As part of the post-2010 generation (10 后), Qiu Wenjun from Nanjing, Jiangsu, enjoyed a joyful childhood thanks to his open-minded family. The 14-year-old studies at Nanjing No. 29 High School with maths being his favourite subject.
Rather than just focusing on his grades, Qiu’s parents encourage him to explore different hobbies. For example, his mother teaches him how to manage his money to build his understanding of money from an early age.
Qiu’s generation grew up during a time of rapid (迅速的) development in information technology. From a young age, they began using smartphones and social media.
“I got my first phone in Grade 3,” Qiu said. “I used it to listen to books like Harry Potter.” His parents trusted him to use the phone in the right way when he was very young.
With the rise of AI, Qiu started using AI tools to help with his studies. “I used AI to check and grade my English writing this summer,” he said. However, he also understands the problems of AI, such as fake images (假图像).
Since the “double reduction” policy (“双减”政策) came out to reduce the pressure on students, Qiu’s school sets up fun after-school activities. Still, he feels the competition among his classmates as many of them attend extracurricular (课外的) classes. “The extracurricular classes I take, like programming, are more for fun, so I’m not very stressed,” Qiu said.
Qiu is thankful to be in a time that allows him to have his interests and enjoy different life experiences. With a deep love for physics and maths, he decided to build a career (事业) in these fields.

It’s common that parents and children disagree (持不同意见) with each other. That’s what we call conflicts (冲突). Some of the conflicts are small and easy to end. Others may need parents to take action and help. To someone’s surprise, by solving them together, family conflicts can help children learn important life skills.
Some simple childhood games show how conflict and repair (修补) work. For example, in peek-a-boo (藏猫猫), children might feel a little unhappy and worried when they can’t see their parents. But when the parents return, everything is OK. As children grow older, they play games like hide-and-seek or tig (捉人). There are small moments of upset even in by great fun and joy. These games help children prepare for all kinds of problems in the future.
As children grow up, they develop their life skills by working through conflicts. When a conflict is too serious for a child, parents may step in. To set a good example, parents could try to remain cool first — don’t be too excited or angry. Next, they can say some kind and nice things to make children feel better. Now here comes the chance for parents and children to sit down. Then they can have a face-to-face communication. This helps them repair the love and trust for each other. In this way, children learn that sometimes things go wrong. But if they deal with them right, they can always have healthy and strong relationships with others.
A healthy process of going through conflict and repair with their parents promises children’s happiness and social success in the future.

[A] Walk with them.
[B]Make them happy.
[C] Say nice words.
[D] Cool themselves down.
