Once upon a time, that tragic video was all the rage on the Internet, and it was shocking! The protagonist of the video, an innocent child, was ruthlessly forced by his own father to undergo cruel training in freezing conditions of minus 13 degrees.
This abused child was He Yide, who was just a 4-year-old boy at that time.
Back on that cold February night in 2008, the first cry of a new life was heard in the hospital. He Yide was born prematurely, and the little life that should have brought joy and hope to the whole family turned into a huge bomb at this moment, rippling all the joy and gloom in this family.
Standing outside the delivery room, He Liesheng clutched the bad news announced by the doctor: the child came into the world three months earlier than the expected delivery date, and his body was too weak to be urgently transferred to the intensive care unit.
This sudden change made He Liesheng feel like he was in chaos, and felt that his whole world was beginning to collapse, and this strong man who was running around in the business world poured all his efforts and savings into the birth of his son.
The wife's painful moans could be heard in the delivery room. He Liesheng held back the tears that were about to burst, pushed open the door of the ward, and looked at his wife's pale face and scattered hair on the sickbed, his eyes were full of helpless tears.
In that icy winter, a video suddenly appeared on the Internet that sparked heated discussions - the barefoot four-year-old boy, walking alone on the snow, was running with all his might, the picture in the video was low and depressing, the boy's figure was printed on the white snow, looking so lonely, the air was cold and biting, and the degree of cold was shocking.
Digital on the temperature display, extremely cold, minus 13°C. Funnily enough, there is also a mysterious figure in the video - it seems to be the boy's father?
What clearly came to everyone's minds was that the father did not choose to stop his child's unconscionable naked running, but did not hesitate to follow him, shouting motivating slogans such as "Run, speed up!", urging the child to speed up the running pace in an extremely emotional tone.
This unexpected scene undoubtedly made the majority of netizens more confused and puzzled in addition to being shocked. In the face of such a distressing phenomenon of "child abuse", many people strongly condemned the middle-aged father's behavior of harming the child's physical and mental health, and some even clamored for the police to protect the legitimate rights and interests of this innocent young child.
In this controversial video world, many netizens were indignant and expressed deep dissatisfaction and confusion. Some people mercilessly accused the middle-aged man of abusing the child and trampling on the child's physical and mental health, and some even called the police to defend the young boy's right to live.
However, it was precisely when the people of the whole country were boiling and angry that someone finally uncovered the story behind this video and was able to reveal a corner of the truth. It turned out that the 4-year-old boy who was forced to run naked in the bitter cold weather turned out to be He Yide.
And this seemingly cruel and ruthless "sadistic" father turned out to be He Yide's biological father He Liesheng.
What's even more shocking is that He Yide has experienced various setbacks since he was a child. He was only a few months old when he was born in the hospital, and his life was in danger, and doctors diagnosed that he would most likely become a severe "cerebral palsy".
Imagine how emotionally worried and desperate He Liesheng, as the son whose parents were waiting with great expectations, faced with such a cruel reality at that time. This was the common wish of their husband and wife, and it was also a manifestation of their endless expectations for their son, but who would have expected that this child would encounter such difficulties at the beginning of his birth.
But even though fate is so harsh, He Liesheng still has a firm belief and never wavers.
In order to achieve his firm goal - to let his son He Yide grow up healthy and strong, He Liesheng designed a set of extremely rigorous and strict special training programs.
He Liesheng's first step was to guide He Yide to learn to swim when he was still an infant in his infancy, aiming to improve the child's physical fitness. During those difficult years, He Yide often wept bitterly, and his condition was worrying.
There is no doubt that being forced into icy water as an infant is an extremely difficult and challenging experience. The situation was in front of him, and He Liesheng had mixed feelings in his heart, but he always maintained a steadfast attitude and did not show any weakness.
Following the principle of asymptotic, He Liesheng gradually extended the duration of He Yide's swimming training from the initial 10 minutes to 1 hour at a calm and imperceptible pace, and at the same time, the water temperature gradually changed from the initial mild temperature to the icy temperature.
It is gratifying to know that after unremitting efforts, He Yide finally succeeded in adapting and agreeing to this unique and demanding way of exercising.
When He Yide was already able to walk independently, He Liesheng carefully planned a new project for him that was both challenging and tempering - walking training. From a short distance of a few meters at the beginning, to hundreds of meters or even kilometers later, in the process of gradually increasing the difficulty, the father and son have always adhered to their original intentions, rain or shine.
Relatives and friends around him looked at their tenacity and perseverance, and questioned whether He Liesheng's approach was too extreme, but in the face of everyone's bitterness, he was indifferent, and he could only be confident in his belief in cultivating his son.
In the course of this special training, which was full of hardships and arduous difficulties, He Yide, a child with cerebral palsy who was judged by doctors to be "irreparable" as a child, finally achieved an eye-catching and amazing breakthrough.
Admittedly, all of this is inseparable from He Liesheng's continuous indoctrination and guidance over the years, which has allowed He Yide to participate in various extreme challenges, and almost every time he has broken the previous record as the youngest participant.
One of the most striking occurred when He Yide was only five years old. At that time, he was awarded the title of "Guinness World Records Smallest Pilot". Imagine flying an airplane weighing 116 kilograms for a 5-year-old child, both mentally and physically.
