When a father in Jiangsu discovered that his child had failed to make the list after the results of the college entrance examination were announced, his reaction was extreme: he chose to commit suicide. This incident has attracted widespread attention from the society and exposed the extreme pressure of some parents on their children's education.
Somewhere in Jiangsu, an ordinary family was in crisis because of an exam transcript. It's not a movie, it's real. The college entrance examination, which determines the fate of countless Chinese students, creates countless joys and sorrows every year. When a family chooses to deal with the results of this exam in an extreme way, we have to think about what kind of social pressures and personal struggles are hidden behind it.
Here's the thing, a father found that his child failed to get into college as he wished after checking his child's college entrance examination results. For many families, this was an ordinary scene, but for this father, it was like a bolt from the blue. His reaction was an extreme choice of suicide. Fortunately, he was found by his son in time, and then neighbors also reached out to help him and rushed him to the hospital.
The father's behavior brought a threat to his own life and dealt another blow to the already disheartened child. Imagine a young person who has just experienced what may be the biggest setback in his life, not only having to face the uncertainty of the future, but also having to endure this tragedy from within the family. Such a double blow is unbearable for anyone.
In our society, the college entrance examination is like a ruler, measuring children's academic performance and measuring the glory and dreams of a family. Many parents pin their unfinished ambitions and ideals on their children, hoping that they can pass the college entrance examination and move towards a broader life path. And when the bridge broke, the reaction of some parents may have been unacceptable.
We must realize that the college entrance examination is not the whole of life. It is just one of many paths, and even if it seems desperate right now, there are countless possibilities and options in life. For a young person who has just entered adulthood, what is most needed is the understanding and support of the family.
Through this event, we should think more about how to reduce unnecessary pressure in education and family life, and how to face failures and setbacks correctly. Education should not be just a race, but a journey to understand the world and understand yourself. The role of parents is not only to supervise and guide, but also to understand and support.
