Recently, I saw a video that deeply saddened me. In the video, there's a person who claims to be an education expert. In a child's home, she instructed the child to smash all of his toys. This expert said it was for the child's own good, so that he could focus on studying. Her video angered many Chinese netizens, and everyone said, "Stop bullying style education for children!" Today, let's talk about what this video captured and why it made so many people angry.
