[English subtitles are available] [A Love for Dilemma] [Sponsored by Shanghai Cultural Development Foundation] [Culture & Art Salon] [Episode 14] We’ve registered both of the language courses for you. In the future, you should study hard alongside your tutors. I believe it’s no problem for you. We’ve signed the contract as well.
Tao, from now on, you should just focus on your study. Mum, why am I attending a tuition class? The teachers said that you’re weak in comprehension. Reading comprehension is an essential skill. And you’re not the best at Math Olympiad as well. But I’m already attending tuition classes for English and Mathematics.
That was in the past. Now, you only have one year before you enter high school. You need to at least go for two classes for each subject. We’re considered as late now. But the Math Olympiad class is on every Friday. I need to attend my football class.
This Math Olympiad class is different from Mr. Zhong’s class. This is a special training class. It’s only open for students from the Elite Class. Even if you’re not attending the Math Olympiad class, I was planning to cancel your football class for you. The high schools in our area aren’t that great at football.
Besides, with your standards, you won’t make it into a sports school. During this crucial moment, everything is a waste of time if it doesn’t help you out in your study. But Mum, I love football a lot. If I don’t go, our team won’t have enough people.
Are you guys participating in the World Cup or what? So what if there are not enough people for your team? Dad. Leave it to me. She’s too much. I think you don’t need to force him to be successful at football. He loves it.
So, will you let him join everything if he likes everything? You see, football is also known as the number one sports in the world because children can learn and feel the passion and excitement while building friendship as well. There’s no excitement if he can’t get into Han Lin Private High School.
At least you need to let him rest. Zi You’s schedule is full every week. He only has some free time during Friday afternoon. -Even adults get to rest during weekends. -That’s you. I’m not as lucky as you. I have to accompany Zi You to his tuition classes during weekends.
Even God will be tired. During weekdays, I work. I attend classes during weekends. What about you? What else do you know besides giving us some useless opinions? What should I do then? You want me to forget about him? I do want you to care for him. But, are you able to do it?
Everyone can be a kind Samaritan, you know? Every child is attending tuition classes nowadays. Even Mi Tao and Huan Huan are attending tuition classes. But it’s rare for our boy to request something from me. Please show me some respect. I won’t care about him then. You can care about him.
Do you think that you’re already the best? Do you think you can be arrogant now? Let’s not talk about other people, even Mi Tao is way ahead of you. Won’t you feel ashamed of yourself if you let Huan Huan catches up to you? I’m doing this for your own good.
Enough already. Stop being sad. If you like football that much, you can continue with your football class then. Mum, do you mean that? Mum, don’t worry. If you let me play football, I will work harder in my Math Olympiad class. Zi You, I’m doing everything for your own good. You must remember that
Your mother is the only person who wishes for the best for you. Of course. I hope you’ll be happy as well. Because if you’re happy, I’ll be happy. Thank you, Mum. You’re the best. Love live Mum! Mum, I promise you. After I finish playing football, I would return early and study.
I promise I will get first place in Math Olympiad next time. Alright, I’ll believe in you. I didn’t call you guys here because there’s anything important to announce. I just called you guys here to have a chat. Ms. Zhang told me already. Mi Tao is very hardworking.
She shows great understanding of the lessons as well. I’m sure your daughter is your pride. I’ve checked the exam result for Class 1 Grade 5. Mi Tao’s results are unstable indeed. Headmaster, Mi Tao hasn’t learned anything about situational training and expansive reading at all. It’s simulated training and extended reading. Yes.
We’ve registered a tuition class for her. Tao is doing her best as well. Headmaster, don’t worry. She’ll catch up soon. I guess you two are misunderstanding my intention. I called you guys here just to reassure you guys. One bad exam doesn’t mean anything. We don’t judge a student
Solely based on their exam results. We’ll take into account their learning ability and habits as well. Mi Tao has shown great learning abilities and habits. You guys must believe in us. We will make sure every child is taken care of. The tuition classes outside can’t broaden their horizon and improve their ability.
We must believe in Mi Tao’s capability. We must respect her tempo. Ms. Zhang had introduced some playgrounds and libraries suitable for her. At most, she’ll take half a semester. I’m sure we can see her improvement by the end of this semester. Thank you, Headmaster He.
We need to thank the teachers here as well. Although her father and I aren’t well-educated, we have great expectations for Mi Tao. I expect great things from her as well. At the same time, please place your trust in us. Of course. Thank you, Headmaster. Sorry for worrying you.
