| Francis Ng's Son Feynman Opens Up About School Bullying After Graduation and Clears Up Belle Rumours |
Feynman Ng is celebrating one of the biggest milestones of his young life, but instead of simply sharing graduation photos, the 17-year-old chose to tell a far more personal story. The son of Hong Kong actor Francis Ng marked his graduation from Singapore International School Hong Kong (SISHK) by reflecting on the difficult years that shaped him, revealing he endured bullying throughout primary school before eventually finding confidence, genuine friendships and a healthier outlook on life. His heartfelt message quickly caught attention across Chinese social media, with readers praising both his honesty and maturity.
Many first met Feynman back in 2014 when he charmed audiences alongside his father on Where Are We Going, Dad? 2. While viewers remembered the cheerful youngster from television, his latest post revealed that life away from the cameras was far less straightforward.
As the programme ended and he entered primary school, he admitted feeling isolated after losing touch with friends from kindergarten and the show, leaving him struggling to adapt to an unfamiliar environment.
According to Feynman, making friends did not come naturally. He often found himself drifting during lessons, unable to settle into established friendship groups around him.

His form teacher even contacted his mother because he frequently appeared distracted in class. Looking back, he described those years as a period when he felt as though he had very little to hold onto.
His memories became even more painful as he detailed several incidents of bullying. He recalled having his thumb trapped in a toilet door, watching his schoolbag thrown into a swimming pool and regularly being mocked over his appearance and personal interests.
Rather than fitting neatly into the crowd, he felt different from many of his classmates, something he believes made him an easy target. School can be difficult enough without someone deciding your backpack deserves swimming lessons before you do.

Searching for somewhere he felt accepted, Feynman turned to online communities. Through the internet, he found friends who shared his interests and who remain close to him today.
He even joked at the time that the internet had become his real home, a comment that now reads less like teenage humour and more like a reminder of how meaningful online friendships can become when real-life support feels out of reach.
Things reached their lowest point during Primary 5 when he became involved in a fight with one of the classmates who had repeatedly picked on him. The confrontation left him with a black eye before a teacher intervened just as he was about to escalate matters further by picking up a chair.
Surprisingly, the story did not end with lifelong resentment. Instead, both boys eventually reconciled, deciding they had grown tired of repeatedly ending up in the teacher's office together.

By his final year of primary school, life slowly began improving. He formed a close friendship, discovered that classmates had become more accepting of his love for anime and entered secondary school with renewed confidence.
Later, an ordinary match of League of Legends unexpectedly introduced him to another group of online friends who would become an important part of his support network. Sometimes a random online game really does turn out to be more productive than awkward school icebreakers.
Reflecting on everything he experienced, Feynman said every person carries unique traits and hidden sides that others may never fully understand.

He believes the most important lesson is finding people and environments where individuals feel comfortable being themselves rather than pretending to fit someone else's expectations. He also thanked his parents, grandparents, teachers and friends for standing by him throughout the years.
When readers expressed sympathy over what he had endured, Feynman responded with remarkable perspective. Rather than dwelling on the past, he wrote that while painful experiences cannot be changed, people can change how they choose to feel about them.

He also admitted that many of the incidents were never included in his graduation reflection, suggesting there was even more left unsaid.
His comments also prompted renewed discussion about remarks previously made by Francis Ng. The veteran actor had once revealed that his son returned home with bruises after being targeted by classmates.
Rather than encouraging him to stay silent, Francis said he wanted Feynman to learn how to defend himself and face difficult situations with courage, believing resilience was an important lesson during childhood.

Alongside the discussion surrounding his school memories, another topic surfaced in the comments. Some social media users once again attempted to pair Feynman romantically with Belle, his fellow child star from Where Are We Going, Dad?.
However, the graduate made it clear he no longer wished to see such speculation. He explained that his closest friend from the programme was actually Joe and even joked that, if he really had to name someone he once liked, it would have been a girl from his kindergarten days.
Many praised Feynman for speaking openly about experiences that countless young people can relate to, while others congratulated him on reaching graduation after overcoming difficult years.
