A pair of parents in Taizhou, Zhejiang, China, recently shared their son’s birth certificate. The child is called “Li Bu Shang Shu”, which is homophonic “Li Bu Shang Shu”, which has caused heated discussions on the Internet.

The father of the baby boy revealed to Jimu News that his son is now over 2 years old. The name was first thought of by his wife, but his wife was only joking at the time, but he felt that the name “Li Bushangshu” was very distinctive and would hardly be known. Hit the name, decided to give the child this name. Unexpectedly, when preparing to register the child with a household registration, the wife hesitated, feeling that the name was too arbitrary. In addition, the elders in the family did not agree, but they have gradually accepted it over the past few years.

Why is it like this…” , “The child will resent his parents for the rest of his life”, “I can imagine how much this child will resent his parents following he goes to school”, “I just want to make myself happy, do you consider the feelings of the child growing up?”
