"Do noble things and you'll have good reputation; what people respect most is your virtue instead of gook looks." These are some of the lines from Di Zi Gui (Standards for Being a Good Student/Child), one of the elementary classics in ancient China, and the reciters are foreign kids at Hanlin Primary School in Suzhou Industrial Park. The teachers use dialogues to help students understand and memorize the classic texts and to communicate a kind of "shining, quiet, and warm love" to those from different cultural backgrounds.
