Chapter 5 The Education of Involution Starts in Kindergarten!

Wang Bingbing watched the barrage of comments scrolling rapidly. She was extremely surprised. She never expected that what she said would resonate so strongly with netizens!

But, upon reflection, she realized that most children in the Dragon Country grew up in such an environment. However, when she thought about it again, compared to her parents’ approach to education, it was indeed far too oppressive. Her parents’ intentions were good, but it ended up placing burdens on the children that didn’t belong to them in the first place…

In contrast, Gu Xu’s educational approach was more scientific. It was also more acceptable to children, allowing them to grow up in a healthy, loving, and warm family environment. Children wouldn’t feel too constrained!

Of course!

This kind of educational method, from the perspective of the post-80s generation, seemed completely contrary to traditional values!

They believed it didn’t allow children to experience their parents’ hardships and efforts!

Over time, it would make children feel that everything their parents did was expected.

In the long run, this could easily lead children to have extreme thoughts and take a wrong path. Netizens on the barrage began to engage in heated discussions over these two different teaching methods!

The debate became intense and chaotic. Everyone stuck to their own viewpoints, believing theirs was correct.

The livestream continued.

Du Chun arrived at the kindergarten with Dan Jiao. After carefully taking the little one out of the car, Du Chun solemnly gave his instructions.

“Dan Jiao, you have to be good and listen to the teacher at kindergarten!”

“No mischief, don’t bully the other kids!”

“Don’t forget, the purpose of coming to kindergarten is to learn!”

Dan Jiao lowered her head, nodding dully.

“Okay…”

Her voice was weak and lackluster.

Hearing the same reminder every day made Dan Jiao feel inexplicably irritated, but she didn’t dare show it directly.

Du Chun, slightly displeased, frowned and slowly crouched down. He looked Dan Jiao in the eyes. Du Chun’s expression was serious and sincere.

“Dan Jiao, Dad is talking to you. Are you listening carefully?”

“Dad says this for your own good!”

“Even though you’re only in kindergarten now, you need to learn more.”

“If you learn a little more every day, you’ll be ahead of other kids.”

Dan Jiao lightly bit her lip, almost automatically responding.

“This way, I can stay ahead and have outstanding grades.”

The two voices overlapped.

Finally, a hint of a smile appeared on Du Chun’s gloomy face.

“It seems like Dan Jiao is really listening to Dad’s words.”

“Good grades will allow you to get into a good school.”

“And become a useful person to society…”

As Du Chun spoke, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of emotion.

The little one was still so young. But by constantly instilling the idea of studying hard every day, one day, Dan Jiao would understand his good intentions.

Du Chun didn’t notice that the little one was growing increasingly impatient, and his face clearly showed his unhappiness. After all, this scene played out at the kindergarten entrance every single day. Dan Jiao had already memorized everything her dad said!

It was truly boring!

Du Chun, still unaware, continued his long speech.

“Even though your mom and I make money from acting, it only seems glamorous on the surface.”

“But that’s just on the surface. The reality is much harder!”

“And we’re not exactly successful…”

Dan Jiao suppressed the irritation in her heart, forced a serious expression, and nodded heavily.

“Dad, I know.”

“I will study hard and listen to the teacher. I won’t misbehave!”

Du Chun nodded in approval.

He adjusted the straps of Dan Jiao’s backpack, then earnestly reminded him.

“That’s right, you must study hard!”

“After all, you are our only daughter.”

“If you don’t study hard, we will be very disappointed…”

In recent years, Du Chun and his wife had invested a lot of energy and time into having a child. Moreover, since they were older and had to balance family matters, their acting careers had suffered a lot. This had led to a significant decline in their income!

In the entertainment industry, there was no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women. While he wasn’t exactly at rock bottom, advancing his career or achieving a second peak was incredibly difficult!

It’s really tough!

If it weren’t for all the factors piling up, Du Chun wouldn’t have agreed to take on this variety show livestream. On the one hand, he hoped to regain popularity through the show. On the other hand, the family expenses were just too high!

They needed money!

