Parents of the Chinese nation have the same wish - for their children to become successful. Chapter 36 of "Heroes of Sons and Daughters": "I don't want my children to be famous as much as I want my own fame several times more." This profoundly reflects the parents' expectations for their children. Since ancient times, there have been many powerful parents in the history of the Chinese nation. Among the Chinese, who is the most powerful parent in educating their children? You want to know what's going on? The editor is here to reveal the secret for you.
Literary achievements are high, and the family members are all representatives of bachelors - Su Xun and his son. As a father, Su Xun was very talented. He was also very successful in educating his eldest son Su Jingxian (who died young), his second son Su Shi, and his third son Su Zhe. "A father and a son, three poets, four masters of writing through the ages." This is how to describe their family. After all, Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe, the three fathers and sons of the Su family, occupied three seats among the eight great families of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and their reputations have been passed down through the generations. Who doesn’t admire this kind of literary achievement?
However, compared with the education of the Su family, the Li Hongzhang family is no less generous. Because their family has educated two governors and four first-grade doctors. It is said that Li Hongzhang's grandfather was a farmer in Hefei, Anhui Province. He had a lot of fertile land and some medical skills. His family was relatively wealthy. One winter, when Grandpa Li returned home from practicing medicine, he found an abandoned baby. She was dying from the cold, but she was struggling and whimpering. Grandpa Li felt compassion and picked her up and brought her home to raise.
The baby girl gradually grew up and became very sensible and filial. But her face was pockmarked, her feet were not bound, and she was often disliked by the people around her. The Li family never cared about this. Grandpa Li's son Li Wen'an also sympathized with the girl, so Grandpa Li decided to let them get married.
Li Wen'an originally had mediocre talents. When he was 13 years old, his peers were admitted to the scholar examination. He had just finished reading the Four Books and Mao's Poems. He failed in the exams every year. After getting married, under the supervision of the virtuous wife, he suddenly had a smooth journey. He was selected as a scholar at the age of 21, a scholar at the age of 33, and was admitted as a Jinshi at the age of 37. After serving in the Ministry of Punishment, his official career was smooth.
This lady was in good health and gave birth to six boys and two girls to the Li family. Under the guidance of a good tutor and a virtuous mother, six boys and two girls gradually became talents. They are the famous brothers Li Hanzhang, Li Hongzhang, Li Hezhang, Li Yunzhang, Li Fengzhang and Li Zhaoqing in history. Among them, Li Hongzhang's name is well known to everyone. The Li family produced two governors and four first-grade doctors. Of the two daughters, the eldest daughter married Zhang Shaotang, the registered admiral of the same county, and the second daughter married Fei Riqi, the alternate prefect of Jiangsu Province, from the same county. Both of them married very well.
Although the education of Li Hongzhang's family is very successful and everyone is a leader, they are still slightly inferior to Wang Xizhi's education. Because when Wang Xizhi educated his six sons, not only was he a great "calligraphy sage" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but he also trained Wang Xianzhi to be a calligrapher on par with himself. After he was as famous as his father, he was known as the "Two Kings". This kind of artistic genius is truly a rare example in the world.
After seeing that the Su family, Wang family and Li Hongzhang family were all very successful in education, when we look at modern educators, the first thing that comes to mind is Liang Qichao. Because Liang Qichao not only trained all his nine children to become talents, but the saying "three academicians in one subject, all nine sons are talented" refers to these nine children of Liang Qichao. Moreover, he is also a very famous thinker, educator, and politician. He has passed down many educational ideas, which are still used by the education community today. For example, "don't use cramming education", such as "be friends with your children" and other advanced education methods. It was passed down by Liang Qichao.
The above educators are all very successful. However, after counting the most powerful educators in the Chinese community, people identify more with this lady - Wang Shuzhen.
Because she gave birth to 13 children, she trained 13 doctors, the most powerful of whom was the world-famous detective Li Changyu.
