In the 1990s, no child in Xue Fagen's classroom knew about Aesop's fable The Fox and the Grapes, which for Xue was disconcerting.
The year 2008 marked the 30th year since Xue started teaching Chinese at Shengze Experimental Primary School, a rural school in Jiangsu province. Two decades ago, he was the youngest national senior teacher in Jiangsu.
When he taught Aesop's fable again in 2017, students rushed to reply, and some answers surprised him.
