Its generally believed that woman her more caring and devoted to their children than the men. This story could prove such notion are wrong and give more kudos to caring fathers too.
A devoted Chinese father who carries his disabled son 18 miles to school every day as now gotten the attention of the government as he would be aided with government-funded accommodation nearby.
Yu Xukang walks the huge distance with his son, Xiao Qiang, strapped to his back in a specially constructed basket.
The 40-year-old, from Fengyi township in Yibin county in southwest China’s Sichuan province - 2,000 miles west of Shanghai - refused to give up on the boy now aged 12, despite the fact that both his arms and legs are twisted and his back is hunched.
He said in an interview with our source ‘I know that my
son is physically disabled but there is nothing wrong with his mind.
However, I couldn't find any school here with the facilities to accept
him and was constantly rejected. In fact the only place where I could
get a place for him was at the Fengxi Primary School in Fengyi township
in Yibin county in Sichuan province - which is a five-mile walk away.’ His has been separated for 9yrs from his wife when the son was just three years old but he said he was determined that the boy would not suffer from being raised by a single parent and he wanted to give him the best opportunity..
He said that he estimates he has walked around 1,600 miles up and down hills backwards and forwards since he started counting: ‘My son with his disabilities is not in a position to walk on his own and it also means that he can't ride a bike. Despite being 12 he's just 90 cm tall. But I am proud of the fact that he is already top of his class and I know he will achieve great things. My dream is that he will go to college.’
After the distance that Mr Xukang walks was revealed in local media the local government announced that they would rent a room to the dad in the near future.