The couple had now placed most of their hopes on their son!

They had been nurturing him from a young age, providing her with a comfortable life, while also hoping he would understand their hardships! And this was exactly why Du Chun repeatedly and tirelessly reminded Dan Jiao every day. It had basically become their daily routine.

Du Chun’s endless lecture caught the recognition of many netizens. A lot of people related to his situation, and many shared their thoughts in the barrage.

“Yeah! Du Chun is absolutely right! He speaks for my feelings!”

“It’s so competitive now! If you don’t get ahead from the starting line, it’s really hard to catch up…”

“Parents’ love is the most selfless!”

“They want to give their children the best…”

“As parents, they’ve done their best to provide the best conditions. Now it’s up to the child…”

…

The barrage was scrolling so fast, and it was clear that the majority of comments supported Du Chun’s approach!

They believed that children should start working hard from a young age!

As the saying goes.

“A fast start means fast steps!”

When others rest, we strive!

When others work hard, we work even harder!

You must win at the starting line. If you’re a step behind, you’ll be behind in every step. This is something most parents don’t want to see. As long as they keep pushing and striving, they’ll be ahead of others!

It’s tough! The post-80s generation really has it hard!

They’ve been through social changes. They didn’t eat well growing up, and their family conditions weren’t great!

And after entering the workforce, competition became fierce. Housing prices are skyrocketing, but wages aren’t rising…

The pressure is enormous!

Because of this, they place all their hopes on the next generation. They constantly push their children to study harder. They make their children attend various extracurricular classes!

Learning social skills, etiquette, and cultural knowledge. Trying to shape their children into all-round talents!

While the post-80s generation was flooding the barrage with comments, some different viewpoints also emerged.

“Oh my God! Am I the only one who feels suffocated?”

“It’s kindergarten! Playing is the most important thing!”

“They’re already competing in kindergarten. Just thinking about it makes me overwhelmed!”

“What’s overwhelming? This is for the child’s good!”

“Clearly, these people don’t have kids. That’s why they say such unrealistic things.”

“Exactly! If you don’t have kids, don’t speak out, or you’ll mislead others.”

“Without pushing the child, how can they compete with others?”

“This is really going overboard! They’re just kids!”

“Seriously… these people have lost it! They’re competing in kindergarten, why don’t they compete themselves instead!”

The barrage was filled with heated arguments. At this moment, the scene suddenly changed. At the kindergarten entrance, a young teacher dressed in an intellectual style walked over.

Dan Jiao’s eyes brightened when she saw Teacher Zhang. She happily waved at her and greeted her politely.

“Good morning, Teacher Zhang!”

Teacher Zhang smiled and nodded, complimenting him.

“Dan Jiao looks great in her clothes today!”

The little one was overjoyed upon hearing this.

“Thank you, Teacher! My dad picked this outfit for me.”

Teacher Zhang patted Dan Jiao’s fluffy head.

“Dan Jiao’s dad is amazing! His taste is fantastic!”

Du Chun stood up and nodded at Teacher Zhang.

“Teacher Zhang, thank you for looking after our Dan Jiao!”

“She must have been a little troublemaker for you.”

Teacher Zhang smiled and shook her head.

“Dan Jiao is very well-behaved, she’s a good kid!”

“By the way, Dan Jiao’s dad…”

“There’s something I need to tell you.”

“Last week, Dan Jiao had a small conflict with another child.”

“During the playtime, Dan Jiao was pushed to the ground by another child…”

As she spoke, Teacher Zhang looked a bit embarrassed. She quickly explained.

“However, we have already talked to the other child’s parents.”

“We’ve handled the situation!”

Since this incident happened last Friday, and because the day was particularly busy, Teacher Zhang had forgotten to mention it to Dan Jiao’s father at the time.

She hadn’t had a chance to say anything then, and later didn’t know how to bring it up. Of course, the main reason was that she was afraid Dan Jiao’s parents would be unhappy about the matter!

Once the topic was brought up, the once-cheerful Dan Jiao suddenly became very disappointed!
