This blog is comparing the generation of my parents and mine.
First, of my parents’ family were very poor at that time, so there favorite is Spring Festival, because they can have meat to eat and new clothes to wear only on that day, so they like that day very much, but for us, because of they earned enough money, so we don’t need to worried about these things. So our parents some think us live in luck, but some time I’m thinking about is that really lucky? Because of we are rich now, and our parents have strongly hope for let we be succeed, so they let us go to cram schools. And because of we have enough money, the relationships between neighbors and friends are not as good as before. So I said that’s really hard to say is it lucky or not.
Second, when they were my age, they played glass balls and I’m playing World of Warcraft, this is quite different. They really played with their friends, but for us, we have internet now, we have mobile phone, we just need to make a phone call, a message even just talk on QQ. Is the internet really make us closer? Or in fact, it’s farther.
Third, this one is the last one, the person my parents admired is Enlai Zhou, but for me, I even don’t know whom I admire. I don’t admire the leader of the country, I don’t admire great man, although I’m agree them at some time. Sometimes we are too materialism, we even don’t admire the god, we don’t believe him is really exist. But I think this is effect by the elders, the teachers and parents in China should take responsible for that, competes in China start as soon as we born. The teachers only care about our grade in China, and parents are effected by them and give us many pressures.
First I put the picture of Shaolin Temple. This a movie that my parent had seen when they were my age. My parents said they learned a lot from this movie. This is also beginning of the Chinese Kunfu Movie. (Not Hong Kong)
The second picture I chose is a photo of Enlai Zhou, the person my parents used to admire. My parents thought he was very smart. My mother thought he was refined and this might be one reason of she admired him.
The third picture is the photo of Paul Mauriat, he is my parents’ favorite musician. My parents prefer the song “Love is Blue” of all of his songs. I also think he is such a great musician, although my parents and I are quite different in many thing.
The forth one is the picture of glass balls, my parents often play this with their friend when they were my age. Although I haven’t played this, I still think this game sounds nice.
The fifth picture also the last one is a picture of Spring Festival, when my parents were young their families were very poor. So that they can eat meat and have new clothes to wear, these made them like the Spring Festival very much.
Because of my parents were very poor at that time, so they try their best to make us have enough wealth, now I don’t need to worry what to eat, what to wear, but we also have our trouble, we have many pressures on study. We have to go to cram school. But when my parents were studying they don’t need to do these things at all. The reason is they didn’t have so much money. So this is kind of confuse that they don’t have money but also no so much work to do.
