[In the old days, kids in the countryside were all raised like this. Parents didn't interfere, academic performance was left to take its course, and nobody felt anxious. Even now, we still have one kid like that in our village—tough, resilient, and hardworking. He follows his dad down to the river to catch fish, sets traps for hares, and can drive three-wheelers and tractors with ease. He knows how to handle simple mechanical repairs and is interested in everything, except he's bad at academics. This year he's only thirteen or fourteen, and he dropped out of school in the second year of middle school. His cultural level is too low, so his future options are limited. Even the army requires a certain level of education nowadays!]
"Still, this kind of kid has a much stronger survival instinct than most people. There's every chance he can figure out a business sense of his own."
"Human society has a division of labor. It's unrealistic to expect everyone to excel at studying."
