Parents speak highly of us
The dedication that Teacher Cai and Teacher Liu have shown to the children has given me a true understanding of what it means to work tirelessly and forget to eat or rest. On the day of the performance, Teacher Cai came to support the children despite being unwell, so busy that they didn't even have time to eat. Teacher Liu, meanwhile, stayed up all night without sleep, yet remained full of energy the next day. Their professionalism and dedication are qualities that both the children and I should learn from.
Qianhan used to be an extremely reluctant child when it came to taking photos or expressing herself. After nearly three years of guidance from Teacher Liu, she has transformed from a child with no expression on her face to someone willing to step onto the stage and compete. Although she has not yet achieved dazzling results, this is already tremendous progress for her. Through this recent performance, in particular, she has learned what it means to persevere. Whenever she feels like giving up, I remind her to look at the dedication of Teacher Cai and Teacher Liu, and to learn from their professionalism and commitment.
The growth that has come from just one performance is beyond words. I am truly grateful to have met them.
Dear Professor and Teacher Liu, thank you very much! Professor Cai taught the children despite being ill during the rehearsal for this performance, which touched us deeply. With your selfless dedication, the children, who were disobedient and had no opera performance skills at all, not only learned performance skills, but also deeply experienced the charm of art and the power of expression. Thank you for your patience in inspiring their stage sense, helping them overcome challenges and gradually build confidence. What touched us even more was that you gave the children a rare performance opportunity, allowing them to put what they learned in class into practice and show what they learned on stage. This valuable experience not only made the children gain applause and recognition, but also ignited their passion for performance. Let the children grow in practice, accumulate experience, and gain confidence. This experience will become their precious memory and inspire their infinite yearning for the future. We also hope to continue to receive your guidance and support in the days to come.
I sincerely thank you for your tremendous efforts and unwavering support for the children throughout the "Four Great Masterpieces Performance." I am especially grateful for, and deeply admire, the affirmation and careful guidance you have given to Wan Li.
From planning to execution, from screenwriting to directing, and from inviting hosts to writing speeches, you have created a stage for the children's holistic development through your extraordinary wisdom and selfless dedication. Your keen insight and ability to teach according to each child's unique strengths not only helped the children shine in their performances but also greatly benefited their growth in drama learning.
What is even more remarkable is how your adaptation of classic literary masterpieces has brought the children closer to literature and art, allowing them to learn through performing and grow through practice. Through this performance, combined with recent exposure to and immersion in Chinese opera, Wan Li has developed a deeper understanding of the aesthetics and deeper meaning of drama. She has also drawn great inspiration from the noble character demonstrated by the artists and teachers involved. Such rich rewards would not have been possible without your thoughtful guidance and boundless patience.
Once again, thank you for your dedicated cultivation of the children and for your encouragement to Wan Li. I hope to have the opportunity to continue learning from you in the future and to witness, together with you, the growth and transformation of even more children under your guidance.
Wishing you good health and continued success in your work.
During this period, through your collaborative brainstorming and expert guidance, you have trained these children, who initially had no acting experience, to become so outstanding. To be honest, I had assumed the children were all quite average and wouldn't show significant improvement in such a short time. I never expected that after watching the performance, I would be overjoyed. Every child has changed tremendously, and this is truly inseparable from Professor Cai's strong artistic talent and Teacher Liu's hard work.
The two of you have been engaged in education and artistic direction for so many years, and you must have received much praise and recognition. But as a mother, I have seen another side of you.
On the day of the performance, we parents were busy dressing the children, applying makeup, and testing the microphones. Then I turned my head and caught a glimpse of a figure - Professor Cai's hurried, nervous figure, flashing before my eyes. That image has remained deeply etched in my mind ever since. You were rushing to communicate with the backstage staff near the prompters, then dashing back to the sound engineer. Your pace was so fast that even those of us decades younger than you (or even some of the children) could not match your speed. I was both surprised and deeply moved.
