I found that it was a hard task to teach the student to be well-behaved, especially the junior high school students. Today I met a student that he always talked on class and didn’t listen to my teaching. I told him to be quiet almost every week but he still doing things in his way. Last week, I told him to change his seat next week because he continued talking on class, but he didn’t change his seat today and still didn’t care about my warning. I told him to change his seat again than he scolded me in dirty words. I was not only angry but also disappointed. He should do self-examination instead of blame me. It was impolite for a student to speak dirty words. I didn’t expect he can apologize to me, but he should do apologize and be polite to teachers.

You have learned a hard lesson, I'm afraid, and lost a battle in a war you're destined to lose unless you change your attitude about how to conduct classes.
First, you can't teach students to be well-behaved. They learn how to behave from their parents. If they're rude and selfish in your class, it's because their parents are rude and selfish at home.
Second, junior high school kids are the absolute worst. It's because they have more hormones running through their blood than other youngsters. And that's because their bodies are changing more rapidly than the bodies of other youngsters. Little boys are turning into physiological men, and little girls are turning into physiological women. I hate teaching junior high school kids. I hated being a junior high school kid. My son is going to be a junior high school kid in about nine months. I'm not looking forward to that.
"Today I met a student that he always talked on class and didn’t listen to my teaching." This sentence has three misusages. But before that, you need to tell us where you were teaching. At a cram school? Practice teaching in a junior high school? That would help us understand your difficulties a little more.
First problem: "a student that he always" should be "a student who always".
Second problem: "talked on class" should be "talked in class".
Third problem: "didn’t listen to my teaching" should be "didn’t pay attention when I was teaching".
You claim to have been both disappointed and angry, but your behavior and words suggest that you were defeated in a little contest of wills. That's very often what happens in classrooms, especially when the offending students don't want to be there. I always cater to their desire to leave by throwing them out of my classroom. If you take the nonsense they give you -- the dirty words from this student, in this case -- then you not only lose the battle, but you lose the respect of all the other students in the class. But you know that because you seem to feel that you don't deserve respect: "I didn’t expect he can apologize to me, but he should do apologize and be polite to teachers." Why didn't you expect him to apologize to you? You said that he "didn't listen to my teaching", so that implies that you were at least attempting to be a teacher. Children who curse at their teachers don't do self-examination unless they are forced to. That boy got away with what he said to you. You need to show him that you will not put up with him. You need to ask his parents whether they know how poorly he behaves in your classroom. You also need to take some assertiveness training so that little kids don't step on you. And you need to do some self-examination to see why that boy knows (not thinks) he can get away with treating you so disrespectfully.
If I were you, I would be very angry. I think you are a good teacher,you don't need to care the student too much.
The student was very bad. I thought you were very mad at him and flet very disappointed about it. I think as a teacher, you should do what you can do, but if something that you can not handle it,you can try many ways to slove the problem. If you did nothing wrong,just let it be because you do your best already.
Your writing is pretty clear to read.
