Education is the basis of our long-term strategy. Being a researcher of Ethics Studies with 11 years' teaching experience at grass-roots level, I strive for the following lofty goal. Examine and standardize the educational activities from the perspective of ethics, so that education-a practice of human beings-can fullest reflect the moral nature of human beings, eliminate and avoid all kinds of educational violence, corruption and tragedy, and better serve the free and all-round development of humans.With my thought being rooted in the reality of contemporary Chinese education practice, I am trying to address the following questions:What on earth have gone wrong with our contemporary education?Do these problems present themselves mainly in the lack of ethics on education?If so, in which specific aspects does the plight of Chinese education manifest?What's the deepest root for this dlemma?How can we get out of this ethical plight of contemporary Chinese education?Thus, based on the reality of contemporary Chinese education, I draw on the research fruits of preceding scholars who are devoted to ethical education so as to examine the current situation of Chinese education from the perspective of ethics, set the cultivation of a free and all-round human being as our ultimate goal, make the fair, humane and free education as the three dimensions to measure whether the spirit of ethic is embodied in our education practice.In addition, I'd like to make some humble proposals and reflection concerning the improvement of the status quo of Chinese education.As far as my observation is concerned, in order to boost the development of our education in line with ethical spirit and get out of the ethical dilemma of contemporary education, it is necessary that our researchers of Ethics Studies do not confine themselves to theories, instead, they should put their studies of academic construction and innovation into practice. What's more, they also have the responsibility to guide our educators to fight against all odds to lift the current education from the ethical plight.In this regard, present educators should have a solid stance, firm conviction, persistent pursuit, unyielding courage and duty-bound responsibility on ethical education, in particular, they should pay no attention to persoanl gains and interest and carry out educational practice spurred by the ethical spirit of putting the free and all-round development of students first and bearing the long-term educational strategy in mind.The whole text is divided into six parts:Chapter 1, the "Introduction" section of this article sets out the reasons and significance of my topics, provides an overview of current research at home and abroad to clarify the characteristics and innovation of my research.Chapter II mainly deals with the examination of the reality of contemporary Chinese education from the perspective of ethics in order to reveal the seriousness of the problem of ethical education.In addition, this chapter also conducts a historical analysis of the relationship between education and ethics.Chapter III consists mainly of an analysis of three ethical dilemmas in contemporary Chinese education: just, humane and free dilemmas.And a variety of detailed manifestations of these ethical dilemmas are also presented.Chapter IV focus on the analysis of the underlying causes of this ethical plight from the facets of educational aims, educational level and educational philosophy.Chapter V focuses on the ethical demands that education should have, namely the three dimensions of the ethical education: educational fairness, humanity and freedom.Chapter VI focuses on the probe that under the contemporary Chinese educational environment, how can our educators bring their role into full play.Besides, some specific ideas to guide the education out of the dilemma are also provided, namely the ethical performance educators should acquire.
