| Life is sacred, only once for everyone, so we should cherish our precious life. The greatpoet of India, Tagore said, the purpose of education is to transfer the breath of life to humanbeings. Life education was derived from the western countries, and then was extended to theother counties gradually. In China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao also have offered the lifeeducation, at the same time; the provinces of Shanghai, Liaoning, Hunan have issued theinterrelated implementation plans of life education. So the importance of life education isobvious. Although the research of life education has improved in China in recent years,specific implementation and development are hysteretic. Especially the phenomenon thatmany high students kill themselves and hurt other people happens repeatedly because of highpressure of college entrance exam and the lack of life education, which leads to the urgency oflife education. And it is necessary for the ideological and political classes to carry out the lifeeducation because it is battle position of moral education.Carrying out the life education in the teaching of ideological and political classes is putforward in this paper.The first part: it describes the meaning of life and the life education."Life" is coreconcept of "life education" and people have been paying attention to the life, life is concept ofpluralism and is defined as different meanings in diverse areas. Purpose of the paper is tolay a solid foundation for enhancing the substantial results of life education by analyzing thelife and the life of chiastic. The researchers of different counties and different genres payhighly attention to the life education since it is proposed and reach it. The meaning of lifeeducation is fixed by analyzing the understanding to the life education from the scholars ofeach country and China. With the life education research integrate ideological and politicalcourse content. The second part: whether the ideological and political classes open the lifeeducation is a important step in the teaching of the ideological and political classes. The paperdiscusses it by two aspects. First is about the basis of the theory, it includes the traditionalChinese life philosophy theory, life philosophy theory in western philosophy and lifephilosophy theory of the Marxist. They provide plenary theoretical basis for opening life education in the teaching of ideological and political classes. Second is about the basis ofreality, it includes being accord with the individual developmental characteristics of students,reform of ideological and political classes, the need of construction of a harmonious societyand promoting students’ attention and feeling to the life.The third part: this paper thinks and analyses profoundly the phenomenon of vitalalienation of students in actual ideological and political classes. The problem that the lifeeducation is old, curriculum separates from life, students’ individual difference is ignored inclassroom teaching and part of teacher exist in the problems in teaching of the ideological andpolitical classes exist in the actual world. The reason of why these problems exist is various.The paper mainly investigate the reasons from the following several aspects. They are includethe solidification of the class form, the influence of standard of the inherent knowledge,utilitarian of the education mission and the lack of attention to the life education.The fourth part: the paper explores the life education according to the problem that lifeeducation exists in the ideological and political classes in the high school from three aspects.They include the target and method of opening life education in the ideological and politicalclasses and improving teachers’ quality of the life education.They include the harmony of life itself, life of the main, between life of the main andsociety and between life of the main and nature. Teaching methods that include teaching wayof experiencing, dialog mode, case and inquiry affect the teaching effects directly. Whethercarrying out the life education effectively, the core is in the classroom and the key is in theteachers. So we must try our best to increase the training to the teachers about life education,improve the quality of political teachers and create the study atmosphere of the life education.The research about life education is still at the initial stage in China and faces manyproblems and difficulties. There are many issues that need teaching profession and teachingstaffs to research and explore continually.
