How do we do fatherhood now after reading Chaohua xiwei

Recently, I reread Lu Xun and read his early work "How do we do fatherhood now", and I feel differently than I did in the past.

Not to mention the fact that his views were criticized at the time, but a hundred years later, I believe he will still be criticized. The good thing is that his reputation is not what it used to be, so even if someone wants to criticize him, they will only do so in their mind or in private, not to mention that the person they want to criticize may not even read his book, which is even better.

After reading his article, I had the urge to write a piece on "How We Do Elderly".

First of all, let me say that it is a blessing to be an old person. After all, there are a lot of people who make a trip to the world but don't get to be old people.

They either bravely sacrificed their lives, or were taken by illness, or died in accidental disasters ...... In short, their lives ended before they reached old age.

We are fortunate to have lived to old age, which means that we are lucky to have raised our children, supported our elderly, and completed our careers. It's as if all the obligations that should have been done have been done, and so our loved ones have been fortunate.

There is another reason for writing this article, which is that no one else is writing it. Because China is a country that emphasizes "filial piety", every time I see how to teach people how to respect the old and filial piety, as if age is a noble thing by nature.

No matter how ridiculous, unethical and irresponsible you were when you were young, when you have a lot of age, you are qualified to be worshiped. If this is what is called traditional culture, I think it's better not to inherit it.

When I get a senior citizen card that entitles me to free public transportation, will I also run from the East Side to the West Side for a few cents difference in fare?

Will I also justify taking over the ballpark for square dancing?

Would I also live my days in anticipation, wagging my fingers for my children to come home?

Will I also use my children as emotional garbage cans to dump? Will I too live in memories and refuse to learn?

Will I embed myself in my children's lives and refuse to let go of them because I think "kids are kids"?

Will I also be unable to see the new things and complain that one generation is not as good as the other?

Will I also think filial piety is natural and not be grateful for the help of the young? ......

I warn myself that the world is for the young, and when times are progressing at a rapid pace, the more salt we've eaten and the more roads we've traveled may not be experience.

The aging of the body is a natural law, don't become a bird of prey and bury yourself in drugs and supplements.

Children's children are children's, like can be, but as long as the children are there, we have neither the right nor the obligation to the grandchildren.

Love, neither expect the children's gratitude, not to mention the grandchildren's repayment. Be frugal and choose a healthy lifestyle and live with dignity and grace, because our children want us to be well compared to a frugal legacy.

I want my children to have the patience to teach me things, not just go along and let me be quickly outdated.

I also hope that I am brave enough to try unfamiliar things and always move forward despite my faltering steps.
