There are parents, brothers, sisters and children in a family. Everyone should be harmonious. If you look down on me, I don't like you. This family is warm and happy. Third, harmony between people, respect and me are not opposites. You and I are "you have me and I have you". We should live in harmony, respect each other and tolerate each other.
