Are you ruined by Zheng's book?

It is no exaggeration to say that Zheng is the exclusive memory of post-80s and post-90s.

Many people are chasing the serial of the king of fairy tales and watching Shuke and Beita grow up.

Childhood was ruined by Zheng.

But in the past two years, the controversy about these fairy tales has become more and more serious. Many parents said, "I won't let my children read Zheng's book, it will ruin their childhood."

As a post-90s generation who watched Zheng grow up and had a happy childhood, Shu Zhanjun believes that the focus of this debate is not "destruction" but "childhood".

A few days ago, "Secret Corner" was broadcast, and many people thought that children's world was so dark and complicated.

This actually reflects our stereotype of children-simplicity, ignorance and naivety.

In the eyes of many people, childhood is like a glass cover full of flowers, and children grow freely in a sterile and transparent environment like flowers.

However, this seemingly protective behavior is actually a restriction-they will face the real world sooner or later, and stupidity only exists in fantasy.

Zheng has long been aware of this, so his fairy tales are "suitable for people aged 9 to 99", because there are both beautiful fantasies and cruel realities, and people of all ages can read what they want from them.

These stories are not so much fairy tales as vaccinations for all children who will eventually face life.

"I am so eager for my son to become a dragon because I am not a dragon."

-Zheng, "I am money"

"Expecting children to succeed" is an ancient tradition. I believe that most children have faced the eager eyes of their parents.

Zheng described such a father in his book I am Money.

In order not to let the children lose at the starting line, he has given his son various classes since he was two years old. There are music classes, art classes, calligraphy classes and English classes. ...

But my son really doesn't have any musical cells-he learned to play the violin when he was two years old, and he didn't learn a song "Little Cricket" for 10 months. Now when he listens to cricket, his hands are shaking and his neck is stiff.

Of course, this story has exaggerated elements, but it also reflects some practical problems. It is human nature to want children to study well, but there are 50 students in the class, the first and the last.

We often pay attention to the top few, but in fact, it is the middle and the back majority who have achieved success.

Childhood was ruined by Zheng.

Shu Chanjun read a news before, and parents want their children to take the exam of 2 1 1, but their children are not doing well now, so parents want experts to give them advice.

Experts euphemistically said that children's current situation should also be considered when setting goals, but parents still need 2 1 1.

Finally, the expert said half jokingly, "I wonder how your academic performance is?"

Parents clap their thighs. "No, it's too difficult to study!" "

The expert said: "You know that learning is difficult, why do you have to let your children get an A?"

"The real meaning of the iron rice bowl is not to eat in one place for a lifetime, but to eat in every place for a lifetime."

-Zheng, "I am money"

When I was a child, what we heard most was: If you study hard now and get into a good university in the future, you will find a good job.

Most of the good jobs in parents' eyes refer to civil servants-they have a fixed income and an "iron rice bowl" when they are admitted to civil servants.

But as Zheng said in "I am money", money can make people free or imprisoned. Money is both a wing and a shackle.

In order to keep their positions as civil servants, many people have been repeating jobs they don't like at all for decades. While yearning for the outside world, they are unwilling to give up their hard-won "iron rice bowl".

We like to say the word "iron rice bowl", but not many people really understand its meaning-iron rice bowl refers not to a fixed job, but to the ability to migrate.

Work may be replaced by technology, but the ability of continuous learning and independent thinking will never be replaced.

In this world, no one will give you an iron rice bowl, only you will give yourself an iron rice bowl.

"Without greed and desire, mankind will never move forward. With greed and desire, mankind will never be happy. "

-Zheng zai's adventure

Looking back now, Shuke and Beita may be one of the earliest CP I brought. With the help of these two cute little mice, Zheng discussed many profound problems, such as the relationship between happiness and money.

Beta thinks money is very important. "No money? Who doesn't want to live a good life? "

Shunk asked: "What is a good day? Being satisfied with what you have is happiness. In addition, whether you live well depends on your mood. Not physical. The happiness brought by material things is false happiness. This kind of false happiness changes with the change of environment, which is temporary and not lasting. "

Childhood was ruined by Zheng.

When I was a child, I didn't care about this conversation at all. I didn't understand the meaning until I grew up and worked.

Many people are busy with money all their lives. If they can't get it, they will be lost and anxious. If they get it, they will be proud first and then empty.

Desire does promote social progress, but it can also become a killer of happiness-"They all want to live better than others from birth, but when they die, they feel inferior to others."

In fact, people do two things all their lives: first, try to get what they want. Second, enjoy what you have.

Unfortunately, desire is endless.

Most people don't do the second thing. So, in essence, the first thing will be futile.

"Don't let others touch the place covered by vest and underpants."

-Zheng, "Cpaing gives you 100 lives"

Two days ago, Shu Chanjun recommended a book about sex education (sex education list for 0 to 25 years old: sex is not a scourge, ignorance is), which mentioned that 0 to 6 years old is the golden age of sex education.

