A father goes back to school

A father has become a classmate of his daughter after they were both enrolled in the same major at Hebei University of Environmental Engineering in Qinhuangdao. Peng Xianghu, 51, said he will not allow his daughter to date on campus before they graduate. Peng, who quit senior high school to join the Army in 1983, later became a migrant worker. He said he failed to find a good job because of his poor educational background. So he decided to quit his job and go back to school this year.
