reaction to a book

"When I saw the title of this book," Getting On ", I immediately thought of Chinese parents, because there is an idiom in China: Watching Your Children Become Jackets. This idiom has some great similarities with the title of this book, both expressing the parents' desire for their children to get to the top.". In the book, Lawrence repeatedly mentions his mother. He values her evaluation of him very much, because her mother has a high status in his heart. Her mother is also different from ordinary people. She comes from the city and has a different vision. She hopes that Lawrence will rise to prominence and succeed, rather than living by writing.
