Comrade Lu Qin can be said to be the foremost expert of our time in researching, analyzing, and investigating the relationship between parents and children. In fact, our time needs many such experts. — Liang Xiaosheng, Famous Writer
She is an excellent author who loves children and can enter their hearts; she is a parenting expert who understands parents and helps them solve their problems; she is a confidante who lights up when she sees a child and feels full of energy; she is a trusted friend whom parents are most willing to confide in.
Having a child and raising them to adulthood is a joy and a happy event. From the moment a mother becomes pregnant, she is blessed and celebrated by her family and relatives. Then, life becomes busy, naturally with joy, as parents on their children.
However, educating children can also be a source of distress. Many parents pour their hearts into it, yet their children never seem to meet their expectations. Some children become more reluctant to study as they grow older. Some parents sacrifice their own comfort to meet their children's every need, yet the children remain ungrateful, even resentful of their parents. Some parents' earnest advice is dismissed by their children, while others are looked down upon by their own kids. They ask: What's wrong with today's children? They think: When I was young, things weren't like this.
Many children also feel distressed. Why do they have so much homework? No matter how hard they try, they can't make adults happy. Why can't their good ideas be understood? Will these conflicts become more intense in the new century? Shouldn't these conflicts be resolved more reasonably in the new century?
Comrade Lu Qin's book, Written for Century Parents, is an effort to address such conflicts. The book includes topics such as: What challenges does family education face? What does a child need to grow? What should parents let go of? What should they leave for their children? What is true love? What does family harmony call for?
