Quirky China: Father dislocates own jaw while yelling at daughter, app that tracks cat’s feelings and postcards to space
- A man became so frustrated with his daughter’s inability to learn during home tutoring session that he ended up dislocating his own jaw
- A developer from Shenzhen has built an app that can tell him how his cat is feeling while he is away from home
A man in central China became so angry while tutoring his daughter that his jaw became dislocated, a video on social media has revealed.
In the video taken by the man’s wife, he is seen wearing pyjamas with bandages wrapped around his head as he walked home from the hospital on Tuesday in Yueyang, Hunan province, after medical treatment. His wife could be heard laughing throughout the video.
The woman said her husband suddenly couldn’t close his mouth after becoming too emotional while trying to teach his daughter to recognise different banknotes, but the girl could not remember which notes were which.
“On the way to the hospital, he said it was so painful that he hoped to see the doctor as soon as possible,” the woman, whose name was not released, told news website The Paper. “But on the way home, he complained about the high medical cost, and said: ‘I can do many other things with this 150 yuan (US$23).’”
The story quickly became one of the most-searched news items online in China.
