Children with no parents privilege competition run harder

By Hinako Takeuchi

“There is too much homework today.” “I don’t want to study any more.” “No matter how hard I try,there is little hope.”

Every time I hear these complaints,I get annoyed.Meanwhile I feel with ashamed and self-condemned.Do you know,my child?You are living in an era when everyone depends on parents privilege competition.However,as ordinary workers,your dad and I can’t provide the superior living conditions others have,nor can we guarantee you a good future.

Do you still remember how happy and proud I was when you were admitted into the key senior school in our city?But when I heard you say “I don’t want to learn”,I nearly freaked out （崩溃）.As a traditional Chinese mum,I admit what I’m longing for is that you can make great achievements in your studies and that with the knowledge you have learned,you can change your future.I also know your dad and I have tried our best and we can’t give you more.Therefore,my child,you have no parents privilege competition or family background competition.What you can depend on is your hard work！

Like you,most of the children come from common families.Compared with the rich second generation,they have no parents privilege competition.It is just because of this,these children can run faster and farther...

Remember,my child.It is you yourself who is responsible for your life.My child,with great efforts,run towards you dream,run towards a bright future！

“今天作业真的太多了。”“我不想学了。”“为什么我怎么努力都没用，我觉得没希望。”

每次当我听到这些抱怨，我真的很烦恼。但是同时我感到愧疚和自责。孩子，你知道吗？你生活在一个拼爹拼妈的时代。但是，我和你爸爸只是普通工人，无法为你提供优越的生活条件，也没办法保障你有个美好的未来。

你还记得吗？你进了市重点高中，我是多么地开心，多么地骄傲。可当我听你说出“不想学”时，我几乎是崩溃的。我承认，作为一名传统的中国妈妈，我一心期待你能在学习上有所建树，用你所学的知识来改变未来，改变家庭出身。但我也很清楚，我与你父亲已经尽了全力，再也无法给予你更多。所以，孩子，你没办法拼爹拼妈、拼家庭。你只能靠自己的努力！

像你一样，大多数孩子都来自于普通的家庭，无法和“富二代”拼父母，但是正因为不拼父母，他们才能跑得更快、更远……

孩子，请记住：你需要为自己的人生负责。孩子，为了梦想，为了光明的未来，请用力奔跑！
