First, the passionate prelude began
When I was immersed in the world of smartphones, I inadvertently found a shocking old news report on many social platforms. The protagonist of the picture, a childish boy, stands blankly in the midst of a group of cheerful and playful peers, looking so out of place.
It's like going back in time, and the style of Huang Yibo in the past immediately emerged in my heart. At that time, this child from a civil servant family carried the infinite expectations of his family - his parents expected him to become the "seed of becoming an official".
Since the age of three, Huang Yibo has been exposed to a wealth of political knowledge under the guidance of his parents. He is an avid observer of CCTV's news broadcasts and is well versed in current affairs and politics at home and abroad.
By the time he was six years old, he was able to independently produce high-quality essays on topics that were important issues for the country's livelihood.
Huang Yibo's mature and steady speech and demeanor make people sigh that his age is really far from his temperament.
When relatives and friends saw Huang Yibo's appearance, they couldn't help but praise him for being "smart and clever" and "becoming more and more official". Huang Yibo's parents were deeply encouraged and firmly believed in their own educational philosophy.
They decided to go all out and propel this child to the top of his life.
2. A wonderful review of Huang Yibo's road to fame
Huang Yibo's performance in school has always been outstanding. With his outstanding academic performance and all-round development, he quickly won the honorary titles of squad leader and Young Pioneer.
Under the careful guidance and cultivation of his teacher, Huang Yibo's writing talent was gradually revealed. One of his short essays was published by New Boy magazine, and he also received a few hundred yuan in manuscript fees.
For a primary school student, this is undoubtedly a great affirmation and encouragement. However, Huang Yibo did not use the manuscript money to buy snacks or toys, but did not hesitate to donate all of them to those in need.
This move immediately attracted warm praise and high praise from the division commanders.
In the school's selection activities, he quickly won the high honor of "Three Good Students".
Huang Yibo's parents are very proud of this, they are full of confidence in their son's excellent performance, and at the same time, they are even more determined to push their son's popularity in society to a new peak.
Therefore, Huang Yibo frequently appeared in the city and surrounding nursing homes, welfare homes and other social welfare places to provide volunteer services, and his selfless dedication and professional attitude aroused enthusiastic responses from the majority of netizens, who praised and forwarded them.
One day, Huang Yibo made an in-depth analysis of the traffic congestion in Wuhan from a unique perspective, and personally wrote a letter to the mayor calling for a solution.
After this incident was widely reported by the media, Huang Yibo's popularity increased like a rocket, and he became a well-known "little star" in Wuhan.
"China Youth Daily" keenly captured the brilliance of this extraordinary teenager and invited him to be interviewed as the cover character. Some media people praised Huang Yibo for his full forehead, broad chin, and delicate eyebrows, which can be called a model of "official appearance".
This evaluation made Huang Yibo's parents feel proud and strengthened their confidence in their son's infinite possibilities in the future.
3. Parents' ardent expectations and strict requirements
As Huang Yibo became famous, his parents' expectations for him also grew. They went all out to mold this gifted child into a future "big official".
During his time at school, Huang Yibo's academic pressure was already quite heavy, but after returning home, his parents still strictly required him to stay up late to read newspapers, delve into political theory, and even submit constructive suggestions to the mayor's hotline from time to time.
Whenever Huang Yibo is affirmed by his teacher or his article is published, his parents will always publicize it on social platforms to show his son's "outstanding" achievements.
They seem to have completely ignored what their son really felt inside. Life in the spotlight prevents Huang Yibo from playing as much as other children. Overexposure has alienated him from his peers, and in a group photo, the other children laugh and show innocence.
Only Huang Yibo has a serious face, straightens his waist, and his hands are respectfully hanging on his sides, revealing a sophisticated and mature officialdom temperament.
In such a family environment full of hope for their son to become a dragon, parents have high expectations for their son's future achievements, but they fall into complete comparison and self-absorption and can't extricate themselves.
However, they didn't realize that the heavy study burden and the strong pressure of public opinion had made it extremely difficult for Huang Yibo to breathe, and the happy and carefree childhood in the past was even more out of reach.
