Hello everyone My name is Le Thi Thuy Linh 37 years old a university lecturer at Normandie Business School in the Republic of France
I earned my master's degree from Paris School of Economics in 2013 and defended my doctoral thesis in economics at Paris Dauphine University in 2017
I am married and the mother of two sons currently attending elementary school and kindergarten
My family's life in France is quite simple yet filled with joy from life's little things
First the climate in France is quite pleasant—neither too hot nor too cold often pleasantly mild and warm
A year here has four seasons just like in northern Vietnam In summer families often go to farms or spend time at the beach
My children all love picking strawberries plums apples and harvesting tomatoes eggplants zucchini—just about any vegetables and fruits they can gather
Then回家 to a meal my mother prepared with delicious dishes made from the vegetables I had picked myself
The sea was a vid crystal-clear blue Once my family was amazed to see thousands even tens of thousands of sea urchins covering the rocky outcrops stretching right up to the shoreline
Autumn is a vibrant display of gold with golden leaves remaining on the trees for nearly a month without falling creating an incredibly poetic scene
Winter brings snow perfect for skiing and ice skating Spring bursts into bloom with peach blossoms and a profusion of flowers
The carpet with its park-like expanse is woven from millions of tiny delicate flowers
No matter where you live you'll likely find a park or green space nearby where children can play
Every day my spouse and I support each other to care for our children while also excelling in our work
My husband is a warm loving family man who always cares for and supports me and treats our children with kindness and thoughtfulness
To foster a warm family atmosphere we all go shopping and cook meals ourselves rarely ever eating out at restaurants
In Paris there are many Asian supermarkets and Vietnamese markets so I can cook various Vietnamese dishes for my husband and children such as pho bun spring rolls steamed rice rolls and more
Evenings are for relaxation and spending quality time with family reading together or playing chess
Although it's challenging when my young children are sick overall our small family's life is simple and happy
My house is close to the kindergarten and elementary school making it very convenient to drop off and pick up my child
Public transportation in Paris is highly developed I commute to work using the metro
When the train isn't crowded I can sit in one place and read until we reach the forest
Most of my students are French with exchange students from other countries as well
They're eighteen tall and lanky sometimes even looking more mature than I do
In France specifically and the West in general young people become independent at an early age
They want to decide their own lives and are influenced by many modern ideas and behaviors
From a young age my dream was to become a teacher just like my mother and grandfather
In both Eastern and Western traditional cultures a teacher is one who imparts wisdom and passes on knowledge
That means not only conveying knowledge and skills but also teaching principles ethics and moral values
In my situation as a foreigner in France my children are already grown up
Achieving that is far from easy and requires immense determination and effort
To ensure students absorb the material most effectively I typically spend considerable time thoroughly preparing each lecture
Based on students' proficiency use simple and clear language
illustrated with real-life examples images videos and more
In my teaching I don't just lecture—I engage with the students extensively
The children often appear cheerful and enthusiastic when their teacher pays attention to them and asks questions related to their own experiences
expressed their opinions and insights
Last semester I taught a course on economic policy
I have many opportunities to discuss international current events with the students
Some students show a special passion and develop a sense of responsibility
toward their nation striving to make their country strong and great once again
Sometimes I also face challenges with my attitude For example
some students display disrespectful and uncooperative behavior
In such situations the school allows teachers to reprimand or expel the student from the classroom
Therefore I believe punishment only suppresses
outward behavior not the heart of a person
As a practitioner of Falun Dafa cultivating truthfulness kindness and
forbearance I constantly remind myself to hold onto a sincere heart full of love
Respect you trust in your inherent goodness I find
that even when occasionally shaken by modern society
but that innate goodness will emerge once more when awakened by
sincere and patient presence
Therefore in expressions of rudeness
e challenging situations they present I always remind
myself to let go of negative emotions and selfishness
Truly thinking about the children
As they gradually sensed my genuine goodwill and heartfelt affection
Many children have become more open-hearted laugh more often and grown gentler
and more obedient Nowadays many young people enjoy embracing a life of freedom
I don't want to get married nor do I want to endure the hardships of giving birth and raising children
The first time they met me students would always assume from my appearance that I was unmarried
In France and perhaps in many other places
women often prefer not to mention
their age or life circumstances favoring instead how others perceive them as still young
However I think if I don't say anything the kids
will mistakenly believe I only care about my career
If you continue living this way—unmarried childless
—I don't think there's anything good for you at all
When they found out I was so much older
than them and already had two children they
were all surprised Many of them changed how they addressed me from Miss to Madam
I also help them feel the love within families
the value of family and traditional family values
rough a few small stories about our family
Thus each lesson passed alongside lessons in economics
Little by little I became immersed in traditional cultural values
so the children can see that even in the field of economics
