Mountain boy picks stars

A filming location for a period fantasy drama.

The sun was blazing overhead.

With temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, the entire earth felt stiflingly hot, as if it were covered by a steamer.

Zhou Sixuan brought her classmates to visit the film crew.

I want students to see the hardships celebrities endure while filming movies and TV shows in 46-degree heat, wearing heavy armor weighing dozens of kilograms.

They were all watching from inside the tent, and they were all sweating profusely from the heat.

The students were all drenched in sweat.

Some people fan themselves with their hands.

At first, the students were very curious and endured the high temperature and stuffiness to watch.

A scene of a horse fighting while suspended by wires was being filmed.

Suddenly, the wires supporting her came loose, and the actress, dressed in a beautiful long gown, fell heavily to the ground.

It hit another actor on horseback, whose face fell to the ground, covered in blood.

The actor who was hit was thrown off his horse and tripped another horse.

Another actor also fell off the horse.

It rolled quite a distance, and you could clearly see blood flowing from its forehead.

The staff inside the tent rushed forward to help the two actors who had fallen.

Zhou Sixuan also led her classmates to help carry the injured actor.

The injured actor was carried back into the tent.

They peeled off the dozens of kilograms of armor and costume piece by piece.

His underwear was soaked with sweat, he was breathing rapidly, suffering from heatstroke and exhaustion, and his skin was covered in prickly heat.

Another actor was even more badly injured from the fall.

"Ouch...ouch..." she cried out in pain.

The actress, dressed in a beautiful long tulle dress, cried and screamed loudly:

"You broke my face and disfigured me, you'll have to compensate me... I'll never be able to act again for the rest of my life, what am I going to do...?"

The accompanying medical staff rushed over to bandage the wound.

Zhou Sixuan carefully observed that some students had already shown signs of extreme unease.

Some of the female students secretly shed tears.

Sunrise at a war filming base

Zhou Sixuan led her classmates to visit the filming location of a war scene.

They had just arrived at the film set when they heard a series of violent explosions ahead.

In the distance, billowing smoke rose in anger.

Many people were shouting, "Oh no! Something's happened at the detonation point! Someone's been killed!"

Then, the ambulance sped off toward the explosion with its siren blaring.

Zhou Sixuan and her classmates also chased after the ambulance, running towards the direction of the explosion.

Filming the explosion site in daylight

Because the explosives detonated prematurely, several actors dressed in military uniforms were injured and lay on the ground.

Blood was flowing freely, and he groaned in pain.

Medical staff are struggling to lift the injured actor into the ambulance.

Seeing the real bloodstains on the ground and the actors' groans.

Many of the students that Zhou Sixuan brought were stunned.

Zhou Sixuan shouted to her classmates, "What are you all standing there for? Quick, save them!"

The students then came to their senses and rushed forward to help the medical staff carry the injured actor.

Many students had bloodstains on their hands and clothes...

Zhou Sixuan: "Yes, you have to put in nine-tenths of hard work to do anything well, and studying is no exception."

Through this visit to the film and television base with her students, Ms. Zhou Sixuan finally had an epiphany: true education is one soul awakening another, one heart inspiring another, one life igniting another, and a wise activity in which the human mind mysteriously participates.

Teacher Zhou Sixuan also realized that the purpose of education is not to impart and instill certain external and specific knowledge and skills, but to awaken the dormant self-awareness and life awareness of students from the depths of their hearts, and to promote the awakening of students' values, sense of life and creativity, so as to realize the free and conscious construction of the meaning of their own lives.

Teacher Zhou Sixuan finally understood that students are like lions sleeping within stones, and teachers should awaken the innate potential and inner strength deep within their hearts, allowing them to awaken from their ignorance. The educational process is not only about liberating students from the outside, but also about awakening their inner spiritual energy and ideals, unleashing their wisdom, developing their potential, and stimulating their creative potential.

Therefore, to guide children in the class to properly admire celebrities, it is essential to help them understand what a true "star" is, explore new teaching reform plans for aesthetic education, and shift from suppressing celebrity worship to guiding it. The ultimate goal of this series of practices is to cultivate future successors who are faithful, ambitious, responsible, tasteful, have sound personalities, and possess a strong soul.

This visit to a film set allowed students to witness firsthand the hardships celebrities endure during filming and experience it firsthand. At the film studio, they witnessed firsthand the struggles of stars filming in 46-degree Celsius heat, wearing heavy armor that caused them to develop heat rash, suffer heatstroke and exhaustion, fall from wires while riding horses and be hospitalized, and even witness fatal explosions. These firsthand experiences gave the students a real understanding of the hardships of being a star, proving that it's not just about outward glamour. This personal experience made them realize that achieving anything requires extraordinary effort and hardship, especially in learning.

Teacher Zhou Sixuan also adapted the textbook content into a play called "The Nightingale" based on the work of colleagues in the Teaching Reform Office, which her class rehearsed and won an award during a school performance. This increased the students' enthusiasm for participation and their sense of teamwork, and greatly stimulated the learning interest of the whole class.

Finally, based on the "Four Pillars of Education for the 21st Century" established by UNESCO—learning to know, learning to do, learning to live, and learning to be—and the "Nine Beauties" aesthetic education requirements strongly advocated by the state for primary and secondary school students—beauty of the soul, beauty of etiquette and music, beauty of language, beauty of behavior, beauty of science, beauty of order, beauty of health, beauty of diligence, and beauty of art—Teacher Zhou, through teaching practice, explored a "star-chasing education reform" plan that best suits students' actual situation, setting corresponding nine stars: Star of Beauty of the Soul, Star of Beauty of Etiquette and Music, Star of Beauty of Language, Star of Beauty of Behavior, Star of Beauty of Science, Star of Beauty of Order, Star of Beauty of Health, Star of Beauty of Diligence, and Star of Beauty of Art.

This program designs a brand-new theme for idol worship, guiding teenagers away from blindly idolizing movie, music, and dance stars and becoming addicted to online games. Each student, based on their personality, interests, and aspirations, will determine their own idol for the semester—their personal goal. Then, they will implement practical steps to achieve this goal, ensuring that every student in the class has an idol, everyone is a star, everyone can succeed, and everyone achieves their goal.

This new "idol-worshiping" activity allows every student in the class to experience the success of "I can do it," improving their overall qualities and promoting their academic progress and all-round development. Furthermore, it helps them establish correct views on life, values, and the world, setting a good example from the very beginning.

Teacher Zhou Sixuan hopes to awaken students' wisdom through this series of practices and inspirations. She poses questions to encourage students to think, and guides them to put these questions into practice, allowing them to gain insights and arrive at their own correct conclusions. Such teachers are true midwives of wisdom and role models for all teachers.
