The Winter Olympics have spawned many educational topics, mainly around Gu Ailing's family education. There is also a lot of discussion in the media, and we can also see that these discussions may have completely different positions.
As mentioned in the previous article, competitive sports, which is also a vanity fair, has entered this vanity fair, and it is impossible to get an exemption to say that only the performance in the field is concerned.
Fans know that Pirlo's family is an executive of a large enterprise, Kaka's family is a doctor, and Son Xingyu's father has abused his son since he was a child...
On the other hand, I think, about her family... In fact, it is a bit too dense, and even to a certain extent, dilutes the fun of the competition itself.
In this regard, the only one who can match her influence in this Winter Olympics is Yu Yusuke. And the media coverage of Yusheng knots over the years has also been abundant, but basically limited to the field.
You like Yu yusuke (it seems that no one dislikes him), either because of his technical ability, or because of his physical temperament and the perfect combination of this physical temperament and the sport he is engaged in, or because of the style of play, and so on.
The charm of Yusei's string is pure, and it is also his happiness.
I won't talk about the rest, and I won't talk about education if I don't want to talk about it.

A big difference between the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics is that the winter sports have very high requirements for venues and equipment, which determines that the threshold for winter sports is very high, for example, a snowboard may be several thousand. Not to mention the high cost of snow and travel and related time costs.
Sports like soccer and basketball, which can have a so-called slum culture, are rare in the Winter Olympics.
So, in essence, there are countless similar elite athletes in the Winter Olympics. The elite here is the true "elite".
In addition to skiing, there are also many ice hockey projects, such as the Goalkeeper Zhou Jiaying of the Chinese women's team, who is also a typical elite, Princeton School Bully, wall Street elite. There are also in the men's team.
Needless to say, the most beloved figure skating is that even the United States and Canada are one-vote Asian players. Some people joke that it is really very inward-looking, and it is basically monopolized by the Asian children in the Bay Area.
So, no matter how we go to package the inner freedom, interest, looseness, chic, the pursuit of perfection, etc.,
The essence is still from fame and fortune, based on fame and fortune, from matter, based on matter,
So many people also joke that instead of chicken babies, it is better to chicken themselves first.
But in my opinion, the vast majority of ordinary people in this world, including me, should not be too attached to the concept of education, and they should not be too attached to certain ideas.
For example, everything is under the product but the reading is high, such as learning xx is not afraid to go all over the world, such as what is the use of reading, go out early to earn money.
Nor should we lie completely flat and let go of our freedom.
Rather, reality should be respected.
Why?
In the case of Zhu Yi, another athlete in this Olympic Games, I know that the sports world is also very popular now, so I will not overly praise and denigrate. But I at least feel that Zhu Yi's conditions in all aspects are also very good, but he has been attacked so many times on the Internet, many of the reasons seem to me to be untenable or unfounded. I believe that as a little girl of about 20 years old, she is also psychologically miserable.
Because Zhu Yi did not perform well in the main game. Some people say that sports competition, cooking is the original sin.
That's exactly what it says. This is the cruelty of sports competition.
At least it doesn't sound like a framework with all sorts of lofty educational ideas.
So will Zhu Yi's father, who supported his children to engage in figure skating, regret his decision that year?
Or to put it another way, if you really love your child, do you want to encourage him or her to engage in sports competition that is so fierce and the result is so cruel?
In different countries, the answers given may be completely different.
I'm an Asian engineer in the Bay Area, "Okay, mainstream sports are good, you like it better." backing. ”
I'm an unemployed Worker in Brazil, "Okay, football is good, play it, the world is yours." ”
I am Shenzhen 996 has a house and a loan 35 years old factory employee, I don't know...
These are the environments.
I do not want to criticize environmental determinism here, but I think that for most people, there is no need to be so obsessed with the right and wrong of the result, and parents adjust their educational concepts according to their own environment and the conditions they have.
For example, for Zhu Yi's father, I believe there is no regret. Because his family is already elite enough to provide his daughter with the resources needed for various development options, and her talent and ability have reached the top level in this field.
If I were her father, and she was standing on the Olympic field, or the field of figure skating, a laurel event (so the figure skating circle was very strong), I would have burst into tears, who cares if she is a champion or not.

But for most of us, our children are not Zhu Yi, not Zhou Jiaying, and we are not Gu Mama or Zhu Papa.
It's possible that our kids have no interest other than playing with their phones and chatting with web anchors.
Our children may not be able to enroll in a normal high school, because the enrollment rate of high schools in big cities is now 50%, in addition to the names of Harvard, Stanford, Yale, etc., we need to consider, if our children only have enough grades to attend vocational school, what should we do?
