In urban china, where families are allowed but one offspring, single children are often spoiled. Not so for little Yiting. Regular meal times were enforced, and snacks--- the digestion of which, the parents feared, would divert blood from her brain---were verboten. By age 3, Yiting was doing household chores. When she sassed, she was made to write lengthy explanations of her behavior in a diary. When she had difficulty with calculation, she copied numbers from the chengdu phone book. “if we wanted liu Yiting to grow up to be an exceptional person,” write her parents, “she would have to be able to withstand great psychological pressures and physical trials.” So Yiting was assigned character-building tasks such as long-distance swims and holding an ice cube until her hand turned purple.
