, Crown Agent On that day, Chengcai was caught. On February 22, the People's Procuratorate of Zhongyuan District, Zhengzhou City approved the arrest of Chengcai on suspicion of intentional homicide. By this time, Chengcai's mother had been dead for four days. The forensic examination determined that Guo had died from cranial injuries and mechanical asphyxiation caused by being hit on the head with a blunt instrument and having her neck strangled with a shoelace. Chengcai said that in order to ensure his mother was dead, he struck her head twice with a dumbbell, then cut her throat twice with a paper cutter, and finally wrapped her neck twice with a shoelace, tying it into a knot. After confirming his mother's death, he covered the body with a quilt and went to school. His mother listened to him, closed her eyes, and lowered her head. Seizing the opportunity, Chengcai raised the prepared dumbbell and struck his mother... From this case, we can see a series of problems existing in the current education system: exam-oriented education distorts the psychology of both students and parents. Students under heavy exam pressure cannot get any psychological relief, while parents under the pressure of wanting their children to succeed turn their hopes into "fanaticism"; the score-first principle emphasized by exam-oriented education pushes moral education, psychological education, and legal education out of the curriculum or even off the schedule. Education is far more than just exams. A scholar from Zhengzhou University said that although the case of Chengcai killing his mother was an isolated incident, it still had a certain degree of universality and randomness, and it should be used as an opportunity to reflect on the entire education system. Dad said that his wife was very extroverted, had a strong sense of responsibility towards her son, and had always stayed at home to take care of him without ever working. She had very strict requirements for her son's studies and they often quarreled over study issues. Share to: Comments are welcome, I want to comment Last November 12, Xu Xin, a sophomore from Hanyang, Wuhan, wielded a knife against his parents, killing his mother and severely injuring his father. Striking with a dumbbell and cutting the throat and strangling the neck "I never thought my son would kill his mother." Chengcai's father painfully said, "I think it might be because his wife usually managed her son too strictly, forcing him to study all day long, even during holidays, making him attend tutoring classes without any playtime, causing too much pressure on him and leading to psychological distortion." In junior high school, he once had the intention to kill his mother "The whole winter vacation was spent in tutoring. After the New Year, I again had the idea to kill her." Chengcai said that around the twelfth day of the first lunar month, he took out the dumbbell and prepared to knock down his mother. Hearing that his father would go to work on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and wouldn't return until three or four days later, he planned to kill his mother on the sixteenth day so that his father wouldn't discover it quickly. In the year 2000, in Jinhua, Zhejiang, a similar case of matricide also occurred. At seventeen, Xu Li was in his second year of high school. Because his father worked away from home for a long time, he basically grew up under the meticulous care of his mother. Under heavy pressure, Xu Li felt that his mother managed him too strictly and the goals she set were unattainable, making him feel deeply wronged and suppressed. Due to dissatisfaction with his mother's discipline, on January 17, 2000, Xu Li used an iron hammer to beat his mother to death and was later sentenced to 15 years in prison. The investigators asked Chengcai if he regretted killing his mother. Chengcai casually answered, "No regrets. I don't have to study anymore, and I don't have to deal with such great pressure." Voices Xu Xin's father said, Xu Xin originally had good grades, but "the computer ruined him." To make his son focus on studying, the father placed the computer at the aunt's house and lied to his son saying it was sold. "Because of this, my son frequently argued with the family, and the arguments became increasingly intense, and I didn't expect him to use a kitchen knife on us." On February 11, after working for four days, Chengcai's father returned home and saw lunch already prepared on the table but did not see the mother and son. He came to his son's room and found his wife lying diagonally on the bed, covered with a quilt. He lifted the quilt and saw blood on the pillow and beside it. Guo devoted all her energy to her son: every morning after breakfast, she rode an electric bike to send her son to school; picked him up after school, fed him lunch, and sent him back; at 10 p.m., she picked him up after evening self-study. Chengcai attended a prestigious high school. Every year, hundreds of students from this high school entered key universities, and many junior high school graduates were proud to enter this school. As soon as Chengcai started high school, his mother Guo rented a place near the school and moved the family there. Normally, the expenses for Chengcai's family were entirely supported by his father who worked as a worker. To ensure his son's studies, Guo economized, and during the gaps in her son's daily study routine, she enrolled him in tutoring classes. "My mother signed me up for four tutoring classes: one for Chinese, one for math, one for English, and one for physics. By the time of this winter vacation, it changed to two chemistry classes, one Chinese class, one math class, and one English class. The whole winter vacation was spent in tutoring, stopping only on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month before the New Year, and resuming on the fifth day of the first lunar month after the New Year, with the few days in between spent doing homework at home," Chengcai said. Chengcai said, "I couldn't say it. I simply didn't want to study, so I had no study plan. After a while, she began to scold me, and I decided to kill her." Chengcai performed well in school and was even the physical education committee member of the class. His best ranking was 21st in the class and 91st in the whole school. According to the teacher's statement: "Students ranked within the top 600 in our school can all enter key universities." Educational Weibo Recommendation | Today's Hot Topics on Weibo On February 7, after the Lantern Festival, Chengcai's school officially reopened. After finishing his homework, Chengcai was about to rest when his mother commented that his study condition wasn't good and asked about his study plan and which university he intended to apply for. Ignoring her, Chengcai remained silent, and his mother began to scold him.