complex issues like laziness fraud and corruption exist
Crimes and other issues will likewise be resolved and society
will become far more prosperous as human morality rises once again
To achieve such a state one must rely on education and personal self-cultivation
I myself strive to set an example through my own actions
I dress simply and neatly with my hair neatly tied back always arriving early to
prepare When class time comes I open the
door and greet the students with a smile
I still stay at the teacher's desk during class as the students sometimes need help
At the end of class I stayed behind last to organize and tidy up the equipment
If any student asked for help with their work I was always happy to assist
Day by day I could see the changes and progress in them
By the final class the entire group had become incredibly cheerful and close to me
As were about to part some students stayed behind to thank me
She kept saying she hoped to study with me again someday
That final class was especially memorable
After reviewing the entire curriculum with a little time remaining
I asked permission to interview the students with four questions
1 What makes a good teacher
2 What makes a good student
3 Record an experience about the kindness of a man who opened a school
4 So what does kindness mean to you
I want to make a video supporting the international contest
The genuine kindness of Kanjin World
and the spreading of goodness's beauty
The children happily agreed and responded in their native language
French English German Portuguese
Spanish Chinese Japanese Russian Arabic and so on
I interviewed students from two classes and several school
administrators totaling individuals who speak 14 different languages
After using a speech recognition tool to translate
your responses I was truly surprised and deeply moved
The students highly appreciate the teacher's clear easy-to-understand explanations
patience calm demeanor and cheerful attitude when entering the classroom
Many also believe that good teachers and good students are those who
respect others care deeply for them
and are attentive to helping them
This reminds me of three words: mutual respect mutual care and mutual support
my master once taught about human relationships in traditional society
Someone even said a good person is one who thinks of others
Put yourself in others' shoes What you do not wish for yourself do
not impose on others Is this not
precisely the teaching of Confucius
How can one return to the noble traditional path when the very foundations
of morality are eroding Today's young people however are able to speak out
Such kind beautiful traditional words
Truly something to be celebrated
I still remember when my son upon learning I was a teacher innocently asked
Mom every time you come to class you always say
"Hello everyone " don't
you I laughed and replied
No because your mother's students aren't children
They're grown-ups even older than your mother herself
Now I reflect and realize that as a teacher even though
my age isn't enough to regard my students as my own childre
But truly I needed the boundless heart of a mother Added
to that was the innocence and reverence of a teacher
Only then could I fulfill my dream of becoming
a missionary and taking on discipleship
elping them become upright virtuous individuals with both virtue and talent
Whenever I face difficulties or challenges in my work
I find myself recalling those early days
My master taught the
public the Fa of Falun Dafa
in the 1990s in a complex society such as China
Facing thousands of students with diverse emotions and mindsets
the master always maintains a compassionate and upright heart
He always bears a deep sense of responsibility toward society and his students which
has led millions of people to sincerely
cultivate their minds and turn toward goodness
bring countless blessings to families and society
Unfortunately it is only due to opposition toward the widespread popularity of Falun Dafa
but the Beijing authorities launched a brutal campaign against
the source of this European Buddhist meditation practice
It has not ceased since 1999
But our elders often say
Sow wind reap storm act with kindness meet with good fortune
As a result an increasing number of people around the world are becoming
aware of the goodness of Falun Dafa and condemning the persecution
The European Parliament adopted an emergency resolution
in 2024 condemning the persecution of Falun Gong
Demand that the Chinese authorities immediately release
all Falun Gong practitioners
currently detained arbitrarily
In 2025 the U S House of Representatives also
unanimously passed the law to protect Falun Gong
As a teacher I strive to follow my role model constantly
improving myself walking in
humility kindness and patience
Even though there were still many shortcomings
I gradually began to sense the power of goodness
During the final class
the student from Russia said tha
I am a very kind teacher and I
am deeply cherished by my students
When the first semester ended some
students wrote me thank-you letters
For the wonderful lessons and the lasting benefits
When I saw them again at the start of semester two
they were joyful and happy
They wished me a joyful new year
and asked if my Christmas holiday
was pleasant This is truly the most wonderful gift for a teacher
In the country of France where I live there are also many teachers who
practice Falun Dafa One elementary school
teacher even told the children a story
The legend of the Lotus
tracing the lotus's journey from the murky depths
rising steadily toward the pure surface of the sacred lake
Like the three treasures—body mind and spirit—cultivated with sincerity virtue and patience
A middle school teacher
guides the students in practicing gentle qigong exercises
mprove health and balance emotions
The Paris City Hall has previously invited practitioners of Falun Dafa
to introduce the practice to the city's residents
at an event guiding people toward a better life
Drawing from my own experiences
I truly want to tell everyone tha
Falun Dafa is a supreme and virtuous teaching of Buddhism guided by the
principles of truth kindness and tolerance in the cultivation of one's character
Help each of us become kinder and happier May everyone
be able to walk the path of truth goodness and patience
To create a bright future
Thank you all
