Throw them off the dock and make them swim.

The father rides with a boy, the mother rides with a girl, and the guard with the criminal, as the number of boy(s) and girl(s) was never specified. Furthermore, even if there were multiple children, there was never a rule about the father or mother coming back with the raft over to the original side to pick up the other children as many times as necessary. In fact, they would need to do that even if there was only one boy and girl, since the raft cannot operate itself.

Took me about five minutes to get it.

I can't move any of them onto the raft. It's also all in Chinese.

Okay, I got it. The criminal has to go last. Very Confucian.

Click on the big circle with all the Chinese characters in it to start the game. Then single click on any of the people to move them to the raft. Then click on the red pole on either end of the river to move set the raft in motion. If the raft moves, then your move was an acceptable one that didn't violate on the rules.

Hint...
The criminal has to go first, last, and some in between.
