After receiving his son's mathematics results, a man in Henan, China, burst into tears — though not in a good way.
A 12-second video of this man surfaced online last Thursday (June 23) on Weibo, where he can be seen sobbing away while pacing around a room.
He then wipes off his tears with his sleeve, and grabs a towel off the bed to stop more tears from flowing.
It seems that this man found out that his son — whom he had been painstakingly tutoring every night for a year — had scored a measly six out of 100 for his mathematics exam.
According to the boy's mother, he would usually score either 40 to 50, or even 80 to 90 for his tests. Hence, the boy's mediocre results were a rather big blow to the man, who probably felt his efforts backfired.
Netizens sympathised with the man in the comments, saying that they understood how the man felt.
On the flip side, some also felt that it might have been the man's mistake instead of his son's, that everything he taught his son was wrong.
Last October, another Chinese man also experienced a mental breakdown because of his daughter's ineptitude for mathematics.
The man, who resides in Jiangsu, laid down in the middle of the road and begged police to detain him, as he did not want to return home after his daughter failed to solve a simple equation.
"My daughter subtracted 700 from 800. She said the result is 900," he told a police officer.
“This poor guy just has to understand that his son is not now and never will be a mathematician and direct his son into some other line of work.”
Back in the 80’s I knew a grad student from red China. Around the time of Tianmen Square. She told me that in China students who don’t score high on tests are destined to do menial farm work. China has more factories today, but either way I’ll bet the son is looking forward to a lifetime of slave labor.
Maybe he’ll move here and win a sit in the House of Representative as the next Democrat.
I’m sure that’s why he was really upset.
I wouldn’t like to see Claudia Tan’s score on an English test. “Laid”?
😂😂😂😂
He must have been teaching Common Core.
He should have tried Saxon Math.
I understand. Kid wanted to humiliate father. Can’t fix stupid, it’s genetic sometimes, or environment, still can’t fix it from the outside.
Maybe Biden will appoint him as Treasury Secretary.
According to the boy’s mother, he would usually score either 40 to 50, or even 80 to 90 for his tests.
“My daughter subtracted 700 from 800. She said the result is 900,” he told a police officer.

If the answer is not 900, then just what the heck is it? Don’t leave us hanging nickcarraway!
100.
So tell me you’re a racist prick without telling me you’re a racist prick. This next part is really important so read it carefully…screw you, you mongoloid dick head.
