About In Praise of Teachers
When Shing Chi Tat got fired by his school, he luckily got into a primary school to continue his teaching career. He was assigned to manage the campus TV while teaching visual arts. But this new environment wasn’t as wonderful as he thought. This time, he has to face complains from parents, and got no support from his superior. Not to mention all the difficulties he has to face during the campus TV shooting process. But this time, he chooses to face the problems together with his students. And this time, he got to rethink what education really means.
Directed by Wendy Zhang Xiao Fei, In Praise of Teachers leans on a strong ensemble — Eric Leung Ka-Chun, Po Long Ching Megan, Brenda Chan Kwai-Fan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2017.
