Dear Readers, 


    Parents & Kids joined hands with Shanghai Family this spring to share the same WeChat official account. 


Since April 2024, we have published bilingual personal stories written by parents and kids about life and parenting every Thursday. 


    Life can be arduous, but our stories and experiences bind us in our humanity and make us feel less lonely in our struggles.


Today, the last Thursday of the year, I want to share Parents & Kids' top ten most-read articles and give an insight into what authors think while writing them. 


Click each photo to read their articles. 



The most popular article in 2024: 


1. Leaving Shanghai 告别


Writing this article was my thank you and love letter to the city of Shanghai and everyone who helped make it home for 15 years. I wanted it to feel personal between the city and myself, like saying goodbye to an old friend with inside jokes and experiences only we shared."

2.  My Singapore in Shanghai 我在上海的新加坡印记‍‍


"I was surprised by the popularity of this post, as I didn't expect our readers to take such an interest in Singapore! While listing the fun facts about Singapore, I tried hard not to sound like I was bragging about my country, and I had to let my teenagers vet them since teens serve you the truth straight up."

3.  Shanghai – Expats’ gaze 外国人眼中的上海‍‍


"Getting expats to contribute their favourite part of being in Shanghai was a last-minute idea—just six days before publishing! The original idea was to write my favourites about Shanghai, but it suddenly struck me that more heads are better than one. I thank everyone who helped connect and contributed to this article!"

4.  Parents & Kids WeChat Account Closing 1 July 微信公众号将于7月1日合并 


“Before Parents & Kids shared the same WeChat official account with Shanghai Family, we had our own, and I managed it for 17 months. It was where I ventured from being an author to hosting lifestyle videos. I learned and grew a lot. Looking back, my experience then was incubating for what I am doing now."

5.  Diving into Life after Cancer 投入癌症过后的生活


“I had the idea to write about life after cancer while I was bedridden. The bucket lists came up and back into the blue is one of them. While cancer can evoke constant depression, my journey revealed the strength and the power of positive craziness. By sharing my story, I hope to inspire others facing similar paths and remind them that cancer is not the end of life.”

6.  Breathing the Same Air as Lewis Hamilton 与刘易斯·汉密尔顿呼吸同一片空气

‍‍


"When I was tasked to write about my experience meeting Lewis Hamilton, I wanted to be honest about not knowing F1 racing rather than pretending to be. Me dozing off at the F1 race with my husband so many years ago was a story he often told, and I thought it would be hilarious to include that!"

7.  Goodnight Santa 晚安,圣诞老人‍‍


"I loved having the opportunity to write this article while enjoying the holidays in Shanghai and reflecting on our time there. Every year, we count an additional year of living in Shanghai, and we feel truly blessed. We couldn't imagine living elsewhere, and this article was a tribute to our love affair with the city."

8.  This Crazy Thing called Ageing 衰老这件疯狂的事‍‍


"I was raised by strong women who aged naturally and proudly wore their wrinkles. However, middle age is tricky when you're not that young, and neither are you that old. I call it the stage of denial. This topic is close to my heart as it impacts my daughter and her daughter in future. I hope to encourage women to embrace natural ageing as part of life."

9.  Marriage 婚姻


"My husband, an introvert, does not like attention. When I decided to write our story of how we met, I sought his permission first, and to my surprise, he okayed it. After writing my first draft, I showed him again and was prepared not to publish it if he felt uncomfortable. He loved it and even laughed at the memories."

10.  My grandmother “Ah Ma” 我的外婆“阿嬷”


"I had planned to write this article shortly after my grandmother's passing, but it took me a year to finally write it. During the writing process, I sobbed so much that I only managed to finish after three days of hibernating in my closet. Publishing this article felt very healing for me as readers shared with me their grief of losing their grandmother, too."

亲爱的读者们,


今年春天,Parents & Kids 与 Shanghai Family 正式开启携手共进之程,共用同一个微信公众号平台。 

自2024年4月起,每周四我们都会发布由家长或孩子们撰写的关于育儿及生活的双语个人故事。 

生活或许艰辛,但我们的真实故事和宝贵经历在人性层面将我们彼此相连,让我们在奋斗的过程中少了些孤独感。 

时光匆匆,今天正值本年度的最后一个周四,我想分享 Parents & Kids 阅读量最高的十篇文章,并深入了解一下作者们在撰写这些文章时的所思所想。 

点击每张照片即可阅读相应文章。


2024最受欢迎的文章: 

