Life is a difficult thing. And so one father, wanting to teach his son a valuable lesson, decided to try something new in the field of parenting methods. While the boy's mother was away, 39-year-old truck driver Zhang Junguang went on a trip from his hometown of Puyang to Beijing with his young son. They had to travel on roller skates, but this was not the worst thing — they had to cover a distance of 520 kilometers.

Every day, the father and son got up at 8 o'clock in the morning and got to the Chinese national road No. 106. Once an hour, travelers stopped to rest and recuperate, and closer to sunset they began to look for a place to sleep. That's how their usual day on roller skates went.

After the trip, Zhang Junguang admitted that the biggest disadvantage of their adventure was the windy weather and bad road in some sections. Also, the father proudly said that several times on the way, the four-year-old son cried, but did not complain and did not give up. That was Junguang's goal - to teach the boy to persevere towards his goal and not retreat.

When this story appeared in the news, many condemned the Chinese driver's act, considering him not a father, but a psychopath who mocks a child.