Today, I heard other parents say that Professor Cai was still working despite being ill that day. In truth, we observe many details from small moments. At this moment, I feel deeply that Professor Cai is truly successful. We admire you. ❤️
As for everything else, Professor Cai, your wise teaching and sharp insight are all reflections of your many fine qualities. Talents are earned through hard work. After deep reflection, I sincerely hope that children can learn to observe, learn to be good people, and learn the right attitude toward doing things. Thank you, Professor Cai.
As for Teacher Liu, needless to say, you have always been my favorite and most admired all-around teacher. Thank you.
Dear Professor Cai! Dear Teacher Liu! First of all, I would like to sincerely congratulate the success of the "Lion City Children's Four Great Classics Performance"! This is a wonderful performance. Every child has blossomed on the stage. As a parent, I am deeply proud and moved. Along the way, as an actor's parent, I have silently accompanied my child's growth and progress. Although the rehearsal days are hard, sometimes I even feel tired, and I have thought of giving up. But every time I see the enthusiasm and selfless dedication that Professor Cai and Teacher Liu have poured into the children, I remind myself: "Hold on a little longer!" This belief was also passed on to Qiao Yue, helping her learn to persevere and set high goals. It is this persistence that finally allowed her to stand on the stage, present a wonderful performance, and complete her own growth and transformation. Professor Cai, your teachings have deeply influenced Qiao Yue. From the concept of "stage position", "overall view" to "no role is a small role, no lines should be performed with heart", you not only opened the world of performance for children, but also let them understand that performance is far more than the presentation of lines and actions. It is an attitude towards art and an interpretation of responsibility. You let Qiao Yue feel the meaning of growth in the details and shine her light in the small role. Such education and support are priceless for children. I sincerely thank you for your cultivation and inspiration! Teacher Liu, you are an irreplaceable "all-round" teacher in my heart! I sincerely admire your patience and care for children. From pronunciation, intonation to stage performance, you meticulously polish every detail, allowing Qiao Yue to radiate confident light on the stage. Every rehearsal, your encouragement and support become the power for her to persevere. It is under your careful guidance that she not only overcomes the difficulties in performance, but also strengthens her love and pursuit of Chinese culture. Your dedication and hard work have warmed the hearts of every parent. You have not only lit up the stage for the children, but also lit up the direction for their growth. As parents, we are lucky to have met such excellent teachers; as a child, Qiao Yue is even more lucky to have gained this valuable learning and performance experience under the guidance of the two teachers. The story with the Golden Microphone is to be continued, and we also look forward to more beauty and excitement in the future! Sincerely thank the two teachers! I wish you both good health! Qiao Yue's parents
Our children are so lucky to have met Teacher Liu and Professor Cai in their lives! I have always told my children that your generation is so lucky to enjoy the best education and resources in Singapore, which is something that our generation or people from other countries cannot enjoy. Such a good teacher has given you such a good opportunity. Next, it depends on whether you can seize the opportunity and work hard. Talent is important, but in the face of opportunities and hard work, it can only take a back seat. We are grateful to the teachers for teaching our children and giving them opportunities. More importantly, we should turn this gratitude into our own efforts and make achievements. This is the best reward. We, as parents, must do a good job in logistics support and do everything we can to cooperate. Thank you again for meeting you!
The smooth progress and successful presentation of this performance are inseparable from your hard work and selfless dedication to the children. From the arrangement of the program to every detail in the rehearsal, you have devoted great efforts. Children in Singapore who can be influenced by traditional Chinese culture are blessed. Zhijie told me that he was very nervous before going on stage, and after the performance, he was very excited to let me send a message to thank the teacher because the performance made him overcome fear and nervousness and surpass himself. Every wonderful moment of the children on the stage is the result of your patience and wisdom. It is because of your careful guidance that they can show themselves in the performance and gain growth and confidence. Thank you again for meeting and supporting the children's education!
