老师的眼泪

上高中时，我们班只是个普通班，比起由尖子生组成的六个实验班来说，考上大学的机会不多，因此除了几个学习好的同学很努力外，大多数人都等着混个文凭，然后找个工作。

  我们的班主任兼任英文老师是个刚从师范学院毕业的学生，他非常敬业，每日催着我们学习学习再学习，作业作业再作业。但是说归说，由于抱着破罐破摔的想法，我们的成绩依然上不去，在全校各科考试中屡屡落败。

  直到高二的一次英文联考，我们班的成绩破天荒地超过了几个实验班的学生，这仍我们接连高兴了好几天。

  发卷子的时候到了，老师平静地把卷子发给我们。我们欣喜地看着自己几乎没有得过的高分，老师说：“请同学们自己计算一下分数。”数着数着，我的分竟比实际分数高出20 分，同学们也纷纷喊起来，“老师给我们怎么多算了20 分。”课堂上乱了起来。

  老师摆了摆手，班上平静下来。他沉重地说：“是的，我给每位同学都多加了20 分，这是我为自己的脸面也是为你们的脸面多加的20 分。老师拼命地教你们，就是希望你们为老师争口气，让老师不要在别的老师面前始终低着头， 也希望你们不要再别班的同学面前总是低着头。”

  老师接着说：“我来自山村，我的父母都去世得早，上中学时我连红薯土豆都吃不起，大学放暑假，我每天到建筑工地拉砖，曾因饥饿而晕倒。但我就是凭着一股要强的精神上完师院，生活教会我在任何时候都不能服输。而你们只不过被分在普通班就丧失了信心，我很替你们难过。”

  这时候教室安静极了，同学们都低下了头。老师继续说：“我希望我的学生们也做到要强的人，任何时候都不服输，现在还只是高二，离高考还有一年多的时间，努力还来得及，愿你们不靠老师弄虚弄假就挣回足够的分数，让老师能把头抬起来，继续要强下去。”

  “同学们，拜托了！”说完，老师低下头，竟给我们深深地鞠了一躬。当他抬起头时，我们看到他的眼睛流出了泪水。

  “老师。”全班的女生们都哭了起来，男生的眼里也含满了泪水。

  那一节课，我们什么也没有学，但一年后的高考，我们以普通班的身份夺得了全校高考第一名。据校长说，这在学校的历史上是从来没有过的。

  我们每一个学生都记住了老师的眼泪。

后记：上帝把你分到了一个“人生普通班”，没有显赫门庭，没有万贯家财，没有骄 人容颜，没有过人天赋，那么你能不能考过“重点班”呢？

Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi(千与千寻) review

spirited away. ah, what a nice anime.it was the epitome of anime =D
thumbs up*

and Chihiro (also called Sen, the name given by Yubaba) is cute too! (well, that's besides the point)

I was repulsed when I was first introduced to it by my cousin.

I think it was the idea that Chihiro's parents's turned into pigs that repulsed me ;P

anyway, gave it a try, and it was indeed....... good.

following the story, we gain an insight of Sen's timid self, and her transformation into someone brave, helpful honest and has a big heart for love.

we are also introduced to the character Haku-san which is actually a white dragon (cool)

he has a particular fondness for Sen, which the latter reciprocates and calls him by the name of Haku-chan, and he was the one that saved Sen when she first clambered into the world of Immortals(=0= the knight in shinning armour!! LOL). He claimed that he'd met Sen before, as he had called out her name without the former telling him, and this feeling's also shared by Sen. (the secret is later revealed at the end of the anime, if you wanna know, you have to watch)

ok, well then , every movie and anime has to got an antagonist, and in here, it goes by the name of Yubaba...

well, this Yubaba is actually an ugly old woman who looks like a toad with oversized head and lots of wrinkles, who cares only for money and profits. she controls Haku and treats him as his slave as she is in possession of his real name. In fact, everyone who wants to find a job needs to sign a contract with her, and in exchange she hid their real names  and gave them a new one. This gave her the power over them, Sen included.

haha, sorry about my babbling.

actually the story's very simple. to sum it up,

Chihiro's parents have been turned into pigs(yeah, PIGS!) as a punishment for eating the food prepared for  the gods and goddess, In order to save them, Chihiro, with a little help from Haku, signs a contract with Yubaba and begins her work in the realms of Gods(which is actually a bathhouse where gods come to relax).

and thus her adventure begins,where she befriends a lot of people, gods and mystical beings alike, which of course, has a happy ending.

such a pity the fate of Haku remains a mystery, though he has regained his real name(thanks to Sen), the movie ends without him in the happy picture, and that gives us an inkling as to what becomes of him.

my rating : 8/10

one phrase: worth watching!! ^^


the reason it's a must watch:
1. amazing story line
2. nice music
3. it still retain the innocence which is rare among animes nowadays
