Parenting is not an easy task. In order not to go too far, you need to know when and where to stop. The 39-year-old truck driver, Zhang Jungguan, while his wife was away, decided to teach a lesson to her 4-year-old son.
Together they traveled from their hometown of Puyang to Beijing on roller skates. Everything would be fine if these cities did not share a distance of 520 kilometers.
Every day, to get to the Chinese national road, father and son had to get up at 8 a.m. Every hour, travelers stopped to rest, and towards evening, they looked for overnight.
Visiting every city on the way to Beijing, the father took pictures of his son near the signs on the highway. And by the end of the journey they had gathered about 600 shots.
At the end of the journey, Zhang Jungguan admitted that they experienced the greatest difficulties due to windy weather and roughnesses in some sections of the road.
Father also proudly said that the 4-year-old boy cried several times during the trip. But he did not complain, although it was very hard for him. As a matter of fact, this was Zhang's goal - to teach his son to persistently go to the goal.
