When the National People's Congress proclaimed Teachers' Day in 1985, the 79-year-old Zhao Puchu copied his Ode to Teachers (Tune: Gold Threads Melody, composed seven years before) for the National Education Work Conference. The copies, extolling teachers' devotion to education, were given to teachers as gifts. This work, written with an uninterrupted flow brushwork and with compact arrangements of space, was one of the copies.
