【英文参考】

It is a web drama adaptation of a suspense novel from a popular Chinese mystery fiction writer known by the pseudonym Zijin Chen. 

Zijin Chen’s parents got a divorce when he was nine. And his dad remarried and had a daughter. He says he truly understands how children growing up in a single-parent family feel. 

According to research organization Child Trends, science supports the idea that warmth and affection expressed by parents to their children results in life-long positive outcomes for those children.

Higher self-esteem, improved academic performance, better parent-child communication, and fewer psychological and behavior problems have been linked to this type of affection. 

On the other hand, children who do not have affectionate parents tend to have lower self esteem and to feel more alienated, hostile, aggressive, and anti-social.

In 2010, researchers at Duke University Medical School found that babies with very affectionate and attentive mothers grow up to be happier, more resilient, and less anxious adults. 

affectionate [əˈfekʃənət] 充满爱的

Attentive [əˈtentɪv] 体贴的

The psychologists rated the mother’s affection and attention level on a five-point scale ranging from “negative” to “extravagant.” Nearly 10 percent of the mothers showed low levels of affection, 85 percent demonstrated a normal amount of affection, and about six percent showed high levels of affection.

Then 30 years later, those same individuals were interviewed about their emotional health. 

The adults whose mothers showed “extravagant” or “caressing” affection were much less likely than the others to feel stressed and anxious. They were also less likely to report hostility and distressing social interactions.

30年后，对这些人进行了有关其情绪健康的采访。母亲表现出“过度”或“爱抚”的成年人比其他成年人感到压力和焦虑的可能性要小得多，也没有出现敌对和令人沮丧的社会互动。

The researchers involved in this study concluded that the hormone[ˈhɔːməʊn]  oxytocin  [,ɔksi'təusin, -'tɔ-] may be responsible for this effect. Oxytocin is a chemical in the brain released during times when a person feels love and connection. It has been shown to help parents bond with their children, adding a sense of trust and support between them. This bond most likely helps our brain produce and use oxytocin, causing a child to feel more positive emotions.

So the greatest gift parents can give their children is to love them. I highly agree that parents should take a responsibility test before they have kids cuz not everyone can be a “fit parent.”
