Features: Early in the morning, Liu Xuan came knocking on his father's door, saying his electric razor was missing and wanted to borrow his father's for the dance later that night. From dinner onwards, Liu Xuan kept making phone calls. The first time he called, his father didn’t answer. The second time, he still didn’t answer. The third time, his father finally roared, “If you want to make phone calls, go outside and do it!” With a bang, he stormed out. Liu Xuan watched his son’s behavior, noted it in his heart, and wrote it down. He used a democratic and logical approach to gently guide him: “From a young age, you should value yourself. Before others affirm you, you must first affirm yourself!” The chapter “You Decide” from this book was selected for the junior high school Chinese language curriculum in Taiwan. Even Liu Xuan, who was often scolded by Liu Xiang in the book, became an idol for young people. Some even traveled from Taipei to Liu Xiang’s New York home to visit Liu Xuan’s “disorganized room.” Liu Xiang is a renowned educator, writer, and painter, and a representative of successful parenting. These books not only helped his son step by step into famous American schools—Stuyvesant High School and Juilliard School—but also into Harvard. The educational methods in these books are unique, warm, and optimistic, leaving readers deeply impressed. Many parents use these books as a reference, saying, “Go read Liu Xiang’s books and see if he explains how to handle this parenting issue.”
