Features: A nationwide social experiment in parenting reform China's first successful case of a parent-child mutual independence agreement. Love is not always straightforward, cunning is not wrong, children need a second weaning, stop being an unlimited liability company manager for your child. — Hao Maishou
I was the "guinea pig" in my father's lab, and now I finally understand my father's good intentions. My father is that old fox, both great and cruel. — Hao Ding
This is a real and successful story of education. Hao Maishou, a researcher from the Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences, wanted his only son Hao Ding to be completely independent by the age of 20. On September 18, 1996, he forced Hao Ding to sign the "Parent-Child Mutual Independence Agreement" and ruthlessly pushed the "fearful of crowds" Hao Ding onto the stage of society, letting him independently solve his future, including independently bearing the cost of higher education, finding a job on his own, getting married and raising a family. Of course, he could borrow money from his parents, but he had to repay it. And Hao Maishou did not need Hao Ding to support him in his old age.
With fear and even hatred, Hao Ding saw that his father really no longer cared about him and had to endure the "humiliation of youth" while searching for a job. He worked as a male typist, did odd jobs in a winery without a salary, lost everything in a business venture, and his girlfriend broke up with him... After a period of painful struggles, Hao Ding truly understood the life lessons of "making money is not easy" and "the importance of knowledge." He worked and studied at the same time and became a senior advertising executive at "Jinwan Evening News" in September 2002. Only then did he deeply understand the love behind his father's "cruelty."
Now, as a high-level white-collar employee, Hao Ding has double joy; love has arrived as promised, he has bought a beautiful new home, and marriage is not far off. From signing the independence agreement to Hao Ding's success, Hao Maishou completed what is considered an impossible "family self-education task" in China.
