陶行知是一位伟大的人物。但看起来却不是这样。他衣着朴素,生活简朴。我于1944年会见他的时候,他已享有盛名：是许多知名人士把他物色出来的。然而他与普通人在一起感到同样愉快。我那时是一个兵,不是一位军官,而且我年仅19岁,可是他却邀请我到他的一个学校去看望他,后来又带我听了一次音乐会,看了一场戏和一个舞蹈节目。从根本上说,他是一位对人友善的人物,或许他还觉察到他可以对我做一点教育工作。他满腔热情地献身于教育事业,特别注重发掘人的潜力。 Tao Xingzhi is a great person. But it does not look like this. He is simple in clothes and simple in life. He met with me when I met him in 1944: he was identified by many eminent personalities. However, he was equally happy with ordinary people. I was a soldier at that time, not an officer, and I was only 19 years old, but he invited me to visit one of his schools and later took me to a concert, a show and a Dance show. Fundamentally, he is a friendly person, and maybe he notices he can do some education for me. He devoted himself enthusiastically to education, paying particular attention to exploiting human potential.
