A 13-year-old student named Huang Yibo became an Internet sensation recently for showing an enthusiasm for politics that belies his age. Many criticized his parents’ educational method, with education specialists calling for people to diversify their learning.


Huang is a first-year middle school student in Hubei Province. His many honors include National Excellent Juvenile, Hundred Excellent Youth in China and Top Ten Young Pioneers.


It’s been reported that he began watching CCTV news broadcasts at 2 years old. Eventually he insisted on reading newspapers every day, such as People’s Daily and Caokao Xiaoxi, or Reference News, a daily newspaper published by Xinhua News Agency.


So far, he has published more than 100 articles in newspapers and magazines. He used the money from the articles – about 3,000 yuan – and money from selling waste materials to help his family’s elderly members.


In a photo that was originally posted on Huang’s blog and has since become widely disseminated, Huang is shown reading in front of a sign that asks students to set a good example for the school. The caption reads: “Huang Yibo is reading a document after his election as commander in chief of the Young Pioneers in Wuhan.”


His blog has received more than 1 million visits.


In another photo, Huang stands with two other boys his age, with the caption: “Huang Yibo is with colleagues in the headquarters of Young Pioneers in Wuhan.” The boy in the picture appears far more mature than his peers. The captions on all the photos on his blog strike a dry, bureaucratic tone.


The family deleted the photos and articles on the blog and opened a microblog requesting people leave their child alone after the onslaught of attention.

A farce----

This whole thing, including media coverage and netizens’ criticism, is like a farce. It is unfair for the teenage boy. The earliest report about Huang Yibo appeared in 2009, focusing on his benevolence to the elderly. But when his story emerged on microblogs several days ago, people began to criticize and mock him excessively.


Every child has different interests and sources of happiness. Not every child should have to enjoy watching cartoons or playing games. We have no right to impose ourselves on him.

– Guo Qin, critic in Wuhan


Don’t grow up too fast

Each family has its own educational method. However, it’s not appropriate to expect too much from a child when he is young. Still, we can’t say it’s wrong to let a 2-year-old child watch CCTV news; it just may be better for the child’s development to watch children’s programming instead.

– Fan Xianzuo, professor at Central China Normal University


Keep children away from bureaucracy

Seeing a child with an official look, official words and official tone is really disheartening. His father has influenced the boy too much. He’s been calling the boy’s friends his “colleagues.” Why set that tone for children?

Rise and Fall of a young political star ----

A rapidly spreading Internet controversy threatens to turn a precocious political star-in-the-making into a 21st century Chinese version of Icarus.

Like the mythical Greek boy with the waxen wings, the child at the center of the controversy, 13-year-old Huang Yibo, was soaring.


Sina.com

A screenshot taken May 5, 2011 shows one of dozens of Chinese blogs discussing photos of 13-year-old political prodigy Huang Yibo. According to local media reports (in Chinese), Huang, a top-ranking student in Wuhan’s Young Pioneers of China, started watching China’s main state-run evening news broadcast at the age of two. He went on to become a voracious reader of the People’s Daily when he turned seven and has since made “allowing everyone to live an even better life” his dream.

Huang’s fall came when a series of promotional photos was posted online, attracting the searing heat of Chinese Internet scrutiny.

In the photos, Huang is seen busy sifting through reams of documents, preaching lofty principles to his classmates, donating one-hundred-yuan notes to a good cause and generously providing autographs to younger admirers.

Published online by the Young Pioneers (a primary school branch of the Communist Youth League), the photos initially seemed to launch Huang to nationwide political fame. But praise quickly turned to ridicule.

A lot of attention was paid to Huang’s conspicuously displayed five-stripe badge, a symbol of his status in the Young Pioneers hierarchy. According to the the organization’s charter, the highest-ranking leaders of the group are allowed to wear a three-stripe badge only. As reporters later discovered (in Chinese), the city of Wuhan, where Huang lives, breached the rules and established a subbranch of the Young Pioneers, which decided to treat its top local leaders to an extra two stripes.

“I’ve never heard of five stripes before,” wrote one Internet commenter from Sichuan province in comments translated by the blog chinaSMACK. “I only know that having stripes all over your body is the outfit of mental patients!”

Critics were equally focused on the boy’s appearance. In the photos, Huang’s chubby face, framed by the Young Pioneers’ signature red scarf, projects a stern and worldly look — the calm expression that is the trademark of revolutionary figures and favored by today’s senior Communist Party cadres.

“The humble people seek an audience with Lord Huang,” a reader from Nanjing joked on the Tencent news portal.

Some critics have also laid into Huang’s parents, with many accusing them of brainwashing their own child and packaging him for public consumption. Responding to questions from the local Changjiang Times (in Chinese), Huang’s parents denied they encouraged their son to choose politics as an interest, insisting the child developed his study habits on his own, and said they’ve been bewildered by the response to the photos.

“He’s just a child,” the boy’s father, Huang Hongzhang told the newspaper. “I don’t understand why people want to take out their frustrations with society on my son.”

While the bulk of online opinion has been stacked against them, Huang and his parents enjoy support from at least one heavy hitter. Writer Han Han, arguably the country’s most influential blogger, joined defended the youngster in a post published Wednesday:

A lot of netizens feel politics is harmful to elementary school students, but I don’t see anything wrong with the “News Simulcast” as children’s programming. What is political and what is not political, elementary school students have no idea… Any brainwashing that happens before adolescence turns to ash, or even reverses itself completely, once kids start to learn about the world. Whose education hasn’t been like this?

If anything, Han Han jokes, he is jealous of Huang. Noting that he earned two out of three stripes when he himself was a Young Pioneer, the blogger writes: “I’d always thought I was 66% successful. It wasn’t until today that I realized I’m actually not even 40% a success.”
