You said: "Your opinion is that he can do everything with his talent, he does not need to know anything. This is your opinion."
I think this is my main disagreement with you. Even when I agree with you that education is needed, you put words into my mouth. I'll end this now since you keep doing this.

I think you're trying very hard to find realism in a work of fiction, where you sometimes have to suspend your disbelief.
And I did not contradict myself. I said *not everything* had to be taught in a classroom, because that's true. Even when I started my business, I studied Mathematics in university, nothing about entrepreneurship. There's a such a thing about being self-taught, which Duan Wu did a lot of of. And I'm certainly not denying education. If not for her mother's educating her, Duan Wu would be very lacking in her basic education or even in her thirst for education.
And I think you're putting words into my mouth when you say "don't try to convince anyone that every person changes the world with their innate talents" because I made NO such claim. Their innate talents give them the advantage to learn more quickly, with less effort. For instance, my younger kid at age 4 was able to pick up puzzles meant for 8yo and solve them quickly without any prior instructions (20 minutes for something that would take me an hour - I consider myself good at puzzles). His visual-spatial skills have always been excellent. In his teens, his record for solving the Rubik's cube was 12.6 seconds.
You said: "Every person definitely needs to develop, improve themselves, and learn new things. If this doesn't happen, they will become dull. The condition for this is EDUCATION." And I agree, but this doesn't necessarily happen in a classroom. Living is part of our education, too, just as Duan Wu's early attempts educated her when she made all those mistakes. She learned about not trusting the wrong person in business. I learned this the hard way too. And Yan further educates Duan Wu. He just wasn't easy on her on the way he did it. He allowed her to make a lot of mistakes.

You said: "is it normal for a slave personality to be so skillful? This is debatable. However, it is indisputable that he knows everything and understands the outside world. Because he has not seen or lived. How can he make judgments? How can he express his opinions, act like an expert? These things did not happen."
Being a slave was her status since she was stolen and sold to the pearl farm as a child. It's not her personality. From raising children, I have found that they are born with their own personality, which can include their interests, values, drives, abilities, self-concept, and emotional patterns. Some of these are likely inherited from parents. From what little we know of Duan Wu's parents, her mother was a strong, resilient woman who was skilled in accounting and who taught her how to read, write and had her help in accounting for the pearl farm. Her father was a highly skilled artist, which would make him very creative artistically. We see Duan Wu's creativity when she designs hair pins for the trading convoy. Her father didn't have to train her, because this creativity already existed inside her and just needed an outlet for her to act on it. Her mother was the primary maid for the Yan matriarch, a position that supervises other maids in the household. I'm not surprised that Duan Wu turned out to be a smart person.
When Duan Wu was a pearl hostess, there was a flashback shown where she watched a dancer. When she was with the group of other hostesses, she was not doing well, because she didn't know the dance and she was always one step behind. However, once she took over the dance, she was imitating someone she had already seen. There were no wrong steps since she made the dance her own.
She's also the type of person who continuously wants to better herself, including selling jewelry "waste" to herbal shops. And she made plenty of mistakes along the way for which she was severely punished. As much as I disliked Yan during those episodes, I could see that he was helping her in his own "tough love" way.
Even during her pearl diver slave days, she was one of the best divers, who the other divers were ganging up against. She was methodical in choosing her clam and a way to prevent injury to herself. When she got the largest pearl, it was 3 or 4 men ganging up against her underwater. They wanted to leave her there and let her die. That's borne out of their jealousy.
Not everything we do have to be taught to us in a classroom setting. Two years after graduating from university and only two years in a field I was new in, I decided to start a consulting business in that field, plus sit for my License in an adjacent field. I passed all the necessary Certifications with flying colors. Later, I found out one uncle, an aunt and my mother were in the fields I had chosen. "It runs in my blood" was true in my case, and I had my business for 29 years before I retired early.
Okay, here's my review to High School Frenemy episode 8: I'll get through the main drama of today's episode first.…
>Saint's eyes hold so much love for Shin 😭 (also, was that low-key jealousy that I saw on Shin's face when Saint was giving his attention to Peeta? 👀 Idk idk man 😭)
Yeah, so obvious. I saw that and kept hoping they made this into a slow burn BL because their chemistry is on fire and has been since episode 1.
Might have something to do with China's 1,419,321,278 population. Chinese arms dealer in a foreign country likely…
Look, I was just guessing. I don't know whether Wen Xi is equivalent to Jane Smith. I'm guessing Wen Hao contracted with him to find her sister and I don't know the payment scheme they used. You're right, he didn't use all his resources to find her. At the very least, he would have found Wen Hao.
Biggest plot hole in the whole story i think, is how he can locate this kidnapped girl in an underground fight…
Might have something to do with China's 1,419,321,278 population. Chinese arms dealer in a foreign country likely was infamous since they "advertise" their fights somewhere.
What does this mean?
