A primary school student's essay titled "My Dad Loves Playing Badminton" stunned the teacher—and quickly went viral across the internet.

My dad used to play badminton at the Nanjiao Blue Building Blocks Badminton Hall, but now he’s moved to the Dongjiao Xiguang Badminton Hall. Unfortunately, with fewer people playing these days and him being busy with work, he can’t make it to his weekly practice on time. I’m really worried about my dad’s health—without regular exercise, he won’t stay healthy, which could lead to illness. And if that happens, he won’t be able to work, leaving me without the money to pay for tuition…

If Uncle and Aunt don’t go play badminton with Dad, his health will keep getting worse—he won’t be able to work, and if he can’t work, he won’t earn money. Without money, he won’t be able to buy me delicious food and drinks. And if I can’t enjoy good food and beverages, my memory will start to decline, making it hard for me to concentrate in class—and as a result, my grades won’t improve. But if my grades don’t improve, Mom will scold me. And when Mom scolds me, I’ll lose all my confidence.

Losing confidence leads to poor academic performance; poor academic performance means you can’t graduate. And if you can’t graduate, you’ll struggle to land a good job. Without a good job, you won’t earn enough money. If you can’t earn, you’ll have no tax revenue. But without sufficient tax income, the country will face difficulties paying teachers’ salaries. When teachers don’t get paid, they’ll lose motivation to teach effectively. And when teachers aren’t motivated, it will ultimately harm the future of our nation. If the future of our country is compromised, China will find it increasingly difficult to take off—and the Chinese nation could even devolve into a barbaric, backward people.

If the Chinese nation were labeled as a "barbaric" people, the U.S. would immediately suspect that our country possesses weapons of mass destruction—and before you know it, the U.S. would declare war on China, triggering World War III. And once World War III breaks out, one of the warring sides would inevitably find itself at a disadvantage. Faced with this weakness, they’d resort to using nuclear weapons. But deploying nuclear arms would devastate the natural environment. As the ecosystem collapses, a massive hole would form in the Earth’s protective ozone layer. With that critical shield compromised, global temperatures would soar, causing the polar ice caps to melt rapidly. And as the ice melts, sea levels around the planet would rise dramatically—soaring high enough to submerge entire continents, ultimately drowning all of humanity.

Because this concerns the safety of life and property for all humanity, I’d like to make an urgent appeal here: Uncles and aunts who’ve seen this—please join my dad for a game of basketball! We can’t let the tragedy of Earth’s destruction happen!
