This is the record of my interview during the Mid-Autumn Festival vacation, and the first parent I interviewed, and still looking back on it, it is still, touching, warm, and wonderful feeling!

Interviewee profile:

Female, 37 years old, full-time mom, insisting on learning oil painting, drawing and teaching others to draw.

Parent of a 6th grade student at a private elementary school. Mom of a 12 year old boy.

This boy, I started with him in second grade, and now he is a flamboyant sixth grader. Today, this boy, would be willing to stick with OU classes in order to get into his favorite middle school. I was young and energetic when I started my first year as a master class, and he was a child who had grown up being showered with "love and freedom", and was too self-centered, so he often had various problems in the group. His mother and I often communicate with each other to figure out how to "cure him". The fact is, we have a good relationship.

We talked again yesterday when his mom came to my house for dinner and an interview.

I really felt that she didn't look like she had a teenage son at all, her spirit and skin were so young, and she was very gentle, loving and polite. She greeted our whole family first when we walked in the door. When it was time to eat dinner, my grandpa didn't feel comfortable coming to the table because there were guests, so she went to the kitchen and greeted my grandpa, and she kept chatting with my grandma, asking her if they were adapting to life over here, etc. She was very kind and loving. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to.

After the meal, we went back to the room to start the interview. I asked questions one by one, and I would realize that she was really a woman who had grown up well. When she saw a problem, she would always start with that perspective of herself first. All the parenting problems, all the children's performance in school, their status, and so on, she would think that they can be solved by "the mom and the child living a good life together", what does it mean to live a good life together? What does it mean to live a good life together? A mother has to try to do her best to be herself: to live an organized life, to be emotionally stable, to be tolerant of others, and to not give up on her own growth. Not giving up on self-growth, etc. And the mom's love for her child, this flowing love, is the fundamental core that solves all the problems, the foundation that gives birth to everything. As she says, the focus must be on the mom herself, not so much to be wonderful, but to be wonderful, to be ourselves.

Speaking of why you keep insisting that your child attend this school? His answer is that this school, unlike other schools, is leading the parents to grow together, he is not changing the child, he is influencing the family, which in turn influences the growth of this child.

The reason why this interview was such a wonderful experience is first of all:because she is a woman of friendship and kindness. Secondly she never gave up on her self-growth, which allowed her to see people, adults and children alike, more rationally, with all the faults and beauty of humanity.

There is another important reason, and the main reason why she is willing to be interviewed by me: because through my behavior she sees herself, and she admires those who work hard to do what they want to do and stick to it without external rewards (e.g., the fact that I did the interview record), because she is also such a person. She has an idea that through art (she provides the materials herself and spends time to take those rural people to paint) she wants them to feel beauty and love through art, and this work, which takes time, energy, and money, is especially meaningful to her. This also deeply affects and touches me.

When I sent him away, I wanted to give her a hug to thank her for her support, but I didn't expect her to hug me tightly, and we laughed, and we encouraged each other to persevere and do what we want to do!

To borrow a phrase she said: ? We are not to be, to be beautiful, but beautiful is ourselves itself.? I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for such a beautiful rainy evening, and to be grateful for meeting such beautiful people in my life!
