A Chinese school is teaching its boys how to be more masculine.
The Qinlinglu Elementary School in Zhengzhou, Henan province has launched a new scheme to encourage their male students to be manlier and less "fragile".
Discussing the 'Looking for a Real Man' initiative, teacher Wang Jianhua said: "During class breaks their favourite game is elastic band skipping, which is a typical girl's game. And the boys are very fragile. If we just scold them a bit they will cry out loudly."
Headmaster Cao Jianping is now hiring more male teachers to try and make them more macho.
He added: "China's one child policy makes parents overly protective and inclined to spoil their child."
