After returning to China in 1917, he successively founded Xiaozhuang School, Shanhai Public School, Xin'an Tour Group, Yucai School, Social University, etc., and trained a large number of talents. Now, some short stories from Mr. Tao's great life are selected for readers. In 1927, Mr. Tao founded "Xiaozhuang School", turning a poor and backward "Xiaozhuang" into a hot "Xiaozhuang". Mr. Tao's pioneering work has already left the reactionaries stuck in their throats. After the "April 12th" counter-revolutionary coup, Chiang Kai-shek extended his tentacles to Xiaozhuang. One day, the student on duty ran into the classroom panting and said to Mr. Tao, who was giving a lecture, "Chiang Kai-shek is here. Will you pick him up?" Mr. Tao pushed his old-fashioned glasses and replied, "Go and ask him if he has something to do with me or is he coming to visit the school?" After that, he continued his lecture. After a while, the student on duty rushed back to report: "Chiang Kai-shek said he came to have a look." Mr. Tao said "um", and after a moment of thought, he said, "Then... I won't see him." Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek's teacher was so arrogant, he was bitter. Soon, Xiaozhuang was sealed up, and Mr. Tao was wanted on the charge that Xiaozhuang was a communist, which hindered customs. You should study social sciences. During the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Tao set up a "Yucai School" in Chongqing in order to bring up a new generation of national liberation, and selected many orphans to attend school. There is a female student who is the child of Korean anti-Japanese soldiers. Her talent is just showing, and her husband loves her very much. But when my husband learned that she was a North Korean child, he said in a consultative tone, "You'd better join the social group and study social science, okay?" The Korean girl asked puzzled, "Why? I liked composition and poetry since childhood ¡­" Mr. Tao patiently enlightened him: "Your motherland needs philosophy, political economy and scientific socialism more now!" After Mr. Tao pointed out, the girl understood. She seemed to see her father fighting at the foot of Changbai Mountain. Anyone who gets along with him, no matter young or old, is deeply attracted to him like a nail meets a magnet. According to Xinhua Daily, in 1938, Mr. Tao publicized the anti-Japanese war, returned from overseas, and as soon as he stepped into Wuhan, he went to visit the needy children in nurseries. At the beginning of the speech, a word-"spring" was opened for the children. Mr. Wang said, "Spring" represents playing music in the spring breeze and dancing with flowers. Seeing "Spring" means seeing the hope of the Chinese nation. Divide the word "Spring" into three parts, that is, "three", "people" and "day". If the three are a crowd, it means that everyone can unite and overthrow Japanese imperialism! You see, isn't the word "day" below "three" and "people"? Speaking of which, the children cheered and chanted endlessly. Mr. Wang's move is not a word game, but a light shining in his soul, and that light is the crystallization of Mr. Wang's lifelong follow-up to the party.
