YuTing believes education is a magical moment that lets someone’s life inspire others, therefore she tries to make it happen in different ways. When YuTing as an experimental education teacher, designs different courses in middle school, likes to lead students to express their emotions through creative writing, and also likes to design an action plan about human rights with students in the course of issues discussed.
