He perceived and cherished their talents very much and was pleased to help them to make progress. He not only patiently taught them advanced academic methods, but also supported their career development. At the same time, he also influenced the youths with his personality and knowledge which helped to cultivate generations of talents of pre-school education in modern Chinese history.
