Family Problems

Adapted from the novel of the same name by Hu Wanchun. Master Du, the section leader of a certain steel plant, has two sons: the eldest son Fuxin is a fitter and works in the same workshop as Master Du; the younger son Fumin has just graduated from a technical school and is about to start work. But that night, Master Du discovered that Fumin had incorrect views on labor and pursued enjoyment of life. Fumin looked down on the workers, saying that the workers' hands were like files. When he saw the new hat his father gave him, he thought it was too tacky and was afraid it would crush the nose of his plane. Master Du realized that he had taken too much care of Fumin's life in the past and relaxed his ideological education. It happened that Fumin was assigned to be a trainee technician in the workshop led by Master Du. In order to help his son overcome his shortcomings and train his son to become a successor to the working class, Master Du discussed with Factory Director Li and decided to let Fumin work as a worker in the workshop so that he could train and improve in labor. On this day, Fu Min came to the workshop, and Master Du asked Fu Xin to teach him how to bang a hammer and practice basic skills. Fumin was absent-minded, and his hand hurt when he hit it. He slammed the hammer to the ground and quit. Master Du asked him to pick up the hammer and said reproachfully: "You are still ashamed! When a worker throws a hammer, a soldier throws away his weapon. You want to be a deserter!" Fumin returned home and confided his grievances to his mother. Fumin’s mother has lived in the old society for half her life