Children may also be physically very mediocre...
We are often touched by the efforts of athletes, but we do not know that most of the time, the efforts of athletes are actually based on their physical foundations and are already top-notch.
It doesn't matter if you support your child to become an athlete, many coaches will tell you that your child's physical foundation is not suitable for the sport, at least not as a profession.
So, seeing so many children and parents struggling with how long the world's top group sleeps, how they see the world, how much time they spend going to the ski resort, etc... Eventually, it was wrestled with which concept was advanced.
I think it's absurd.
In my opinion, there is no revelation.
We should make choices based on the environment we find ourselves in. And me and the children themselves are part of the environment. This environment may change every few years.
For example, at some stage we can't escape something that requires muscle memory formation. Typical is to do the questions, as well as memorize and so on.
For example, we may also have to adjust in time, so as not to let the child waste time in doing the problem.
I have a female friend who runs a restaurant as her own chef, and she once talked to me about her childhood and youth, and there are many painful memories, some of which are the misfortunes of the typical Chinese family, and some of which are typical of the bad schools in China.
But in short, she later chose to learn to cook, which saved her life. At least I feel that if she hadn't learned to cook, she wouldn't be happier than she is now.
Cooking makes her independent, makes her a living, makes her no longer need to be attached to anyone...
The same thing, for some people, is to do the problem; for some people, it is to enter the factory; for some people, it is to open an online store... Of course, there are also professional athletes, such as women's football, as well as weightlifting, speed skating, diving, gymnastics and so on.
So, all I can do is design my own educational philosophy based on reason and circumstance, whether strict or loose, whether it is free or patient to guide and exhaust my relationships and resources.
I can't, I don't want to take on that much responsibility, but I'm a father, assuming I love my own child, I need to think about him or her.
And I don't have much confidence, how to do children will be happy.
I am a post-80s urban child, which determines two things. First, most of us are single children; second, the physical environment of our upbringing is already ok.
But are we really happy?
Sometimes I look back at many people around me, and some people will complain that when I was a child, I would only read books, so that my life was boring and boring, and later there was no achievement to be proud of.
Some people will complain that when I was a child, I didn't study well because I didn't understand things and was too playful, and later regretted that I couldn't learn it if I wanted to.
See, who is right and who is wrong?
In essence, the life we can grasp on our own is actually limited. We have experienced the tide of various times, we have a very cruel college entrance examination, we need to face super competition to get decent work, many of our industries have risen and fallen in the first few years or jiaozi will be gone next year...
Moreover, there is no absolute relationship between worldly success and happiness. Now the employees of the Internet factory are basically highly educated, famous school students, etc. from the perspective of academic qualifications, but the happiness is generally very low.
Everyone's fate, after all, is his or her own.
Compared with Harvard and Stanford, the school where I went to undergraduate, the school where I went to graduate school, and my hobbies and skills that are complete or not, I still hope that this child can understand as soon as possible that life still needs to be responsible for himself.
Other than that, I can only support him or her according to the circumstances.
Four
Finally, I tell the story of an athlete that most people don't know.
Japan used to have a very talented star named Shota Hirayama. In the past, he has maintained the record of many young Japanese players, two-time scoring champion in the Japanese high school league, the record number of goals scored in the high school league, and the youngest international who played in the Dutch league at the age of 20.
Hirayama is characterized by being tall, 191cm tall, nicknamed "Heisei Monster", and looking like a tiger. This kind of body, for East Asians, is both precious and dangerous.
It is said that the danger is because it is easy to get injured, and it is also a very fierce football game.
Since the age of 25, Hirayama has been injured frequently, he has almost no way to complete a full season, often undergoing surgery and overhaul, and finally choosing to retire early and now become a football coach in school.
The "Heisei Monster" ends up being an unremarkable physical education teacher.
In fact, Hirayama is already considered to be the luckier of countless professional athletes in the world. At least brilliantly, I think the vast majority of professional athletes are not as good as him.
But I want to tell the story of Shota Hirayama because at the end of the documentary, his children say: I want to become a doctor.
Why don't you want to be a footballer and become a doctor?
Because I want to heal my father's feet.
The barrage on Station B reads "Broken Defenses.")
This is part of the environment, and the physical pain of the father is part of the environment, and has nothing to do with the idea of education.
Finally, we may not be able to choose the environment, and suffering is not necessarily wealth, but we should not succumb to the environment. While adapting to the environment, I can always try to do better, and flowers can bloom from the sludge, which I believe everyone understands, and it is the only thing I want to add.
I think the light that flashes in suffering is always a little brighter, or so it seems.
