*Name and place deidentified*
There was a guy whom was born in China as the only child to his parents. From a young age, his parents spoilt him a lot. He was quite clever, but never wanted to do any homework. If his teacher tried to be a bit more strict with him, his parents would come to school the next day. At the age of 8, people ask why his parents would carry him around on a pole, when other children are able to walk. At the age of 13, his father died of liver disease. His mother would not let him do any work at home, and eventually passed away when he was 18 due to illness from overworking. After the death of his mother, he sold all his possessions and went to live with his cousin. He was recommended to work at a construction site, but quit the job because he could not stand the heat. He took up another job as a waiter, but was fired because he wanted other people to serve him. He later went to live in a village and begged for food from the villagers, but the food / raw materials offered by the villagers were often left untouched at his doorstep, because he was too lazy to cook it, or in the case of cooked food, wanted people to spoonfeed him. He never learnt how to do his laundry, and when his clothes become dirty, he would just throw it away and get a new one. When winter arrived, he would burn the items in the house to stay warm, even his own bed. This cycle of eating and sleeping repeated itself until one day his cousin who came to visit him with food found him starved to death, at the age of 23.
