"I attended a private boarding school from elementary school. The school was actually pretty good, and the teachers and principal were quite nice. They knew my family and took good care of me."
Xia Fanxing said, "The problem was, every Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, I'd be gloomy. I didn't want to go to school, but my mom and dad would simply carry me to the car and send me off to school. No matter how much I cried in the car, it was of no use. A few times, when I cried badly, my dad would pick up a ruler, make me kneel in the study, and beat me harshly. For days at school afterward, I couldn't even hold chopsticks properly; the memory is too vivid."
He gestured the length of the ruler with his hand, approximately more than a meter.
