Angry son breaks antique bowl

A boy in Guangzhou broke an antique porcelain bowl worth 1.8 million yuan ($262,000) after his father prevented him from playing games on his cellphone. The father, surnamed Liang, owns three jewelry shops and has an interest in collecting antiques. His 11-year-old son, however, had grown addicted to cellphone games, severely affecting his academic performance. Liang decided to disable all the games on his son's cellphone when he was asleep, but this only provoked his ire, leading him to throw a TV remote-control at the bowl.
