2. Tao Xingzhi's character evaluation
Tao Xingzhi's thoughts and practices expressed with childlike innocence represent the direction of advanced culture in contemporary China. There were many crises in modern China, and "saving the country through education" became the dream of many intellectuals, among whom Tao Xingzhi was one of the most outstanding figures.
With his childlike innocence of "holding a heart without a blade of grass", he explored a new way for China's education. The most commendable thing is that he not only explored in theory, but also tried to practice civilian education in the spirit of "being a camel". He has been steadfast for 30 years, and his spirit is respected by people and admired by the world.
Tao Xingzhi is not only a creative educator, but also a brave and outstanding anti-fascist fighter.
