Official Micro, Today's Headlines, Beijing News, Beijing Youth Daily, Surging News, Tencent News... More than 20 domestic media and companies called to say they wanted to shoot this story, which is called the "Hangzhou version of "Beautiful Mind". Thousands of readers sent their sincerest wishes to the suffering "genius son" family.
When the senior author of Hangzhou Daily wrote this article, "genius son" Jin Xiaoyu had to be admitted to a mental hospital due to a recurrence of severe "bipolar disorder". Today, Jin Xiaoyu's stable condition has been discharged from the hospital, and he responded in an interview with reporters: Many of his life is planned by his mother, he rebelled when he was young, and now all aspects are very grateful to his mother, and it is impossible for a person to make achievements.
The son's response pointed out a bright path for thousands of parents who are distressed by their children's education, which is worthy of reflection and learning by all parents.
The story also begins when Jin Xiaoyu, the son who is known as a "genius translator", was born in a cultural family, his parents were college students in the sixties, his mother Cao Meizao graduated from the chemistry department of Nanjing University, and his father Jin Zhiyong graduated from Shanghai Institute of Chemical Technology.
When his youngest son was six years old, a neighbor child put a needle in a toy pistol, and after firing it, it hit Xiaoyu in the eye, and since then one of his eyes has been blind.
Fortunately, both sons were very smart, and the eldest son was admitted to Fudan University and eventually went to Australia. The youngest son, Jin Xiaoyu, was in the top class in his first year of high school, and he had no problem in entering the university, but in that year, his temperament suddenly changed greatly and he no longer went to school.
During the school dropout, the father contacted his son for two jobs, the son was not comfortable, and then he hid at home, lying in bed, and extremely unstable, often suddenly lost his temper, and later intensified, smashing the home appliances, tables, bookshelves, cabinets, doors, etc. over and over again.
At this time, parents realize that their children may be sick, and the major hospitals walk around and are diagnosed as "manic depression" - depression and mania alternate attacks, depression is depressed, do not sleep at night, and even commit suicide, and during the manic period, they accuse others of groundless suspicion, mania, and violent destructive behavior.
Jin Xiaoyu committed suicide twice during his depression, his father and mother hugged him and cried, as parents they had only one wish at this time: children do not study, do not work, do not start a family can be accepted, we only want the child to live.
Since then, his father, Jin Sexyong, has bought a lot of books on mental illness and learned to be friends with his son and work as an assistant for his son. Children spend money on medical treatment everywhere, go out to make money, but even so, parents still do their best to meet Xiaoyu's requirements, Xiaoyu loves to buy books, and there are more than 200 kinds of books at home.
In 1993, during the most difficult period of the family economy, his father risked being smashed and spent more than 12,000 yuan to buy a computer for Xiaoyu, and since then the computer has opened up another world for Xiaoyu.
In the following ten years, Xiaoyu used the computer to teach himself foreign languages, during which he spent another six years to learn German and Japanese, and his English was more consolidated.
In 2010, Xiaoyu's opportunity came - Nanjing University provided Xiaoyu with the opportunity to translate foreign language books at home, and since then, Jin Xiaoyu's translation can be revealed - in the past ten years, 22 foreign books such as "Ship Fever", "Seducer", "Dog Son-in-Law", "Elements of Andre fire Tarkovsky's film", "Collection of Letters" and so on have been translated by him, English, Japanese, German, literature, art, philosophy, every language, every type of book has been perfectly translated by Jin Xiaoyu. It has been greatly praised by professors at Nanjing University and people in various editorial departments, and has also been greatly appreciated by readers.
Mother's NTU classmates called to congratulate and said: You have raised a genius! Indeed, Jin Xiaoyu proved himself with his unquestionable strength.
During the ten years of translating books, Jin Xiaoyu suppressed his illness with his great enthusiasm for the translation cause, and the final illness may be due to the delay in the publication of the 530,000-word German-language original "Collection of Letters" by the German thinker Benjamin, who he had painstakingly translated for a year.
Nowadays, the father has published his son's deeds to the public, hoping that in front of and behind him, his son's talent will get more people's attention, so that the child can get more people's help and continue his career. Just as the old man Jin Sex Yong wished, more and more people of insight are willing to provide Xiaoyu with the opportunity to exert his talents. Xiaoyu will surely get a new life.
The narrator of the article "Our Genius Son", the father Jin Sexyong, did not express too much of his parents' efforts, but Jin Xiaoyu said in an interview, "I rebelled in my early years, but now I have to thank my mother in all aspects, and my life is planned by her", which shows the greatness of parenthood. Think about it, if Xiaoyu didn't have such great parents, he would have spent his life in a mental hospital.
Many parents will feel the powerlessness of education in the face of children with stubborn nature, but "the love of parents is far-reaching", no matter what the child's temperament is, do not abandon or give up, believe in the child, help the child, guide the child to find a path suitable for their own development, even if the child is not controlled, the parents' tenacious love and perseverance can still redeem every "prodigal son". And that's exactly what every parent should do.
If you as a parent are agonizing over your rebellious and stubborn children's education, you will look at Jin Xiaoyu's story, think deeply about his parents' practices, and believe that everyone who is a parent can have some understanding.
