The purpose of this study is to explore the formation process of career calling and the meaning of life through the life stories of senior elementary school teachers. This study adopts a narrative research approach. The research participants were selected through purposive selection, and four elementary school teachers with more than 20 years of experience and who were mentally comfortable with their current work and life were invited. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, and the life stories of the research participants were summarized using"overall-content" and "category-content" to understand the process of the formation of career calling. The research results present the formation process of career calling in a five-stage multi-level dynamic process: (1) Initial calling - implicit calling period; (2) Calling temptation and collision - calling shaking period; (3) Awareness and reshaping of calling - transformation and reconciliation period; (4) Stabilization and deepening of calling - calling practice period; (5) Transcendence and inheritance of calling - calling integration period. Through important events in life, we can see the coping styles, cognitive adjustments, and self-reflection that individuals adopt when facing different situations, and understand how life stories influence individual thinking, thereby promoting the formation of career calling. In addition, the connection between career calling and the meaning of life includes: career calling gives life a sense of direction and stability, challenges in life become opportunities to deepen the calling, and through the practice of career calling, contributions can be made to society.
