A lesson in love

Today's parents are facing more stress and a greater workload as they try to manage their families, Lu says, and he believes sometimes parents bring their anxiety home, escalating the tension.

"I once tried to listen carefully late at night to the neighbors. Sadly, it's often shouting and scolding that I hear, with most arguments concerning school homework. Most parents are calm and collected white-collar office workers during the day, but will sometimes change into different people at night," Lu says sadly.

The TV series has proved so popular that, since April 24, CCTV started airing it on its main channel, CCTV-1.

"I hope audiences will recognize that the ridiculous situation cannot be endured for a long time and that some of these education methods go against the natural rules," says Lu.

"A Love for Dilemma's story ends on a warm and comforting note. I hope it will help parents find the essence of education and take time to let their children grow up."
