A father from China definitely went over the top with his strategy for how to effectively tutor a child.

　　如何管教孩子是一门学问，但这位父亲的管教方法却颇为过火。

　　The merciless father from Meishan in Sichuan province came under attack after a video of him dangling his son over a river went viral. Many people would assume that the 7-year-old boy was being punished for bad behavior. However, the father was apparently trying to force the boy to practice his math skills and do his homework.

　　上述这位无比严厉的父亲来自四川眉山，最近一则关于他将孩子吊在河边的视频在网络上广为流传，使其备受网友谴责。许多网友见此都以为这个年仅7岁的孩子是因为调皮捣乱才受到家长惩罚。事实上，这位父亲的目的只为了逼孩子去做算术题。

　　In the video footage captured by an onlooker, the boy can be seen tied up while his father lowered him in the river using a rope. The man continued to ask his son math questions while ignoring his son’s plea.

　　据围观群众拍摄的视频中显示，父亲将孩子捆绑起来并用绳子吊在河边。无视孩子的哀求，该父亲一直不停地提问孩子各种算术问题。

　　“I beg you, father! I beg you!” the boy was heard saying.

　　“爸爸，求你了，求你了。”孩子大声地哭喊着。

　　According to Shanghaiist, many people stopped by and tried to see what the commotion was about but no one stepped in to stop what was happening. Some can even be heard laughing in the background.

　　据“上海人网站”报道，很多围观群众驻足观看，并想努力了解现场情况，但是并没有人站出来制止这一切。有些群众甚至笑出了声。

　　Many netizens expressed their concerns, saying that the boy will most likely suffer from trauma and will never learn math because of his father’s harsh treatment.

　　许多网友对此教育方式持担忧态度，表示孩子很可能由于家长过于严苛的教育方式产生心理阴影，从此再也不愿意学数学。

　　“One day, this child will grow up and do the same thing to his child,” said one user.

　　一位网友表示：“等这孩子长大之后，很可能也会这样对待他自己的孩子。”

　　Hopefully, this will not be the case when he grows up and become a dad as well.

　　希望待他长大为人父母之后，不要采取同样的教育方式。
