"Growing Up Again" Author: Mao Lengdeng Publisher: Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House

Introduction
This is a collection of novels that tells the stories of ten miserable adults and their miserable pasts. Do you use your childhood to heal your whole life, or do you use your whole life to heal your childhood? If you have the chance to go back to your childhood, what would you do?
A retired kindergarten principal founded an "adult kindergarten" specifically for adults. There are all kinds of students with psychological problems in the kindergarten, as well as "children" who cannot adapt to the adult world: a young mother with a three-year-old child, a geek in his twenties, an office worker in his thirties who was suddenly laid off, and even a 65-year-old retired grandfather... In this special kindergarten, everyone finds their childhood self again, faces their inner trauma, and lives their true self again.
Of course, the pain in our hearts does not all come from our childhood, nor does it all come from our parents or someone else, but there must be a reason. Those pains that are difficult to talk about are never shameful.
These pains that are gradually being seen are like the scars we got when we fell down as children, or the arthritis we got when we didn't wear long underwear when we were young. They are real diseases, not shameful. Don't be anxious or depressed. There are many ways to treat yourself. When you start to understand yourself, you are already the best version of yourself.
