Bsian is actually a thing. On Urban Dictionary at least.
It comes with an A+ definition: An Asian who fails at being Asian. e.g. An Asian who gets Bs in school.
Jokes aside, should we be concerned?
Growing up, I was forced to attend numerous enrichment classes and tuition for practically everything, and sometimes I would only be notified of a lesson a few hours it begins.
Chinese, Elementary Math, Additional Math, Science, Social Studies and Geography, even English too which didn’t last long because it was pointless. That’s all the additional classes I took throughout my Primary and Secondary education.
While these classes were helpful in some way, I felt overwhelmed. I recall faking illnesses and stapling my finger (might have been an accident, but my memory is not the best) just to skip one class.
P.S. Self-inflicted injuries are a little too much. 10/10 not recommended.
Throughout my academic journey, there were more downs than ups as I wasn’t the most studious person.
For that reason, I’ve had my fair share of failures and always dreaded collecting signatures from my parents for report cards and whatnot.
But regardless of my results, I’m glad all I received were endless nagging and the occasional encouragement to do better next time.
Some people are not so lucky though.
Like this (Bsian) boy.
Mom Lost It When Son Scored A “B” For His Exam
On 22 February 2019 in Luoyang, China, a mother left her son by the roadside after scolding and laying hands on him for not scoring an “A” in his exam. What’s worse is that this happened in public. Never air your dirty laundry in public.
Naturally, passersby were alarmed and notified the police.
It was then discovered that she expected him to get at least 95 out of 100, but he fell short of her expectations.
View the clip from Pear Video here:
The police officers successfully contacted the 12-year-old’s mother.
This was what she had to say.
“I don’t want him anymore. You can do whatever you want with him.”
To which, the police officer replied in disbelief, “You’re too irresponsible for a mother.”
The conversation ends with the mother saying “Exactly, I am irresponsible. You can sue me.”
After spending an hour at the police station, the young boy, only known as “Yang”, was picked up by his uncle. It is unknown if his mother is charged.
Tiger Moms
This is an extreme example of the Tiger Mom conceived by Yale professor, Amy Chua. A Tiger Mom is generally one that is iron-fisted and pressurizes their child to achieve the best results in school. Failure is not an option for them.
To better understand the concept of Tiger Mom and the adverse effects it can have on a family, I urge you to watch a Korean drama called Sky Castle.
It’s definitely not your mainstream K-drama with a predictable storyline that will make you cringe.
Sky Castle provides an insight into the lives of the top 0.01% in Korea: the wealthiest and notably one of the smartest.
The story revolves around families who want nothing but the best for their children whom they treat as their prized-possessions to uphold their family name.
Find out for yourself how far they are willing to go to ensure things go their way, often at the expense of their children.
To me, education is important but moderation is key.
Over in TikTok, there’s a drama involving property agents that’s caused by us. Here’s what happened:
