Calm down people… I’m just asking people’s experience. Yes, my mom is a Chinese and she lives in Shanghai. She’s also sharing with me more videos just now about not letting lefty using right hand. She’s just trying to advise something good for her grandkid. I know manybeople were corrected to use right hand as the handwriting in Chinese and most of the world are designed for people using right hand.

Also found these two articles if people’re interested to read:

OP, you need to know that here in the states nuns forced many such children to write with their right hands.  I'm old enough to know some of these children.  Their knuckles were rapped by rulers that the nuns carried - or they were otherwise physically punished . . . so you will get a strong reaction out of people here who know about this or had parents or loved ones who were beaten for trying to write with their left hands.  https://phaylen.medium.com/the-children-who-were-beat-by-religious-leaders-for-being-left-handed-82e98a8048fe[/quote]
