Rural Education as a Reasoning Object: Personal Narratives and Reflection from Writing

The world of rural education is not only about the concrete physical space and the social space of cultural dimension in which rural education takes place, but also connects the time continuity of education and the present-past comparison, and even shapes the spiritual home of the agencies of educational action. People in the context of rural education are subject to the temporal and spatial regulations of the educational process on the one hand, while at the same time constructing their own spiritual world inward. The rural scene, land, fields, animals and plants are the broad background of rural education, and they all constitute the educational text in a cultural sense. In order to avoid the trap of writing about the rural from an elite cultural perspective that overlooks the under-class, and to avoid reducing academic writing into nostalgic personal lyric, thus falling into the trap of textual vanity and romanticizion, academic writings should take individual's own reproduction as the main object of reflection, and understand the rural and rural education in real time-space dimension in accordance with the specific, episodic, personal and daily experience.
