Heart attack while teaching children to review for high school entrance exam

A Chinese man got so angry while tutoring his son with his homework that he had a heart attack and almost died.

The man surnamed Zhang, in his 40s from Zhejiang Province, China, began to experience shortness of breath and chest pain while helping his son prepare for his high school entrance exam.

Things got so tense that Mr. Truong was hospitalized and diagnosed with an acute myocardial infarction. Doctors at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital performed emergency coronary bypass surgery and saved his life. The cause of the heart attack is believed to be premature coronary artery disease, a life-threatening condition that is often aggravated by stress.

In Truong's case, the constant stress of having to supervise her son's studies was the trigger for the heart attack.

Zhang’s case has once again sparked debate about the intense academic pressure faced by Chinese teenagers and their parents. Parents’ stress levels when it comes to their children’s education are so high that they suffer serious physical problems.

Over the past year, several Chinese parents have been hospitalized for health problems caused by the stress of teaching their children. In February, a father in Zhejiang suffered serious eye damage after becoming so stressed while helping his child with homework that he became unconscious. In Jiangsu, a mother suffered a stroke after losing her temper with her daughter when she failed to finish her homework before bedtime.

One reason for this tension is the social view ofeducation in China, where academic achievement is not just a matter for the student but also a measure of the family's success.

Many parents view the college entrance exam as the only “golden door” to a bright future, forcing their children to constantly push themselves to study hard. With more than 13 million students taking the college entrance exam every year, the competition to get into top universities is becoming increasingly fierce and fierce. This has created a stressful educational environment where students are required to study day and night and parents act as strict supervisors.

Professor Ling Zongwei, an education expert in China, has advised parents to control their emotions and create a healthier learning environment for their children.

According to him, parents should not interfere too much in their children's studies but should encourage them to take responsibility for their own studies and learning outcomes. This is the way to reduce stress and bring balance to the lives of both parents and children.