-This is all part of our job. -Thank you. Thank you. Come, have some water. Class dismissed. Alright, since we’re old friends, I will refund every cent to you. If other people were to do this, I will take a cut from them. Thank you. But, can I ask you a question?
Why are you cancelling it when it is so hard to get a slot? I just feel sorry for my child. He only spends every day learning without having any fun. I’m not a heartless mother. Understood. Actually, I shouldn’t say anything at a time like this. But,
I hope you can make your decision after you meet a certain person. [Han Lin Private High School] Manager Cui, I’ve arrived at the place. But the guard won’t let me in. [Please wait a moment. Let me make a call.] Alright. All parents show the same expression when they first enter our school.
I only passed by this school in the past. It’s my first time entering this school. Mr. Wang, your school holds the same status as a celestial being within the eyes of the parents. It’s my honour to meet you. Cui is my junior in the teachers’ academy.
Although we took different paths in life, we’re still friends. No matter if your son enters this school by this year or next, he still needs to take the entrance exam anyway. A top school like us is always the best path to success. I understand. I’m telling you this since we’re not strangers.
Can you tell me in detail? If you want your son to enter this school, he’ll have to pass another test. -Do you know what it is? -Math Olympiad. You do know your stuff. If you put it in that way, I suppose I have no choice then.
My son can only continue to endure then. I assume your son is from Feng Fan Primary School? How are his results? Top three in class, top ten within their grade. He’s the vice monitor as well. He’s in the Elite Class at Ze Shu. Not bad. Seems like he’s a fine kid.
He’s a good seedling. That’s decided then. I will wait for your son at Han Lin Private High School. Thank you for your blessing. We will do our best. Alright. Thank you. Why? You made a promise! Why did you go back on your promise? I’m not going back on my promise on purpose.
But the situation had changed. Just endure for another year. You can play football whenever you like once you get into Han Lin Private School. I still need to take one exam before I take their entrance exam, right? You see, you actually understand what I’m trying to say. You went back on your promise!
You promised me already! Don’t touch me! Listen to me. Time is precious. Two Math Olympiad classes aren’t enough, you know? You don’t have time for anything else. I’ve promised my teammates already! We have a competition tomorrow! Just forget about football, okay? Do your best and learn Math Olympiad.
Do you think you’re the best student? Do you think you can score a perfect score every time? Why are you contented with your results? Do you know why your results will never be stable? It’s because you have a problematic attitude! Don’t you know the situation you’re in? Your snails, ants,
And all those rubbish, you better get rid of them soon. All of them are just a waste of your time! My baby son, just ignore your mother, okay? Stop crying. I’ll deal with this. I’ll bring you to the competition in secret, okay? Little guy, stop crying, okay? Men aren’t supposed to cry.
Don’t be afraid. Dad is around. Don’t cry. You should at least keep the promise you made! You can’t just go back on your promise! Do you think I’m harming him? I’m doing everything for his sake. Everyone is working their butt off. If he doesn’t do the same,
-will he be able to lead a good life? -What’s the definition of a good life? A good life is when you have enough financial support to do whatever you want. I believe our family is able to realize that condition for him. Why are you forcing him? Do you think he’s happy?
I can’t get through you. Just ignore this matter. Since your child is excellent, as his parent, you shouldn’t let down your guard. You should help him spend his time wisely. The higher the standards, the harder the competition will be.
We need to lead our child to the path of glory in the fastest way. Only the best of the best will be able to enter our school. This car is coming at a high speed. But this car is driving slowly from Point B.
It may be a delivery truck that’s sending your parcels to you. Their intersection point is Point C. When they meet at Point C… For today’s break, we’ll analyze some classical music. “Blossoms on a Moonlit River in Spring”. Everyone, close your eyes. Let’s enjoy the music together. In spring, under the lonely night,
The moon rises slowly. The silver moonlight, reflecting on the water surface… Excuse me, Ms. Zhang. I told you about my arrival this morning. I need to bring Chang Hao Ran to his tuition class. Hao Ran. Goodbye, Ms. Zhang. As you ride a long a small boat, floating on the surface…
Sorry about this, Ms. Zhang. Lin Lin, come here. The shore is full of trees, swaying gently with the wind. Zi You, hurry up. Ms. Zhang, what time is it? It’s 3:40pm. What’s wrong? Can I leave earlier today? Mr. Zhong said he’s going to give me a test. Sure. Is anyone picking you up?
