How did you make this work:
This work tells the harm suffered by children born in China from the 1980s to the 1990s under obedience education. Parents during this period were still influenced by traditional Chinese Confucianism, emphasizing "patriarchy" and "obedience." The father is like an emperor, majestic and forbidden to disobey. But the father is an emperor for the good of his children.
