In China, a video of a father having his 11-year-old daughter (11-year-old), who refused to attend school, worked for 4 hours in the scorching sun was released, causing controversy.
According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP) report on the 28th local time, a video of a girl in tears digging for her lotus root was recently released on Weibo, a Chinese social media.
In the video, the father said, "Take off your shoes and go into the water. If you don't want to go to school, you have to accept reality!" and drove her daughter into the field.
Her daughter was digging for lotus roots in the mud at her dad's words, but she cried loudly, wiping away her tears with the clothes she was wearing.
In the end, the girl worked in the fields for four hours in the scorching sun, and it is said that her skin was burnt enough to peel off.

In an interview with a local Chinese media outlet, the father who filmed the video said, "My daughter, who is going through puberty, told her homeroom teacher, 'I don't want to go to school anymore.' "He said.
After the post was shared, a dispute arose among Chinese netizens as to whether the father's decision was 'child abuse'.
There are opinions supporting the father, saying, "The father was trying to teach his daughter an important lesson in life," while other netizens said, "It is good to give the child a choice, but this choice is too harsh." It's abuse."
The South China Morning Post said many Chinese parents still believe in the saying that "spare the hawk and spoil the child," noting that overly strict discipline has been controversial in China over the past few years.
This is a 'news pick'.
