We don’t know who is more upset, the dad… or his son?
After a year of tutoring his son in Maths, a father in China found himself sobbing and wiping away his own tears after his son scored only six out of 100 in his final Math exam.

The video, which went viral on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website shows the father crying and wiping away his tears in what seems like his bedroom.
In the background, his wife could be heard chuckling at the sad, yet amusing sight.
The father broke down in tears as he felt let down when he received his son’s final exam reports. The man is believed to be living with his wife and son in Zhengzhou, Henan in China.
“I don’t care anymore, my efforts are wasted. Let him struggle by himself,” said the man.
Apparently, he had been staying up late at night to teach his son Math for the past year. Woah, that is dedication!
Chinese netizens took to the comment section to advise the father about the difficulties of parenting and the pressures of modern education.

Meanwhile, there are those who believed that the father is too strict and that the son might have handed in the exam with blank responses as a form of silent protest, “Six out of 100 marks is just too low, even by failing standards,” said one person.
Hmm, what do you guys think about this?
