In a quiet town, the Li family was once legendary. For generations, the children of the Li family have always excelled in their studies and careers, winning praise from the townspeople. However, with the passage of time, the aura of the Li family seems to have gradually dimmed in recent years.
Mr. Li, the former celebrity of the town, is deeply worried about the changes in his family. He looked at his grandchildren and wondered: Why do they seem to be inferior to the next?
At first, Mr. Li suspected that it was the drawbacks of modern education. He recalls that when he was young, despite the lack of resources, his enthusiasm for learning and respect for his elders never waned. Today, the grandchildren enjoy the abundant educational resources, but they seem to have lost interest in learning and are drifting away from the traditional values of the family.
However, as he looked deeper, he found that the root of the problem was far more complex than he thought. He noticed that his grandchildren lived in an age of information and were fascinated by smartphones and various social software. They are immersed in the virtual world, ignoring real human interaction and deep thinking. During the family dinner, everyone bowed their heads and played with their mobile phones, and there was little communication.
Mr. Li decided to take action. He encouraged his grandchildren to put down their phones and get back to their real lives. He suggested that family members work together to create a "phone-free time" in which they can only meet face-to-face and share each other's lives and feelings. In addition, he guides his grandchildren to participate in traditional family activities, such as handicrafts and family history learning, so that they can feel the charm of family culture.
Over time, the Li family began to change. The grandchildren gradually became interested in learning, and they began to actively read books and think about problems. During the family dinner, there was more laughter and laughter, and everyone began to share each other's lives and insights.
Old Man Li watched the growth and changes of his grandchildren, and his heart was full of relief. He understands that family education is not simply the imparting of knowledge, but more importantly, the guidance of values and the exchange of emotions. In this era of information, only by truly paying attention to family and emotions can we cultivate the next generation with both talent and morality.
