A Post-00s Dad Livestreams Raising His Kid: This Is How You Raise a Son

Gu Chun, a post-2000s dad, took his son to appear on a livestreaming show called The Strongest Kid in the Dragon Kingdom.

The production team had only planned to make a simple parent-child variety show and earn a little money from advertising. They never expected Gu Chun and his son to take the show straight to the top of the ratings.

While other dads took their sons on rocking horses and sang “What’s Your Daddy’s Daddy Called?”, Gu Chun signed his son up for a horse-riding competition. With a loving hand pressing down on the horse’s head, he lifted his son onto its back to gallop across the grasslands. “It’s your grassland and your horse. Ride however you like.”

While other dads took their sons golfing and bowling to try out so-called high-class sports, Gu Chun took his son dragon boat racing. “It’s your dragon boat and your paddle. If you’re a man, you charge ahead.”

When other dads saw their sons scrape a bit of skin, they started crying before their sons did. Gu Chun took his son to a world-class children’s street dance competition, where he swept the title. “A real man has to be able to do a Webster.”

While other dads put makeup on their sons and dressed them up to look even daintier than girls, Gu Chun got right to it, painting the theatrical face of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, on his son. With two pheasant feathers stuck in his headband, the boy entered a globally livestreamed BMX qualifying event. “Everyone can be their own Great Sage Equal to Heaven. If you dare to dream and dare to take risks, you can do anything!”

Viewer 1: I’m done. Other people bring their kids on the show to have fun, but Gu Chun brings his kid to risk his life!

Viewer 2: Tell your kid to stop showing off. I admit I’m useless, okay?

Viewer 3: Seriously, Gu Chun’s son is this talented. Did his dad teach him all of it?