But in real life, many parents regard sex education as a scourge, and they can't avoid it.

However, in the 1990s, Zheng specially compiled a family textbook for his son, covering all aspects of children's safety, including sex education.

This textbook was later adapted as 100 Life from Cpaing.

Among them, 19' s life is: don't let others touch the place covered by vest and underpants.

Cpaing said: "As a minor, if someone touches the place covered by your vest and underwear, avoid it and tell your parents at the first time. No matter who that person is, including teachers and relatives and friends. " (Most underage molestation/sexual assault incidents are committed by acquaintances. )

Childhood was ruined by Zheng.

Zheng even gave a solution. "If the teacher touches the place covered by your vest underwear, parents can call 1 10 directly without looking for a school first."

Because "look for the school first, the school may solve it privately, let the bad guys escape the punishment of the law, and then they may continue to do bad things and hurt other children."

In Zheng's narrative, sexual assault is a crime (qualitative), just like being stolen by thieves, just call the police directly. There is no "victim guilt theory" and there is no "public opinion influence".

This simple and straightforward way of solving problems is still worth learning.

"This argument is out of date. Now is an era with rich arguments and rich words. The more unreasonable people are, the more talkative they are. "

-Zheng "Wolf"

Anyone who saw Zheng as a child may have read the story of Wolf. This big-tailed wolf living in human society, because of its "wolf" status, itself has the property of a bystander who coldly observes human beings.

He became a painter, a commander and a skating genius. When I was a child, I didn't understand. I just think Roark's life is too rich.

When I grow up, I look back and find that this is not a fairy tale. It is simply a realistic human observation with fables.

And this sentence "now is the era of rich arguments." The more unreasonable people are, the more talkative they are. "If it is enough to accurately describe the behavior of contemporary cyber keyboard man, it is this fairy tale work from more than 25 years ago, before the Internet era.

Childhood was ruined by Zheng.

If you think about it carefully, the sprayers, lever experts and keyboard players who swear but "export dirty words" are really "not who is in charge, but who has a hard mouth and a low bottom line".

Luo Xiang, a judicial teacher who had a big fire a while ago, once said: Only people with shallow knowledge will be blindly paranoid, because he has never seen opposing views.

In the same way, unreasonable people, because of their lack of awe, prefer to evaluate and deny others at will. In contrast, they appear to be "talkative".

"The early worm is eaten by birds."

-Zheng

When I was a child, when the teacher taught us that "the early bird catches the worm", there was always a classmate in the class snickering that "the early worm was still eaten by the bird".

That was the children's joke about deconstructing authority, but no one dared to say this to the teacher.

Zheng did just that. As early as Zheng's second grade, there was a written record of "criminal record". We have all written essays on the classic topic "My Ideal", and children have also written articles about scientists and astronauts. If there is no ideal, make up a "teacher" and a "policeman".

This is a kind of "political correctness" for students. Zheng, in the second grade, faced with this problem, honestly wrote down his ideal-to be a dung digger.

In the fourth grade, he wrote an essay entitled "The early worm was eaten by the bird", which was directly scolded and humiliated by the teacher. In a rage, he dropped out of school directly.

In fact, getting up early is not important. What is important is that Zheng, an eccentric student, not only has personality, but also dares to express himself in different ways.

Childhood was ruined by Zheng.

After becoming a fairy tale writer, he often creates characters with personality like Cpaing. Facing the problem of educating children, he has always maintained his own style.

When my son was in elementary school, he came home one day and told him that the teacher said in public that some students "couldn't catch up with the heat." After hearing this, Zheng remembered his childhood. After consulting his son, Zheng asked him to drop out of school and became his own teacher.

It can be said that the early worm is eaten by birds, which may be a wonderful first step on Zheng's road to becoming a fairy tale king.

We don't know whether the early bugs will really be eaten by birds, but one thing is certain, that is, bugs full of personality and persistence will definitely not be eaten by this society.

Such a real Zheng will certainly arouse the resentment of some conservative parents.

However, it is believed that what parents are worried about is actually Zheng's true value, which is also the difference between him and ordinary children's book authors.

Ordinary children's book writers always like to imagine what children like and what they should know before creating. They put themselves in the child's perspective according to their own imagination.

But this is not right, because the children they imagine are rigid and naive, and they are children in the eyes of adults.

Zheng's writing is the opposite. He regards children as independent people and respects them as adults, so what he writes to children is naturally beyond his age, but it is also true and sincere.

The fairy tales he wrote may only be interesting when he was a child, but when he looks back when he grows up, there are still places worth remembering.

Because, this "fairy tale king", when others told us the story of the prince and princess, had already buried a real, even slightly cruel, real world in his fairy tales.

Childhood was ruined by Zheng.
