Everyone believed that the “life and practice” pedagogy that has both school practice, philosophical thinking, and theory and practice has strength, temperature, and character. It is able to go abroad and “stand up”, has its own unique academic character and is able to solve China’s practical problems and contemporary difficulties. It stems from the theory originator’s own life consciousness, academic personality and power of creation.
