In junior high school, Wu applied for boarding at the school to ease his father's heavy burden.

"My son offered to live at the school, and I agreed with him because I thought we couldn't accompany him all his life. He had to learn to face reality and get used to independent living," the father said.

After seeing his son's gaokao scores, Wu Guoxiong endorsed the choice to study digital media at Communication University of Zhejiang.

"He wants to be an animation designer," he said. He had hoped his son would be able to choose what he was really interested in and take care of himself in college. He was not disappointed.

"Your real grades are on the path ahead," he said on WeChat.
