Father beats daughter to death for copying homework in China
Quote:
A Chinese father has beaten his only child 11-year-old daughter to death for copying her homework.
Police in Hangzhou, a metropolis in the eastern Zhejiang province, said the man, identified as Zhang, went berserk after he found out the girl had cheated numerous times at school, copying her home assignments from a classmate.
He tied her hands, ordered her to kneel down and started beating her up, Xhinua state news agency reported.
As the girl stopped breathing, he took her to a local hospital where she died a few hours later.
According to the Xiandai Jinbao newspaper, apart from widespread bruises and injuries on the girl's back and neck, doctors also found signs she had been strangled for up to five minutes.
Corporal punishment as an educational method is still widely used by parents and teachers in China, particularly
in the rural south.
Children also face huge parental pressure over their school results, as competition is fierce in the country of 1.3 billion people.
Chinese parents often put heavy pressure on their children over their schooling, and a study last week blamed the country's exam-driven education system -- where progress depends on key tests -- for the vast majority of pupil suicides.
In January last year, a student in Inner Mongolia jumped from the top of a building after learning that his test scores had dropped, the China Daily said.
A 13-year-old boy in Jiangsu province recently hanged himself because he was not able to complete his homework, the China Daily reported.
They are obsessed with education it's like unhealthy
Well for some, that's their only escape. Education allows you to enter significantly well-paid positions that would otherwise not be an option to one. I abhor his actions but i can see what provoked him to do so.

Very sad, regardless. Poor child.
So being dead is better than having a low-paid job for them?

Girl do NOT try to blame this horrendous event on the "attitude of Asian people" omg this man was clearly disturbed/had hate in his heart. You cannot blame an ideology or entire group of people for murder. That blame belongs to the person who committed the crime and no one else
