This class aims to allow students to truly feel the warmth of family affection. Through being moved, they will understand the deeper meaning of kinship, spontaneously correct bad behaviors, cultivate good character, and lay a solid foundation for personal growth.
At the beginning of the class, the teacher asked students if they had ever been moved by something or a scene in their daily lives. Students responded with various examples: some mentioned touching scenes from TV dramas, others recalled their mothers sending umbrellas during heavy rains, and one shared a touching memory of their grandmother giving them her savings and urging them to study hard before passing away.
The teacher noted that life is full of moving moments that can be perceived if one pays attention. The class then watched a public service advertisement titled 'Washing Feet'. In the ad, a woman, after settling her child in the room, brings a basin of hot water to wash her mother's feet. Seeing this, the child is touched and brings a basin of water to the mother, stumbling slightly, and says, 'Mom, wash feet.'
Students shared that they had seen this ad on TV many times, and some mentioned that schools in certain areas even assigned washing their mothers' feet as winter homework. The teacher guided them to reflect on the atmosphere of family affection they felt while watching, regardless of prior exposure. One student stated that love requires practical action; even washing a mother's feet is a concrete expression of love, whereas Verbal declarations without action are meaningless. Another student expressed being deeply moved, feeling that since family members sacrifice so much, they should be given something in return.
The teacher further pointed out that beyond care and reciprocity, the issue of the 'generational gap' needs attention. Many students feel a barrier with their elders, believing that adults always view them as ignorant children, leading to a lack of meaningful conversation. Others complained that parents only focus on grades and academic pressure, failing to understand their inner thoughts, which makes deep communication difficult.
