At the beginning of the Lunar New Year, a sudden outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic disrupted people's normal work, study and life. The word 'morality' is on the horizon, but isn't it a more valuable learning opportunity and a more realistic life lesson? All these most vivid materials are the external embodiment of 'virtue', be it the most beautiful people who faced difficulties and put the national interest first, or the warm kindness of volunteering and donating money; be it the search for the source of the pandemic that caused this devastating outbreak, or criticism towards some self-willed people. Therefore, not only did the fight against the coronavirus pandemic provide everyone with a vivid moral education lesson, but also let us realize the importance of moral education.
As we all know, March is the traditional month of learning from Comrade Lei Feng. Besides, there are many important anniversaries in March (International Women's Day on 8th March, Chinese Arbor Day on 12th March). Also, the last week of March is the National Safety Education Week. Thus, in order to better promote students' good behavioral habits, and cultivate their gratitude feelings, under the new circumstances of pandemic prevention and control and no suspension of learning, Anqing Foreign Language School's Moral Education Department seized the favorable opportunity and laid a solid ground for moral education by means of the class meetings on the DingTalk platform. Meanwhile, the Moral Education Department called on all the students from Grade 7 and Grade 8 to learn from Comrade Lei Feng as well as the healthcare workers and volunteers who fought bravely on the front line of anti-pandemic so that the morality-oriented education would inherit traditional Chinese virtues.
To be exact, the main content of the moral education activity month is composed of four chapters: chapters of helping others, warmth, greening and safety. Specifically, students from two grades carried out a series of targeted theme activities such as outstanding solicit articles, handcopied paper contest, doing one thing within our power for the female compatriots around us during self-quarantine, designing slogans of green keeping for public benefit in addition to homemade billboards for greenness preservation. At the same time, the themed class meetings were held to carry forward socialist ethics; More noticeably, safety education was implemented on Safety Education Day for national primary and secondary school students so that we could launch safety education and create a favorable atmosphere for students' healthy growth.
All in all, the colorful and diversified moral education activity month will be over in a twinkling of an eye. The students are highly motivated to participate in the activity during which they realized self cognition, understood the truth and learnt to understand life. Evidently, the moral education activities could not only cultivate students' good moral character, but also trained their strong will and formed good behavioral habits. In the meantime, Anqing Foreign Language School made full use of the moral education environment, which was also an effective way to cultivate students' sense of social responsibility. Overall, 'virtue' is self-discipline, so let us shape people with 'virtue' to awaken the flower of profound civilization in Chinese culture.
