An old person I respect is a 65-year-old Chinese teacher who is wise, I think. When I met him firstly, he was teaching a course talking about western history of ancient Greece online. His teaching is brilliant and impressed. Because he did not just teach the knowledge of history event in the period, he highlighted the relationship between events. He emphasizes the important of logic and critical thinking which lack and ignore in our school. I get a new idea from him and begin to see things in the different aspect using the tools he stresses. It’s the reason why I respect him so much.