1. Leaving Shanghai 告别

“撰写这篇文章,是我写给上海这座城市以及所有在过去15年里帮助我在此安家的人们的一封感谢信和情书。我希望它能让这座城市与我之间有一种专属的情感联结,这就像是在跟一位老朋友告别,有着只有我们才懂的玩笑和经历,这些都将珍藏在我的心底。”

2.  My Singapore in Shanghai 我在上海的新加坡印记

“这篇帖子的受欢迎程度,着实让我吃了一惊,因为我没想到我们的读者会对新加坡如此感兴趣!在列举有关新加坡那些饶有趣味的事实时,我努力避免这看起来像是在吹嘘自己的国家,生怕一不小心给人一种自吹自擂的感觉。我还特意让我的孩子们读一读,因为孩子们会直言不讳地告诉你真相。”

3.  Shanghai – Expats’ gaze 外国人眼中的上海

“邀请外籍人士分享他们在上海生活的最爱,这个点子是一个临时起意的想法——确切地说,是在发布前仅六天想到的!原本的想法是由我自己来写一写最喜欢上海的哪些方面,然而我突然想到人多智广这个道理,便有了这次的尝试。在此,我要衷心感谢每一位帮忙牵线搭桥以及每一位用心撰稿的朋友!”

4.  Parents & Kids WeChat Account Closing 1 July 微信公众号将于7月1日合并 

“在 Parents & Kids 与 Shanghai Family 共用同一个微信公众号之前,Parents & Kids 拥有自己独立的公众号,而且我运营了17个月。在这个平台上面,我迈出了从单纯的作者向主持生活方式类视频转变的步伐。我学到了很多,也成长了许多。回首往昔,我当时的那段经历为我现在所做之事奠定了基础,给予了我源源不断的动力。”

5.  Diving into Life after Cancer 投入癌症过后的生活

“当我卧病在床时,我萌生了撰写有关患癌后生活的想法。曾经那些未完成的心愿逐渐汇聚成一份遗愿清单,而再次拥抱大海,成为了清单中的一项。虽然癌症可能会不断引发抑郁情绪,但回顾我的抗癌之路,积极向上的力量始终熠熠生辉。通过分享我的故事,我希望能激励那些正面临类似困境的人们,让他们知道癌症或许是一场艰难的考验,但绝不是生命的终点。”

6.  Breathing the Same Air as Lewis Hamilton 与刘易斯·汉密尔顿呼吸同一片空气

“当我接到要撰写自己与刘易斯·汉密尔顿会面经历的任务时,我想诚实地承认自己并不了解一级方程式赛车,我也不想佯装了解。犹记得多年前,我和丈夫在一级方程式赛车比赛现场观看,而我却在一片热烈的氛围中打起了瞌睡。这件事后来成为了他口中时常提及的笑谈,我觉得把这段略带尴尬却又充满生活气息的小插曲写下来会很有意思!”

7.  Goodnight Santa 晚安,圣诞老人

"我很高兴能有机会在上海享受假期的同时撰写这篇文章,一边回顾我们在这座城市度过的时光。每过一年,我们在上海生活的年头就又增加一年,我们由衷地感到无比幸运。我们无法想象在别的地方生活是什么样子,而这篇文章就是我们对这座城市热爱之情的献礼。”

8.  This Crazy Thing called Ageing 衰老这件疯狂的事

“坚强的女性将我抚养长大。作为女性,她们顺其自然地老去,并将脸上的皱纹视作自身的骄傲。然而,人到中年,这时已不再意气风发,但却也还没到老态龙钟的程度,这一阶段十分复杂。我把这一阶段称作“否认阶段”。这个话题于我而言十分切身,因为它会影响到我的女儿以及她未来的女儿。我希望能鼓励女性把自然衰老当作生活的一部分,并欣然地去接受它。”

9.  Marriage 婚姻

“我的丈夫是个内向的人,不喜欢受人关注。当我决定写下我们相识的故事时,我首先征得了他的意见,令我惊讶的是,他同意了。在写完初稿后,我又拿给他看了,并且做好了如果他觉得不舒服就不发表的准备。结果他很喜欢,甚至还因那些回忆笑了起来。”

10.  My grandmother “Ah Ma” 我的外婆“阿嬷”

“我原本计划在祖母去世后不久就写这篇文章的,但最终花了一年时间才把它写出来。在写作过程中,忆起往日与阿嬷相处的点点滴滴让我哭得很厉害,躲在衣柜里“闭关”了三天才总算写完。发表这篇文章对我来说是一种很好的治愈方式,因为读者们也和我分享了他们失去祖母时的悲痛之情。”
