This book, written by Lin Yutang, a famous writer and philosopher, tells the life of Su Dongpo, a writer and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty. The book comprehensively introduces his life from birth, youth, prime of life and old age. It explains his ups and downs in humorous language and shows us a lively Su Dongpo.
An in-depth understanding of such a person with extraordinary achievements and great personality charm can not only let children be influenced by literature and feel the beauty of classical literature, but also let them understand the truth of being a man and doing things, so that they can benefit for life.
We all hope that children can live a life without storms, but no one can be smooth sailing. It is the most precious gift for parents to cultivate their determination in life and their ability to find happiness and realize self-worth under any circumstances.
Today, I recommend Su Dongpo's biography to children. The key points can make them deeply understand three abilities:
First, the ability to resist setbacks. Su Dongpo's life was ups and downs, and he was demoted or even exempted for many years. However, regardless of gains and losses, he can always live an optimistic and positive life. This is exactly what we need to teach our children to cope with the impermanence of life.
Second, the ability to be happy. Happiness is an ability. Children with the ability to be happy can not only make themselves live a wonderful life, but also infect people around them. Looking for happiness and finding happiness from the dribs and drabs of life can make life full of sunshine all the time.
Third, the ability to take responsibility. As parents, we often worry that children who get too much love and attention can learn to take responsibility and responsibility. This book will tell us how Su Dongpo lives and takes responsibility. People should not only ask for it all their lives, but also contribute to others and society, and establish a correct outlook on life and values, so that our children will have a broader world.
Finally, you can ask your children what they want their life to be like, like an eagle, like flying, like the sky, like the sea, or something else. When the child sees far away, we believe that he will go better and further!
