Web China: Unfilial son sparks public discussion on morality (2)

"I have devoted my whole life to bringing up my son. I can't believe he would treat me like this," Li sobbed.

Yang's behavior has angered netizens and sparked a widespread discussion on the state of morality in China. One media report about the case has been forwarded more than 1,800 times on Twitter-like Sina Weibo, with irate netizens lashing out at his disrespectful behavior.

"He doesn't deserve to be called a human being!" wrote Weibo user "buqieryu."

"This is unbelievable! How do you expect someone with low moral standards to be a good doctor?" wrote "yuanshanyouwu."

Since the case began circulating on Weibo, Yang has been suspended from his positions at HMU and the hospital.
