Step 1: Lead in We watch and answer
2: Do you think he is a good father In your opinion, what kind of parenting do you experience
Yes, I think he is an excellent father, because he respects and guides his daughters attentively.
My parents set clear rules and expectations, but they also encourage open communication. This kind of parenting made me feel respected and supported while also learning to be accountable for my actions.
My parents are very strict and have high demands. Rules are often set without much room for negotiation. While it could instill a sense of discipline, it might also make me feel restricted and less likely to express myself freely.
My parents are very friend-like and never set strict rules. While giving me a lot of freedom, it might make it difficult for me to develop self-discipline and a sense of responsibility
My parents are often absent or disinterested in my lives. My parents rarely ask about my school progress, or my activities. This lack of involvement can make me feel neglected.

The Parenting Wisdom of Xie Juezai: Lessons from a Revolutionary's Letters
In the quiet corners of Chinese revolutionary history, amidst the grand narratives of social transformation, lies the intimate story of Xie Juezai and his extraordinary letters to his children. Born in 1884 in Ningxiang, Hunan, Xie—later celebrated as one of the "Five Elders of Yan'an"—devoted as much thought to parenting as he did to nation-building. His correspondence, spanning from the 1920s until his death in 1971, reveals a philosophy of child-rearing that was radical for its time and remains profoundly relevant today. At its heart was a simple but revolutionary idea: that true parenting prepares children not for personal success, but for meaningful contribution to society.
Xie's approach began with a deliberate rejection of conventional privilege. As a senior revolutionary figure, he could have easily secured advantages for his children, yet he chose the opposite path. "I bequeath you only three things: diligence, honesty, and independence," he wrote, making clear that no material inheritance would follow. This wasn't mere rhetoric—when his son Xie Fang once hinted at using family connections for career advancement, the father responded with stern disapproval: "Never exploit my name for personal gain. Your worth must come from your own deeds." Such uncompromising standards reflected Xie's belief that character formed through struggle far outweighed any benefits of nepotism.
Education occupied central place in Xie's letters, though not in the narrow academic sense common today. For him, learning served one ultimate purpose: enabling service to others. "Question what you read," he advised his daughter Xie Fei. "A book is a mirror—use it to reflect on society's needs." This critical approach contrasted sharply with the rote memorization dominating Chinese education then and now. Remarkably, Xie practiced what he preached even in old age; at seventy, he began teaching himself Russian, turning the process into friendly competition with his children: "I mastered ten words today. Can you match this " His letters brim with similar challenges—not to foster rivalry, but to model lifelong learning.
What makes Xie's parenting philosophy particularly striking is how it harmonized seemingly contradictory values. He maintained traditional Confucian respect for education and filial duty while utterly rejecting its hierarchical rigidity. Letters addressed to "Comrade Xie Fang" or "Comrade Xie Fei" established equality rare in Chinese families of any era. When his youngest son Xie Piao expressed reluctance about a work assignment in distant Xinjiang, the father's response blended ancient patriotism with modern ideals: "Go where the nation needs you. A true patriot never measures distance." In this single sentence, Xie connected family obligation directly to social responsibility—a theme echoing through all his correspondence.
The modern reader might wonder how such ideals translate to today's hyper-competitive parenting culture. Xie anticipated this tension. Long before "tiger parenting" became a phenomenon, he warned against educational arms races: "Better to raise a compassionate farmer than a corrupt official." In an age obsessed with standardized testing, his emphasis on moral development over test scores feels almost subversive. Similarly progressive were his gender attitudes—unusual for his time—as seen in his insistence that daughters "study as fiercely as sons."
Preserved in collections like Letters of Xie Juezai and honored in Ningxiang's museums, these writings transcend their historical moment. They offer more than a window into revolutionary-era China; they present a radical yet deeply humane vision of parenting's purpose. In Xie's philosophy, raising children was never about perpetuating family status or wealth, but about cultivating citizens equipped to better their world. As contemporary societies grapple with parenting's growing pressures and inequalities, Xie Juezai's letters stand as quiet testament to an alternative path—one where love manifests not in privileges given, but in principles taught and examples set.
1.According to Xie Juezai's educational philosophy, which of the following best describes his view on learning
A. Academic achievements should be the primary goal of education.
B. Students must strictly follow textbook knowledge without question.
C. Education's ultimate value lies in fostering social contribution.
D. Learning languages like Russian is essential for revolutionary work.
2. Xie Juezai's approach to education differed from traditional methods by ______.
A. encouraging blind acceptance of textbooks
B. rejecting the concept of lifelong learning
C. emphasizing critical thinking for social reflection
D. focusing solely on language acquisition
3. Please draw a mind-map of Xie Juezai’s parenting approaches.
Step 4: Speaking and Writing
Groups discuss the advice for a needy parent and draw a mind-map about the suggestions.
Dear xxx parents,
Learning about your struggle with your son really concerns me . Now I am writing to share some practical suggestions rooted in our country’s educational wisdom.
To foster a better parent-child relationship, we can draw inspirations from many ancient sages. First, we can learn for Mencius's mother by arranging a better learning environment for our children. Second, we can follow the suits of Si Maguang through understanding our children’s true thoughts and encouraging independent thinking in the course of their growth. What’s more, we can follow the example of Zeng Guofan stressing the importance of moral education, hard work, and a balanced approach to learning. By embracing their wisdom, we can strengthen our bonds and create a harmonious family atmosphere.
"I sincerely hope these suggestions will help improve your situation. Remember, small steps lead to big changes. Best wishes for smoother communication!"
Best regards,

Dear Mr. Li,
Having learnt that you have met great challenges in getting along with your son,which aroused my deep sympathy and understanding, Now I am writing to share some practical suggestions rooted in our county's educational wisdom.
To foster a better parent-child relationship, we can draw inspirations from many famous celebrities in Ningxiang. If you adopt He Shuheng's method of setting a positive example and discussing your own experiences, you'll likely inspire your son to consider your perspective. You could also benefit from mimicking Xie Juezai's approach of patient guidance and gradual encouragement, which has proven effective in helping children find their path. What's more, by encouraging collaborative dialogue , you can rebuild trust and gradually reach a consensus. Remember, open communication is the key to resolving conflicts.
I sincerely hope these suggestions will help improve your situation. Remember, small steps lead to big changes. Best wishes for smoother communication!"
