WATCH: 🤖 A schoolgirl pleads for her dad to give her a break, telling him that she needs “work-life balance” and that “even a robot” can’t handle the amount of work her father demands.

CHINA — A video of a primary school student in Tianjin, China pleading with her father to give her more play time has gone viral on Chinese social media.

"I know," Ting Ting retorts,"but whatever you are asking of me, even a robot couldn't do it. Even if I grew eight hands, I couldn't get any busier!" One commented: “Her logic is sound and points are clear; she said what many adults can’t even think of... She has a knack for debate and a natural gift to be a lawyer.”One Douyin user said: “She has a point, got schooled, they should reflect and change.”HOMEWORK PRESSURES IN CHINA

A video of a 12-year-old boy in China went viral recently after he broke down while teaching his younger sister mathematics.

Children must have the freedom to explore, imagine, build, disassemble, and reassemble objects. Boundaries are necessary for this freedom, of course, but establishing them in the context of a setting that promotes discovery is far more crucial.

I hope her message will reach all the parents who look to the future too much, but forget to teach their kids to cherish the present. I really feel sad for her.

aprilinportugal Heartbreaking.

NinyaKamil Wow brave smart girl

This video makes me angry and sad. Some people should not be parents..

I find it quite disturbing that the father is recording his daughter when she's clear distraught!!!! All he had to do was give her hug, an apology and let her play. He must be a tough parent because the schoolgirl feels the need to PLEAD for playtime. Which is crazy. Oh no !

She's gonna be fighter 🚀🔥

该死

Every asian parents be like: 🗿🗿🗿

Am doing business trips in Turkey Morocco, where ever I went there's full of tourists from Europe like Germany France UK ETC. That's the difference of West and Asia, am working while westerners having holidays...The living pressure is much higher in China compared to West,

the fact that he recorded and sent it to a news place like she isn't ever gonna forget and forgive this

i dont understand why parents see their children in pain like this and still think they’re doing the right thing

For added context.

Emotional damage

sad😢

This is some movie 'Orphan ' shit !

She looks so stressed :( poor baby

angel sounds like a complete adult - her vocabulary is fabulous, she is so overworked.

Please let children play. She is even thinking more than that adult who is teaching her. Glad he or she chose to show it to the world. I believe it was touching to them and they have started treasuring the girl's childhood.

asian parents this asian parents that..hey,not all asian parents like that..be specific: eastern asian parents

A REST TIME ! She just need a rest time . I dont blame her dad because every parent must wanna a really good result from their child . Udah la penat aku nak komen bahasa mat saleh . Cuma jangan keterlaluan . Takut nanti tekanan emosi

karinaaind inimah kamu x aku banget karinaaind

Poor thing this is heartbreaking .. some parents tend to forget that their kids aren’t their manifestation board at a such young age where they’re supposed to be enjoying their childhood , not becoming victims to high-pressure educational systems

SizweDhlomo It’s the robot and octopus that killed me🤣🤣 but I feel her pain. The bars are just too high

❤️

The bags under that kid’s eyes good grief

Booo hoo. I'm tired

This is appalling. Who would arrange for their distressed child to be filmed like this ?

u did the right thing girl, or else u will turn like this kakak over here hafizahhnordin hshshshshsgsh

不懂不要亂翻譯

kereeeen

Kadang2 parent ni rasa dah buat terbaik untuk anak2 tapi sebenarnya dia seksa perasaan anak dia sendiri. Terlalu inginkan yg terbaik jadi mcm ni lah... bila anak bersuara kata kurang ajar 🥱

Cutieeeeee

Well well, if she's crying that hard that means she has been bottled it up inside for a long time. I hope dad will always listen to her daughter's complains. She just need balance between study and fun so she wont be so stressed.

Watching how she argued, dam girl, that's how crazy you've raised ! I cant imagine how hard studying in China, a kid like her could deliver such opinions. I hope she can get break and enjoy her childhood too. She could be an amazing women in the future!

The real of expolitasi anak

Sad

Sedih banget sih jadi adek nya 😥😰

Jangan sampe burnout dini, kesian malah ga mo belajar sama skali tar. Ky kakak gw masuk sekolah kemudaan, SMP dia lelah malah jd bego maksimal 🤣🤣 *kakak gw ga punya twitter, tp kk gw yg atu lg punyak akakakaka

😓😢

i want to give her a hug . the way she conveys her message is just exceptional

Lovely

Got no idea how her dad filmed this and had no heartbreak and still pushing his daughter to study whole time. He's sick.

Why is he arguing with her?!!

Give that child a break. She's going to be a great lawyer.

