ninj's review against another edition
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
3.0
From the local viewpoint - a group of children being educated by a village teacher - to the wider viewpoint of a galactic war - it feels like the story covers a lot of perspective. But I felt like by the end it had not made a strong point, and the galactic coverage could have been better.
Not bad, but ...

Some say that teachers are candles. They set themselves on fire so that others may see.
3.5 stars, rounded up. Far more plaintive than its two predecessors, the human elements of The Village Teacher are heavy with hope and heartbreak.
Honestly, on its own, without the extraterrestrial subplot, this would have been just as moving (maybe more so), but it packs more of a punch than the previous two graphic novel adaptations nonetheless.

刘慈欣 Liú Cíxīn has done it again! This time, he has highlighted something common and, in many ways, underappreciated like teachers and depicted their long-suffering and fervent dedication. Teachers understand their solemn role to educate the future leaders and protectors of this world. This book warns the possibility that the world would crumble without passionate and caring teachers.
