I shared the movie Freelance Writer this week. The film was finished last Friday, and it was not until today that the harvest was sorted out because of the serious delay. Take your time and accept who you are. Isn't this part of knowing yourself? Yes, it is.
The story begins at Wilson's school. Eileen Gruvi, the hostess, is a teacher in a bad class in this school. This group of students from different social classes are full of hatred, hostility, ignorance and confusion. It's a nightmare for all teachers. Teachers can't avoid it. They just hope to get enough time to graduate early. The new Irene naturally lost a hot potato and took over the class.
This matter was known by her father, who loved her very much since childhood, tried his best to cultivate her, and also raised his own questions.
Yes, in terms of education, figure, appearance, ability and family background, it is enough to find a job that matches your identity and enjoy life. Why waste time, life and talent on these people? I don't know this feeling, maybe I just met it at this time. Obviously, Irene didn't want to give up, but she couldn't convince her father, and then her lover joined the conversation.
I believe that at the moment, he really supports Irene. But he would never have thought of it himself. In the end, because of Irene's selfless dedication to the students, he chose to divorce. On the contrary, it was the father who opposed it at the beginning, and also the father and friend, who silently supported Aileen with actions and helped her daughter complete her heart. Isn't this the parent-child relationship we yearn for?
Because it is safe enough, children dare to explore and show their emotions in front of everyone and the closest people. Because it is strong enough to contain children and guide the way. Accompany children to experience, try and make mistakes and succeed in the long river of time. A healthy relationship, a lifelong relationship, an enviable relationship. Most ordinary people are not so lucky to meet smart and independent parents, so let's be parents who make our children feel lucky.
Back to reality, Irene has to face uncooperative students in this class and black students who don't like white teachers. Externally, we have to face the prejudice of school leaders against classes and the interception of educational resources. It's quite difficult. Naturally, due to various reasons, classes were interrupted many times and it was impossible to continue. Fortunately, after a practical joke in class, we opened our mouths to each other. Ailin's speech seems to have touched the students a little bit, which is also the beginning of Ailin's guiding students to think and enlightening them.
A few short sentences tell the reality of life. Are tickets, houses, status and rights that we used to think are really that important? Hey, wake up. No one will remember you when you die. Because there are too many people coming and going in this world, people will only remember those who bring goodwill and love to this world. This dialogue triggered by the conflict laid an emotional foundation for the follow-up teaching activities.
This time, Irene chose to let students participate in the classroom activities.
Please stand on the line if you encounter the problem I said. Aileen started with her favorite life. Everyone happily thought that these questions were too simple, and "I" was just satisfied, so they happily participated in the game. As the game draws to a close, the problem gets deeper and deeper. The game is still normal, which proves that Irene began to enter everyone's hearts, and students began to trust their teachers and began to learn "thinking".
Finally, when Aileen asked everyone to observe a moment of silence for her friend who died in gang violence, fortunately, the students closed their eyes and muttered to themselves. Prove that they have love, affection and gratitude in their hearts. This is the most real emotion that human beings have from the beginning.
Isn't the core idea of Confucius education to teach us that "the benevolent loves others"? Love yourself before you love others.
So, the theme came out. This is my favorite conversation, and it is also a passage that I will believe and practice all my life.
It is precisely because of this passage that I found the motivation to make progress every day and understood the significance of making progress every day. I also began to try my own way of sharing.
Everyone has his own story. The world is so interesting that everyone is busy. Maybe no one wants to hear your story, but you, yourself, should learn to listen to yourself. Share your own stories and learn to cheer for yourself without an audience.
This process is the meaning of existence.
