Chinese has a long history and will improve the language passed down from the previous dynasty in different eras suitable for today's environment. After a long period of improvement, it may be discovered that Chinese and ancient Chinese seem to have become two completely different languages in the future. Many emerging words created by contemporary people are an example of this rule. For example, the "giant baby" commonly referred to in modern people is one of the representative words.
The word giant baby literally seems to be a medical term for describing the huge body of a baby. However, its true meaning contains some derogatory meanings: it mostly refers to being an adult but not having basic living ability, and relies on the help of family members to solve the basic daily survival needs, such as diet and clothing. It is also used to describe people who have mature development but lack the mind. The word is used on 46-year-old Guo Leng. He can't even wash clothes except dancing. Although he earns one million yuan a year, he still cannot get married. Is such a person the best interpretation of the word "giant baby"?
The reason for the generation of "giant baby"
"giant baby" may not be a unique product of this era, but the special meaning of "giant baby" is indeed unique to this era. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our country has ushered in an unprecedented period of rapid development.
not only has the international environment relatively stable, but the economy has also grown significantly. The superior environment and the development of low birth rate have led to parenting management strategies becoming the main point of view of most families. Under such educational purposes, the children trained may be far superior to those of the predecessors in terms of academic and profitability, but it also leads to their lack of basic living abilities under the careful care of their parents.
But what makes more people worry is that the "excellent" children mentioned by these parents not only have low life skills, but also easily show themselves as self-centered in terms of personality and do not consider others. Once the character inertia of childhood is formed, it may accompany the child's life and cannot be changed even after he matures in the future.
Such a personality that likes to talk to oneself is often not consistent with the person's age, so it is labeled as a "giant baby". That is, the meaning of "A person grows up, but his mind is still like a baby, and he will cry if he doesn't like his wishes." But such people are not only available in modern times, and they were also very common in ancient times.
In "The Scholars", there is a story about "Fan Jin passed the imperial examination". In order to take the imperial examination, the protagonist has been mediocre for half his life. Not only has he made no achievements, but he can't even make money to support his family. Scholars at that time paid attention to "not getting involved in spring water". If they fail to study, they can basically be said to be a waste.
It’s no wonder that his wife and father-in-law look down on him, but once he passes the imperial examination, he will have a chance to get it, whether it is the “golden house” or the “thousand-head millet”. It can be said that most of the scholars at that time were "giant babies" in the modern population. However, the public opinion at that time was not as relaxed as modern times. If you dare to mock scholars, officials at all levels would teach you how to be a human being in every minute.
Guo Leng is a person
In modern times, because the difficulty of class leap has become greater, there are many fewer people who change their destiny by studying, but there are more people in other industries, and the dancer Guo Leng is such a person. Guo Leng is from Yinchuan, Ningxia. He was born in 1976. His parents at home are all working people, so his family is not in good condition.
However, my family still attaches great importance to Guo Leng’s education. Guo Leng has lived up to expectations and has always had excellent academic performance. But not long after, Guo Leng was exposed to the career he loved in his life because of an accidental opportunity, that is, dance. After watching a dance performance, Guo Leng and his family came up with the idea of learning ballet .
children's preferences are naturally supported by parents, but at that time, most of the students in ballet were concentrated in the female group, and boys like Guo Leng were also considered special students. Fortunately, Guo Leng is talented and has a high talent in dance. He passed several assessments successfully and steadily got the opportunity to learn.
In order to help Guo Leng study better, his mother decided to accompany him to study so that he could focus on dancing better. From then on, Guo Leng's daily life, including cooking, washing clothes, etc., was under the responsibility of his mother, and he also lived in his life where he paid no attention to anything except dancing. Guo Leng's efforts were not in vain. His talent was valued by the dancer Yang Liping and accepted him as his disciple. Since then, Guo Leng has reached the peak of his life.
Fate at this time, he played a joke with Guo Leng. He was injured during a practice and had to leave the stage. In order to make a living, Guo Leng became a dance teacher. He turned his love for dance and his reluctance to the stage into knowledge and imparted it to the students.
After years of hard work, Guo Leng's reputation has become increasingly popular, and his income has long been over one million years. But Guo Leng is still alone and has not started a family. The reason is that in addition to being able to dance, teaching students and making money, he has almost zero basic skills in life. I'm afraid a woman who can't accept this will not marry him.
"giant babies" with skills
Is it abnormal to focus on one thing, or their own career, and not pay attention to other things, even life and even survival problems? In fact, this is not the case, because not only Guo Leng, there are many Chinese and foreign celebrities from all walks of life who also have such "flaws".
For example, a famous writer, Qian Zhongshu, who wrote a masterpiece like " Besieged City ", is a "life idiot". This is not a criticism from others, but from Qian Lao himself. Fortunately, he married a wife who is smart and smart. His wife Yang Jiang takes care of him meticulously. If Qian Zhongshu had married a wife who didn't understand him, perhaps the label of "giant baby" would be put on his head. Maybe Qian Zhongshu became a "all-round talent" in life skills, and a "mediocre talent" in literary research might be.
This looks like a "giant baby", but there are many people who are "geniuses" in their bones. Because they are too focused on their own fields and ignore other skills, they should not be "giant babies" in the secular sense. This is more like a personal choice, because people have limited energy and it is almost impossible to be distracted from this without the innate development of life skills. Fortunately, the advancement of technology has solved many problems. The shortcomings of not being able to cook and wash can also be properly solved.
In fact, compared with the people in the past, modern people who do not know how to farm and harvest, spin cotton and weave cloth, and can only play with mobile phones and computers, aren’t they also “giant babies” in their eyes?
