Let us all get used to empathy, the world will be more harmonious because of this~~

Family members are not like friends, so there are so many scruples in the process of communication. It is precisely because most of the time family members are accustomed to do nothing and say nothing, so it is easy to break out large-scale non-armed conflicts, causing emotional damage between children and their parents.

Conflicts with friends can be resolved easily because they are not related by blood, and it is easier to analyze the problem from the perspective of interest. When it comes to interests, one often asks questions like "If I were him, what would I do?"...
It is difficult to communicate with family conflicts because of the lack of this "If I were him" link-it is strange that , Why should we be so stingy to think about the hearts of our family in this way?

Parents should do things for their children, and it is only natural for children to listen to their parents-everyone thinks so, so everyone seems to be very selfish. The more selfish you are, the less you will think about the problem from the other side's point of view-that's how family wars come about.

To put it bluntly, it should be more empathetic.

I think this movie is talking about "empathy", but the filming is more thorough, it is real exchange instead of fake exchange.
Imagine that we, as children, really want to live the life of our parents one day. Will we be able to bear it? And if parents become us, can they cope with this information network society freely?

After watching this movie, as children, let's be considerate of our parents' feelings. No matter how "autocratic" and stubborn they are, the starting point is still for the good of their children-this is also the so-called "parents of all nations".

I think if I become a mother in the future, I should communicate more with my children. I will give him a certain kind of freedom that he didn't enjoy but should enjoy, because I once regretted it.

Parents think more about how they got here when they were children; their children should also think more about what kind of parent they will become in the future.

I think if everyone can look at the roles and relationships of everyone in the family in such a reasonable way, life will be much more harmonious.
