Chinese education stunned educators when Shanghai students achieved the highest PISA score in 2011. Western parents wonder how Chinese parents raise such high-achieving children. They also claim that Chinese parents are strict towards their children. The articles “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan and “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” by Amy Chua describe the experience of how Chinese mothers raise their daughters. Mothers control their daughters' lives. However, if we want to know more about traditional Chinese education, we must look at the "Chinese family". We will find out that Chinese education is not horrible as we thought and it would not affect students' development. On the other hand, it is considered a kind of love from parents, because every parent wants the best for their children. They will certainly help us on the path to success. Generally, Chinese education focuses on repetition and memorization. Chinese students spend more time studying to improve their memory. We often hear that Chinese parents treat their children like slaves, which is not true. A slave is someone who is the property of another person and must work for that person, but Chinese parents did not want any return from their children. According to the article "Two Kinds", Tan's mother claims that she "trades housekeeping services for weekly lessons and a piano for Tan" (Tan 3). Tan's mother proved all her efforts to give Tan a better life. When Tan failed, his mother kept silent out of disappointment so that Tan would discover his mistake to improve. His mother was upset more than anyone. Additionally, Chua experiences the same feeling when her daughter fails. They know it's... middle of paper... an 8-9). Tan's mother's dream and heart were broken into pieces. However, Tan's mother did not want to put the blame on Tan, as she knew that the failure was a big blow to Tan. Tan's mother hid her sadness deep in her heart and bore it herself. This is how Chinese mothers show their love for children. In conclusion, everything has different sides. Chinese education is not great as we thought. In fact, most successful Chinese children are grateful to their parents for their success. Not everything is definitely wrong or right, it depends on how we define it. Parents sacrifice as much as they can to see us succeed along the journey. Our gratitude to the parents is beyond words. Therefore, we must make our dreams come true with the best to carry out their scarification so as not to let them down..
