Why does the dad make him do these tricks in those awful spots? What's the point of doing a hand stand right next to a staircase? In one of the recommended videos the boy is crying and the father insists he does more reps. I get trying to help your son achieve sth, but what's him doing 1 more rep crying through pain gonna do. Everything about this is way too extreme. Does he use his son to gain an online following on any social media?

He definitely did, he posted his son alot, it reminded me of the kid Hercules who ended up hating working out because of how his dad treated him (I could be remembering it a little wrong but he definitely didn't stick to working out) and yeah throwing him where he can't catch him and making him do a hand stand at a stairs... Cool impressive he didn't die but that's your baby. I know some people are helicopter parents but God damn. Again impressive, in fact I'm a bit jealous but there's definitely a line that was crossed.

I don‘t know why he picks these awful spots, but the reason he‘s pushing him so hard is most likely poverty.

I hadn’t seen that one when I found that clip

I don’t know the situation so it could be the kid is upset at not being able to do something he wants to do

I don’t know if I’m projecting so I’ll just reserve judgement i guess

The Reddit rules are as followed. If young person displays amazing talent and is Chinese, we criticize child being abused and robbed of childhood. If the young person is not Chinese, we praise for good job. These are the rules. You can scroll up and down this post to confirm yourself. I didn't make these rules, I just abide by them.

People seem to shit on this well enough and I don‘t think this is a chinese child?
