What does "The Choir Boys" sing about?

The overall feeling of the film to me is somewhat similar to that of Dead Poets Society. It is nothing more than that the teacher is helping children find their goals in life. The difference is that the children in this film still have a lively nature that is unique to children and has not yet been destroyed.
Matthew is an "outdated, little teacher". When he first came to the Auxiliary Institute, he saw the mischief of the children, but he didn't give up a child at the same time. He tries to find the advantages or a kind of existence value of each child, so that self-confidence and self-discipline can slowly grow. What he teaches children is not only music, but also beliefs that support children's life. He once said that he would no longer compose music, but when faced with the vitality of his children, he broke his promise. He organized a choir behind the headmaster's back, discovered the talents of the children one by one, assigned roles, and prevented a child from feeling abandoned. This is how he allowed a group of suppressed but fiercely resisted children to find peace and happiness. Compared with some hypocritical people who only care about the results and don't ask about the means, Matthew is much nobler.
Before college, I never thought about being a teacher, so I often sighed that if there is such a teacher who does not want to pay back in the depths of a person's life, I believe that even the most evil people can bloom from the bottom of their hearts. flowers.
I sincerely hope that all teachers in educational positions, especially those in the front-line of primary and secondary schools, will first have a love, and then have a dedication and patriotism, so that the children who are taught will not be so lost that they only know how to study and don’t know the world. In this way, China's education will not start from the baby.
