The explanation of the story:

For adults, this story seems to be easier to understand than Swimming in the River. Obviously, it is telling children a truth: when encountering difficulties, everyone should face them together and cannot escape. Or there is another meaning, that is, we can work together to solve a bigger problem in Qi Xin. But when I was writing Being a Responsible Adult, I suddenly had a better understanding of "going for a ride".

In Swimming on the River, each character appeared one by one, giving a close-up of a single picture and depicting the unique nature of each child. Is he telling us to understand and accept children's nature as much as possible? With this understanding and acceptance, can we better understand and tolerate their actions? In the "ride", it shows another * * * nature of children-"unwilling to take responsibility". Many of us adults are actually children who have not grown up. In our life, we will see many situations in which we don't want to take responsibility, or evade or blame others. Actually, it's all a sign of growing up. In particular, a picture of shirking responsibility is too vivid and familiar.

Let's take another look. What did Uncle Gan do in the face of children's escape and avoidance? Uncle Gan didn't say anything (no lesson, no criticism, no accusation), just let everyone see the facts more clearly, and no one can escape this responsibility. So in the case of necessity, the children all went down to push the cart, and with the encouragement of Uncle Gan, they all tried their best. When the car is finally pushed up the hill by everyone, everyone's inner joy may be unexpected. This can be felt from the scene when they go home and jump into the river to take a bath. This is a fact. Everyone who doesn't grow up wants to avoid responsibility and don't want to face it, but the moment when he really takes it up is actually joy, heartfelt joy and inner growth joy.

For the children in the book, this commitment is passive and necessary, but with such face and responsibility, I believe they will learn to take the initiative to undertake the same thing next time and will really grow up.

Back to life, each of our parents hopes that their children can grow up as soon as possible, learn to bear and learn to pay. Just like Uncle Gan, he also has such expectations for children, but he can do it, first of all, take on himself. Only when adults take on their own responsibilities first can children learn to take on their own responsibilities slowly and truly grow up.
