Luckily, a famous charity organization that helps find missing people in China found Xiao Huo and reunited him with his family.

However, contrary to the tearful and happy reunion that many people expected, the moment of reunion between father and son Tieu Hoa was full of tension and strangeness.

In the video shared by this organization, the father was so moved that he was speechless, but his son appeared uninterested.

The volunteers had to speak up and tell Xiao Huo: "Isn't he your father?" He just shook his head and remained silent.

It took some time for the boy to realize more clearly. When he realized that the man in front of him was his biological father, Tieu Hoa still kept his distance and avoided his eyes. For the past 8 years, his parents had been searching for him, but this late return was full of tragedy.

The charity workers told him what the family had gone through during the long search. They said his mother had become seriously ill and died due to grief and worry.

These words gradually changed his attitude. The father cried and hugged him, saying: "You are my son, let's go home!"

The video quickly spread on Chinese social networks, attracting the attention of many netizens in this country.

Many people disagree with Tieu Hoa's action of running away from home, saying: "Failing the university entrance exam does not mean that all doors are closed. This action really lets down his parents."

However, some other opinions pointed out the abnormality in his behavior and state. From his tired appearance, hazy eyes to slow reactions, many people hypothesized that he had suffered serious psychological trauma after the shock years ago.

This story once again evokes deep reflection on the invisible pressures that the young generation is facing in modern society in China.

This pressure comes not only from family and social expectations of academic success, but also from standards of achievement and ideal models that young people must follow.

In a highly competitive environment, especially in university entrance exams, failure is not only seen as a personal setback but also a disappointment to those around them. This can have negative psychological effects, making young people feel that they are not valuable enough or not worthy of their family's love and care.

Without timely support and empathy, these psychological problems can push young people into a state of isolation and disorientation.
