Features: A spoiled child who had never traveled far from home suddenly enters Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, New York, far from his family. As a father, Liu Yong often encouraged his son through letters to overcome his laziness and childhood dependency, to find ways to survive and protect himself in the diverse and competitive New York City and the star-studded, highly competitive school. The letters cover everything, from small matters like eating and dressing to big issues like life and the world. Filled with a father's reminders, the words convey that the strongest opponent in every stage of growth is not others but oneself. Before surpassing others, one must first surpass oneself! Only through continuous improvement and self-transcendence can further breakthroughs be achieved. These heartwarming and deeply moving books, when published as a collection, surprisingly performed well, quickly entering the top ranks of bestseller lists and remaining consistently popular. Liu Yong is a renowned educator, writer, and painter, and a representative of successful parents. These books not only guided his son to enter prestigious schools in the United States—Stuyvesant High School, Juilliard School of Music—step by step but also led him to Harvard. The educational methods in these books are unique, the language is warm and approachable, and the perspective is calm and optimistic, leaving readers deeply moved and convinced. Many parents use these books as a reference when facing parenting challenges, saying, "Go read Liu Yong's books and see if he explains how to do it."
