When I was in junior high school, I would always fall in love. I didn't think it was a big deal at the time, so I graciously admitted it to my parents. At that time, my mom just thought that these things, affected my study, so she would talk about me. However, my father didn't criticize me much.
Instead, he even told me that I should take gender issues seriously. In the subsequent high school and college stage, my father is also with me again and again emphasized, about the protective measures between couples. This also actually seems to be quite normal now, all of which we should learn as we grow up.
But many families in China are too shy to talk about these things. Parents usually leave it to the schools to educate them, but many schools are also very lacking in sex education. Most people's sex education comes from our own biology teacher. I remember my biology teacher, blushing herself when she was talking about couples.
Besides this issue, my parents were a bit edgy when it came to some of the popular phrases that we young people use. They use the words "guy" and "girl" that they used to say in middle school and high school.
They're also up to date on their favorite TV shows. My mom is a big fan of urban dramas, and she's a big fan of Ode to Joy. Last year, when I went home, I saw them watching "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Peach Blossoms" together, and I was so dumbfounded, I don't even watch this drama myself.
My mom is still a big fan of recreation. On top of her cell phone, she also downloaded a lot of small games. In addition to the king's honor and eat chicken do not play, other games she has dabbled in. She especially likes to play Happy Happy, and I feel that my skills are not as good as hers.
I think my parents' edginess is also reflected in their discipline of me. I once asked them if it was okay for me to get married on my own. They just agreed. I told them that I don't want a traditional wedding with a big feast, I like to travel and get married, and they were very supportive of me.
