On September 10, 2026, people celebrate the 42nd Teachers’ Day in China. At No. 8 Middle School, the students are preparing a big surprise for their teachers.

Early in the morning, the students stand at the school gate with flowers in their hands. They give teachers handmade cards. The students make the cards themselves, with kind words and pictures. Some students also make a short video to say “thank you” to their teachers. The teachers are moved when they see these gifts.

In the afternoon, a special ceremony takes place in the school hall. The head teacher of the school gives a speech. Then a teacher who has taught for 20 years tells her story. “I still remember my first class,” she says. “Teaching is not an easy job, but it is full of love.” The students listen and feel proud of their teachers.

After the ceremony, the students thank their teachers. The teachers tell them the best gift is not flowers or cards—it is the students’ progress. “We are happy when our students grow and do well,” a teacher says. The students now understand that they should thank their teachers every day, not only on September 10.
