During house cleaning, I surprisingly found a book named “貞觀政要” in the ‘landfill.’ I couldn’t help reading it from cover to cover, for it has changed my perception of traditional Chinese wisdom. Traditional Chinese wisdom in the workplace mostly focuses on trickery and manipulating the dark side of human nature. But as for me, education is more about inspiring people’s brightness. From the teachers-students relations to the staff team collaboration, the teaching of Jesus on servanthood provides people hope. “You know that those considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you. Whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all.－Mark 10: 42－44.” The book is an “alternative” Chinese classic for its humanism is declared in the first chapter: “Leaders must first consider the needs of the followers. If the leaders satisfy their convenience at the expense of the followers, it is like feeding a man with the flesh from his thighs. The belly is full, but the man dies.” Though it is not exactly what Jesus highlights on servanthood, it provides another view to explain why “whoever would be great among you must be your servant.”
