What sets this book apart from the various parenting books currently popular in the market is its focus on raising children to become responsible adults, especially in cultivating their non-intellectual factors. According to modern educational perspectives, non-intellectual factors are fundamental qualities and core qualities of a person. Whether someone succeeds or not, the role of non-intellectual factors will be the main one. In this sense, becoming a person first is also part of becoming successful. — Special Research Fellow of the Academic Committee of the Chinese Academy of Management Sciences and Senior Educator, Peng Zhirui
