Hello, I am a programming wizard. Welcome to the teacher space. This channel is about reading experience and self-growth. Come and learn with me.

The book I want to share with you today is " Dear Andre ". The author of this book is Long Yingtai.

This is the first time I read Long Yingtai’s work, and I didn’t expect to like it so much⁡ Through the correspondence between Long Yingtai and his son Andre, this book expresses the different views of youth, nation and culture between the two generations. While values ​​collide, we can also see the sincere but unspeakable love between mother and son. ⁡ When a conservative Asian mother meets a free-spirited European son, it’s really a big deal. From the first letter, it can be seen that mother and son do not trust each other and do not understand each other, and sometimes they choke each other. However, as the number of communications increased, the mother gradually understood that her son was a "someone else" completely independent of his parents. All they could do was watch the child leave again and again and silently wave behind him. ⁡ My favorite one is probably "Brushing the Hippo's Teeth". When Andre asked whether his mediocrity would disappoint his mother, I thought Long Yingtai's answer was very wise.

For Long Yingtai, happiness is more important than the level of achievement. The key to happiness lies in whether work can give meaning and time. With meaning, you can gain a sense of accomplishment; with time, you can fully experience life. Whether you are mediocre or not is determined by comparing yourself with others. As long as you can feel at ease when comparing yourself with yourself, that's enough. ⁡ As Long Yingtai said: "Love does not mean liking. Love does not mean knowing. Love is actually an excuse for many people to dislike, not know, and not communicate." Many parent-child relationships will fade over time, although My heart is full of love, but it is still difficult to convey it to the other person without speaking it out. This book not only allows us to better understand the differences in thinking between the two generations, but also reminds us that if we have love, we must express it bravely. ⁡
