The Way of the Teacher, the Spirit of the Hero

The Way of the Teacher, the Spirit of the Hero is an educational micro-drama that blends wuxia time-travel with light comedy. Liu Jinghong, a great hero of the ancient Tianshan Sect, accidentally travels to the Teacher Training College of Tongnan District, Chongqing, and mistakes the modern campus for a "martial arts alliance" dedicated to passing down the way of the teacher. With his unique logic that "swordsmanship is pedagogy," he uses a jianghu perspective to solve real-world problems such as dull classrooms, rigid teaching research, and scarce rural teaching resources, driving frontline teachers to transform and grow as they take part in Sichuan-Chongqing study visits and deliver lessons to rural schools. In the end, he finds a spiritual home in the new world where "the classroom is the jianghu," vividly embodying the essence of the way of the teacher: "The great hero serves the country and the people; the great teacher serves the students and the lessons."
