A father is flying a kite. His little son is watching him carefully.
After some time the son says, “Dad, the kite can’t go any higher because it’s being held down by the string (线).”
Hearing this, the father smiles and breaks the string. The kite goes higher and higher, but then falls to the ground. The child looks at it sadly.
The father sits next to him and says, “Son, this can be a lesson for you. In life, we might reach a higher level of success after some time. We might feel like some of the people in our life, such as our family or friends, are keeping us down when we could be flying even higher. We want to break free from these strings because we believe they’re stopping us. But actually, these are the things that keep us stable (稳定的). Without them, we might fly too high—and then come crashing (坠毁) to the ground without people to keep us safe.”
“We shouldn’t give up culture, family, friends and relationships, as they help keep us stable while we are flying high.”
