Most Chinese children seem to get they want. Is this a sort of spoiling(溺爱) or love? I wonder. To my surprise, it seems that the life of a Chinese child is (real) hard. Without doubt , the child is the very centre of a whole circle of adults, but the other hand, he or she is also (expect) to start studying according to adults' wishes. Many children of my son's (age) take painting classes, piano lessons, and even English lessons. It looks as if Chinese adults think just playing without learning anything is waste of time.
So from this point, Western children appear spoiled, just because they are allowed (play). But without this sort of play, can Western children develop such free and rich imaginations? In fact, the connection between this imagination and the creativity is so important in the (child) future life.
