Chu Văn An - The Teacher for All Ages | Vietnam Within Us

Two high officials dismount at the village gate and walk the rest of the way barefoot to visit their old teacher, living in hiding on a mountain. He is Chu Văn An, remembered as "Vạn Thế Sư Biểu," the model teacher for ten thousand generations.

He once led the national academy. After a petition asking for seven corrupt courtiers to be beheaded went unanswered, he hung up his cap and retired to Chi Linh to grow herbs and keep teaching. His students, by then powerful ministers, never stopped honoring him.

As we open the month of thanks to teachers, may this story bring someone to mind.