I can go by myself. Be careful. Slow down. Slow down, my baby. The four-sided shapes are squares. The area of the triangle is cm². Please calculate the area of the shadow. Come, let us analyze the answer. Must their lives be so tiring? She’s unable to pull herself together lately. Here’s a Popsicle.
It’s strawberry-flavoured. -Come, wipe your hand. -Lick it properly. Later, I’ll bring you to the mall to buy a toy Elsa. That’s meaningless. Why don’t we go to the fairy tale themed restaurant for dinner tonight? That’s a great idea. He’s fine. He’s different from others. Look. He’s different indeed. -Have some water. -Thank you.
My little prince, please stop bumping into other children. -Look at him. -It’s fine. He’s a big child now. He knows what to do. My goodness. He fell again. He’s just like a monkey. The water from his clothes is always black whenever I wash them. It’s the same for our child as well.
She doesn’t behave like a girl at all. She’ll go crazy when she gets to play. They should play while they still can. If they reach Huan Huan’s age, they’ll suffer when they study. -Yeah. -They don’t deserve this. Yeah, I told her parents as well. Their priority right now is to have fun.
Education can come later. Yeah, I don’t know why they’re in a rush. I’m Superman! -Here comes Superman. -Superman. I’m Superman. Sister, let’s go. He wants to play with his sister. -Let’s go. -Go and play. Just go. Look at him. He wants to fly. You want to fly when you’re that heavy?
Just go ahead and play. Your time to play will soon be over. Just forget about the past. Don’t tell me she can only play slides after she enters university? These crazy fun times may be her most precious memories in life. -Goodbye. -You’re leaving? Remember to do revision. -Remember to do your revision. -Okay.
Zi You, hurry up. [Did you see our tiny recording pen?] [If he doesn’t do a good job in teaching you] [and harms you instead,] [it’ll be terrible for us.] Mr. Zhong, please don’t misunderstand us. -I can explain this to you. -Explain yourself then. I’m listening.
But I need to remind you that your son is over there. Tell me the truth. Don’t tell me it’s a normal pen drive? I… I was just afraid that my son was not paying attention to his class. That’s why I wanted to record the lesson for him to learn better.
But ever since Zi You entered the Elite Class, his grades have been improving. That’s why I didn’t use it. And I forgot about it. I forgot about it entirely. Mr. Zhong, you need to believe me. We’re very satisfied with your lessons. We’re grateful to you as well.
The lessons in Elite Class are confidential. You’re not allowed to record any part of it. You knew that, right? I really didn’t know about that. This… I’m sorry, Mr. Zhong. It won’t happen again. Zi You’s mother, since you’ve sent him to our class, you need to follow our rules.
If you want your child to score, you need to let them suffer. I told you before, right? I’m willing to let him suffer. Yan Zi You still has some way to go before he reaches my target. As his parents, you should prepare yourselves. Mr. Zhong, please teach him well then.
Although we did argue before, since your child is here, that means he’s my student. I will treat them equally and I’ll teach them. But I will be stricter with them. I hope you can be prepared. Thank you, Mr. Zhong. You don’t need to hesitate. Just do whatever you need to do.
I know you’re being strict for his own good. -We know that. -Go now. Let’s go home. Let’s go. During break period nowadays, most students will leave the class. The parents came here in a rush in order to send their children to tuition classes. Now, the school is the last place they stay in.
Headmaster He, what should we do? Ze Shu is teaching the syllabus earlier than us. And Han Lin Private High School is strict on their intake. Their methods are damaging to the public schools. They’re taking advantage of the fact that they’ve harvested the best group of students. But, what about those
Who haven’t realized their own potential? Yeah, by doing so, they’re causing the parents anxiety. All of them are trying their hardest to make their children the best. True education sees all students as equal. Including children who may seem mediocre. But, no parents will accept that their children are mediocre.
Like the Xia Huan Huan in our class. Her parents have always been very reasonable at first. But now, even they are becoming more anxious. Yeah. Our school must fight with the private organizations for the right to influence the parents. But, we must be confident in ourselves as well.
Our school has existed for quite some time. And our parents’ school will be opened soon. -Parents’ school? -Yes. We will provide training and communicate with the parents on a set basis. Mainly, we’ll be doing some interactions with them in order to relieve their pressure. It serves the mission of the school as well.
The other schools have tried out this policy. The effect is admirable. That’s great. Ms. Zhang, the public school is the last stand for quality education. We mustn’t admit defeat. No, we mustn’t. That’s the right attitude. Do you think this is correct? Have you checked it?
