In another bizarre story, Chinese parents have taken the competition to another level by injecting their children with ‘chicken blood’ to make their kids successful. 

The concept of ‘chicken blood’ is not new in Chinese society and this unproven treatment was in great use in the 1950s as people believed that fresh chicken blood would stimulate energy and Chinese people used it as the solution for various illnesses like cancer, infertility, baldness, etc.

However, enthusiasm for it died over the years and the term remained in verbal use and has come to a fad in the new age.

Now they are using it to be given to the young children of middle-class Chinese parents who want their children to become extremely successful in life.

According to a report in Supching, now the chicken-obsessed parents think that ‘chicken blood injection’ also enhances hyperactivity in children to perform extensively well in academics as well and in sports.

The report also said, “These 'obsessive middle-class Chinese parents' are doing everything to get their children a little extra as much as they can afford. For this, they are spending from 1//4 to 1/2 of their salary on their children. Some are even buying houses near schools in order to reduce the travel time besides getting their children a Chicken blood injection.”

This concept is also very similar to “Helicopter parenting” that takes place in the US.