“how about you try it” would be the most satisfying for me to hear

Yoo...her arguments are so good for girl at her age. I'm actually amazed 😳

If the child finds no enjoyment in studying, then thats a concern....

Wowww... If i have courage to talk like this before.. Ah nvm..

she's very kind person🫶 how maturity is not about age. also her attitude!🥹

😭😭😭

Your bravery comes from your discipline, gurrrlll 🥰

pinter bgt ngomongnya dek 🥺

she's amazing lil girl

Pinter bangeeeet

Kids born in 2000

keren banget(: berani ngomong, ngungkapin apa yg dirasa

This saddens me so much than other feelings I could have been having. I feel her frustration and desperation and curiosity at the same time ..it also makes me wonder if I have ever exerted this kind of pressure on my own daughters 😑😑😑

People have no idea how hard the Chinese work and tend to look down upon them for it. The previous generation came from hardship and a cruel world where human lives are cheap and if you don’t work hard and become valuable person, you’ll have no right to anything even life.

kalo di sini kalo ada anak yg kasi argumen begini pasti ortunya bilang “jadi anak melawan bgt” “ngejawab aja kerjaannya” “dAsAR AnaK DuRHaKa”

husniideris Wow. The way she talk we all know how intelligent she is. Back in the days i tried and i got wacked and continue studying while crying.

Nonton cara dia menyampaikan pemikirannya ke bapaknya, tanpa mengeluarkan bahasa kasar, nadanya tetep slow ngga nge-gas, dan se-sopan itu, big applause sih buat adeknya🥹♥️ Soalnya aku sendiri kadang masih sering nge-gas kalo lagi diskusi sama orang tua, karena kebawa emosiㅠㅠ

看来她真的很努力了。为什么家长把孩子来到地球只让他们学习而工作?

I could tell from the way this kid argued that this kid is a very smart kid, smart enough to therefore occasionally cut back on the study time and use it to play 😋

“I don’t expect you to do much” thats what parents always say 😀😀

How the hell she could talk like that. I would be just crying n get mad.

she sounds very respectful i will be very happy to even listen to her talk she seems very smart

Girl speak for herself as she should! I hope her dad could open his mind a bit

This is absolutely true!I can feel for her & she is absolutely 1000% right.This is what I see nowadays to our kids.Let them hve a break once in a while & let them be kids enjoying their kiddy life,👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙂🙂🙂

Normal parenting ini China

This is one of the reasons why i don't trust my self to have one.

Artikulasi penyampaiannya sangat bagus.

yikes, triggers some trauma.

my mother would slap me with our broomstick if I ever did this.

A kid her age can talk this eloquent means she is raised well, aside that the father should balance her load and let kid being a kid. She conveyed her mind in a very composed way most adults may never be able to do it.

mdtzz90 :((

wow😃

哎呀亲爱的小朋友,听到你这样哭,我觉得很心伤,虽然你学习的压力很大,但是我告诉你宝贝儿,你现在在养成良好生活习惯,不过你的父母应该给你自由的时间,真真的珍惜你的儿童时光。祝你幸福亲❤️

Dad : I'm not asking you to do much Me : BS!

Bad father 👎

Poor little girl☹️

My ass would've been homeless if I did this. Brave kid. Wish I had her guts

shoutout to her braves

wow keren banget dia bisa langsung ngutarain pendapatnya begini 😭 keren banget

Let white guy have asian parents for 6 month

Keren banget bisa ungkapin semuanya dan bisa fokus sampe akhir diskusi. Gue mah keburu mewek aja kali.

izin beropini lagi yaa, bukan salah orang tua kalau mereka mau yang terbaik buat anaknya. tapi, alangkah baiknya kalau anak diarahkan pada kegiatan yang memang dia suka, jadi enjoy juga ngejalaninnyaa. so, semangatt dan jangan lupa istirahat yaa ! don't push yourself too hard 3

share ke ortu asik kali ya. tapi gw uda lulus sekolah 😃

chinese people normal day

feel so sorry for her. if my daughter say this to me im gonna say so sorry and hug her to calm her down.

Bagus ketika anak bisa menyuarakan perasaannya, dan orangtua mau mendengarkan. Karena dulu kyknya jaraaang orangtua yg mau mendengarkan anak. Sekarang ilmu parenting makin mudah didapat, orgtua muda lebih 'melek' parenting. Semoga kita bs mjd orangtua yg terus belajar, aamiin.

