A child prodigy of today may not be a successful person of tomorrow, and their training may contain harmful elements that could destroy the nature of a child, says a signed article in the Yangtze Evening Post:
A child named March Boedihardjo recently made headlines. This summer, the 9-year-old child sat for 40 tests and was recruited by Hong Kong Baptist University. Due to this, he was given the title of "child prodigy" by the media, which triggered a national discussion.
March's case reminds people of a once famous child prodigy in the 1980s. Unfortunately, after growing up, this wonder child didn't achieve anything that was equal to the expectation of his family and country.
