It's important that you know

Kathryn Watson finally left Wesleyan College, which she once yearned for so much.

The first time I knew Wesleyan College was because of Soong Meiling. I read a lot of her biographies, and I couldn’t miss her experience of studying here. As for how she studied at the Women’s College, I think from her very proficient and fluent and difficult English speeches As you can see, the foundation is quite deep. This is not as simple as the words appear on the surface.

At the beginning of the film, Kathryn graduated from UC Berkeley with a master's degree and came to teach at her dream Wesleyan College, and I think she was quite happy. The greatest happiness of a person is to go to a place where you want to go and do a job you like. And then from sunshine to cold, which is a contradiction in itself and seems to foreshadow the whole tone of the film.

She's here to make a difference. That's what her movies say and what she's been doing at Wesleyan. The first class was not amazing, but made her feel thrilled. However, the explosive power that has been accumulated for a long time is huge, and she came prepared. The so-called change requires firm strength. This strength stems from her inner drive to make changes, so when the time conditions are met, everything becomes calm.

Just as we were surprised to see Paul suddenly appear on the cold Christmas night, we thought Catherine would move, but in the end we saw the figure of Paul who left sadly. Catherine chose her own career. Love is not a wedding ring, but a shared value - Catherine doesn't understand why she can safely put the ring on her ring finger after not seeing each other for three months. Yes, in this clip, she is subversive. The so-called trust between lovers is far less important than understanding and respect for Catherine.

This is the original intention of the film to express, not to follow the trend, not to follow the rules, everyone has the right to pursue their own life, even if they subvert Van Gogh, even if they doubt Da Vinci, the sunflower looks like in everyone's heart, follow Van Gogh The heart is the same, because it represents the view of the inner self; everyone can be Van Gogh; what about the Mona Lisa? She represents life, perhaps with a dedicated smile or a dedicated sadness. One study/career, one life/love, Catherine gave two typical thoughts, and made the corresponding changes in that group of people.

This can be a reason to leave, because of change rather than revolution. Conditional continuation is worse than temporarily stranded.

I often wonder, as teachers, what exactly can we give students, knowledge from textbooks, or common sense without thinking? No matter what, in order to conquer, the prerequisite is that you must have quantity and face your every choice bravely. You know what you know and what you can let others know. Independent, it is best to be a role model, neither humble nor arrogant.
