People on social media have been left heartbroken over a 12-year-old boy who ran away from home to escape his father’s discipline, and only heard about the latter’s sudden death when he was found by the police.
The boy, surnamed Wang, from eastern China’s Jiangxi province, ran away from home on May 20 after his father scolded and beat him for playing with his phone too much.
Two days later, his father, a delivery driver, was hit by a car while on the job.
According to a witness, Wang senior was riding his electric bike when it collided with a car and he was dragged under its wheels.
