let children be children

When endowed with the wisdom of genius, is life destined to be different? Mary Adler was a seven-year-old girl with a talent for mathematics that surpassed that of children her age, and was able to sit in a college classroom and take more difficult math classes with college students. She inherited a lot of wisdom from her mother, Delly Adler, a brilliant mathematician, but Delly was under a lot of pressure and eventually committed suicide, not long after Mary was born. Delly hopes that Mary can have the same life as other children, and not be squeezed into a calculation tool because of a little mathematical talent. She only hopes that his child Mary can become a child and enjoy the child's simplest happiness and life. But on this issue, her grandmother obviously had a different idea. She wanted to work on Mary's talent, pin her mathematician expectations on Mary, and send her to Oak School to receive an education that matched her intelligence. She always thought that this was the right thing to do, until she finally saw Delly's reckoning scratch paper, saw the little tear marks on it, understood her persecution, and self-righteously blocked a lot of unnecessary troubles for her. It is forcing her to hate her life, forcing her to escape from life by death. So in the end what is the most suitable for a talented girl, I think it is real love. The starting point of this kind of love is not what I want you to do, but I want you to like what you do, I want you to do what you like, and I want you to be happy.

    Not good enough, some episodes have a few scenes that are far-fetched, but touching.

    I hope those who blindly tout "Wrestle, Dad" will watch this film
