When staying up late and working overtime, don't always make do with instant noodles... No matter how high the work pressure is, no matter how busy the study is, you must eat well. "Not long ago, at the graduation ceremony of Yanbian University in 2025, a special representative stepped onto the stage, and she was Liu Xiaomei, a staff member of the school cafeteria. Her speech, without fancy language, brought tears to the eyes of many graduates in the audience and sparked widespread attention and discussion on the internet. Netizens all sighed: It's really heartwarming to hear these words during graduation season. In Liu Xiaomei's memories, there are precious moments spent with her students. She remembers when the graduates were still freshmen, shouting out in front of the cafeteria window, 'Auntie, have more rice' in a naive and naive manner; I remember the tired but determined gaze of the students preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination late at night; I remember the moments when students shared interesting club stories and love troubles... These seemingly ordinary interactions silently conveyed the warmth of the campus. In the university campus, although the canteen aunts did not stand on the three foot platform, they quietly guarded the students' time with a Congee, a meal and a spoon of a dish. Whether they are eating well or not, and whether they are taking care of themselves, these genuine concerns rooted in life allow students to truly feel the warmth of home. Education is a benevolent and loving career, and love is the soul of education. Without love, there can be no education. The touching scene of the cafeteria auntie stepping onto the podium is precisely because it showcases the deeper meaning of education: education is not only the transmission of knowledge, but also the nourishment of emotions, the shaping of personality, and the care for life. When the cafeteria auntie steps from the steaming "stove" to the "podium" of the graduation ceremony, those warm and simple words are the educational lessons full of fireworks. The slogan 'Eat well' contains the wisdom of cherishing life and paying attention to health; The confession of 'I will work harder and do better, and you will be happier' tells the sincere spirit of loving and dedicating oneself to one's job; The instruction of 'no matter where you go or what you do, be down-to-earth' is full of expectations for growth and is a life motto that transcends age and identity. This sincere and pure love reaches straight to the heart, nourishing the soul silently. The value of education is not one-way output, but two-way pursuit. From the cafeteria auntie being invited to perform on the podium, to the frequent appearances of campus guards such as campus guards, dormitory managers, and maintenance technicians... Nowadays, under the spotlight of college graduation ceremonies, more and more ordinary people's voices are being heard and their figures are being focused. This is a footnote to the development and progress of the times, demonstrating the humanistic warmth of a society, and at the same time, it is also a value demonstration for students. True education should be a complete cycle about "love": not only should students feel cared for, but they should also be guided to learn how to love others and be willing to give love. On the occasion of graduation, the "behind the scenes heroes" who build a warm campus background are invited to the stage to receive sincere thanks and respect from students. The profound meaning is to awaken students' deep understanding of ordinary values and gratitude for those who silently contribute around them, thus igniting their gentle kindness towards others and the world. Education is rooted in goodness. For students, knowledge can pave the way to success, while kindness can build the cornerstone of happiness. A student who grows up in a caring environment is more likely to become a confident and warm person. Only by allowing students to perceive kindness through care and understand responsibility through being protected can we help them better grow into disseminators and seeders of kindness. In this regard, the future of education needs to better balance grades and growth, knowledge and life, truly help students find their own light, and make growth a beautiful journey of learning to take responsibility and love. The essence of education is hidden in the instructions of the cafeteria auntie and manifested in the figure of ordinary guardians. May every student depart with warmth and kindness, allowing the roots of responsibility to grow deeply in their hearts, and passing on this kindness to more people. May education always be based on protection, illuminating the growth path of generation after generation of young people, and allowing every life to flourish under the nourishment of moral radiance.