Some people who are well versed in the art of education have expressed deep concern and uneasiness about this, pointing out that Huang Yibo's parents have put too much psychological pressure on their children, and that the lack of independent personality and happiness in their childhood experiences is likely to have a profound negative impact on their healthy development.
Fourth, the growing fame raises doubts
With the increasing popularity of Huang Yibo, many questioning voices have begun to appear in the society. Some netizens pointed out sharply that Huang Yibo's parents gave their children too much psychological pressure, and excessive exposure and public opinion pursuit are undoubtedly harmful to the healthy growth of a child.
More radical netizens commented that Huang Yibo always behaved too mature and steady in front of the camera, lacking the youthful vitality and sunshine he should have, and even had a hint of deliberate pretentiousness.
In the photo, he straightens his waist with a serious face, his hands are neatly hanging at his sides, his brows are tightly locked, and his expression is solemn, which looks out of place with his peers around him.
These critical remarks undoubtedly left Huang Yibo's parents extremely angry and confused. They firmly believe that they just hope that their children can lead by example and become role models and role models for others, so as to inspire more young people to be positive and aspire to serve the motherland.
However, reality has inexorably revealed the truth that anything that is excessively counterproductive. Huang Yibo's too glamorous and too high expectations are placed on him, but the gap between him and ordinary children is getting bigger and bigger, and the loneliness in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, and he is destined to pay the corresponding price for this.
5. Huang Yibo's frustration in high school
Just when the outside world generally thought that Huang Yibo was about to have smooth sailing and embark on the fast track of life, the results of the college entrance examination brought him a heavy blow. Although he successfully entered the Department of Political Science and Public Administration of Wuhan University with his excellent independent enrollment results, he had no choice but to choose a not very well-known tertiary university because his cultural course grades failed to meet the standards.
This result was like a bolt from the blue, completely destroying Huang Yibo's parents and the expectations of the outside world for him. They poured all their hopes and hopes into this talented child, and went all out to shape him into a future "big official" figure, however, what they never expected was that the final outcome was that Huang Yibo entered an inconspicuous three colleges.
In the past, Huang Yibo, the "five-bar primary school student" who carried thousands of expectations, gradually moved away from people's sight with the passage of time, and finally disappeared in the vast sea of people. Recalling the classic photo of him and the other children, Huang Yibo stood alone on the sidelines, in stark contrast to the carefree expressions of the children around him.
What's even more jaw-dropping is that one of the children unabashedly threw a "white eye" at the camera.
Looking back at that time, who could have foreseen that many years later, the former "white-eyed brother" would be able to successfully enter a well-known university, while the once highly praised "five-bar boy" would have to succumb to an obscure three-school school? The vagaries of life have made the expectations and hopes of the past like a drop in the ocean.
Huang Yibo's case may reveal a profound truth: being too revealing and outstanding is often more likely to attract controversy, and the best strategy is to keep a low profile, go with the flow, and go with the flow.
6. Conclusion
Nowadays, the name of "Wudaogang Primary School Student" Huang Yibo has gradually faded into oblivion among young people. The child, who was once pinned on high hopes and hailed as the "seed of becoming an official", now lives a plain life, no different from most of us.
However, I don't agree that being ordinary means failing. Although Huang Yibo is extremely talented and has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child, he pursues the recognition and expectations of the outside world excessively, and neglects the most simple desires and pursuits in his heart, which may be the fundamental reason why he has experienced ups and downs.
As parents, they also have an unshirkable responsibility in the process of educating their children. Huang Yibo's parents had too high expectations for him and were too demanding of him. They trumpeted all of their son's "excellent" performances, but they didn't take into account his true feelings.
Overexposure and public opinion pressure will undoubtedly deprive children of the happy childhood time they deserve.
As far as we are concerned, we do not have any right to make further accusations or evaluations of Huang Yibo's current predicament and future, after all, he is still young, and the road ahead is long and tortuous, and it is not a tricky thing to set sail again.
Here, I sincerely hope that no matter what future moment, he will be able to stride forward, free, and fearless, without being bound by the expectations and labels of external objects.
At the same time, I sincerely wish every child to have a childhood full of laughter, thrive, health and happiness!