Why is Wang Shuzhen so successful? In fact, Wang Shuzhen was born in 1897 in Rugao Town, Nantong County, Jiangsu Province. During this period, many people could not afford to go to school or have enough to eat, but she went to a girls' middle school and wrote good articles. She was simply an intellectual woman in the new era. However, in that era, no matter how well-educated a woman was, she had to marry young, so when Wang Shuzhen was 19 years old, she married Li Haomin, a second-generation local rich man.
Because people like a prosperous family, Wang Shuzhen gave birth to 5 sons and 8 daughters, and Li Haomin was very happy. Unfortunately, life is full of surprises.
Because of the war, the Li family moved to Taiwan with all their property in 1948. In 1949, in order to do business, Li Haomin went to southern Jiangsu to buy a batch of fish fry. Unfortunately, he died while taking the Taiping ship. He was about 50 years old at the time.
When the news came, Wang Shuzhen almost fainted. But she endured her grief and went to the place where the incident occurred to make sure there was no trace of her husband. But there are still 13 children in the family waiting for her to raise. The backbone of the family is gone, and there is no one to support the family's property. What should Wang Shuzhen do as a widow? At that time, all 13 children went to school in the city, which cost a lot of money every day, and no one was around to help her. Some people advised Wang Shuzhen to let several children drop out of school. After all, in that era, few people could support their children. He has been studying, and the children of poor people have become parents early, but Wang Shuzhen refused.
In order to provide for the food, drink and schooling of these 13 children, she started to work as a "maid" or "servant" from the "lady" in the past, taking care of the children, washing, cooking, and tutoring in the homes of the rich. music. Although it is very hard and the quality of life has plummeted, Wang Shuzhen still smiles and often tells her children: "Be nice to others, concentrate on doing things, talk less and do more." She still maintains her helpful character in a tough environment , let the children behave well.
However, Wang Shuzhen is very strict in her studies. At that time, after Li Changyu graduated from the police academy, he became an inspector and the job offered a good salary. Li Changyu wanted to work early to supplement his family income. Wang Shuzhen disagreed with her son's approach. She said to Li Changyu: "You have to continue to study. If you don't have a master's degree, you have to get a doctorate." In this way, under Wang Shuzhen's firm request, all 13 children became adults. Got a Ph.D.
The eldest son Li Changquan became an outstanding businessman after graduating from Shanghai Business School. The second son, Li Changduo, is engaged in scientific research at the Agricultural College and New York University. The third son, Li Changgang, works as an African farming consultant for the United Nations and is also an American environmental water conservancy engineer. The fourth son, Li Changxin, received a doctorate from the University of Maryland in the United States and later served as the vice president of the Research Institute of the University of Virginia in the United States. The fifth son, Li Changyu, is a postdoctoral student at New York University in the United States. He also serves as the Commissioner of the Connecticut Police Department and is an internationally renowned "detective." Even people who are not interested in the case have probably heard of Li Changyu's name.
Wang Shuzhen’s daughters are also very successful.
The eldest daughter Li Changyun graduated from the Central Political School and works in an American stationery company. The second daughter, Li Changlong, graduated from Shanghai Home Economics School and studied fashion design in the United States. After graduating from the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, the third daughter, Li Xiaofeng, studied for a master's degree at Edwards University in the United States and a doctoral degree at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States. Later, she became a tenured professor at New York University in the United States. The fourth daughter, Li Changfan, studied at Soochow University and later graduated from New York University in the United States. She served as vice president of Berlin Securities and president of the American Petrochemical Company. The fifth daughter, Li Changxia, graduated from Drew University in the United States and worked in computer design for an American insurance company. The sixth daughter, Li Changping, graduated from the Law Department of Soochow University and serves as a court judge. The seventh daughter, Li Changru, graduated from medical school and worked in nursing. The eighth daughter, Li Changzhi, graduated from the School of Journalism and the Fashion Institute of Advertising, and later became a well-known advertising design expert in the United States.
Wang Shuzhen has achieved the ultimate success in both being a wife and a mother. It was her tenacious and optimistic character and tolerant yet strict education methods that set an example for her children, which led to the success of her 13 children. She is truly an amazing mother.
Although most ordinary people cannot achieve such a successful education method, parents all over the world are the same and want their children to be successful. It is really pitiful for parents all over the world.
