My nephew is a genius. At just fourteen, he got into a top-tier university.
To speed up her son's path to greatness, my older sister planned to send him to college.
I advised her, "He's still young. If he repeats a year, he might have a shot at getting into Tsinghua or Peking University."
Since I was a university professor, my sister took my advice.
Later, my nephew got into Tsinghua, just as hoped.
But Tsinghua was full of talented students, and my nephew lost his title of "genius." He grew gloomy and miserable all day long.
My sister blamed me, and my nephew resented me too. Together, they had me killed.
"Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Auntie, you ruined my life, so you'll pay for it with yours!"
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day they forced my nephew to go to college.
