我是11班最MAN的：

黑猫与白：

My mom is like this too.

吴软钻丶：

The men are silent and the women in tears.

__小小咩小咩_咩咩：

This is why I’ve taken my mom off the blacklist [unblocked].

坏了的若遥：

I’m in tears, but I still don’t dare let my parents see…

蔺毛毛家的小书童：

How come my dad very contemptuously said to me: Us two don’t need to follow each other.

沐蒽要去种棉花：

I was teaching my mom just today. It’s just that the difficulty is a little high.

林大琛：

Yep, I recently got a new mobile phone for my dad and taught him how to use Weixin [aka WeChat] and Weibo. Seeing my dad and mom on one hand laughing at the other about how they’ve spent half the day learning but still haven’t learned, and on the other hand teaching and learning from each other, has really stirred up some things in my heart.

嘉嘉鸵鸟座：

When blaming our parents for not understanding us, actually it’s also because we’re stingy with sharing our lives with them.

闷豆panda：

I think this is also not right. Some things on Weibo will cause our parents to worry, so filtering out some of the things that makes us sad and not telling them is also a sort of being responsible.

咱们不理这个美男子：

Alright then, I’ll take my mom off the blacklist [unblock].

張君雅V：

My mom is also a person who asks me for photos everyday and then prints them out to make a photo album for me.

冬喜夏悠：

Move home to live with your parents, or bring your parents to you, so everyone can see each other in person everyday [instead].

Mar_佳爷：

Yeah, for example, just now, as someone who has never takes a photo with her, I asked her to come take a photo with me, and she even spent a long time in front of the mirror. I felt so sad, and after taking the photo, she even said to wait until my dad comes home so the three of us can take a picture together. I suddenly though, I don’t think I actually have a single photo of me with my parents, not a single one.

2晨晨晨-：

I’m always cussing, so I’m afraid my mom won’t be able to handle it.

碧甜_快到碗里来：

although I wouldn’t want my mom to print out my photos to place them or hang them on the wall. Family is always the most valuable wealth one can have, no matter how far you are.

吴小郭:

I’ve just been reminded of something. Last summer, I suddenly thought of seeing what my dad’s QQ [instant messaging service] screen name is, only to discover that it was simply called “dad”. I laughed for half the day, but also suddenly realize that for us, in our QQs, we have friends, coworkers, partners, family, but for my dad, his QQ only has one use and identity, which is “dad”!!!

后期艿芽：

My mom and I often video chat as well as play together and PK [compete] in 天天酷跑 [a QQ/Weixin mobile game]. When I take a selfie, I’ll send it to my mom to see. Everyday we call to gossip. My mom even uses Weixin whereas I still don’t even have it. ←_←

闫太lau：

Fuck, suddenly I want to cry.

yorce川：

I love you, mom.

疾走岚岚：

Fuck, I actually cried reading this.

风卷残荷888：

Recently I too have been teaching my mom how to use Weixin. She asked me how to send/post stuff and two days after giving her instructions, she was frequently posting to her friends circle… Usually, this kind of people who “disturb” their friends circle with such high density/frequency postings, I will decisively blacklist [block], but this time I didn’t. Time flows between people of two generations, and as we have become adults, they have become children. Sometimes we cannot understand their interests, only because they have gotten old. Just like when they taught us how to play with toys when we were small, now it is our turn.
