How many people were destroyed by their families?

Wu, who shocked the whole country by being killed by a Peking University student, was arrested and prosecuted.

This is a tragedy caused by the problem of family background. Wu was admitted to Peking University with the help of God in his studies, but his mother was very strict with him and suppressed his thoughts for a long time. Wu wanted to escape to study in the United States, and her mother had to accompany him. His mother's close surveillance made him very disappointed.

Perhaps Wu finally chose the most extreme way to get rid of her mother's control. Either commit suicide or kill his mother, he hesitated, and finally killed his mother to get the last freedom. A young man with a bright future eventually became a murderer of his mother.

I think many people have Wu's experience, but they have not chosen this extreme way to seek liberation. It's hard to escape the influence of family background, but it's possible.

A story of a successful escape from home.

Elegy of Country People is an autobiography, which was recommended by Bill Gates on his blog last year. Before reading this book, I didn't think that the family and community environment would have such a great influence on a child. It suddenly occurred to me that although I am from the countryside like the author, I am very lucky because my parents gave me a stable and healthy family environment when I was a child. Their words and deeds keep me optimistic about the world. They always encouraged me to study and go to school, and finally I succeeded in getting a master's degree from a famous university.

Of course, I am also very grateful to China's college entrance examination system, and even exam-oriented education. Even though this kind of education system has been criticized by many people, it does give me the possibility of upward mobility for children who grew up in rural areas, because as long as I work hard enough, even if I memorize, it is still possible to get into a good university.

However, if it is really quality education, how many poor children have access to these expensive educational inputs, and how many rural students can get admission notices from excellent universities in the fierce competition?

If you have read the story of J.D. Vance, the author of the book Elegy of Country People, you may feel the same as me. Although this is an American story, I believe many people in China have similar experiences, and most of them are not as lucky as Vance.

Sensitive self-esteem of rural people

Vance is a white American, but he is a descendant of Irish immigrants, and most of the mainstream American elites are Anglo-Saxons. In the United States, white people of Irish descent will be called "country bumpkins" or "country people". As can be seen from this label, most Irish immigrants come from the bottom of society and are also at the bottom of society after arriving in the New World. Developed cities were occupied by Anglo-Saxons, so they had to venture into the mountains and expose themselves to the sun.