This is really break my heart💔

that she can speak her mind that clearly must mean that how developed her brain is and how much she's studied and learn everyday. she's reached the tipping point and I'm glad she could let everything out

GetVideoBot

😭😭😭

She'll be able to change the world soon or later, she's so smart than any person who don't know what they wants and needs and don't have bravery to speak what they wants and needs

Don't expect too much from ur children, let them free to choose a life

bisa komunikasi gitu aja pun dah hebat dek... gw mah tergagap2 berujung mogok ngmg

mfaizroslan WOW!!!!, this is freedom of expression at the highest epitome. Pressure to do well at school has increased stress and anxiety in students, leading to poor physical, social and emotional health. Pressure from parents, school, and teachers Let them treasure their childhood memory.

what a smart kid 🥺

Bagus bgt dia jelasin argumennya.. biasanya anak kecil cuma ngambek dan nangis

:(

She will realize it later or after got problem

Ini besarnya mungkin jd karen. H3h3

Her father be like:

Do you know how many school kids in Singapore kill themselves? The Ministry of Education must come clean and not hide this. Parents who drive their children to suicide should go to jail for Child Abuse. Teachers should look out for such abuse. Teachers must not give homework too.

Cry now, cry later.. not much of a different there tho. With tons of pressure: studying, mastering arts or music instruments, speech class, multiple language class.. seems like those craps are culture there, n not achieving those equals to 'failure' title for both kids n parents.

Rumit cuy, ini kaya bikin robot pintar, akhirnya si robot bisa protes, si anak bisa protes ya karna itu hasil didikan selama ini, coba kalo bodo amatan, paling hah hoh hah hoh, dan semoga kamu bisa study life balance ya dek

A child is still a child. They still want to play. Balance study and playtime

Gw dulu gak debat gini sama ortu, klo merasa capek belajar langsung tidur aja abis isya, jadi denger omelan pun paling kelawan ama mimpi 😅

kirim ke grup keluarga ah~ auto dikeluarin keknya 😂

if she’s up to that breaking point, that dad did her wrong, yet she’s still polite despite all is not because he succeeded in educating her, but she learns herself the most effective way to handle her dad. honestly some people doesn’t deserves kids 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

This is so disheartening. She seems & sounds like a good and clever girl. I hate seeing this happen. Kids should be kids, and she was right to express her feelings. I can't help but think this is part of the reasons for many suicide cases. Poor girl 🥺😭

She's very argumentative and respectful to speak up her mind

Tipikal asian parent 👀

If western people act like this, her parent will listen to it trying to understand, but if you do this to asian parent, you will kicked out from the house

She is smart, her fathers patiently hear her complain. I hope they find the win win solution to handle this issue.

Efek terus-terusan belajar nih, jadi pande ngungkapi perasaan

Wanna hug u tightㅠㅠ

Anaknya sopan, pinter, bertanggung jawab, ditekan sama papanya tapi masih bisa express her thoughts and feelings reasonably, bahkan bisa balik scold papanya 👏🏼👏🏼 Shushu udah deh itu anaknya ga usah ditekan lagi, udah jadi dia, dibiarin gitu aja nanti bisa masuk univ favorit.

I wish i could threw up like this when i was a kid but yeah once i talked, the belt and hanger were waiting wkwkwk

Oh my god, this is heart-breaking. And she's so wise! I hope he gives her a break.

😭😭😭

tegaralaga ini video yg tadi mau aku kasi liat

Burnout versi anak kecil disuruh belajar terus 😢

💔🥲

She looks so depressed, she could commit suicide anytime

She's mature than her age. This is smart and sad at the same time.

it’s very sad it also happened to my nephew, aged 5..back from school he needs to study..I gave my sister and her husband a letter of my displeasure and to avoid beefing with them.I said your child is not a robot..whereas a robot needs a break to recharge.And ya,both have changed

How to be smart and polite at the same time

tell her to pay her own bills. she would understand, what she did is NOTHING compared to what her parents always do for her.

Gileee umur segitu kalimat2 argumennya udah keren bgt 😭😭😭😭

She has potential to be a good lawyer in the future.

tunggalp jagalah anak ini dengan cinta kasih

DAAANG!!!!!! you go gurrll!!

In my native there would be a slap after each question xD

Pudili Very strong argument from the girl. In a very competitive society it is hard to say who is right and who is wrong. But I am glad they are trying to sort things out by discussing it in a calm manner. She might become a good lawyer or diplomat in the future.

🤡imagine get scolded by your own child and record to the internet

Welcome to China, she just didn't know yet. She even didn't notice that the fact she can speak that way is because of her dad with the help of her teachers in school

She should be the father instead. She knows what life is.

