On the morning of June 1980, mother Rong gave birth to a "giant baby" at Yan Chai Hospital in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong.

I looked at him and didn't have time to respond. He was so excited that he gave me a good spanking. After that, I felt very wronged and told him that I just put the things on my desk into my schoolbag in a hurry after school and accidentally swept the eraser of my neighbor's classmate into my schoolbag. But dad was nervous. He said,' You should return the eraser to your classmates at once! So as not to be misunderstood. " "
