When you were a student, what did you do when you didn't do well in the exam? A man from South China's Guangdong Province, surnamed Chen, came across a girl who was crying and kneeling  in front of a statue of Confucius on Saturday.

Chen was sorry to hear the girl's words as she did badly in her exam, and thought it would let her parents feel disappointed. It was late at night, so Chen went up to comfort the girl and told her to go home as soon as possible. After talking with each other for a while, the girl said she was fine, stood up and left.

On the one hand, many netizens are worried about the mental health of the girl, suggesting her parents should not put too much pressure on their child. On the other hand, some people say that the existing social values should be improved, for it is not just test scores that determine how good a child is.
