In the Chinese historical account from The Three Kingdoms, when a military captain was shot in his left eye with an arrow, he pulled the arrow out with the eyeball along with it. Instead of throwing it away, he said: "(What came forth from) my father's sperm and my mother's blood shall not go to waste", and swallowed the eyeball.

A sex slave is alleged to have been forced to eat her own son after he was killed and cooked by Isis fanatics, an Iraqi MP has said.
Vian Dakhill claimed that they served his flesh with rice after starving their victim of food and water in a cell for three days.
Dakhill told Egypt’s Extra News: ‘One of the women whom we managed to retrieve from ISIS said that she was held in a cellar for three days without food or water.
‘Afterwards, they brought her a plate of rice and meat. She ate the food because she was very hungry.
‘When she was finished they said to her and laughed: “We cooked your one-year-old son that we took from you, and this is what you just ate�.’
Iraqi MP Vian Dakhill also revealed that a 10-year-old girl had been raped to death in front of her sisters and her father.
Speaking about the girl who was raped to death she said: ‘One of the girls said that they took six of her sisters.
‘Her younger sister, a ten-year-old girl, was raped to death in front of her father and sisters. She was ten-years-old.
‘The question that we ask yourselves is: “Why? Why did these savages do this to us?�.’
Earlier this year a teenage girl who was raped by a gang of 40 men spoke about being beaten with cables after trying to escape Isis.

When governments fight, civilians suffer. Even before war officially breaks out between China and India, look at the online comments (below the article), Chinese bashing and Indian bashing has already begun. If war actually breaks out, innocent Indian civilians in China and innocent Chinese civilians in India, will be raped, beaten up and murdered. On a separate note, the China government really pushing their luck too far on too many counts and in too many disputed territories.

China is no dummy. If USA really launches a military strike at North Korea (increasingly likely as time goes on and Fatty Kim escalates matters), China isn't going to risk losing everything by defending North Korea militarily and going to war with USA.
China is preparing for a potential crisis with North Korea by increasing its defences along their shared border, including establishing a new border brigade and building bunkers for civilians, the Wall Street Journal reported.

He's right. The father was trying to be difficult, and is equally at fault as the China bus driver.
I would like to offer the other side of the story since I was on the bus and happened to witness the incident when it occured . As mentioned in the news report, it started off with a fare dispute between the father and the driver near Khatib. The driver mentioned that the kid has past the height limit which entitles for a free ride and requested that he should make the payments. The father refused and insisted the driver to communicate with him in English. Seeing the situation, one of the passengers actually offered to help translate what the bus driver is saying for the father, but the father told the passenger not to translate and it’s the driver’s job to communicate with him. I then decided to alight as the whole situation is holding up my time. From what I have observed, like many comments here were pointing out, the driver should have been better trained in his English proficiency. However, I think that’s where the driver’s fault end. By turning down other passenger’s offer to help him translate what the driver is trying to convey, the father was obviously trying to be difficult. If he had really wanted to solve the issue, he would have tried to communicate properly with the driver through the help offered, but he didn’t. Personally, I also think that the driver is just doing his job, and has the rights to refuse to continue with the journey in the event there is a fare cheat. And in this case, I do not know whether the father tried to cheat the fare, but one thing for sure is that this issue will be resolved faster should the father have co-operated and not try to be difficult and holding up the time of all the other passengers onboard.
