cho trẻ em đi trại hè (trại lính) ko an toàn đâu...

One afternoon last August, Fang Qingqing received the call that every parent dreads (kinh sợ). It was an instructor (huấn luyện viên) at the summer camp her 12-year-old son was attending: Her boy was badly injured and needed to be hospitalized (nhập viện).

The camp — located in the countryside near the eastern city of Nanjing — was designed to give kids aged 9-12 a weeklong taste of military (quân đội) life. Each day, they would get up at dawn, clean their rooms, then take part in a range of tough activities: assault (đột kích) courses, long hikes (đi bộ đường dài), boxing matches.

These “character-building” outdoor adventures have become hugely popular among middle-class Chinese families in recent years. Fang, who hopes to send her son to an international school in the future, thought the Nanjing camp might help his application.

...the danger in this camp was very real. On the second day, the instructors ordered Fang’s son to scale a four-meter-high wall. He wasn’t wearing a harness (đồ bảo hộ). Before he reached the top, he fell hard, fracturing (gãy xương) his tibia (xương ống chân) and fibula (xương mác). He ended up spending three months in the hospital, and had to miss two months of school.
