I mentioned my cousin’s son in my last post. My aunt on my father’s side has five sons, no daughter. This cousin is her fifth son. I think this cousin’s son is excellent. He was born in 1994, and is the only college student among all the grandsons of my aunt. I met him a couple times. He is handsome and a gentleman. I have always attached great importance to education, and I hope that the next generation of my family can study hard, but seldom of them goes following my wishes.

You could use fifth son but if she has five sons and he is the fifth, he is the youngest and it would be more normal to describe him as such.

possessive 'my' would be better than 'this'. 'great', or 'fantastic', or 'amazing'. 'Excellent' used this way is more slang than regular usage.

'will' as you want them to do it. 'can' is have the ability to. 'seldom' is an adverb of frequency. It is not used for small numbers of people / objects so 'seldom of them' does not make sense. 'goes following' is not correct English, simple present is best here as it is a general wish not specific to a particular time.
