The teacher tearfully said goodbye to his students after the last class.

Recently, a 30-second video clip went viral on social media, capturing the image of a silver-haired teacher sitting on the podium, constantly wiping away tears. Below, the students in the class sang the song “Chalk Dust”. When the students finished singing, the teacher was still emotional, wiping away tears, saying goodbye to the students and leaving the classroom.

The clip was posted by students of class 12A13 of Hoang Mai High School, Hoang Mai town (Nghe An) on the class's Facebook page, along with a message to teacher Van Duc Minh (62 years old): "This is the first time we have seen our teacher cry. Perhaps this is the last time he stands on this podium, the last time we get to listen to his teachings. Thank you for your dedication toeducation over the years. Thank you for your love and tolerance for each of us students. We wish you good health and happiness. We will always be grateful to you!"

Talking about that touching image, Mr. Minh shared: "This is the last teaching hour in class 12A13, also the last official teaching hour I hold chalk and stand on the podium in my teaching career. After finishing the last lesson, I spent some time talking to the students. When I saw them singing goodbye, I couldn't help but cry. Not wanting the students to see the teacher crying, I covered my face with my hand, wiped my tears and quickly left the classroom."

In the last class, the teacher also wrote a yearbook for class 12A13: “… Dear students of class 12A13! After finishing high school, you will enter a new horizon with many new things and perhaps more difficult and arduous things. I always hope and expect that you will overcome them. You must always be confident, inquisitive, bold and persistent, make efforts and strive. Happiness will be rewarded...”.

According to Mr. Ho Hong Son, Principal of Hoang Mai High School, Mr. Minh moved from the South to teach Biology at Hoang Mai High School in 2007. On August 1, Mr. Minh will retire according to the policy. He is a dedicated person to his profession, loves his students, and is loved by generations of students and teachers.
