My thoughts after reading "Like a Hero"
The title of the article is "Like a Hero" which probably means like a hero.
The author is obviously saying that the music teacher in the article is like a hero.
Is he a hero? Many people may disagree.
When it comes to heroes, many people think that those who are brave enough to fight on the battlefield, those who are not afraid of difficulties and fight hard, and even those who sacrifice their lives can be called heroes. In fact, it is not the case. These wise and courageous warriors are certainly heroes, but the extraordinary actions displayed by ordinary people who are active in our lives can also be compared with heroes.
A hero is often like a flag, an example for us to learn from, leading us to be positive and strive to be a hero-like person.
It is said that a music teacher is like a hero, so what makes him like a hero? What qualities does he have that are worthy of our learning and understanding?
The article mentioned that he is usually reticent and not good at words. He is a teacher with a good temper. He "never scolds" students, even when his students are very naughty under his eyes, he does not get angry easily. He is clearly a caring teacher. After reading this, I also thought of Teacher Cai in Weiwei's novel. He recalled that Teacher Cai never beat or scolded us. Only one time in class, Xiao Weiwei was naughty in class and the teacher saw him. The teacher beat him with a pointer and he used a slate. As soon as he greeted him, the pointer lightly hit him on the stone slab, which made him feel that the teacher did not mean to hit him intentionally. Just when I was filled with admiration and admiration for these two caring teachers, I couldn't help but think of the cases disclosed by the news media of corporal punishment of students and even maiming of students. In contrast, I couldn't help but ask myself: Are the music teachers mentioned in the article and Teacher Cai in Weiwei's novel heroes? The answer is obvious, they are the heroes in our teaching team. Isn’t it their quality of loving students like children that leads the growth of our teachers?
The music teacher is reticent and not good at expressing himself. This does not seem to be a characteristic of a teacher, but when he faces music and students in class, he is so impassioned and passionate. He seems to have endless things to say, and every sentence always hits the mark. of. It can be said that he is a music teacher who is willing to teach and good at teaching.
He teaches with passion. When writing on the blackboard, he wrote hard and wrote hard, which left a deep impression on the author; when he was talking about the key points, his hands suddenly clenched into fists in the air, and a strand of white hair was draped in front of his forehead. This image even more impressed the students. Feel the power of music. He is always inspiring when leading students to appreciate music. When teaching the first movement of "Destiny", after the first few strong notes, he justly reminded the students: "This pause is the silence of the wise, the silence of the great..." Whether it is an impassioned explanation, a passionate explanation, The exciting behavior of writing quickly is still a to-the-point guidance. All readers can feel that he is a person with a high level of music appreciation and a good teacher who teaches well. Needless to say, among the current teaching force, there are still many people who are not motivated and whose teaching is mediocre. In contrast, I can’t help but ask, is the music teacher in the article a hero? The answer is obvious, he is the hero among our teachers. Isn’t it his qualities of profound knowledge and skillful teaching that lead the growth of our teachers?
The music teacher in the article is an ordinary and simple person. This image seems to be a bit far away from the hero in the minds of ordinary people. Not really. Silence does not mean lack of silence, and silence does not mean lack of intention. Little people with rough fate can also reflect the qualities of heroes in the struggle against fate. His clothes are simple and unassuming, but he is knowledgeable and has a heart as high as the sky. Perhaps living at the bottom of the class, he had hardships that no one knew about, which made him fearless of hardships and dare to face and fight endlessly in his struggle against fate.
When he and his students were immersed in Beethoven's "Destiny", it was the music that made him feel powerful, and it was the music that made him feel tragic and happy. It is in this interaction between teachers and students that students can feel the heroic greatness of the teacher in a short classroom.
Attachment: The original text of "Like a Hero"
When I was in middle school, the teacher who taught us music appreciation class was in his fifties. He wore an old work clothes all year round, and the color resembled his face. Just as gray. He is taciturn and good-tempered. Even if some classmates are very naughty under his eyes, he never scolds them. I sat in the front row and always looked into his eyes intently during every class. For many afternoons, in boring classes, he used an old-fashioned tape recorder to play many world famous songs for us, guiding us to feel the pulse of classical music. In fact, he was not good at expressing himself. When the music was really wonderful but the words could not be continued, he turned around suddenly and wrote several big adjectives hard on the blackboard with chalk. Because he was so excited, the chalk often broke. The way he wrote furiously among the falling chalk dust is really unforgettable to me. Whenever his dull and old face shows a wise look, I know that music has once again activated him.
One afternoon, when he was explaining the first movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony "Destiny" to us, after the first few strong notes, he said: "Students, please pay attention! Please pay attention!" "(A) His hands suddenly clenched into fists in the air, and a strand of white hair fell on his forehead. At this time, I heard a very brief and clear pause. He said that this pause is the silence of the wise, the silence of the great. Although it is fleeting, it is full of humiliation, endurance and loneliness, as well as anger and resistance. As the saying goes, "Silence is better than sound at this time." Silence sometimes has more explosive power than noise.
“Listen! It’s as if the sinister and unpredictable fate is knocking on the door, and the chaos and fear will strangle our throats. The use of rest is like the darkness before dawn. The master stretched out his hand and grasped the darkness of the night. Ghost, drive it out of the abyss. This struggle intensifies, rising higher and higher..." His clenched fists gradually opened up and turned into upward holding palms, and his tone became soothing, "The sun finally It rose, the songs of triumph rang out, and all the gloom and all the melancholy disappeared without a trace before the torrent of final cheers.”
Listening to Beethoven's music, I feel the enthusiasm, excitement and excitement coming from me. I am eager to know more about the master's life and his works, and to have a deeper understanding of life. It all started from that rest. (B) The afternoon sun reflects the old man's white hair, and he is like a guide looking into the sky.
Many years later, I gradually understood that silence does not mean lack of loneliness, and being speechless does not mean being careless. Little people who have a rough fate may be able to draw spiritual power from Beethoven's music. Today, I am still far from saying that I understand Beethoven's music, but I understand the inner meaning of my ordinary teacher. He captured the tragic beauty and happiness in Beethoven's "Destiny", as if he were a victorious warrior. This is just as Beethoven himself said: "Whoever can understand the meaning of my music can transcend the suffering that ordinary people cannot extricate themselves from."
Even the humblest person, in Beethoven's music, You can also be like a hero!
