When people reach their old age, they must learn to pretend to be stupid
People often say: "Life is like a play, and drama is like life." In this drama in his later years, Uncle Qin played the role of a "silly father", but his "stupidity" contains deep fatherly wisdom.
Shakespeare once said, "Life is like a stage, and each of us is an actor." Uncle Qin, an actor who has gone through vicissitudes, chose to interpret father's love in a unique way in his later years - pretending to be stupid.
Uncle Qin's children have all emerged in the torrent of society, and they each have a glamorous life, but their communication with their father is becoming less and less. Uncle Qin knows that if you want to maintain spiritual communication with your children, you must let go of your body and integrate into their world.
"Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing. Uncle Qin often quoted this sentence of Confucius to remind himself. When communicating with his children, he often pretends to know nothing new in order to stimulate their desire to share. Whenever the children enthusiastically introduced him to new technologies and trends, Uncle Qin always widened his eyes and asked curiously: "What kind of magical thing is this? Why haven't I heard of it?" His "stupidity" caused the children to laugh and shorten the distance between them.
Once, when his son came home with a new smart bracelet, Uncle Qin pretended to be surprised and asked, "What is this? Is it a magic bracelet?" The son was amused by his father's humor and patiently explained the function of the bracelet. After hearing this, Uncle Qin was amazed: "It's really amazing! Today's technology is really changing with each passing day." His "stupidity" made his son feel accepted and recognized by his father, and also made their relationship more harmonious.
In the communication with his daughter, Uncle Qin took "pretending to be stupid" to the extreme. His daughter often complained to him about all kinds of troubles at work, and Uncle Qin always listened carefully, and then asked pretending to be puzzled: "What's going on? I don't quite understand, can you explain it to me?" Uncle Qin nodded yes on the side, conveying the warmth of father's love with understanding and supportive eyes.
"Great wisdom is foolishness, great ingenuity is clumsy. Uncle Qin's "stupidity" is his wisdom in life. He understands that in his later years with his children, being too shrewd will only alienate the relationship, and that the right "stupidity" can bridge the gap and enhance the relationship. His "stupidity" is a disguise of love and a deep expression of fatherly love.
"Pretending to be stupid" is not really stupid, but Uncle Qin's strategy of retreating. By "pretending to be stupid", he made his children feel the love and support of their father, and by "pretending to be stupid", he established a deeper emotional bond with his children. This kind of "stupidity" is the secret of Uncle Qin's happiness in his later years.
In this drama in his later years, Uncle Qin won the hearts of his children with the role of "silly father". His "stupidity" filled the family with laughter, and also made the light of father's love bloom with a different brilliance in his later years. As Bingxin said: "Father's love is silent, if you feel it, it's not father's love." Uncle Qin's "stupidity" is a unique interpretation of his silent fatherly love.
"It is enough to have a confidant in life, and the world should treat it with the same heart. Uncle Qin's "pretending to be stupid" made him and his children confidants who talked about everything. In this noisy world, may we all learn to "play dumb", listen, understand, and cherish everyone around us with love. Because, "pretending to be stupid" is not only a kind of wisdom, but also a way of transmitting love, a kind of magical power that makes family affection deeper and life better.
