The father of a Chinese schoolboy almost died while helping his son do his homework. According to the SCMP, the man felt a sharp pain in his chest while studying with a child who was preparing for high school entrance exams in Zhejiang Province in eastern China.
The father was urgently hospitalized and diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction. Thanks to the actions of doctors who promptly performed a bypass operation, the man was saved, writes the South China Morning Post.
According to the publication, this is not the first time that Chinese residents have been hospitalized due to health problems due to the workload in schools. Many teachers shift responsibility for homework to parents, and they often view their children's academic performance as a reflection of their own success.
