Abstract
Traditional Chinese education tries to avoid the issue of life and death. However, children are constantly confronted with and puzzled by phenomena of life and death in reality. It demonstrates children's sensitivity to life. Studies of development psychology show that children have simple understanding of life and death. Therefore, preschool education should envisage children's life-death view education. The issue of life and death is not merely a scientific one, but an ethic one. The questions about life and death raised by children imply a questioning of life value and meaning.
