In a video posted with a story by the China Youth Daily, the unidentified teacher from Henan province in central China distributed notes to all the students in her class who are seen reading them in the clip.

One little girl, named Xianmiao, holds a note in her hands and stares at the words written on it.

“You’ve a lovely voice. If you are brave enough to put your hand up, I’m sure you will be great,” the teacher wrote in the note.

A boy named Zheng Yi, sitting in the middle of the class, is seen unfolding his note.
