A traditional cultural academy in China’s northeastern province of Jilin has been investigated after a nine-year-old student died, apparently of leukaemia, and the school’s founder blamed the child’s parents for his disease, telling them “your family has sinned too many times”.
Zhou Zuorui died in hospital on December 11 after feeling ill for a week while attending the Yukun School, a private boarding academy in Yitong county that specialises in teaching traditional Chinese culture, the Chongqing Morning Post reported.
