"Many fathers really do not know how to guide their children," says Wang Chung-kwei, a professor of psychology at Soochow University. Wang points out that fathers 'roles were very clear in the past: they worked hard to make money, and beat the children if their grades were poor. Behind this strict and severe way of childrearing, however, was a very clear desire to see children succeed.
「很多父親真的不知道要怎樣去引導自己的孩子，會有恐懼感，有很大的壓力，」東吳大學心理系教授王叢桂指出，過去父親角色很清楚，只需要賣力的賺錢，孩子功課不好，就狠狠地打，這種勤管嚴教的背後，望子成龍的用意顯而易見。
