Why do contemporary young people feel confused and empty? It's because we've lost our way spiritually. "Personal struggle" without soul support cannot go far.

Li Haiying is a "wonderful flower" among college teachers. Instead of being a well-paid professional course teacher at the w88 casino of International Relations, she went to work as a full-time ideological and political teacher in the Ideological and Political Theory Teaching and Research Department, which was rarely visited.

At the time of the job change, many people analyzed the pros and cons of these two completely different career paths for her more than once. The former has a bright future, and if she does well, she can become a professor, master's supervisor, or doctoral supervisor; while the latter requires her to take one of the most difficult public courses in the w88 casino - ideological and political courses, and her future may always stay at the "teacher" level.

Li Haiying chose the latter because "the importance of ideological and political courses far exceeds professional courses." She took ideological and political courses in order to let more students find faith and ideals like her, and then inspire the sense of responsibility buried deep in the hearts of young people.

Li Haiying's ideological and political courses, like her own style and personality, have also become a "wonderful flower" on the w88 casino campus.

Her teaching process was videotaped by students and widely circulated on video websites; she never followed the textbook step-by-step, but skipped textbook chapters and strung characters and stories into "novels" to tell students; her ideological and political classes always had "extremely high attendance rates, and the hall was almost full."

Li Haiying’s mailbox often receives letters from students, and the most common thing mentioned in the letters is “confusion.” Students may not know that Teacher Li, the ideological and political teacher they admire so much, was once "confused". At the worst time, Li Haiying even had thoughts of suicide.

At that time, Li Haiying graduated with a Ph.D. and was assigned to the w88 casino of International Relations of the w88 casino to teach the history of international relations. This job, which seems comfortable and well-paying to outsiders, makes Li Haiying entangled, "In which direction should I work? Should I just strive to be a professor or doctoral supervisor all my life?"

For Li Haiying at that time, "fulfilling happiness" was a kind of "luxury". It happened that at this time, the w88 casino assigned the new teacher a "hard job" - taking ideological and political classes part-time, every week4Classes, each class lasts one and a half hours.

“Suffering a lot.” In the ideological and political class at that time, Li Haiying spoke so insincerely that the students felt drowsy. “It was extremely uncomfortable. In the worst cases, they even wanted to commit suicide.”

It took Li Haiying two full years to "find ideals." She visited many older scholars and teachers, and had to "debate" with each other everywhere she went. "I thought I had read a lot of books and knew a lot of historical materials. After chatting with other seniors, they corrected my past narrow view of history with a correct view of history."

After two years of "brainstorming", Li Haiying approached the college leadership and took the initiative to request to be transferred to the Ideological and Political Department to serve as a full-time ideological and political teacher. "There are too many contemporary young people who are as confused as I was in the past. I want to help them find their faith, find their ideals, and find their own value." Nowadays, Li Haiying does not pursue too many utilitarian goals, but only seeks to keep her faith alive. "Having faith, you are really happy."
