Title: "Shangdang": The Exploration of Education and the Choice of Life.
The first decade of the last century was one of the most violent periods of China's overseas tide after the reform and opening up. However, in the tide of this era, there is a person who chose to stay in China and become a middle school Chinese teacher, he is the protagonist of the movie "Shangdang", Liu Shan. This film is not only a light comedy, but also a deep reflection on education and life choices at that time.
As a middle school Chinese teacher, Liu Shan is significantly different from the traditional impression of teachers. He has won the love of his students with his romantic and unique teaching style. He followed through equality and freedom, refusing to say hello to students in class, addressing them as "kids," and encouraging students to read outside of class. His approachable attitude allowed him to develop a deep emotional connection with his students, but at the same time, he encountered conflicts between parents and the school.
In the film, the conflict between Liu Shan, parents and the school is mainly focused on the behavior of students. For example, student Chubby was imprisoned in the police station after a conflict with the conductor, and student Zhou Ling fainted on the playground and was taken to the hospital. These incidents put Liu Shan in conflict with her parents and the school. His educational philosophy emphasized integrity and equality, but it conflicted with the school's governing rules and parents' expectations. Eventually, faced with the dissatisfaction of parents and pressure from the school, Liu Shan had to leave the school, unable to fulfill his promise to students.
However, there are also some negative teaching materials in the film, such as the indifference of Zhou Ling's mother and the strictness of Chubby's father. Zhou Ling's mother ignored her daughter's body and feelings after her daughter became pregnant, and only thought about maintaining the family's reputation; The chubby father adopted a severe punishment method, and only knew how to beat and scold the child's mistakes without guiding and educating them. The behaviour of these parents reflects a lack of education and disordered family relationships, which has a negative impact on the development of children.
In addition to the parents, the film also portrays the family background and upbringing of some students. From their point of view, there may be different understandings and feelings. For example, Xiaopang's rebellion against his father and Zhou Ling's longing for his father both reflect the growth experience and psychological changes of children in different family environments. This also reminds us that family education has a huge impact on children's growth, and how parents should guide their children is a question that needs to be seriously considered.
In the choice between education and life, everyone has their own choices and persistence. Liu Shan chose to treat students with equality and freedom, but met with opposition from parents and the school. Parents are also facing various challenges and confusions when educating their children, some choose to punish harshly, and some choose to spoil and indulge. Students, on the other hand, wander between home and school, trying to find their own way to grow.
Although the movie "Last Dang" does not give a clear ending, it is precisely because of this that it is more meaningful to explore and think. Education is not only about students' achievement, but also about shaping their personality and values, which affect their lives. In this process, parents, teachers, and students need to constantly think and adjust to find the most suitable education style and life choices for themselves.
