Chapter 13 The Awkwardness of Gu Xu and Yang Mi
The barrage of comments in the live stream was flying fast.
“My God! Gu Xu is simply my idol!”
“He’s too awesome, his thinking is miles ahead!”
“But I have to admit, what Gu Xu said is too realistic!”
“He got straight to the point and exposed the truth of everything!”
“Facts speak louder than words.”
“There’s no denying, it’s all true!”
“Not to mention, kids today are really sick too much!”
“Indeed, children’s hospitals are so packed they can’t even fit people!”
“I’m an 80s kid, but I completely agree with Gu Xu’s way of bringing up kids, what he said makes so much sense!”
_____
For various realistic reasons, many young people are unwilling to have children now. And Gu Xu’s words sparked resonance with the majority of the audience!
At the same time, many people were very impressed by Gu Xu.
As the intense discussion among the audience continued, the heat in the live stream kept increasing exponentially!
In the studio hall, both Teacher He and Wang Bingbing nodded in agreement. Gu Xu really dares to speak! He said the things that most people are too scared to say!
But because of Gu Xu, the educational experts present were all immediately enraged!
The elder expert sitting in the middle angrily slammed the table and shouted loudly.
“What nonsense is this?”
“This is simply misleading the audience, what’s the difference from misleading students?”
“Everyone wants their children to become better, but he’s telling them not to be better—what is he trying to do?”
“Does he think he’s so impressive?”
“Or is he just being contrarian, trying to get attention and views?”
Another expert also echoed.
“Exactly, what exactly is Gu Xu trying to do?”
“If all parents had this mindset!”
“How would the nation’s future generations survive?”
“A strong youth means a strong nation!”
“If the youth are only seeking pleasure, what hope does the country have? What hope does the nation have?”
“Du Chun’s approach is the right one!”
“Gu Xu’s education method is clearly not mainstream.”
The experts became more and more furious. Their faces turned red and necks bulged. If they weren’t in the studio hall, they might have lost control and exploded!
Zhang Tati, seeing the experts so emotional, quickly tried to calm them down.
“Parents like Gu Xu are still a minority in the whole of Longguo.”
“He doesn’t represent.”
“All parents’ thoughts and desires!”
“Actually, I personally believe that parents should raise their children to be even better!”
“Make them the pillars of society, contributing to the country’s development!”
The few experts and Zhang Tati exchanged words, criticizing Gu Xu harshly, with not a single positive remark!
There was absolutely nothing good to be found! Yang Mi heard their impassioned speeches and her face instantly froze. Her expression grew more and more unsightly.
Yang Mi became increasingly angry as she thought more about it. It was as if a blazing fire was burning inside her, desperately wanting to burst out.
Just as she was about to retort, something new appeared on the live stream. One of the parents first agreed with Gu Xu’s statement, but then added.
“But Mr. Gu…”
“Didn’t you remind your child to study well in school?”
These words immediately caused many people to nod in agreement. After all, going to school is about receiving an education!
Many were waiting for Gu Xu’s next response.
Gu Xu smiled calmly.
“Actually, you’re thinking about this too far ahead!”
“Before the age of six, children are still preschoolers.”
“And my child hasn’t even reached six yet!”
“There is no need to specifically remind her to study well and improve every day!”
At this point, Gu Xu paused slightly.
“Actually, doing things at the right age is the most correct approach!”
“At this stage, we shouldn’t put pressure on kids. Let them play and have fun.”
“Of course, studying well is very important, but that should come at the appropriate age!”
Gu Xu’s words stirred up a storm among the parents. After all, this was the first time they had heard such a statement. The shock in their hearts was unimaginable!
One parent asked, “Many experts now place great importance on preschool education.”
“They want all children to study hard, compete endlessly…”
“If we don’t work hard now, won’t we fall behind at the starting line?”
This parent spoke the thoughts of countless others. After all, every industry is highly competitive now. If you don’t compete, you’ll definitely fall behind!
And being left behind means being eliminated!
Gu Xu couldn’t help but laugh lightly at this.
“Don’t you find this funny?”
“Those who advocate for focusing on preschool education…”
“Are they really seriously ill?”
Gu Xu had seen similar opinions online earlier, and he thought those experts who proposed this idea were just ridiculous!
“Actually, you all should know,”
“That forcing things doesn’t work! Tell me, what’s the difference between what you’re saying and forcing growth too quickly?”
Many people fell silent at these words.
Gu Xu continued, “What is the so-called ‘involution’? Don’t you all know that involution harms both others and yourself?”
“How many people are forcing their children to study? Making them bear huge psychological pressure!”
“How many children have committed suicide because of school pressure?”
Gu Xu’s voice rose higher.
“I would rather my child not be outstanding than for her to stand on a rooftop and go to extremes!”
“Besides, I don’t need my child to be caught up in this competition!”
“Times have changed. Learning is no longer the only way out!”
Just like when teaching children to always be honest and trustworthy.
Gu Xu sighed.
“My child!”
“I just want her to be healthy and safe, that’s all!”
