Family Affection Is Giving or The Hands Push Others to Abyss

Image
  This blog will talk about family affection, which is the relationship between parents and children. There is a quote in Mandarin that explain family affection, which I think is suitable for the writing in this blog, stated below:  ‘Family affection is silent, but it's as deep as the sea;  Family affection is silent, but it’s as heavy as the mountain’ Many people seem to be taught from childhood to listen to what their parents say. “They are older than you; they have more experience than you; they overcome more obstacles than you, so it is right to listen to them.” But did you ever have any idea about wanting to escape from when you were growing up?  Parents too often impose their ideas on their children based on their experiences, past, and failures.
