In today's entertainment circle in China, there is a recognized academic bully, Wang Lihong.
Behind him there is a god-level family that can be said to be "contracting the world's famous school".
Wang Lihong's grandmother once "belittled" her grandson in public, "This is nothing, singing is just a profession, mixed food."
What kind of family can make Grandma so confident?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > real bookish mendi</h1>
Speaking of the bully family of this famous school, it is necessary to count three generations.

Li Hong's great-grandfather, Xu Fengzao, was born during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty and was admitted to the Jiangnan Water Teacher School founded by the Nanyang Water Division at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
Because the family was poor and could not afford the tuition, he helped the teacher to pay the tuition fee, and the substitute was still the English class.
Later, because he wanted to support his family, he voluntarily gave up the opportunity to study in the British Navy and became a rear admiral.
In such turbulent times, people's fate is often up to themselves.
However, Xu Fengzao's outstanding military and political abilities made him stand out quickly in the army and make many military achievements.
After the Xinhai Revolution, Xu Fengzao escorted Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the father of the country, to inspect the jianghai, and along the way, the two talked freely about their imagination of the future of new China.
Sun Yat-sen was shocked by the foresight of the young man in front of him, and the two formed a deep friendship.
Before leaving the ship, Sun Zhong's four big characters inscribed "One Color of The Sea and the Sky" were given to Xu Fengzao as a souvenir.
After the founding of New China, Xu Fengzao retreated to Taiwan with the Kuomintang, and his whole family also moved to the opposite side of the strait.
There is such a parent who has participated in historical changes, and the offspring are also a top person.
To Wang Lihong's grandmother, it can be said that it has promoted the development of China's modern history.
The second son, Xu Qingyun, graduated from the wartime Jinling University and later went to the United States for further study, devoting his life's energy to paper printing research.
As early as the 1960s and 1970s, Xu Qingyun put forward the theory of "zero discharge of papermaking waste" and published a number of articles on zero emissions in professional academic journals, which can be described as advanced thinking.
In the 1990s, Xu Qingyun returned to his roots and moved back to his hometown of Wuxi from Taiwan to settle down.
From then until his death in 2017, Mr. Xu silently sponsored countless poor students from Guangxi and other places, and always hid it from everyone.
With the world in mind, great love is silent, maybe this is it.
The third son, Xu Zhuoyun, is now one of the most famous Chinese humanities scholars in the world.

He received his M.A. in Liberal Arts from the Department of History at National Taiwan University and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Chicago.
He has served as a professor and chair of the Department of History at National Taiwan University, as well as a professor and distinguished professor in the Department of History at the University of Pittsburgh.
He has also been elected honorary fellow of the American Humanities Society, chair professor of history at Chinese University in Hong Kong, chair professor at Duke University, and academician of the Academia Sinica in Taiwan.
His main research areas are Chinese cultural history, socio-economic history and ancient Chinese history.
He is also the teacher of Wang Xiaobo and Li Yinhe.
It is no exaggeration to say that he learned to be rich in five cars.
The youngest son, Yiyun Xu, holds two doctorates from the University of Illinois and Northwestern University, is a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Taipei University, a professor emeritus at the University of Maryland, and a senior engineer at the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.

The eldest daughter, Xu Liufen, wang Lihong's grandmother, graduated from the Department of Economics of Tsinghua University and was a legendary woman of Tsinghua University when she was young.
When she was studying, Xu Liufen was a passionate revolutionary and patriotic youth, she joined the women's rudder of the "Social Federation Group", a peripheral organization of the Communist Party, and as an important initiator, organized the famous anti-Japanese salvation movement "129 Movement", demanding that the National Government stop the policy of "outside the country must first be inside", and unite with the outside world.
In 1949, Xu Liufen moved to Taiwan with his family and became the director of the General Department of Taipei Business College, authoring major works such as "Principles of Accounting" and "English-Chinese-English Accounting Dictionary".
Xu Liufen's sister, Xu Fengzao's second daughter Xu Wanqing graduated from the National Southwest United University, and her husband Li Mo is a famous contemporary jurist, like her, a graduate of southwest United University, and later went to Harvard University for further study and obtained a master's degree in law.
Li Mo served as a law professor at Tsinghua, ZTE, Furen and other universities, and then moved to politics, serving as the chief secretary of Taiwan's Department of Education and the deputy director of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
Xu Wanqing and Li Mo's son Li Jianfu are famous singers in Taiwan, and he was the original singer of Wang Lihong's "Descendants of the Dragon".

In wang Lihong's parents' generation, they were all properly high-achieving students.
His father, Wang Dazhong, graduated from the Department of Medicine of National Taiwan University, and his mother, Li Mingshu, graduated from National Chengchi University in Taiwan, both of which are top universities in Taiwan.
The three sons they educated are now high-level intellectuals at the level of winners in life.
The eldest son, Wang Lide, won the first place in the national joint examination in high school, and even the then US President George W. Bush wrote to their home to congratulate his brother Wang Lide on achieving such good results and personally received him.
Good enough to alarm the president, what kind of experience is this?
Sure enough, IQ limited my imagination.
He then gave up his offer from Harvard University to pursue a bachelor's degree in medicine at Yale, and then received a master's and a doctorate from the University of Chicago, and his wife also had a master's degree from the University of Chicago.
Today, Wang Lide is a top international pediatric hematology expert and oncology expert, who just received $8.4 million in funding two days ago and was also on Weibo hot search.
8.4 million US dollars is not a lot, that is, more than 50 million yuan, and sure enough, the book has its own golden house (I am sour.)

