Around this year's Tomb-Sweeping Day, an April national holiday in which people show respect to their ancestors Geno Atkins Jersey , an 11-year-old girl named Wenwen (pseudonym) was killed by her father after he beat her for two hours.




As the teachers at her school in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province later revealed, they knew Wenwen was suffering from abuse and had criticized her father. He told them he beat his child to "educate" her because she "liked lying" and he didn't think she worked hard enough.




This tragedy occurred not long after Li Zhengqin, a mother in Nanjing, East China's Jiangsu Province, who was jailed for half a year for beating her adopted son to "educate" him A.J. Green Jersey , was released and made headlines across China. Li was arrested after photos showing the boy's bruises and scars were exposed online, which Li said were inflicted after the boy lied about his school work.




These types of news stories, though extreme, are sadly common. Some have even labeled them "Chinese-style child abuse" to stress how normal they are among Chinese families to "teach" them by beating them.




According to the Beijing Children's Legal Aid and Research Center, there were 697 reported child abuse cases from 2008 to 2013, 359 of which involved the death of a child Andy Dalton Jersey , many of which involve long-term abuse and are particularly extreme.

When Li Zhengqin was arrested half a year ago, some showed surprise that beating one's own child constitutes a crime. In China, beating children is just considered normal.




Lu, a 32-year-old from Yunnan Province, told the Global Times that most men he knows were beaten when they were boys.




Zhang Wholesale Bengals Hoodies , who is in her 60s and lives in Beijing, had a hot temper when she was young. And her children were the victims of her anger.




According to Zhang, when her children were little, they lived in a village surrounded by a pond and sometimes children fell into the water and drowned. So she would make her children kneel and beat them with a belt every time they went out of her sight. She beat them even harder when she found they lied about their examinations or stole money.




"For my generation, beating them is to love them, while pampering is doing them harm Wholesale Bengals Shirts ," Zhang told the Global Times.




This tradition has been passed on. Surfing online, one can see that whenever there are posts discussing the experience of being beaten as a child many people will share their experience of being bit by their parents.




As many netizens said, some of them were beaten all the way up to college while some were fortunate enough that this abuse stopped earlier. Some say they were just slapped, while others describe being lashed with a belt or tied up naked.

Among them Wholesale Bengals Jerseys , 88 percent were beaten by their own parents. The parents were born in the 1960's, 70's and 80's.

"If the Law on the Protection of Juveniles was carried out strictly, the majority of parents would be jailed," a parent surnamed Liu told the Guangdong Province-based Huizhou Daily.
