Renowned Chinese quantitative investor Ding Peng has come under fire after leaked chat messages revealed his controversial views on parenting. The messages, which went viral on Chinese social media, showed Ding encouraging his teenage son to engage in relationships with multiple women and father several children.
The controversy erupted when a series of screenshots from an online group chat surfaced, allegedly showing Ding expressing his unconventional parenting philosophy. According to the messages, Ding stated that he does not focus on his son's academic or financial success but instead encourages him to "be a player, have more women, and father multiple children."
"I don't push him to study hard or become wealthy. I just want him to have more women," Ding allegedly wrote in the chat. "Our generation worked hard to make money, so he doesn't have to. His role is to enjoy life."
The messages further revealed that Ding had provided his son, who is only in eighth grade, with a high-end smartphone and a substantial sum of money in his digital wallet. "When he was in elementary school, I gave him a good phone and topped up his WeChat balance so he could treat his female classmates to snacks," he wrote.
More disturbingly, Ding claimed that he planned to introduce his son to adult content and encourage sexual activity during his high school years. "I'll let him watch adult films next year. By high school, he should already be sleeping with girls."
These shocking remarks quickly spread across Chinese social media platforms, triggering an avalanche of criticism. Many users expressed disbelief and disgust at Ding's values, with some questioning how a highly educated investor could hold such views.
"His investment skills might be questionable, but his morality is absolutely bankrupt," one netizen remarked. Another sarcastically commented, "If you invested in Ding Peng’s funds, be careful—your money might be financing his son's dating life."
Others pointed out the problematic nature of his parenting approach. "He’s teaching his son to objectify women and avoid responsibility. This isn’t just bad parenting—it’s harmful to society," one user wrote. Another questioned, "How did a man with such a prestigious academic background end up with such twisted values?"
Ding Peng's professional background adds another layer of shock to the controversy. Holding a master’s degree from Southeast University and a PhD from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Ding has had an extensive career in finance. He has worked at various financial institutions, including Orient Securities and Founder Fubon Fund, and even authored a book on quantitative investing.
Despite his impressive credentials, industry insiders have cast doubt on his reputation. Some have suggested that he is no longer an influential figure in mainstream investment circles. While he refers to himself as the chairman of the "China Quantitative Investment Association (CQIA)," experts claim that major quantitative investment firms do not recognize this organization.
Facing intense public scrutiny, Ding attempted to defend himself, dismissing the messages as casual banter. "Men joke around in private group chats. Isn’t it shameful for someone to leak this?" he responded when confronted about the controversy.
He further claimed that his remarks were exaggerated and not reflective of his actual parenting style. "Of course, I don't really educate my son this way. But I also don't pressure him to be an academic overachiever."
