A scientist made an experiment. She divided people into three groups and asked them to walk to a village.

The first group didn’t know the name of the village or how far the village is. They are made to follow the guide. Some people started to say they were unhappy to continue and show their dissatisfaction when they walked halfway. After then, most of them gave up walking on.

The second group were told the name and the distance of the village. When they walked halfway, they still had the courage to keep on. However, while they were walking to three quarters of the way, some people were tired and bored.

Not only had the third group gotten to know the name and the distance, but also there were some stones which showed how far they were from the village. They sang and talked along the way and finally got to the destination happily.

From the experiment, we found that the first group had the hardest time in reaching the destination because they didn’t know where the village was.

BAO, a story of a lonely mother whose little dumpling comes to life, has touched the hearts of millions. The Oscar-winning short film was directed by Chinese-Canadian Domee Shi(石之予). Bao tells bao a heart-warming tale of parental love and the loss feeling when children grow older and leave home.

The mother finds great joy in caring for her little dumpling boy. But all little “baos” grow up. They make friends and become independent. As the dumpling becomes a teen, he pulls away from his mom. All teens can relate to this frustrating time; ②父母想要对待你像小“包宝宝”,即使你几乎是一个成年人了。

As the mother tries hard to stop her “bao” from leaving, she puts him into her mouth and swallows(吞下)him. She is immediately filled with regret and sadness. Her desire to keep him close makes her lose him forever.

Are your parents too protective? Do they make you feel like a “little dumpling”? Do you feel unhappy about this? If so, it will help to remember the love and sadness of the mother in Bao. When you want to roll your eyes(翻白眼)in frustration, remember that your parents are motivated by love. The desire to become more independent is normal. However, you are expected to express your feelings without “lashing out(斥责)” like “bao” does in the film. Ask your parents how you can have some privacy(隐私)and independence in a way that makes them feel comfortable. And remind them that, in some way, you will always be their “little bao”.
