"Is it that serious? Is your father so strict?"

"It's normal, it's normal. When I was young, my father beat me up when I committed crimes."

"Haha, as the saying goes, a filial son is born under a rod. Look at the current era. Which child has been beaten by their parents? There are very few of them."

"People are different now. They all like to be reasonable. Some of them are too pampered, but I think it's not a good thing to pamper them too much. It's easy to spoil them into bad habits. Take my son for example. How can he listen to me when I'm trying to reason with him? When he was young, he didn't listen to me. He just had to have whatever he wanted. If I didn't buy it, he would make a scene. He only stopped after I beat him up. Otherwise, he would have long been spoiled into a wastrel."
