During the Republic of China, there were two famous masters, Liang Sicheng and Lin, who only cared about the future development of children and never considered their hobbies. Lin is a famous poet and writer in modern times. She is also the wife of Liang Sicheng, a famous architect in China. Lin also participated in the design of the Monument to Heroes, and made great contributions to the construction of China.
1928, 24-year-old Lin joined hands with 27-year-old Liang Sicheng. After marriage, she has a daughter named Liang Zaibing and a son named Liang Congjie. Both husband and wife are professors of architecture in Tsinghua University, and they attach great importance to their children's education. Especially for his son, Lin hopes that he will become a master architect in the future, and then make greater achievements than his father Liang Sicheng, and finally go abroad to become a world-renowned master architect. So when Liang Congjie was young, the two of them cultivated children's interest in this aspect.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is very easy for Liang Congjie to be admitted to Tsinghua. Of course, Lin and Liang also think so. After all, they trained his son since he was a child. But too unexpectedly, Liang Congjie missed two points when he applied for the Department of Architecture in Tsinghua, and was not accepted. After knowing the news, Lin was simply blinded and thought it was impossible.
Lin believes that both she and her husband are top architects and have trained their son professionally for many years, but it is absolutely impossible for them to apply for a two-point Tsinghua time difference. You know, at that time, the college entrance examination paper could not be repeated, but Lin insisted on reading his son's paper, and as a result, he learned the secret that his son was two points short. I only saw a passage written on Liang Congjie's test paper, "I don't like architecture, I love history." Lin didn't know the secret. It turns out that Liang Congjie calculated the score and deliberately deducted two more points. Lin was very angry at this moment, but she turned her head and thought, "Do I understand my son's interests? This is our fault. "
Later, Lin didn't get angry with his son, but asked him to repeat his studies for one year and then re-apply for the history department of Peking University. The talented Liang Congjie lived up to everyone's expectations. He was admitted to the History Department of Peking University with excellent results, and made great contributions to the future study of Chinese history.
This story tells us to listen to children's opinions and understand what they really need. In this way, they can develop better, instead of blindly stipulating what height their children will reach according to their own expectations. Therefore, interest is the most important teacher for children.
