In today's society, where competition for jobs and talent is intensifying, societal expectations and the psychological pressure borne by parents weigh heavily on most families like shackles. Principal Liu noted that the root of this anxiety stems from social pressures, information overload, and uncertainty about the future—we persist in measuring children who are inherently different with the same ruler.
Children, however, possess uniqueness, high value (creativity, intrinsic motivation), and scarcity. They are never perfect test-taking machines, but independent individuals with “interesting souls.” Just like the students of Hongrun Boyuan, who, through their unique interests and projects, have successfully captured the attention of the world's top universities. Their achievements prove that in the future world, what will be scarce are not “all-around academic prodigies,” but irreplaceable, unique individuals.
