Feng Haidong and his son stopped and turned around to meet Principal Wang, who was hurrying into the school gate.
Feng Qifan immediately greeted, "Hello, Principal Wang."
Principal Wang responded with a smile: "Hello, Feng Qifan."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Hello, Principal Wang. You look radiant. Is there some good news? And you seem to be in very good health."
Principal Wang smiled and said, "Today our school is holding a Children's Day celebration performance. Isn't this a great occasion? Our school has been doing this for several years now, and every year our performances receive attention from the Education Commission and the city."
At this point, Principal Wang said to Feng Qifan, "Feng Qifan, I heard you have a performance today, so you must do your best."
Feng Qifan immediately agreed: "Principal Wang, don't worry, I will definitely perform well."
Feng Haidong knows that in this day and age, the whole country is talking about quality education and advocating that students should develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically and practically.
My son's school places great emphasis on holistic education, and in the few years my son has been in elementary school, the school has become a model of holistic education in the city.
Therefore, the performance at my son's school on Children's Day every year is always highly anticipated.
Whether it's the education department or the city government, they will all come to watch, and even TV stations and newspapers will come to report on it.
In my previous life, my son was still learning the violin at that time.
However, because her grades at school were mediocre and she wasn't highly regarded by her teachers, it was natural that she wouldn't get opportunities like performing on Children's Day.
In his previous life, Feng Haidong didn't pay much attention to his son's education, so he never took his son's primary school education seriously.
Even after his son got married and had children, Feng Haidong noticed that his son was always very strict with his grandchildren.
They are even willing to go to great lengths to ensure that their grandchildren are superior to their peers in every aspect.
At that time, the elderly Feng Haidong felt sorry for his grandchildren and had a special talk with his son about their education.
In his previous life, Feng Haidong's original intention was to persuade his son and daughter-in-law not to keep pushing their children to excel, but to let them have a happier childhood.
It was during that conversation that Feng Haidong learned from his son about some of his son's mindset when he was a child.
I learned about the impact of the school corridor tile incident on my son's entire school years.
I also learned that my son used to envy those who could participate in school performances on Children's Day and those classmates who were always valued by their teachers.
It was because of his envy of those classmates, and the impact of the corridor tile incident on his son's later student life.
Therefore, the son is very strict in educating his grandchildren.
Feng Haidong understood that his son wanted to make up for the shortcomings of his own childhood through his grandchildren.
Now reborn, Feng Haidong feels he must take responsibility for his son and give him a childhood that shines brighter than his peers, in order to make up for the guilt he felt towards his son in his previous life.
Principal Wang was very pleased to see Feng Qifan's confident and poised demeanor.
She couldn't help but think that she had never known there was such an outstanding student in the school before, mainly because he had such an excellent father.
Thinking of this, Principal Wang looked at Feng Haidong, who was dressed smartly in a suit today, and smiled, saying, "Feng Qifan's father, you are dressed to the nines today. It seems that you attach great importance to your child's performance."
Feng Haidong said, "Yes, to be honest, Principal, I'm even more nervous than he is right now."
Principal Wang chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. We should trust Feng Qifan. He can write such excellent essays, even to the point of being reported in the newspaper. I believe his performance today will also go smoothly."
Then, Principal Wang said to Feng Qifan, "Feng Qifan, why don't you take your instrument to class first? The principal and your father will have a few words together, okay?"
Feng Qifan glanced at his father, then nodded in agreement, and took the violin from him and carried it on his back.
"Goodbye, Principal, Dad, I'm going to class now."
Feng Haidong said, "Okay, then you go to the classroom first. Remember not to show off, and don't break your piano. You'll have a performance later."
Feng Qifan replied, "I know, Dad."
Watching Feng Qifan run towards the teaching building with his violin on his back, Principal Wang smiled and said, "Feng Qifan's father, let's walk a few steps over there and chat for a bit."
Feng Haidong replied, "Okay, Principal Wang, please."
The two walked together to the display board showcasing outstanding student essays at the school.
Principal Wang looked at the newly posted essay by Feng Qifan on the display board, and below it was the small square piece cut from the newspaper.
"Feng Qifan's father, you really surprised me. It's only been less than a month, right? You've made Feng Qifan so outstanding. Now he's quite a celebrity in our school."
Looking at his son's essay in the display case, Feng Haidong was also somewhat moved: "To be honest, Principal Wang, I didn't expect this either. These changes in my son these past few days have also taken me by surprise. I think it's possible that I overlooked many of his strengths before."
Principal Wang nodded and said, "Feng Qifan's father is right. In fact, the education of children requires the joint efforts of teachers and parents. We need to work together to discover the strengths of each child."
Feng Haidong said, "Principal Wang, I think our school's quality education is excellent, promoting all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. In particular, the Children's Day performance gave the children the opportunity to express themselves, and the display board for outstanding essays is really great."
Principal Wang was a little proud: "These were also discussed and decided by our teachers, and we wanted to use them to motivate every child to work harder."
