There are always different opinions in different eras, we must tolerate and listen

For the Hong Kong society and the education sector, the anti-amendment incident in the previous year was undoubtedly a challenging year. How should we treat young people? Chen Dian believes that there are always different opinions in society in different eras: "That is to say, listening to discman (portable CD player) ), the previous generation listened to cassettes; we played on the phone and the previous generation listened to the radio." He thinks that it is normal to have opinions, but they require common ground while reserving differences. Young people must also be taught to respect each other; tolerance must also be listened.

He believes that "youth should be enthusiastic, rather than being a hidden youth."

To know more clearly, you must understand clearly.” When handing over to Yinghua, he said that he would communicate with the school further.

"Don’t leave students easily to outsiders at the last minute. If you hand over the responsibility of education to others, please do. education!"
