China’s bullying problem in spotlight after teenager’s death


Three days after he went missing, thirteen-year-old Ke Liangwei’s body was found in the wilderness on October 26. The young teenager had drowned.

Then last week, his story took a dark twist that casts new light on his death and shines a spotlight on China’s bullying problem. A video emerged of a peer slapping the boy in the face and knocking him to the ground in a restroom while several other students looked on and cheered.
