海内外神墨老师及所有神墨同仁：

Dear Shenmo teachers and colleagues,

 

大家好！

Greetings to you all!

 

今天是第三十八个教师节，也是中国传统的中秋佳节。值此欢度双节之际，谨向全体神墨老师和海内外神墨人致以节日的问候与真诚的祝福！

Today is the 38th Teacher's Day as well as the Mid-autumn Day, a traditional festival of China. On the occasion of celebrating the two festivals, I would like to extend my sincere blessings to all Shenmo teachers and Shenmo people at home and abroad.

 

天心月圆，师道永恒。在这个特别的月圆之日，我的思绪再次回到了24年前。当时24岁的我，与每一位年轻的神墨老师一样，站在珠心算课堂的讲台上，面对一双双求知的眼睛，激动的心情真切犹新。二十四年后的今天，时代和神墨都发生了巨大变化，幸运和自豪的是，二十四年如一日，我们坚守初心，怀揣热爱与使命，一直在传道授业解惑的师者之路上坚定前行。

On this special day, my mind has gone back to 24 years ago. At that time, I was 24 years old. Like every young Shenmo teacher, I stood on the podium of the abacus mental math class, facing pairs of curious eyes. I still remember my excitement at that moment. 24 years later, the times and Shenmo have changed dramatically. What makes us proud is that to this day, we are still sticking to our original intention and mission, with love for education cause in our heart, and we are still forging ahead on the road of being a teacher.

 

“真教育是心心相印的活动，唯独从心里发出来，才能打到心灵的深处”——二十四年教育工作实践中，我们惟真惟实，深切体会到陶行知先生这句话的深意。教育，是生命对生命的影响，是灵魂对灵魂的唤醒，师道文化是神墨文化的底色，也是神墨文化的核心。在神墨，每一位老师都有平凡而感人的故事，每一个学员都是独一无二的闪耀之星。日常教学、与孩子相处的点点滴滴，便是我们对“助亿万人进步”使命最好的躬身践行。

Tao Xingzhi, a famous Chinese educator, once said: "The genuine education is the communion of heart with heart. Only when it comes out of one's heart can it reach the other one's heart." In the 24 years of education practice, we have never stopped seeking the truth and pursuing advancement, and we have deeply realized the profound meaning of Mr. Tao's words. Education is a process of one life influencing another life and one soul awakening another soul. The teacher culture is the foundation and core of Shenmo culture. In Shenmo, each teacher has ordinary but touching experience, and each student is a unique shining star. Daily teaching and getting along with children are our best practice of the mission of "helping People Progress".

 

十年树木，百年树人，时间是忠实的记录者和见证者。2022年，神墨创办24周年，神墨3.0时代开启。继往开来，我们更需要不忘初心。

It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to bring up a generation of good men. Time is a faithful chronicler and witness. The year 2022 has witnessed the 24th anniversary of Shenmo and the beginning of Shenmo 3.0 Era. In the future, we need to remember our original aspiration more than ever.

 

无论何时，我们当敬畏教育，让自己葆有育人初心。桃李不言，下自成蹊。用心用情用爱育人，上好每一堂课，对每一个孩子负责，以平等、尊重、信任、赏识、关注、激励的爱人之心，让教育回归本质与原点，这是我们矢志不渝的教育追求。

We should always revere education and keep ourselves with the original intention of education. "Peaches and plums do not talk, yet a path is formed beneath them." We will make it our unwavering pursuit to educate and benefit others with enthusiasm and love; follow the educational concept of equality, respect, trust, appreciation, attention and encouragement; and bring education back to its essence and origin.

 

无论何时，我们当专注成长，让自己葆有成长初心。3.0时代，神墨的课程在不断升级，更需要我们以专业提升带动自我成长，以真才实学成就教育梦想。未来之路，愿我们一起快乐精进，以进步者姿态不断超越自我，在三尺讲台成就自己的“三圆人生”。

We should always focus on growth and keep ourselves with the original intention of growth. In 3.0 era, Shenmo will constantly upgrade its courses, and it is even more necessary for us to promote self-growth with professional improvement and to achieve our educational dreams with true skills and genuine knowledge. On the road ahead, let's make progress together and surpass ourselves unremittingly, and achieve balanced development of our career, family and self-growth.

 

无论何时，我们当坚守使命，让自己葆有助人初心。对于家长、合作者与身边人，我们将带着爱与同理心，给其温暖，给其力量，给其帮助，给其智慧。在神墨，我们一起进步——这是神墨人之间的深层默契，也是我们想对孩子、家长与所有合作伙伴表达的心声。

We should always stick to our mission and keep ourselves with the original intention of helping others. For student parents, cooperative partners and people around us, we will get along with them with our love and empathy and give them warmth, strength, help and wisdom. In Shenmo, we make progress together. This is the tacit understanding between Shenmo people, and it is also what we want to express to children, parents and all partners.

 

无论何时，我们当心怀家国，让自己葆有奉献初心。教育是立国之本，强国之基，作为教育工作者，我们更应心存教育报国之念，以师者本色勇于担当。3.0时代，神墨也将更注重企业责任与公益事业，愿我们都能乐于付出，让自己的人生在奉献利他中更加精彩。

We should always care about our families and the country and keep ourselves with the original intention of dedication. Education is the very foundation for building stronger China. As educators, we should shoulder our responsibility to serve the country through education. In 3.0 era, Shenmo will pay more attention to corporate responsibility and public welfare undertakings. Let's make our lives more wonderful through dedication and altruism.

 

守初心，向未来。教育是一个静待花开的过程，他的根可能是苦的，但结出的果实却是芳香甜美。我们彼此深信，做三四月的事情，八九月自有收获。纸短情长，愿每一位老师心中有繁花似锦，眼里有星辰大海，紧握粉笔的手，能让每一种颜色盛开。愿我们同心同行，在平凡中坚守，在坚守中成就不凡，愿我们每个人都能成为更好的自己。

Let's hold fast to the initial aspiration and look to the future. Educating is a process of waiting for flowers to bloom. The root may be bitter, but the fruit must be sweet. We deeply believe that if we do what we should do in March and April, we will definitely gain our own harvest in August and September. May all teachers have flowers in their hearts, oceans of stars in their eyes, and accompany every child to grow up happily. Let's work together to achieve extraordinary success with perseverance. May we all become a better self.

 

“青山一道同云雨，明月何曾是两乡”。无论身处何地，神墨人的心永远在一起。再次向海内外所有神墨人送上诚挚的节日祝福，祝大家双节快乐，阖家幸福！

As an ancient Chinese poem reads, “Green hills immerse in the same cloud and rain. The same moon lights up towns however far away.” No matter where you are, the hearts of Shenmo people will always be together. Last but not least, I would like to send my sincere wishes to all Shenmo people at home and abroad once again. Happy Teachers' Day! Happy Mid-Autumn Day! Wish you a happy family and all the best!