I’m asking you a question. Have you checked it? How many times do I need to repeat this? How many times? I told you to check it! You don’t understand what I’m saying? Why are you here? Are you stupid? Huan Huan, study hard, okay? -I’ll pick you up after class. -Okay, Mum.
-Go now. -Very good. Stand outside the hall. Zi You? Zi You, why are you outside? What’s wrong? Tell me what’s wrong. Mr. Zhong told me to stand outside. Come. Let’s go. Mr. Zhong, excuse me. I was just passing by. Why is he outside when the class is ongoing?
He was disobedient just now. I was just scaring him. It’s nothing. Yan Zi You, sit down. It’s fine now. Go now. I won’t interrupt then. Alright. Let’s continue. I’ll repeat the order again. A, B, C, D… -Hello, you are? -I’m the grandma of Yan Zi You. Please go in.
How many times has it been? Tell me! I told you to memorize it, but you’re disobeying me, huh? How stupid are you? What’s inside your head? A block of wood? Even a block of wood is smarter than you! Listen, do I need to waste my time on you every day?
I’ve wasted five minutes on you today. There are nine people in our class. We’ve wasted a total of 45 minutes because of you! Listen, if you do this again, you should pack up and tell your mother not to come! I don’t have that much time for you to waste!
If you’re stupid, just admit it! Why are you acting like this? Explain yourself. How could you talk to a child like that when you’re a teacher? I don’t quarrel with elderly people. If you have anything to say, ask his mother to speak with me. Stay here! What kind of attitude is that?
We spent so much money in order to send them here! We didn’t send them here for you to insult them! I heard everything clearly just now. He said a block of wood is smarter than my grandson! He said he was stupid! He even asked him to scram!
It’s the first time my grandson has been insulted like that! -He’s too much! -Yeah! How could a teacher like this exist? Madam, excuse me. What’s going on? Madam, what’s going on? What do you mean by that? Ask him yourself. It’s lucky that I was here on time today.
If not, he would’ve bullied my grandson! My grandson has attended many lessons in this tuition centre. Maybe he’s bullying my grandson behind my back. -You’re exaggerating the fact. -How am I exaggerating the fact? It’s like this. Let’s just calm down and have a chat, okay? Stay here! Look at him! This is…
What kind of attitude is that? Is this how you communicate with people? Please settle down! We’ve spent so much money on this tuition centre. Do you think we send them here for them to be insulted? Yeah! Exactly! They’re here to study, not to be insulted! Please be quiet. Madam, how about this?
Let’s calm down for now. I’m sure there’s a misunderstanding. Let’s go to my office and have some tea. Do you think I care for your cup of tea? You better settle this immediately! -If not, you will suffer. -Alright. -Yeah. -Yeah. But we need to talk over this in order to settle it.
Do you think this is a suitable place? Let’s go then. -Let’s have a chat. -Please leave. Li Li, I’m not here to cause a ruckus. I heard this myself. It’s true. He was too much just now. Sorry for the wait.
Just now, I went to find Mr. Zhong in order to understand the situation. It was just a minor matter. Mr. Zhong had explained the answer several times already, yet Zi You still gave him the wrong answer. He didn’t check the answer even when he got it wrong. Madam,
All of us know about Zi You’s standard. If he’s making mistakes on such a simple question, it isn’t a question of his ability. It’s a question of his attitude and his habits. If Zi You wasn’t a top student, there’s no need for Mr. Zhong to be furious at him.
Can he insult him just because he was furious? He was too much, you know? What happens after that? Will he beat my grandson? You see, I understand Mr. Zhong very well. His head is filled with mathematical equations. I admit that he has a lower EQ than other teachers.
And he’s stricter to them compared with other teachers. But of course, he’s in the Elite Class. I hope you’ll understand that their teachers will be stricter. Their class will be much harder than other classes. And the class is harder for students to enter as well. I assume you know that.
Let me put it this way. If you want your child to relax and be happy, there’s no need to send your child here. Of course we can have fun with them. We can just play with them all day. But, will parents agree with that? That’s how Mr. Zhong behaves.
Later, I’ll reprimand him as well. But I think that the tuition fees here aren’t cheap. Our centre is very competitive as well. You guys are spending your money and sending your children here because you want them to get better grades, am I right? If you want them to be happy,
There’s no need for you guys to send them here. With the same amount of money, you can bring them to play in theme parks or treat them to a feast. They’ll be happy for sure. Am I right? I don’t think so. Why are you shielding your centre’s shortcoming in this situation?
