Father's Love Is Like a Mountain, Mother's Love Is Like Water

Introduction: When Shao Mingzhe was seventeen, he found himself living in an invisible cage. His father, Shao Qingshan, was once a talented architect, but now he uses rigid planning to pave an absolutely safe life path for him; his mother, Han Xiuzhen, was once a spiritual poet, but now she wraps him up with meticulous care. He loved his parents deeply, but he also felt suffocated. By chance, he discovered sleeping pills hidden by his mother and hundreds of search records about "facing death calmly" on his father's computer. The family's calm appearance was completely torn apart. What was then revealed was a cruel secret about "predicted parting". Behind all the seemingly authoritarian behavior of his parents was actually a long rehearsal of a race against time to enable him to survive on his own after they left. By writing family history, Shao Mingzhe gradually compiled a set of rules called "Gap of Light" and understood the intergenerational cycle like "stacked mirrors", personality defects like "etch marks", and cognitive transitions like "Gap of Light". He finally understood that all the love in the world points to reunion, but the love of parents points to separation from the beginning. This is a story about breaking free from shackles, but also a story about understanding why the shackles exist, and finally coming to terms with the hands that forged them.
