A video of parents from eastern China celebrating their son’s exam results after he got just one point above a pass has gone viral online.

Unlike the typical Chinese “tiger parenting” style, the father prioritised his child’s health and happiness over perfection.
The clip shows a mother entering a house with three children, holding an exam paper and smiling broadly.
She excitedly tells her husband, who is lying on the couch: “Our son scored 61 out of 100; he passed the monthly maths exam.”
The father, surnamed Liang, jumps up from the couch, exclaiming: “My son, this is truly an honour for our family. Let me call your grandparents to share the good news.”