Wang Lihong's younger brother Wang Likai was escorted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is now a Wall Street elite.
His wife is not simple, she has won the top ten singers, broken the Shenzhen Games record, won the silver medal in the international Olympic numbers, was escorted by the national team to Tsinghua Peking University, and finally graduated from MIT, where she met and fell in love with Wang Likai, and cultivated positive results.

See? Sisters? It's not that excellent men don't look for you, but if you are not good enough, you can't recognize these high-quality resources!
To say that the most "unremarkable" of the whole family may be Wang Lihong.
That is, when he graduated from high school, he scored a perfect score on the SAT, won the American Merit Student Scholarship, was admitted to Princeton, Yale, and Williams Universities, and finally got a doctorate at the Berkeley School of Music.
Even if he married a beautiful wife, he was a graduate student at Columbia University.
I say that good genes can be inherited and no one objects to it, right?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="97" > xueba also have pressure</h1>
Since his debut, Wang Lihong has been known as a "scholar" in the entertainment industry.
Even if it is already so good, in the eyes of grandma, it is just "mixed food".
It is conceivable that growing up in such a family where all of them are academic bullies, how much pressure he has.
Wang Lihong and his parents Image source: Network
In the eyes of Wang Lihong's parents, it is necessary to study well all the way to the first test, and it is a serious thing to be a scientist or doctor when you grow up.
Although the three brothers grew up in the United States, their parents have always adhered to the traditional Chinese educational philosophy.
For example, let them participate in family affairs from an early age to cultivate an independent personality; what they want is never given directly, but guide them to rely on their own efforts to fight, in order to hone their perseverance and sense of competition.
Wang Lihong frankly said that "from a young age, I need to constantly prove myself, not only in front of school and foreign students, but also in the competition at home."
As a child with his own "art bacteria", Wang Lihong is still quite different from other members of this pure school bully family.
Since he was a child, his parents have been the most strict with him, because his grades have not been as top-notch as his brother Wang Lide, nor have he scored everything like his younger brother.
In his impression, his parents often said in front of him, "My brother is really good and has good grades." And you... Drumming? ”
For this reason, Wang Lihong was also very confused.
In those years, for him who had not yet clearly found his position in life, he was completely lost on the road of life.
He knew in his heart that no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to catch up with Zhu Yu's brother in front of him.
At the same time, he also understands that, like academic research like his elders, he loves music more.
However, in a family that placed so much emphasis on education, the dream was too far out of reach for him.
In order to fulfill his parents' expectations, he can only put his dreams in his heart for the time being.
Studying hard and putting in more effort than others is the only way he gets his parents' approval.
In addition to studying, when other peers began to fall in love early and studied how to go out to watch movies and date without their families, Wang Lihong shut himself in his room every day to listen to rock CDs, and wanted to talk about the timbre and skills of various instruments.
Seeing that he was so obsessed with music and did not delay his studies, his parents no longer objected and tolerated the "noise" of the various strange old instruments that he came home from time to time.
Some people have counted all the instruments that Wang Lihong has played in the 23 years since his debut, including Western instruments such as piano, violin, guitar, and bass, traditional Chinese instruments such as Ruan, Erhu, Pipa, and Xi, as well as little-known national instruments such as Aijieke, which can be said to span China and the West, spanning ancient and modern times.
In addition to the local instruments learned when I went out to collect music, I basically laid a solid foundation as a child.
Therefore, the worry about the "Jiang Lang Cai exhausted" that most singers, especially singer-songwriters, often encounters, has never happened to Wang Lihong.
He was agonizing over which style the next album should be presented to fans.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="143" > lie or not, your choice</h1>
It is said that the rich are not more than three generations, but Wang Lihong's family is stunned from the Prosperity of the Qing Dynasty to the present, and each generation is standing at the forefront of the times.
Chongwen's family style of re-teaching, coupled with the teaching according to aptitude, attaches importance to the educational concept of each child's personality and interest development, and it is difficult to think of excellence.
If you take the popular thinking now, from the generation of Wang Lihong's grandmother, there was a Kuomintang officer father, and their children could actually "lie flat" comfortably.
But lying flat for a while, the crematorium afterwards.
It is not that you have to become a social elite, to complete the worldly sense of success is called not lying flat, like Wang Lihong's family, each has its own preferences and research directions, can find a career that is willing to fight for a lifetime, is not it much happier than lying flat?
In the past two years, the domestic "chicken baby" trend has prevailed, making everyone anxious and afraid of breeding regardless of whether there are children or not.
In fact, "chicken baby" is really not a Chinese characteristic.
When China is shouting "lie flat" by the whole people, children in other countries are secretly working hard, especially the elite, and have long bid farewell to the "free range era".
According to the survey, most white families in the United States will associate their children's grades with family education, believing that children can be admitted to gifted classes, the so-called genius classes, which represent the educational achievements of parents.
Asian high-pressure mothers like Cai Mei'er are called "tiger mothers", while on other ethnic groups, they are called "helicopter parents" because they are like helicopters, 24-hour shuttles above their children's heads.
Among the working class in the United States, parents generally advocate "free development", believing that only basic needs such as food, drink and schooling for their children are enough.
Higherly educated parents are more involved in the growth and education of their children, they value the overall development of the next generation, are willing to spend time and energy evaluating their children's views, talents, social skills, etc., and are more willing to learn new skills together in the process of raising their children.
Sociologist Annette Laro calls it "collaborative practice."
Data from a national study in the United States that followed thousands of teens found that children educated by "helicopter parents" were much more likely to have a higher degree.
Education is inherently unfair, but it is at least a glimmer of upward mobility in our society.
You can choose to lie flat while denouncing structural inequality that caused Wang Lihong's family to enjoy an aristocratic education to become a social elite, of course, you can also choose to be a hero of the times like Wang Lihong's great-grandfather from now on, and create a future elite family.
