BEIJING: Zhang Haimei has been struggling with her son’s severe depression for nearly three years. He was absent from school for a year and was striving to return to normalcy when he faced the high school entrance exam in June.
She wore an auspicious red qipao to bring him good luck in the test. However, on the afternoon of the second day of the exam, he returned home and uttered the words she dreaded. “I won’t do the exam,” he told his mother.
It was not until after nine in the evening that his mood calmed down, and he agreed to do the exam the next day. –The Daily Mail-China Daily news exchange item
