Ang Lee's life experience and sentiment are intriguing. It turns out that life can't be a routine study and further study. This seemingly simple truth may not be understood by everyone, especially those students who have just gone through the college entrance examination and are faced with life choices, and those parents who are eager for their children's success in life may not understand the "true meaning".
Learning, entering a higher school and becoming a talent are almost unavoidable topics for every parent, and they are almost the main line of life planned by every parent for their children. Because there are too many expectations and dreams, almost from the beginning of life, parents take action, and a huge "systematic project" of education is launched in an all-round way: prenatal education, early education, early education, intellectual development, foreign language training, artistic enlightenment, study plan, training objectives and career prospects. They made elaborate plans and arrangements for their children, which almost filled their lives.
Children's life should be colorful, eager to breathe free air and looking forward to growing up in a happy sky. If families, schools and society ignore children's nature and only pay attention to reading and further studies, it is a mistake in education and a regret in life.
In particular, the college entrance examination, which is related to children's future and destiny, has almost become an unbearable burden for children, not only because marathon preparation makes students nervous, anxious and depressed, but also makes it difficult for candidates and parents to let go, or face remorse for their mistakes, or struggle with their own choices, or worry about falling out of the list, or be confused about their future. At this time, parents' resentment will only make children deeply frustrated, and empty preaching will only make children rebellious. What adults should do most is tolerance and understanding, guidance and comfort.
"Son, go home when you are tired." This is what an ordinary mother said to her son. After graduating from a private university, Zhou Shimou, who failed in the college entrance examination twice, still can't find a suitable job in a big city. In desperation, he called home and his mother's words came from the microphone. When he returned to his hometown, his mother did not blame him, but silently warmed him with love, just like when he was a child. Every morning when she comes together, her mother will make him an egg. Seeing that her son had lost weight, the mother killed the old hen that had been laying eggs for four years. When he learned that he wanted some money to buy pens and ink to write novels, his mother did not object because his family was poor, but silently supported him. Finally, his long campus novel "Private College Students" was published, and several influential works came out one after another. He became a young writer.
Telling this story is not to inspire children to "fail", but to tell parents who want their children to succeed to learn to "decompress" and "let go". When their children fail in the college entrance examination, are frustrated and lonely, they should not only worry and struggle for their children's future, but also pay close attention to the spiritual world of caring for their children and say from the heart: "Children, take a break when you are tired!"
