The main character in this story is Tongshen – a relatively older streamer and a very passionate gamer. Not only is he extremely enthusiastic about video games, but Tongshen is also very conscious of nurturing the next generation by frequently bringing his son – Chen Chen onto his livestreams. For many, the environment for the little boy Chen Chen might seem ideal, a dream come true, but just recently, both Chen Chen and his father encountered an extremely awkward situation, having to yield to a powerful gank from the streamer’s wife.
Specifically, while allowing his son to livestream in his place, Tongshen was startled to witness a “war” of words between his wife and son. His wife insisted that their son couldn’t play video games until he finished his homework and took a bath, while the little boy was quite defiant, responding with just two words: “Shut up“. This seemed to trigger a time bomb, as just minutes later, Chen Chen’s mother stormed into the livestream room, demanding an explanation from both father and son.
It took a lot of effort for Tongshen to “negotiate” with his wife and present two options to his son. One was to go to bed immediately and continue playing tomorrow, or he could keep playing but would have to face his mother’s wrath alone, without his father’s protection. Before the boy could even make a choice, Tongshen quietly stepped outside, allowing the boy’s mother to rush in and give Chen Chen a lesson he wouldn’t forget.
Following this livestream incident, netizens were divided into two opposing opinions regarding Tongshen and his son. While many found the streamer’s “gentle approach” with his son quite humorous and entertaining, on the other hand, there were also many fans who felt dissatisfied with Tongshen’s handling of the situation, advising him to adopt a more reasonable approach to parenting.
