The Significance of Life Education
Life education is an education oriented to life and human life and death. Its goal is to make people learn to respect life, understand the meaning of life and the relationship between life and me, learn to live actively, healthily and independently, and achieve physical and mental harmony, career success and happiness through mutual care, recording, gratitude and sharing of life, so as to realize the greatest value of self-life.
Life education covers the whole process from birth to death and all aspects involved in this process, which is not only related to people's survival and life, but also related to people's growth and development, and more related to people's essence and value. The core goal of life education is to make everyone become "myself" through life management, and finally realize the life value of "I am for me", that is, to show all the love and bright spots in life and glow their unique beauty and brilliance for society and the world.
