William Lee's Daughter Suffers Influenza A Fever of 40.2°C for a Week—Rare Outburst Targets Selfish Parents

Singaporean mixed-race actor William Lee, who developed his career in Taiwan, has won countless fans with his warm and handsome image. After marriage, he became the father of a beloved daughter, Harper. Normally, he rarely shows anger in public, but on the 25th he unexpectedly took to social media, Instagram, to vent his frustration. He revealed that his daughter likely caught influenza A at school, suffering from a high fever for several days, which made him extremely distressed. He couldn't help but harshly criticize some parents for their selfish behavior of sending sick children to school.

William Lee posted a heartbreaking photo on IG, showing Harper weakly lying on the sofa resting, while he held an ear thermometer in his hand displaying a shocking 40.2°C. He wrote in the post: “Harper recently got an A at school. But not that kind of good grade. She got influenza A.” He said his daughter most likely got infected at school by classmates, and has already suffered a high fever for a whole week, with her condition being quite severe.

William Lee also revealed that due to her illness, Harper not only missed her exams but also couldn't participate in a long-awaited school extracurricular activity, which made him feel very sorry for her. He pointedly called out the mindset of some parents and couldn't help but get angry, saying: “I don't understand why some parents would let sick children go to school.”

He believes that missing a few days of elementary school, or even missing a quiz, is by no means the end of the world, but forcing sick children to attend school will only result in more students and teachers getting infected. He stated: “I know, not all parents will agree with my views. But isn't it obvious that going to school sick will just infect other students and teachers? If you really can't help it, at least wear a mask!”

William Lee finally sighed, saying that school is not only a place for academic learning, but also where children learn how to be kind and considerate to others. He called out: “This is the most basic hygiene etiquette. Life isn't just about studying and taking exams. School should also be a place where we learn to be kind and considerate to those around us. Can we try to get rid of this selfish mentality?”

Between the lines, one can sense not only his sadness over his daughter's illness, but also the anxiety and helplessness of being a father. The post quickly resonated with many other parents, and netizens left comments such as: “It's not just school, I even have relatives bringing sick kids to my house to play with my one-and-a-half-year-old baby—it's infuriating,” and “Wishing Harper a speedy recovery.”
