Hu Shi's mother's education to Hu Shi is strict and lenient, tolerant but not indulgent. This method not only protects children's self-esteem, but also gives Hu Shi a sense of right and wrong and learns to take responsibility. If you make a mistake, you must bear the consequences yourself. Hu Shi's mother didn't directly instill much knowledge into Hu Shi, but she valued virtue and set an example, always encouraging her son to study wholeheartedly and urging him to achieve something. This article was included in the Chinese edition of China Middle School.

Creation background

This article written in 1930 is the memory of the author's middle-aged life experience. Feng Shundi, Hu Shi's mother, is a traditional "mother image" in the old society. She was widowed at the age of 23 and kept it for 23 years. After experiencing the pain and suffering of life, she died at the age of 46. Feng Shundi would rather be embarrassed than study for Hu Shi. She thinks of her son everywhere and is an enlightened mother who pays attention to intellectual investment. 19181kloc-0/June, she passed away in the hardships of widowhood. Hu Shi lost his father when he was a child, and his mother propped up the whole family with her thin body. At home, the mother plays the role of loving mother strict father-not only to pour maternal love into children, let them feel the warmth of home, but also to strictly control children and let them learn how to behave. All this left the first and deepest memory in Hu Shi's young mind.

theme

My mother runs through an eternal theme, that is, how to be a person. Hu Shi's mother urged Hu Shi to study hard, so Hu Shi was the most diligent among his peers when he was a child. In ten days, there are always eight or nine days when Xiao Hu Shi is the first to open the school gate.

Hu Shi's mother is very strict with him, but "never scolds Hu Shi or beats him in front of others" to protect the child's self-esteem. This is both valuable and important. The mother's maintenance of Hu Shi's personal dignity made him strut on the road of life and become the leader of the new culture movement. Hu Shi's mother never let go of any mistakes he made. Hu Shi said something frivolous, and everyone was quiet at night, so Hu Shi's mother punished him on his knees and severely punished him. "She sat there trembling with anger and wouldn't let me sleep." Such dribs and drabs will undoubtedly form good self-discipline for the development of children's behavior habits, words and deeds. Mother gets along with her family in a big family. She is tolerant, forbearing, gentle, kind, rigid and stubborn, and never gives in on the issue of principle. Mother will never tolerate anything that is detrimental to personal dignity. My mother was the first teacher in my life. She taught and influenced Hu Shi by example, and let Hu Shi know what he should and should not do. Children build a growth model from their parents' words and deeds. Such a "role model" has greater influence than any high-standard preaching. In his mother's reminding, urging, caring and punishing, Hu Shi understood the truth of doing things and being a man bit by bit. He cultivated his own temperament in his mother's behavior. Some people say that mom is a school. Mother uses her pure heart and correct example to teach and demonstrate the truth of being a man, moisten the child's mind, influence the child's virtue and benefit the child's life.

My Mother is the author's memory of his childhood to adolescence after he reached middle age. He grew up under his mother's strict requirements and affectionate care.

Hu Shi, who lost his father since childhood and lived in a complex family, was poor and full of defects in his childhood except for studying. Reading quietly has become the best way for Hu Shi, who lost his father's shelter, to avoid the chaos of right and wrong, and also the best way for him to become strong and support his mother. Xiao He saw his mother's many grievances, many forbearance, many firmness, many weakness, and also carried many responsibilities, many expectations, many concessions and many severe criticisms. In this way, instead of becoming a problem of juvenile, or fighting violence with violence, or feeling sorry for himself, he became a polite gentleman with good temper, tolerance and consideration, and became a famous scholar, poet, historian, writer and philosopher in modern times. His mother's love and education are not only precious, but also have a great influence.

In this article, I wrote seven things about my mother, and these seven things show readers an image of a mother who knows the overall situation, knows how to advance and retreat, combines rigidity with softness, and is strict and kind. Mother licked Hu Shi's sick eyes with her tongue, which is the education of Hu Shi's life and the personality benchmark conveyed by her words and deeds: mother woke Hu Shi up at dawn and did not allow Hu Shi to develop the habit of sleeping late; When I woke up and saw that Hu Shi was awake, I helped Hu Shi reflect on what he said and did wrong yesterday. Mother can't read, but she is very sensible. She may not understand the truth that "a gentleman saves my life three times a day", but she knows the importance of helping children sum up their gains and losses in time. It is very thoughtful of a mother to choose the morning as the time to educate her children. If she did something wrong yesterday, she criticized it at that time, and the child might not accept it at once. After a night's sleep, things passed and my anger subsided. At this time, children can usually listen to a few words calmly. After accepting the mother's instructions in the morning, the child will be particularly careful in his words and deeds all day.