However, it was precisely under He Liesheng's deep concern and careful care that He Yide, with his extraordinary ability, successfully completed this "seemingly invincible" mission! All the staff members present were shocked and dumbfounded when they saw that this "prodigy" had traveled so unhindered from the beginning of boarding the plane to the entire flight.
Two years later, the father and son bravely traveled to Xinjiang to take part in the extreme challenge of "crossing Lop Nur", known as the "zone of death". It takes not only physical strength to challenge it, but more importantly perseverance.
But even such a difficult and arduous challenge in the minds of ordinary people, the 7-year-old boy He Yide completed it effortlessly, as easily and neatly as playing in the back garden of his home.
What makes people even more unbelievable is that when he was 8 years old, with the help of self-study as an undergraduate, He Yide was successfully admitted to the prestigious Nanjing University. Just imagine, how an 8-year-old child can cross the threshold of undergraduate is unimaginable for us ordinary people!
However, for Ho, who has undergone a long period of professional training and extraordinary intelligence, this does not seem to be a big deal.
After successfully obtaining a bachelor's degree from Nanjing University, He Yide's academic career seems to have ushered in a new chapter. His extraordinary talent and ingenuity have finally been fully unleashed.
In just the past three years, He Yide has obtained a bachelor's degree from Nanjing University with his excellent performance. In the eyes of the public, the undergraduate study is already very arduous and long, but for He Yide, it seems that only a small step has been taken.
After receiving his diploma, he not only did not stop, but turned his attention to more high-end universities.
Not surprisingly, He Yide won the admission letter of MBA awarded by Wukang University in Spain. In the process of pursuing an MBA, he once again impressed the faculty with his outstanding learning ability, and ended the course perfectly with excellent grades.
As if afraid that he would have nothing to do, He Yide did not stop after graduation, and quickly won the doctoral admission qualification of the University of São Paulo, a well-known university in the Philippines.
For others, it is enough to be proud to receive a doctorate from a leading university, but for Ho, it still seems far from satisfying his thirst for knowledge and achievement.
In February 2024, at the age of 15, he received an admission letter that shook the world - he successfully passed the rigorous review of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom and was appointed as a postdoctoral fellow! There is no doubt that in time, He Yide will break the history of Cambridge University and become the youngest doctoral degree recipient in history.
It is precisely because of his continuous breakthrough results that He Yide, a teenager who was once positioned as a "child with cerebral palsy", has now jumped to a "genius prodigy" in the eyes of everyone. The course of his career is like a passionate and touching inspirational blockbuster, attracting countless audiences to taste the resentment and anxiety, and finally see the light of hope in the exciting and glorious ending.
Thinking about it, why is it only at his youngest stage that He Yide has been able to achieve today's amazing achievements? Behind all these outstanding performances can almost be said to be the result of the rigorous training program adopted by his father He Liesheng since childhood.
Whether it is swimming exercise that began as a baby, or hiking in the later period, or even running naked in the cold wind of more than ten degrees below zero, it is the best proof that He Liesheng is a father with good intentions and is willing to endure hardships.
It is through such a tortuous and difficult growth process that He Yide can finally turn into a butterfly and shine as an outstanding "prodigy".
Looking back, from the original "fat boy" to the current "genius prodigy", in He Yide's unique and extraordinary life process, his father He Liesheng undoubtedly played a pivotal leading role.
Since the birth of the child, with a firm belief in the challenge of fate, he decided to formulate a set of extremely strict special training programs, and every link shows He Liesheng's ardent expectations and unremitting pursuit of his son's success.
Some people may question or even accuse He Liesheng's behavior of being too harsh, almost cruel to his own flesh and blood. However, the fact that cannot be ignored is that it is precisely because of He Liesheng's perseverance and full promotion that He Yide was able to break through many difficulties at a young stage of life, thus creating such a symbol of honor that countless people envy and admire today.
However, while we are shocked why Rhett created this life story full of counterattack miracles under the leadership of his father He Liesheng, we still need to remain sober and clearly regard He Liesheng's experience and methods as a kind of experience that cannot be simply copied to every family and every child, and it is obviously not appropriate as a master key to success.
In fact, in the process of educating children, we should respect individual differences, pay attention to teaching children according to their aptitude, and formulate personalized training plans for different children, which is a truly rational and effective method.
Admittedly, some children may need the right amount of stress and restraint to reach their potential, but on the other hand, many children may exhibit the characteristics to thrive in a happy, free growing atmosphere.
More importantly, for any child, childhood is undoubtedly the happiest and most innocent period of their life. We should not be too strict with them, let alone impose excessive expectations and demands on them, on the contrary, we should give them plenty of free space to play and grow freely.
Therefore, the positive impact of a happy childhood will be a great impetus and an endless source of energy for these children to succeed in the future!
We deeply admire that Ho Richard has successfully learned from the guidance of his father, Ho Lie-sheng, to achieve this extraordinary life journey. However, in contrast, we pay more attention to the fact that we must be deeply aware that each child has its own unique personality characteristics, and we should carry out targeted educational guidance according to their actual situation, and must not blindly copy any so-called "successful education model".
