追光而遇 沐光而行
亲爱的老师们，在丹桂飘香美好的季节里，迎来了我国第39个教师节。
教育是国之大计，民族之根本。今年我国的教师节主题是“躬耕教坛 强国有我”，强调一位优秀的教师不仅有扎实的学术功底，更要有高尚的道德品质和热爱教育的志向与抱负。
同文教育的使命是“培育融汇中外、卓尔不群的世界公民和终身学习者”。你们怀揣教育梦想，因为共同的愿景来到同文，你们用实际行动诠释了“躬耕教坛、强国有我”。
你们严于律己，不断进取；你们心怀大爱，成就他人；你们勤奋尽责，卓尔不群。你们不断探索精进的教学方法，为践行“更中国 更世界”的办学特色奉献智慧与青春。
在此，我向全体教职工表示衷心的感谢!
感谢你们的悉心培育，让学生们得以茁壮成长；感谢你们为了学校培养一届又一届的优秀人才，付出了无数的辛勤努力和汗水。
好的学校特色不尽相同，但有一个特点，都有一支高素质、专业化的教师队伍。因此，同文要继续加强师德师风建设，提高教师的教育教学水平，培养更多的优秀人才，探索教育高质量发展。同时，同文将会更加注重关爱教师，关心教师的健康、生活，帮助所有教师减少压力，顺利开展工作，提高幸福感、获得感。
心存希冀，目有繁星；追光而遇，沐光而行。教育是照亮孩子们未来的明灯，一个灵魂唤醒另外一个灵魂，是一项崇高而伟大的事业。
今年是岭南教育集团成立30周年、同文教育集团成立9周年。三十年来，我们以利他之心、慈爱之心办学；未来，我们也将坚守初心，用心筑业、以爱育人，走向新的征程。
最后，再次祝愿教师们眼中有光，心中有爱，遇见美好，手握幸福。教师节快乐！

Chasing the Light Together
Dear teachers, in this wonderful season when Osmanthus fragrans flourishes, we celebrate the 39th Teacher’s Day of the People’s Republic of China.
Education is a major program of a country and the foundation of a nation. The theme of this Teacher’s Day is “being devoted to education and contributing to a stronger country”, which stresses that an excellent teacher should not only have a solid academic foundation, but more importantly, have lofty moral qualities and a true love for the education profession.
Our misson is "Cultivate outstanding global citizens and lifelong learners who are integrated with foreign countries". You have joined Tongman for our respective education dreams and common vision, and you have interpreted “being devoted to education and contributing to a stronger country” with your concrete actions.
You are strict with yourselves and keep making progress; you cherish love for humanity and help others succeed selflessly; you are diligent, conscientious and unmatched. You keep exploring better teaching methods, and contribute your wisdom and youth to the practice of our educational idea of “Embrace China, Embrace the World”.
Here, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all our faculty and staff members!
Thank you for your careful teaching that has enabled our students to thrive, and thank you for your tremendous hard work that has helped our school train outstanding talents year after year.
Excellent schools have different characteristics, but one thing in common is that they all have a high-quality and professional faculty. Therefore, we should further strengthen the building of teacher ethics and conduct, improve the education and teaching level of our teachers, train more outstanding talents, and explore ways of high-quality education development. In the meantime, we will pay more attention to teacher care in health and life, help all teachers relieve stress and work smoothly, and improve their senses of happiness and gain.
We see stars because of hope in our hearts, and we are gathered because of the light. Education is the bright light that enlightens the future of children, the way in which one soul awakens another soul, and a lofty and great cause.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Guangzhou Lingnan Education Group and the 9th anniversary of the establishment of Tongman Education Group. For the past three decades, my like-minded companions and I have been running schools with altruistic and compassionate minds; In the future, we will also stick to our original aspirations, and be fully dedicated to our education careers on a new journey.
Finally, may the light and love be always with you, and wish you all the best in your work and life. Happy Teacher’s Day!
