💡 Cultural Insight: Valuing talent and pedagogical devotion

Chinese culture traditionally celebrates 'Bole xiang ma' (recognizing hidden talent like Bole appraising fine horses), viewing the discovery and nurturing of promising prospects as a noble responsibility. Educators are often willing to break conventional rules or offer charitable support to ensure talent is not wasted.
