Zhou, Zuoren. Alisi man you qi jing ji [ID D32104].
" As for the children themselves, since they need in deed this fancy work when their imagination is to be developed, it's beyond the right of us adults to deprive them of this need, no matter in what holy name, such as God, emperor or country, just as we mustn't deprive them of clothing and food."
Hu Rong : What Zhou requested from the adults was the respect for the psychological needs of children as vital as their physical needs. He argued that love for fantasy and daydream was in children's nature, and it would be the worst policy for adults to suppress this nature with their moralism or impose all the arbitrary restrictions upon children, while Chinese people has long taken for granted that any idea unpractical in the little heads was harmful and should be prohibited, let alone nonsense.
