Features: I am just a child, and I live in a world made up of my own emotions and desires of "today." Please don’t use the strength you have to scold me severely or punish me roughly. I beg you, speak to me in another way, a way that is easy for me to understand. The changes brought by the past decade are greater than those of several centuries ago. The perspective of this generation of children in experiencing life is completely different from that of their predecessors. They are like a group of pioneers, leaving their hometowns to discover a new continent. The "Child’s Soliloquy" content involves all things that are very important to children. We write both their joys and their pains. This pain is caused by punishment and immense pressure. Adults constantly push children to achieve the highest possible results, making them agonize in pain. Of course, we also wrote about children’s hatred for rules. Rules are definitely part of the adult world, but they have nothing to do with a child’s world. A child’s world is composed of fantasy, activity, and play. Punctuality, achieving success, and doing things in an orderly manner are important abilities for adults, but they carry little weight in a child’s heart. To write a book for the Chinese and their children’s future is of great significance. Some Chinese people have told us about their childhood stories, and we mainly wrote about their situations so that readers can realize that children bring the influence of their childhood into adolescence and adulthood, and it is these influences that shape a person’s entire life. Today, there are few discussions or writings about character development and contemporary educational principles. In reality, however, much research and innovation have been conducted in these two fields, and their results can help today’s generation of parents educate the next generation in a way that suits modern children’s lives. In this way, children will grow up in a country like China, which possesses vast human and spiritual resources, to become capable adults.
