In this rapidly changing modern society, being a parent is really not easy. Not only do you have to face the problems at hand, but you also need a vision of the society twenty years later, in order to cultivate children who are successful. The rapid changes in society and the advancement of technology make it impossible for us to have a concrete image of the future. We must help children face the unpredictable new era, encourage them to embrace and create the future. Therefore, it is very important to instill strong self-drive, adaptability, resilience, and understanding among children. Not only should they be willing to accept changes, but also to embrace them. Not only do they need to accept failure, but also to learn from failure and turn it into success. We need to train our children to be people who cannot be replaced by machines. That is to say, they need to have innovative ideas that keep up with the times, as well as the delicate emotions and free thoughts of human beings. In this book, the author provides young parents with two aspects of knowledge. First, the knowledge of the experienced. She shares her parenting experience with everyone, so that everyone knows how to solve problems when they face parenting problems. Second, professional knowledge. She shares her knowledge in child psychology and educational theory as a PhD in education, so that readers have more confidence to handle the challenges of raising children. These basic knowledge can help everyone understand children. Raising kids is a very meaningful and happy responsibility. I hope every parent can strengthen their parenting skills and enjoy the time spent with their children.

Since then, he has completed sixty marathon races around the world and continues to challenge himself to run at different marathons, determined to "live to old age and run to old age."

Living in an urban setting means everything has to be efficient. We have to live a fast-paced life, which means we often don’t have enough personal space – physically and spiritually. Compromised personal space also means losing ourselves, making it difficult to get in touch with our true feelings, bodies, spirit, heart, and soul. Our balance is tipped in the suppressed society, living a mediocre, unexciting life. Coupled with the fact that our words and deeds are unconsciously controlled by emotions, both our physiology and psychology are seriously harmed, resulting in increasingly serious social problems. Yin yoga and meditation are a blessing for busy urbanites. They give us space to listen and feel our bodies and our inner selves. By practicing breathing techniques, we feel the calm state of the present moment. This book combines theories and practices of Yin Yoga, anatomy, and traditional Chinese medicine, helping readers understand the interaction between our internal and external environments, as well as the importance of the connection and unity between the universe and the human body. It is not only an introductory book on yoga, but also food for thought that can be easily digested by senior yoga practitioners.
