The spring of the cow herding class

In 1948, when Clermont, an unemployed music teacher, got a job as a correctional officer at a correctional boarding school, he entered a children's hell. He was shocked by the experience of the former prisoner who fled in a hurry, and witnessed the harsh punishments of the school with his own eyes. The cruelty of the principal, the ruthlessness of other disciplines, and the lawlessness and helplessness of the children gave him the urge to change the discipline of the school to treat the children like the police treat prisoners. He wrote songs specially written for the children on the sheet music. He used pure music to call back the long-cold hearts of the disciplined, freed the ropes that bound the children's body and mind, and healed their wounded hearts. Sacred and pure music not only purifies the children's hearts, but also has a significant impact on their future life paths. Kindness, kindness, and tolerance are the culmination of making all the audience's eyes fill with tears of joy.
