Crushing-style Education
Final exams, I finally got first place. I thought I had fought for my mom, but she coldly said, "Don't be too happy. Your cousin, Zhang's son, has always been the first from elementary school to high school."
"You've only gotten first place once. You still have six years of middle school and high school ahead of you. Your journey is still long."
I was instantly stunned.
In that moment, I finally understood that my enemy was not just the first place in my class, but the countless first places out there.
Even if someone else's child scored zero, my mom could still find their strengths and ask me, "Why are you so dumb? Even the idiot who scored zero is better than you!"
