I just finished watching it. What I didn't want to leave my mind for a long time was the professor's few true feelings in the film: "Actually, I have been pretending to be busy for 20 years, pretending to be writing books, pretending to be in class." When the American professor put This sentence hit me when I was spitting out all these feelings that were hidden in the deepest part of my heart. In this world, there are too many people who only complain, they complain about birth, work, and even society. They sit on the sofa every day and watch nutritious soap operas, but they never sit in the study room on quiet nights and think about their lives. They never think of thanking the world when they ask for it. To give, they don't want to struggle, they just want to enjoy.
The professor has come to his senses. It turns out that he lives in the world he pretends to be, and treats students, colleagues, and everyone coldly. Before getting to know the couple, he never knew how precious the free life he had grown tired of was to some people. Happiness from the heart cannot be faked. No matter where you are and what kind of environment you are in, you must learn to thank the world and everything. Don't try to change others, the most important thing to change is yourself.

  • Prof. Walter Vale: I've been teaching the same course for 20 years, and it doesn't mean anything to me. None of it does. I pretend. I pretend that I'm busy, that I'm working, that I'm writing. I'm not doing anything.
