Earlier, there were rumours in the political circle that the Liaison Office of the Central Committee required the establishment to "reform" the "three mountains" of Hong Kong's education, justice, and social welfare sectors; Actions such as the delisting of preaching elementary school teachers, education that was inseparable from politics will obviously be more affected in the future.

The two daughters are still young, and education has the most immediate impact on Yuan Michang and Rong Haien's family.

In fact, the two people have very different views on when their daughter should engage in politics. Yuan Michang believes that under the current situation, politics should be taught to her daughter earlier, while Rong Haien believes that it is reserved for high school to teach, emphasizing that politics is not all of life. .

However, the two have a consensus to allow their daughters to freely choose their own political attitudes when they grow up. The most important thing is to be exposed to multiple things. The bottom line is non-violence.

Mother Rong Haien once pointed out in the show that her daughter "Qianqi doesn't know yellow well." Does the little baby know yellow?

"Hong Kong 01" asked the eldest daughter Yuan Changwei, who was only over one year old, in person.

Let daughters first come into contact with multiple things and

Regarding her daughter, Rong Haien once said in an interview, "Thousands of prayers don't know yellow, so you have to la." She explained afterwards that it meant radical and violent behavior.

Talking about the incident, Rong Haien pointed out that when they first started as parents, "we have to learn by ourselves", and the family members themselves are more politicized. It is estimated that daughters will mature earlier in politics. He emphasized that as parents, you should tell your children about values. According to the benchmark, "The values ​​of life should be good, don’t use violence, you should look at what is wrong, don’t hurt people when you say it, I think this is important." She explained that she had seen many young people People swear and swear in the street, don't want children to become like that in the future.

Yuan Michang believes that some more complex political concepts, such as the use of violence to achieve political goals, unlawful justice, and "solicit speculation", are not only controversial but also difficult to understand by themselves, and question whether younger people understand it.

But there is nothing wrong with thinking that teaching people not to use violence.

So, from a political standpoint, do they have any requirements for their daughters?

Rong Haien pointed out that his daughter was still young and hoped that she would be exposed to different things first, and that his parents taught her the same.

Yuan Michang added that while the daughter is free to choose, the question is to know what choices are available.

He mentioned that he dislikes the so-called "belief" and thinks that it is okay for people to have their own beliefs, but they should not impose their beliefs on others. He also pointed out that there are too many simple political ideologies and identity political expressions in Hong Kong. Many do not have much connotation.

As for whether the daughter knows yellow?

Yuan Changwei, who was only over one year old, demonstrated in person.

While playing with crayons, when Rong Haien asked what the color of each pen was, she smoothly read out the colors of each pen, including yellow, blue, pink, and black, but only once for each color.

Rong Haien also laughed to reporters afterwards, let alone my daughter who doesn't understand yellow!

The timing of political education is very different and thinks that being young is not suitable for husbands and points out that the theory should be taught as soon as possible

In the anti-amendment incident last year, many of the arrested participants were under the age of 18. There are voices in the society questioning whether they really understand politics. The establishment often criticizes this as a sign of problems with education in Hong Kong.

As for when he should start teaching his daughter politics, Rong Haien thought while looking at Yuan Michang next to him. He said with a smile that there is a politics teacher teaching at the university (because Yuan teaches politics at the University of Hong Kong).

She said that she thinks it is more appropriate to "start to talk about some" in Form 5 and Form 6, and think that being too young may not be appropriate. We should learn more about other things first. "Social movement and politics are not all of our lives. We need to have other life skills, Work in society, explore one's own interests, potential, etc." For Rong Haien, political education is just a small unit of one of the subjects.

However, Yuan Michang, as a political mentor, believes that politics should be studied earlier.

"I think the current situation in Hong Kong may have to teach them a little bit earlier in politics. In fact, even the first or second year of the university are all ideological things like "Nei-Nicism". If this is the bottom line, it will be better. On top of this, make your own judgment.

"

Adding the national element to education makes sense that

The Hong Kong government has recently vigorously promoted education related to national awareness. The Director of the Education Bureau, Yang Runxiong, has stated clearly that he is preparing textbooks and curriculum syllabuses for "national security". Haien Rong thinks this is a logical matter.

She said that she studied in Hong Kong from kindergarten to middle school, and believed that Hong Kong has always been weak in national education awareness, and rarely mentioned matters and developments in the Mainland. There were "vacancies" in the past 20 years, so it is now strengthened. It is also logical.

"I hope to fill this space. There is a family, a country, and a state-owned family. I hope that my children think that they are children of a country, and we have the support of the state."

Yuan Michang believes that every country in the world has its own ideals and concepts for education, but at the government level, there must be an Agenda (agenda, similar to a political purpose).

He believes that Hong Kong's education policy has already been "chasing the dragon" before, so now it is understandable to put Agenda back in the country or the Hong Kong government.

However, he emphasized that he does not want to see the contradictory approach of the enemy and us. "For example, I saw that all of you believed in something before, and now I deliberately say something that you must not like. That is boring." On the contrary, education is hidden. The role of tacit understanding is more important.
