He Liesheng, or Eagle Dad, says he subjects his son to such activities in order to toughen him up because he was born premature. There was outcry over his former antics, with many saying his son He Yede, or Duoduo, should be taken into care. In this latest act, He Liesheng took his son and daughter to Japan, determined to climb Mount Fuji and make a political statement - that the Diaoyu Islands belong to China, [URL="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2215667/Rescuers-sent-save-Eagle-Dad-ignored-warnings-took-long-suffering-son-trek-Mount-Fuji.html"]the Daily Mail reported[/URL]. When he was told that it was off-season and the 3776 metre mountain was not open, He Liesheng and his children reportedly climbed over the barrier and headed for the top. Strong winds set in but they didn't deter Eagle Dad. It was only when Duoduo was crying and nearly collapsing from altitude sickness that his father admitted defeat, Daily Mail reported. The strict father had only bought a cup of water and a chocolate bar, [B]thinking there would be steps up the mountain and shops along the way.

Is that kids hair drawn on with a permanent marker?

That's sad and [I]reallly[/I] cheesy.

What a dumbass.

You must climb the mountain or you bring GREAT dishonor to family! Ho!

[QUOTE=Endify;37995535]Mt. Fuji is in Japan?[/QUOTE] I know I'm just clarifying why he might have thought that. He's Chinese after all.

[QUOTE=trotskygrad;37995579]I know I'm just clarifying why he might have thought that. He's Chinese after all.[/QUOTE] There *are* shops and steps on Mount Fuji. But it's off-season, so it's unlikely they'd be open, assuming they found them *or* the stairs.

Oh god, this brings tears to my eyes, and its not of pride.

Mt.Fuji was a bastard to climb, we had plenty of water and still struggled. Poor kid. PS : There are shops up there, depends what route. But it's incredibly expensive.
