About This Novel
Hu Yong, a well-known professor at Peking University and Internet research expert, wrote a letter to his two post-00s children, twin daughters - Weiwei and Momo. The book is divided into three sections: "Annual Rings", "Growth" and "Reading". Each section begins with an essay by my mother. The "Annual Rings" chapter records every detail of the children's childhood growth. From the perspective of a wise father, it provides insights into the different characteristics of children at different growth stages, such as language acquisition, interpersonal communication, and personality expression. It provides a vivid and anthropological sample of family education. The "Growth" chapter talks about love, empathy, friendship, self and others, emotional management, virtual world, housework, gender equality, natural ecology and other topics in the loving tone of a middle-aged father communicating with his children. The language is smart and philosophical. Guide children to understand themselves more fully in the rapidly changing era and in an unprecedented digital world, to face the virtual world of the Internet more freely without losing themselves, and to experience colorful life in a richer and more three-dimensional way. The "Reading" chapter records the scenes of reading "The Boy with a Green Thumb", "Anne of Green Gables", "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and other books with the children. It is full of fun and enlightening reading.
