This series of unfortunate events has occurred one after another, which is truly regrettable. Not long ago, Zhang Zhilin was involved in a turmoil because of his endorsement of a product, which was not only exposed to risk investigation, but also in the incident of his son Zhang Mutong, his family once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
The incident occurred on September 25, 2023, when a netizen broke the news that Zhang Mutong shared a video on his cousin's social media account involving an alleged discriminatory RAP performance.
In the video, we can see Zhang Mutong sitting on the bed, singing, dancing, and making various movements with his hands.
However, the most striking part is a lyric in the video: "I asked them if they could see (squint), they should know that I gave them glasses, became mathematicians, they were from Guangzhou, they saw me eating dog meat, they said they wanted it too." ”
When he sang the lyrics "I asked them if they could see," he deliberately narrowed his eyes and pointed his finger at the corner of his eye, and acted very pleasantly.
Although this video was shot in October 2019, it was dug up again for unknown reasons, and once exposed, it immediately caused widespread controversy.
According to insiders, the squinting gestures and lyrics in the video are insulting, which has sparked some discussions many years ago. However, after Zhang Mutong's mother Yuen Yongyi came forward to clarify at that time, the turmoil gradually subsided.
But unexpectedly, the video resurfaced years later, and some netizens believed that it contained not only insults to China, but also a racial discrimination.
The incident also sparked anger against Cheung Chi Lin and Yuen Wing-yee. Some people believe that this is related to improper family education, especially since they have been working in the mainland for many years, while their son's words and actions are intolerable.
The controversy over Zhang Mutong is not new. Before that, he had been questioned for multiple inappropriate remarks, and this time the situation became more serious.
Another time, in a variety show, Zhang Zhilin and his wife spoke to their son, when Yuen Yongyi replied that they were in Shenzhen
, the son actually responded: "Oh, you are in China!" ”
This answer is shocking, it seems that in Zhang Mutong's mind, there is a clear difference between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, which has caused a large number of netizens to question their home education.
Another memorable event occurred in 2021, when Zhang Mutong participated in the "You Ask Me Answer" game on social media, and some netizens asked him if he was now in China, and he posted a photo of Hong Kong and replied: "No, not right now"
。 The incident once again attracted widespread attention, many people questioned his position, and eventually Yuen Wing-yee had to publicly clarify and apologize.
Yuen explained that her son's misunderstanding of remarks was due to his lack of understanding of English language, insisting that his family loved the country and Hong Kong and supported one China.
Although Yuen's apology has been forgiven by some, the fact is that Cheung's son has caused controversy many times, which has led to deep thinking about home education.
In any case, this series of events reminds us that homeschooling is essential for the development of children. Especially today, children already have a certain ability to judge themselves, so education must be more deliberate. We expect Zhang Mutong to learn lessons, improve his words and deeds, and make positive contributions to his family and society. Family education not only affects the growth of individuals, but also relates to the harmony and progress of the entire society. This is the responsibility of every family, but also the responsibility of society.
