Why did the international master Lin Yutang persuade his daughter not to go to college?

The reason why I persuaded my daughter not to go to college is because Lin Yutang thinks:Society is the best school, after all, what you learn in school is only some theoretical knowledge, which can be taught by yourself, and what you see and hear when you go out of school is the most important.

Speaking of Lin Yutang, we should think of the smash hit "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds", this TV series is adapted from Mr. Lin Yutang's long editor**, which is highly sought after by the public. In fact, Mr. Lin Yutang's family used to be very poor, and his relationship was rough, and he finally met Liao Cuifeng, who really understood himself. The two resolutely walked together despite the hierarchical discrimination at the time, and when they got married, Lin Yutang directly burned the marriage certificate, he believed that they would be together forever, and the truth was as he said.

Liao Cuiping gave birth to three daughters for Lin Yutang, the eldest daughter Lin Rusi, the second daughter Lin Taiyi, and the third daughter Lin Xiangru. Although the feudal ideology of "patriarchy" in society at that time was more serious,But Lin Yutang didn't think so, he always encouraged his daughters to live freely, so he took them to participate in various activities and gatherings, and even went to the flower building to find a wine girl, and went to some entertainment venues to "go crazy", it can be said that life is very exciting, but Liao Cuiping didn't say anything.

Of course, in addition to these, Lin Yutang also personally imparted knowledge to his daughters, and talked to them about ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and talked about everything, which can be said to be the envy of many of us modern people.

He told his daughters that they didn't have to go to college, because society was the best classroom。With such a special education at that time, his daughters were indeed very good. The eldest daughter published articles in "West Wind" at the age of seven, and then published a lot of articles one after another, but her fate was not good, and later she died of depression due to a poor marriage.

The second daughter Lin Taiyi, this daughter can be said to have completely inherited the essence of Lin Yutang, has written a lot of biographies and **, the writing and style are very similar to Lin Yutang, and is deeply liked by many readers. The third daughter, Lin Xiangru, became a scientist, graduated from Columbia, studied for a PhD at Harvard, and then became the head of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Hong Kong.

Lin Yutang's three daughters can be so good, I think it must be inextricably linked with his education method, and now many of our parents are worried about their children all day long, in fact, it is better to have more real companionship, so that they can integrate into society and accept themselves.

He clearly knows that stepping into the university is equivalent to half of the society, so what he learns in the university is not as good as what he sees and hears in the society.

I think it's because he is a person with more advanced thinking, and he said that what he learns in school is not as valuable as what he learns outside and in society.

Because Lin Yutang, as a master of Chinese studies, is not good at science, his daughter has received his education in Chinese studies since she was a child, and she does not take the science route, so there is no need to study in college.

Lin Yutang, an international master, once advised his daughter not to go to college, because he believed that a woman was virtuous if she was not talented, and it would be difficult for her daughter to marry if she went to college.
