In the first few years of her career, she was often anxious about her job. At that time, Professor Xiao told her that an environment that could force people to keep learning and even be full of a sense of crisis would be very good. If Xu Tao gets cold feet and goes back to teaching Chinese in public schools and stays in her comfort zone, she may become a bookish Chinese teacher instead of Xu Tao. At the same time, he also encouraged Xu Tao to observe, think, integrate into the environment, learn from the advantages of international counterparts, and enrich and improve itself. They also often discuss and share those cross-cultural educational conflicts and ideas, which collide with the sparks of thought.
