"The Road Home"

‘The Road Home’ is a movie about a girl who has fallen in love to a teacher who taught in a little hut in her village. The girl, who was played by Zhang Zi Yi, is a young and innocent girl who falls head over heels to the teacher who taught in her village. As the story took place in the ancient time, it shows how difficult it is for the both of them to be together. The movie also shows how the society back at the ancient time respect and look highly upon the profession of a teacher. The society respects the teachers very much and sees teachers as something that is very precious. The movie was in mandarin and was quite slow moving as it emphasizes on the love story of the teacher. In the end of the story, the body of the teacher was bought back to the village. Although the teacher has already passed away, yet he is still very much respected by the villagers and all his former students. As the saying goes, “Once a teacher, always a teacher”. Although he is already dead, he is still “the teacher” that the villagers have always respected. This movie inspires me to be a good, great and dedicated teacher like the teacher shown in the movie. The teacher in the movie tells me that we must be dedicated in our profession and always put our profession as our first priority. What inspire me the most is that a teacher is always respected and appreciated by the societies. This movie made me believes that the saying “Once a teacher, always a teacher” do really exist.
