They are children born of life's desire for themselves;

They came into this world with your help, not because of you;

They are by your side, but they don't belong to you.

Gibran

Your child is not your child is adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Wu Xiaole. The book profoundly describes the parent-child relationship distorted by the examination system of chasing scores in the family, and the high-pressure society in which the single value of success ignores individual differences.

Recently, the list of 9 1 Oscar Awards that has received much attention was announced. Due to the lack of awards for China films, the expectations of China fans are getting worse every year.

However, this year, the situation has changed a lot. The animated short film "Baby" directed by China won the "Golden Award" for best animation. When the news came out, there was an uproar.

This short film, which lasted less than 8 minutes, did not have a conversation, but it caused a heated discussion about the parent-child relationship in China on the Internet.

The protagonist of the short film is a mother. One day, she accidentally harvested a little boy from a steamed stuffed bun, which ignited her enthusiasm for being a mother.

She holds her "new son" in her hands every day, taking care of him, bathing, feeding and shopping. Seeing the child grow up day by day, the mother is full of joy, and because the child grows up slowly, the mother's pain will follow. One day, "Baby Steamed Bun" wanted to join his little friend playing football, but his mother stopped him for fear that he would get hurt.

On the way home, angry, he stopped eating the bread handed by his mother, and they started their first argument. Gradually, the dissatisfied "steamed stuffed bun baby" has his own life and his own circle of friends.

The mother who was left out wanted to save it, but the "steamed stuffed bun baby" turned a blind eye and went out for a ride with friends every day. Looking at her wandering son, my mother was very angry. She felt that her son's wings were hard and she began to disobey.

Finally, one day, "Baby Steamed Bun" came home. His mother opened the door with joy, but she welcomed his new girlfriend. What made her collapse even more was that "Baby Bun" came back to pack up and left home.

It's hard to accept the reality that the mother stops. She doesn't want to see her son disobey, and she doesn't want her son to "escape from his palm". I pulled my son back several times, but nothing came of it. When "Baby Bun" was about to leave again, the anxious mother did something unexpected. She grabbed the baby steamed bread, opened her mouth and ate her son in one bite.

Seeing this amazing scene, I suddenly froze and my back kept sweating. The mother's desire for control directly killed her son.

The video spread to the internet and immediately attracted a large number of netizens to watch it. Many netizens cried and bluntly found the shadow of their families.

Different from the short film, the children in life have not been eaten, but the parents' excessive desire for control has also invisibly "eaten" the children's lives. Many parents don't understand why their efforts have not cultivated grateful children, but have caused trouble to the parent-child relationship.

In fact, I don't understand that all children should grow up in the process of stepping into society and experiencing collisions, rather than growing up under the control of their parents.

Real education is knowing how to let go, and real maternal love is a decent export.

Extended data:

Your child is not your child. Six screenwriters adapted nine stories in the book into five units: mother's remote control (screenwriter/Jiang), cat's child (screenwriter/), jasmine's last day (screenwriter/Hong Ziying), Peacock and Bidong (screenwriter/Xia, Xia Ziying).

Breaking away from the general parent-child relationship and the warm words commonly used in educational themes, the adapted story has added micro-sci-fi elements, making real daily life a fable with warning wisdom.
