Features: This book collects 312 letters exchanged between the brothers, Hongjie and Hongli, and their parents during their time studying in China and as graduate students in the United States. The main content of the book includes: first, how to study; second, how to be a person; and third, how to handle the relationship between two generations. After graduating from high school and entering university, the brothers explored different learning methods from those in middle school, accumulating both experience and lessons, which can provide readers with inspiration. Learning how to be a person is a crucial issue that every teenager must face. The book contains many topics that resonate with readers, such as patriotism, motivation, integrity, discipline, diligence, hard work, frugality, and even love. Regarding the relationship between two generations, the book features both detailed and earnest guidance from parents to their sons, as well as heartfelt conversations and exchanges between father (mother) and son, including suggestions from the son to the parents. The book is filled with a democratic and harmonious family atmosphere. It also reflects, from a certain perspective, the achievements of educational and teaching reforms in China's higher education institutions. Some of the letters from overseas provide a glimpse into the life of a student abroad.