Was his father recording this video while his daughter talked? Are you sure this isn't content? 😅

Untung gak malah diajak adu nasib sama bapak/ibunya waktu kecil

Imagine schooling your dad so much all he can do about it is post in social media

Stress banget itu adeknya huhu kasian

Uyghurs children in China suffered lots worse than this. Will she change place? Same with kids in Palestine, Ukraine️, etc.

Emang budaya dari kecil sih hehe.

😧😧😧

☹️😭😭😭

The last time I tried this, I got a reply right after my first sentence - it was a belt.

Wow

dekkk dewasa kali omonganmu wkwk

Buat ortu : ga perlu maksa impian yg diinginkan jd dilimpahkan ke anak, mungkin maksut ortu pgn prepare masa depan anak. Tp anak berhak punya fase2 hidup yg dinikmati untuk bisa dikenang dan mjd pembelajaran

中国人卷人啊,父母这边能提供的有限,没有办法让你在未来形有多好的资源优势去过你想过的生活,迫不得已

wah gila si emg keliatan bgt hasil dari dia belajar keras, pola pikirnya udah jauh dan luas bgt di umur segitu😭😭🫶🏻

:(

She is so smart. If I have a girl like her, I will take her around the world, and she will be one of the world leader

Anak umur segini udah bisa ngomong kyk gini, keren bgt 🥲

Mentimoen gim ini Moen?

umur segini pemikirannya joss, keren nih bocah.orang tua pengen anaknya menjadi yg terbaik dan sesuai kemauan dan harapan ortu, tapi ortu jaman now harus support apapun kemauan dan pilihan anak yg pasti dlm hal positif.

Wow... my eyes tear up...

Not impressed.hey kiddo tell about your sorrow to your reader's digest

Asian children will understand the pain

Her dad should be proud having a daughter so smart

🗣“You’ve been good girl lately” Yeah, bcs all this time she’d only hold it in. That's why when she let out a bad feeling that made her cry a lot. 🥲

nah, she's actually sad about 4 june 1989

sad

Take a pity for ur kids. Please treat them kindly. It's not easy for being parents, but surely being a kid with pressure like this will break them

😢

The parents must be really shit if she had to do even this, u could see she’s at her breaking point.

off cam langsung digebukin gak yaa 😭

Watching the lil girl so unhappy for all the pressure put on her while sitting on (presumably) her dad gaming chair.. 🫤

Stupid parenting. The stress already imploded in this girl

Orang tua memang kebanyakan begitu, menginginkan yang terbaik untuk anaknya tetapi kadang anak tidak merasa seperti itu, merasa dikekang dsb. Pada akhirnya orang tua mendesign anaknya sesuai dg yang mereka inginkan, sedangkan anak hanya mengikuti nya sampai lupa dengan mimpinya.

She's very respectful but still manage to give out reasonable argument to her dad. Surely she's raised right, i hope her dad and also many parents out there know the importance of a happy childhood.

asian can relate.

Bocil pc dewa guis

its also shed some light that chinese education is getting better these days.

Ya Allah umur segini, udah keren bgt berargumen. Emg ada baik ortu tu gak hanya nuntut tp komunikasi dan mendengarkan itu penting bgt, jgn melulu merasa jd org tau sok paling ngerti segala hal. Astagaaahhhhhh Jgn jadikan aku dan suamiku nnt begitu ya Allah

Tiongkok,Stop drilling ur child to be number 1 badminton player in the future..u're just too far beyond us.. Indonesian

Chinese parents in a nutshell

Hebat ini anak, kemampuan menjelaskan apa yang ada dipikirannya diatas rata-rata.

u don't even need compare urself with ur dad girl, even he trying to make u a successful person someday that I'm not guaranteed! maybe ur dad wanna be a good parent, but let's cut off this bullshit! stop all of this nonsense! parents must become friendly with their kids!

StellaGuntur 🥺

Top 👍

I’m so proud of her :’)

Cool

She’s so smart ❤️ I hope she can play and have a happy childhood

Asian parents be like this

Good job.....the father teaches her well, seeking for freedom by rasioneble reason is one of education goals, I will cry happily seeing my children grow up well

copying strategy yg bagus 💕🥰

Good energy

Keep trying to understand that every human being is different, even your children. Don't teach make them learning, don't advise make them thinking, don't blame make them find their own solutions, let them know who they really are and what life really is.

Love these kids nowadays know how to reveal their feeling.

This kind of parent ruin childhood for sure.

She is so rude to the father

So eloquent! My argument to my parents when I was around her age was 'I .....*snot* ...play...homework, tough..*snot* ...bwaaahahaawwwkkhoekh...*snot* ..*wailing* *wailing* *snot*...wanna..*snot* play much...study..hard..*snot*..hungry now..play..*snot*'
