Wu Qu in Children usually means a "little adult" child — sensible from young, doesn't cry, handles their own affairs, even understands money. Such a child is easy to raise but also tugs at your heart: too hard, not good at being cute or expressing feelings, carrying everything alone. The educational focus: teach strength, but also softness.
