In 1981, I read last year of graduate students, Japanese courses class suddenly appear around a 50 year old wife. She be all seriousness, squeezed in between a group of twenty or thirty years old young people, professors read aloud, really interesting. At first I thought she just ignore time auditor, then imagine that she will always come to the exam before deciding she is to officially graduate. We called her \"Mrs Zhao.\" She is never absent, notes and is well written, so anyone who slipped her help. Until graduation, and they knew that she was the mother of Secretary Chao Ms Diana Zhu.
Secretary Chao mentioned, does not want to stress that she is Chinese in the United States Government the most senior person, you don\'t want to talk about her White House Fellow, Citibank or experience at Harvard University, but rather to let you know what Secretary Chao\'s family life. I believe that no successful family, it is difficult to have Secretary Chao\'s success today. At least, Secretary Chao today senior Foundation Washington, honor that precision, with their modest reserve and Chinese qualities, must come from her the special family education.
I use \"special\" is hardly a Word, as in the United States of Chinese families, can have a complete and strict training as her family had too little! Even in China, I believe not many.
Do you remember the beauty of the movie? Teacher blow whistle, children from large to small queues of picture, almost can also be Secretary Chao\'s home to see.
Secretary Chao\'s father, Dr James Si-Cheng Chao was hospitable, per guest, 6 daughters as long as at home, will come out and say hello. Their tea in a very respectful attitude to the guests, always with a sincere smile on his face. You can hardly believe that is particularly, when Zhao when dinner guests, the daughters are not only not on the table, and kept behind as we serve, pour your guests!
I was puzzled to ask Ms Diana Zhu, she said: \"Yes! We teach their maid to make, but that\'s not a train? ”
Also, their homes although there are Butler, children still must wash his clothes, cleaning the House. Adults of the reason is simple: go into extravagance, from luxury to thrift is difficult. Butler was asked to help parents, instead of helping children, young men fitting their own things, not too long ago to be waited on, otherwise it is difficult to learn to stand on!
Their few sisters not only cooking their own House, is to listen to the alarm clock to get up every day, catch the bus to school, go home by sister lead automatically to study, but also to share the home of trivia.
Every morning, they went out to check for swimming pool equipment, fishing out the dirt on the water. The weekend, to finish that occupies two acres of the yard, and dandelions weeds pulled out. Secretary Chao 16 year old sister has been responsible for dealing with bills in the House, the Christmas card mailing list into the computer, and to answer the calls in the evening. Also, I told you not believe, Secretary Chao door up to 120 feet-lane asphalt surface is several sisters at his father\'s shop, under the command of their own. Secretary Chao had in my career and life, the article said: \"we did not enjoy, now wants to come, everybody works together, talk together, is able to understand the father\'s good intentions. ”
Is not it? As her mother say: home, home, this garden is a whole family, everyone has the responsibility to contribute their efforts, particularly love their homes, feel that they are a member of the family home is their own, especially in family work, more able to realize and share weal and woe, to work together, thereby creating a common identity.
You know, also damage the driveway of the home, you and Secretary Chao sisters feel different because of our driveway is not your, you sweating, feelings: a how could it?
I often emphasize family relations, Secretary Chao is the home of real practice examples. They rarely open TV after dinner, parents lead by example, do not spend too much time in front of the TV, reading with mothers with children, fathers dealing with unfinished business.
On Sunday, they must have the whole family to go to church, snack time after lunch, family meeting is held once a week, we talk, each child speaks his own new ideas, harvest, make plans and consult the views of the parents. So when we surprised when Zhao Jia Sisters of discipline and obedience, to know that it\'s the consensus obtained through parent-child communication between. When they do things for the home, not at parents command himself, but has a sense. Home is a co-prosperity sphere, each Member so the centripetal force will naturally thrive.
In 1962, Ms Diana Zhu with Secretary Chao, aged 8, and two sisters from Taiwan reunited with James Si-Cheng Chao set sail for New York, settled down in a Queens apartment room. Family in the United States early experiences are quite difficult, father beat 3 workers, mothers often worry about livelihoods. Secretary Chao started third grade, not an English word, every day she
Copy all the content on the Blackboard, night, hard working father of the day to put all content translated into Chinese, let her know of course content, let her not to confuse b and d, do not confuse p and q.
Hard work today, Zhao has had 4 daughters graduated from the prestigious Institute, Mr James Si-Cheng Chao became the shipping to the financial industry celebrities, even the Secretary Chao\'s mother is a 2-year full attendance record had master\'s degree.
But did you know? Zhao family although wealthy, most of the children into public high school, outside of spending or small, have to carry receipts home reimbursement. Secretary Chao College loans to the Government when, by summer vacation to work or money. This does not mean that her parents are mean, but because they require child independent, responsible, when using money in place.
Secretary Chao to playing golf, horse riding, ice skating, more play good music. Parents on their children, said: \"we are thrifty, but you want to learn things, not provinces. Just as said to learn, have a responsibility to learn! ”
They arranged twice a year the whole family travel from select locations, hotel booking, and the dinner at restaurant, full responsibility of the child, parents rarely intervene. That being said, this trip, not an organization, Division of training?
So I said: Secretary Chao sisters success, have a close relationship with their family. Even President Bush met at the White House of the year when Mr James Si-Cheng Chao a, emphasized this point in particular, said to his wife Barbara, Secretary Chao\'s parents should learn how to control a child!
How to pipe? The answer is: traditional Chinese filial loyalty and methods of organization management in Western society, both individual and independent personalities, more that everyone involved in their families, have a common identity through communication, reaching desired objectives.
In 1988, father\'s day, Secretary Chao has put aside the busy work, back home in New York from Washington, as Dr James Si-Cheng Chao holiday. May I ask, in China there are a few children, equal positions in the field, to get back home on father\'s day, to send you a gift and sincere blessing?
