A Chinese man is being scolded by the Internet for forcing his 4-year-old son to work out half-naked on the snowy streets of New York City last month. He Liesheng, who has been dubbed "Eagle Dad" because his tough child-rearing techniques remind some of an eagle shoving its young out of the nest, says he made his son exercise in the snow to get him to develop a "masculine temperament. I believe I am helping my son in this way, to force him to challenge limitations and exceed his own expectations." Here's video of the kid crying on the street in his underwear: [video=youtube;IzaerSz9yH4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzaerSz9yH4[/video] Liesheng, a Nanjing businessman, recorded the video while on vacation in New York. He told a Chinese newspaper that his son was born prematurely with an array of medical problems, and he's tried to raise the boy to overcome his physical limitations. Liesheng reportedly dunked the child in 25-degree water just weeks after he left the incubator, and made him climb a mountain at age 2. "I also give him cold ice cream on cold winter days to train his stomach to get used to the cold," Liesheng also says. "He rarely has a cold or fever." Of course, this isn't the first time Chinese parents' tough child-rearing techniques have raised eyebrows. Last year, there was a big stir over the "Tiger Mom" parenting method, which became news after Yale University law professor and mother of two Amy Chua wrote an op-ed in the Journal stating, "The fact is that Chinese parents can do things that would seem unimaginable—even legally actionable—to Westerners. Chinese mothers can say to their daughters, 'Hey fatty—lose some weight.'" http://gothamist.com/2012/02/09/video_chinese_dad_makes_nearly-nake.php
The kid Leighsang or something look happy in the picture but in the video he is moaning to his dad (of COURSE!!!! STUPID man should get his penis chopped off). Poor boy with his issues.
Leadership of men, even when they are boys, should always be by example. If the father wasn't running around in his draws then neither should his son. Having a child born with a host of medical maladies makes it even worse to have to subject him to cruel boot camp type training. While the father may think this is good for his son, the poor child will effectively become a really emotionally fucked up human being. This is modern day New York, not ancient Sparta. I hope the Administration for Children's Services in New York gets a hold of him the next time he dares to set foot into the US.
"Been tiee"! But if you're insisting to be an optimistic person.. at least he'll be tougher than other kids assuming he doesn't pass out or anything before that shit happens.
Which is worse parent? This dad making his son run in near naked in snow or the parents of the wailing and crying children in the child beauty pageants?
after watching this clip.. I am totally wanted to slap the dad on his face.. for torturing his son like that... his son is only 4 years old!! My heart is crying >.<
Its not just the dad, the mom in the background too....freaking people.... there's stories saying its shit like this that China does to have these like super human like for olympics but thats just wrong for a one medal
