听南通人谈家乡的教育,他们总不免要自豪地提到张謇——这位为早期的南通教育事业奠定基础的实业家、教育家,但那毕竟是本世纪初的事情了。更令他们自豪的,还是在历史跨进了一个全新的时代之后南通教育事业获得的长足的发展。听李炎局长关于南通教育的一席谈话,那口吻、那情怀、那气派,叫人很容易感觉到南通人的这种自豪感。 Listening to Nantong people talking about their hometown education, they always can not help but mention Zhang Jian, the industrialist and educator who laid the foundation for the early education of Nantong, but it was after all the beginning of this century. What is even more proud of them is that after the history has entered a new era, the education industry in Nantong has achieved great development. Listening to Li Yan’s speech on Nantong’s education, the tone, the feelings, and the style make people feel this kind of pride in Nantong.
