The BBC’s one-hour documentary Du Fu, China’s Greatest Poet introduces the great poet to Western audiences (觀眾). As the first English-language documentary about Du, it compares him to Dante and Shakespeare, two of the greatest literature masters of the West.

In the film, British historian Michael Wood explores the poet’s life. He visits a number of places, such as the poet’s birthplace Gongyi, Henan province and the Du Fu Thatched Cottage (杜甫草堂) in Chengdu, Sichuan, where Du used to live. Along the way, he meets and talks to people who help to tell the fascinating stories of the poet. The film also includes interviews with scholars (學者) and recitals (朗誦) of Du’s works by British actor Sir Ian McKellen, who is known for performing Shakespeare’s works.

The documentary explains why Du’s works have been popular for centuries. “Chinese people really value the recording of history and Du Fu is better than anyone at reflecting (反映) history in his poetry. That’s because historical events are mirrored in his own life and spiritual (精神的) journey,” said Zeng Xiangbo, a professor at Renmin University.

Du lived under the rule of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong (713-756), a time of prosperity (繁榮). He was a civil servant(文職人員) in the Tang court (朝廷). But as the An Lushan Rebellion of 755 floored the empire, he escaped, took his family on the road as refugees (難民), and suffered starvation (饑餓) and poverty. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing, pouring out his concern for his country and people, as well as celebrating the simple joys of life. Known as China’s “saint of poetry”, he wrote about 1,400 poems that are still with us today.

This is what our country tries to do now — helping more students gain working spirit. To stress the importance of hard-working spirit education (勞動教育) among students of different ages, the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council released a guideline recently.

The guideline calls for students to respect work. Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits through such education.

The government has been trying to stress the importance of hard-working spirit education. But this has been overlooked in recent years. Many teens do not know about the importance of working hard and are uninterested in doing so.

According to a study of nearly 3,000 students that was done by Ningbo Evening News in March, only 22 percent of primary and middle school students help with everyday chores around the house.

Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard, the guideline says. Primary and middle schools should provide students with hard-working spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experience. For example, schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree-Planting Day.

As children’s first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.