How am I shielding our shortcomings? I’m not a nosey person. I’m a parent as well. Let’s not talk about our expectations for our children first. Let’s not talk about how expensive it is to study in the Elite Class. You guys are teachers, right? You guys are educators.
You can’t just speak with children in a tone like that. I’m not trying to exaggerate this, but he’s attacking my nephew personally. Madam, listen to our conversation here. Who do you think is shielding their shortcoming? Is there a need for you to make this a big issue?
You think I’m making this a big issue? Fine. Do you dare to ask Mr. Zhong to repeat what he said just now in front of all of the parents? Do you dare to do so? You see? I know that teachers will lose their cool when they teach sometimes.
I know they will lose control of their emotions and say something mean. It’s not that we don’t understand how they feel. But, I want to ask you something. As the person in charge of Ze Shu, is this attitude that you’re showing right now the real nature of Ze Shu Tuition Centre?
Excuse me, I haven’t asked you for your name yet. So, who are you to Zi You? She’s my aunt. So, you must be Xia Huan Huan’s mother. -My identity isn’t important. -It is very important. -Please continue. -You guys must be fair to all students. -Yes. -Their parents shouldn’t matter. She’s right. His mother
Is a grumpy one. I’ve called her already. She’s on her way here. I won’t be able to handle her if she loses her cool here. Anyway, I think Mr. Zhong should apologize to Yan Zi You -for what he did today. -Yes. This concerns the child’s pride and the nature of the education.
Don’t be afraid. Your mother didn’t know that you were suffering like this. If she knows, she will stand up for you. And, no matter if you’re a teacher at a public or private institution, since you’re working in the education field, you should at least show some respect to the occupation.
We need to understand each other. The parents may be anxious because of their children, but if you take advantage of this mentality, -that’s your fault. -Yeah. Am I right? What’s the nature of education? Nurturing the future generations. Do you really need a parent to tell you that fact? Isn’t it…
Zi You’s mother, you came at a great timing. Please calm down. I’ll tell Mr. Zhong off later. I’ll ask him to apologize to Zi You. There’s no need for that. I’ve heard about the situation from my mother through the phone. I know the teachers are being strict for the sake of the children.
It’s okay for them to scold my child. I’m sorry for troubling you guys. Not at all. If every parent were as reasonable as you, our jobs will be much easier. Tian Yu Lan, Mr. Zhong insulted him… I know. I know you’re doing this out of good intention.
Excuse me, we have things to attend to. We’ll leave now. -Alright. -Mum, let’s go. Zi You. Actually, Nan Li spoke up for Zi You. That teacher insulted our Zi You. -He was so mean. -I forgot my bag. Everyone knows about Mr. Zhong’s temper.
Ze Shu is able to bully us as they’re the best around here. It’s not the first time the parents have been unhappy with them. But no one dared to make a sound. Did you see anyone complaining about them? It’s because they’re afraid that they might bully their child.
Nan Li is just using this incident as an excuse. She’s using my son as an excuse to vent out her dissatisfaction. Why didn’t she complain about her daughter’s tutor? Tian Yu Lan, are you out of your mind? Li Li. You graduated with a degree, you know?
You should at least be able to differentiate what’s right or wrong. How could someone like you exist? It doesn’t pay to be kind. Li Li, don’t… Go out. Mr. Zhong, why can’t you control your temper? Did you see Cui’s face? -What’s wrong with you? -What?
They want their child to have a high score, but they don’t let me scold them. They want me to dote on them instead? Did you only realize that by now? You can’t hit nor scold children nowadays. They’re spoiled by their parents. Their hearts are made out of glass. Lower your volume. Teachers,
I beg you guys. Please take pity on salespeople like us. All of them thought their children are geniuses. How many geniuses have you seen in your lifetime? But, in reality, most children are mediocre and they’ll stay mediocre until the end of their lives. Why can’t their parents accept this fact?
Enough already, stop adding oil to the flame. Every parent behaves like that. If they don’t have high expectations for their children, how could our tuition centre make a living? Don’t tell me we need to depend on the geniuses? They don’t need us if they’re geniuses, am I right?
Look at you. Fine, I’ll stop now. You two should calm down. Hey. What has this got to do with Xia Huan Huan’s mother? Are they relatives? I think they’re relatives by name. She’s just a busybody.
