3, double standards
Regardless of the small dragon behind a series of behavior behind the motive, has been used or not. As overseas Chinese, it is more worthy of us to think about whether we have returned to tradition when we enjoy parental support and help, and ask parents to continue to contribute to their adult children;
When they ask their parents not to interfere, do they hold high the banner of modern western civilization?
On the one hand, overseas Chinese were nurtured by the traditional culture of Confucian thought of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and filial piety, and they grew up with the habit of caring for each other for three generations. On the other hand, they were deeply influenced by the independent thinking of the West. This leads to many paradoxes:
When people of the same age in the West moved out of their parents' homes and lived independently, Chinese children still lived with their parents, enjoying meticulous life care and even economic subsidies.
When Western peers saved up to pay down-payment loans to buy a house, Chinese children lived early on in a house where their parents paid down payment or even fully paid for it.
And when parents express their opinions, they demand freedom and independence without interference.
This is a typical double standard, with two completely different systems of value and morality. Today, on this particular matter, we have drawn out a set of ideas that are beneficial to ourselves, and tomorrow, on another matter, Took out another set of value system which is beneficial to oneself.
At the same time, the acceptance of different cultural values between the East and the West should be based on the strengths of both sides, rather than becoming a fine egoist who automatically switches in different value systems for his own benefit.
For young people who are weaning and developing a world view, double standards are most likely to emerge: when it comes to freedom from their parents, Western standards are set:
I love who is my own business, you do not care;
When they asked for money from their parents, they played coquettish and took out the eastern one:
You have to accept the people I love, we have no money now, you have to support us.
Finally, Gao Xiaosong once shared a story with his parents: when he was admitted to college, Gao Xiaosong was escorted to Zhejiang University. But his parents didn't want him to go to Tsinghua University. So he talked to Gao Xiaosong and told him that a man should have a consistent world view and take out the western one when he cannot be free, and take out the eastern one when he wants money.
If you choose a road, you can't, because of your own interests and convenience, take out this world view today, and tomorrow you will take out that world view again. This is the problem of being a double standard.
Perhaps it is our society that has broken young people, and many fine egoists live in double or even multiple standards and play whatever is good for themselves.
When things happen to others, they use the standards, criticism, humiliation, ridicule, even at the expense of others, distorting facts, or selective criticism. Once things happen to themselves, it's another set of criteria.
Similarly, it is hoped that Wu Cheuk-Lin will not go to Canada to propose to his girlfriend in spite of his mother's objection to the termination of his studies, while calling for help from his father.
As Mrs Ng said: "this is the wrong value." Life without money should be to find a job, not to film to tell others that they do not have money, who is Dad! Do you want to rob a bank if you are poor? This is not the right reason, people have to work hard, should not blame parents. "
Although being a little dragon girl, bearing the pressure of her parents is unfortunate, still hope that she can be kind to life, more kind to themselves.
