In "Spring of the Cow Herding Class", the "Bottom of the Pond", a school for problem students, gathered two unified elements, teacher & student, and also gathered two seemingly opposite elements: teacher and "problem" student".
We can guess the ending almost at the beginning, but this slightly old-fashioned salvation plot does not reduce its touching charm.
"The bottom of the pond" in winter
The shabby gate, the cold environment, and the short and bald superintendent Matthew was assigned here on such a winter Saturday. As soon as
entered the school, he saw the students' prank skills. The gentle and kind-hearted Uncle Ma Sang who was responsible for welcoming Matthew was hurt by the students' pranks, and the blood was bleeding. Principal
Hassan did not call a doctor for the first time, but was anxious to convene a meeting, and gave 15 seconds for the students to report the "criminal."
no one stood up.
Will anyone surrender obediently? Of course
is impossible.
So the principal gave the student roster to Matthew, the new superintendent, and asked Matthew to choose anyone to imprison him in turn, until someone pleaded guilty.
As for the hapless student who was pronounced the name did not do this?
Oh, that doesn't matter, no one cares.
Do you think this is bad enough?
Matthew's former superintendent showed Matthew a dazzling knife wound on his arm before he left the school. A student Mu Dong stabbed him with a knife.
In addition, the resigning superintendent knew exactly who had injured Uncle Ma Sang, but he was about to leave. It was too troublesome to tell him that he might miss the bus.
Matthew asked: Is Mu Dong still here? The superintendent who left
was silent for a while, and then reminded Matthew that apart from Legok, who had injured Uncle Marsang, he was taciturn, and Pierre, a single-parent child who was expelled from public school for several thefts and truancy, must pay more attention.
So how was Mu Dong who hadn't been seen before Matthew was punished?
Then Matthew knew that he was dead and jumped down from the stairs.
said that at that time, Matthew took Legok, the culprit who injured Uncle Marsang, to the principal to admit his mistake, just as the principal brought another problem student into the principal's office.
Legok struggled desperately and refused to enter the principal's office.
Matthew said, "Why are you afraid of being beaten?" He didn't believe that the principal would beat people.
Then came the sound of crackling boards hitting people in the principal's room.
Matthew asked Le Geke to take care of Uncle Masang to make atonement.
The irritable principal, naughty students, noisy classrooms, confrontations, conflicts, confinement, bloodshed... This is probably the deepest impression left by Matthew in the winter at the bottom of the pond, despite the injured Uncle Ma Sang. Besides, "They are all good kids."
"The bottom of the pond" music
fighting, loud noises, ringing bells, roars, among the various sounds in this school, there is no music.
Of course, this was before Matthew came.
The leather bag in Matthew's hand that was snatched by the students in the classroom was not opened in the classroom, but it was locked in the cabinet of the room cherished by him.
However, it was discovered the next day that the lock of the cabinet had been broken. In a corner of the
school, three thorns named by the former superintendent squatted together, pondering the staff in their hands.
The "music" locked up by Matthew has seen the light again.
Let's form a choir and see what music can bring to the children, so Matthew started his "music experiment".
bass, tenor, soprano, in Matthew, children are distinguished by different timbres. Pepino is too young to know anything, so sit next to the teacher and be a conductor assistant. Guo Bang, who is really incomplete in five tones, the teacher asks you to be a music stand, and Pierre, who sounds like a natural sound, is responsible for solo singing. A child has his own role. This is how the training of the
choir began. The beautiful music of
replaced the quarrels, and the atmosphere of the school was unprecedentedly harmonious.
Until another problem boy Mengdan was sent over. Meng Dan, who seems to be fifteen or sixteen years old, is irritable, irritable, smoking and drinking. He sings "Huang" in the class and then becomes the only chorus.One baritone.
Problem students will not immediately change their evils and return to the right just because they have learned music.
Mengdan escaped from the school because of confinement and was suspected of stealing the principal's money. These children could not be educated at all, and the principal would not allow the choir to retrain in a rage.
Matthew turned the choir training into underground training.
Pierre splashed ink on Matthew because he saw Matthew close to his beautiful mother, and was disqualified as a soloist.
Your talent should be shown, but you must be punished for doing something wrong.
It’s just that when the ladies of the Charity Foundation came to the school to watch the choir's performance, the children in white shirts showed their other side earnestly. Pierre who was punished and stood alone was eventually forgiven by Matthew , With his natural voice, conquered everyone on the scene.
There is light in your eyes, so you can see light naturally.
On the first day Matthew came to class, he asked everyone to write down who they want to be in the future.
Two firefighters, three cowboys, one tiger tamer... How many children does
have really incurable? Just look at their dreams.
Matthew is probably the teacher that every child wants to have.
He is kind and patient. He respects every child and strives to see the advantages of every child, even Mengdan, who seems really hopeless.
He is what a real teacher should have.
However, not all children will be cured.
Pierre eventually became a master of music. Meng Dan, who was accused of stealing, burned the student dormitory after he came out of the police station.
Pepino, who was waiting for his dead parents to take him home every Saturday, finally left the school with Matthew who was expelled.
When Matthew left, no one sent him, except for the paper airplanes floating out of the window full of children's blessings, and the little hands waving goodbye.
But this may be the charm of education.
A person influences a group of people, bringing them kindness, warmth and different meanings.
