Recently, a video of a pair of extremely poor siblings in Lushan County, Henan Province, pushing each other to go to school attracted the attention of netizens.
It is reported that in their family, their father is disabled, their grandmother is paralyzed, and their mother suffers from mental illness. They live in poverty and walk six or seven kilometers to go to school every day.
The father of the siblings, Ding Baoping, is disabled. He has no vision in one eye and cannot see clearly in the other eye. Grandma is paralyzed in bed, and mother suffers from mental illness. The family lives in an adobe square built 70 years ago.
My sister said that he hopes to let his younger brother go to school because he is still young and go home to help his father work to support the family, because it is too hard for his father to support the family alone.
The younger brother said that he hopes to let his sister go to school because he is a man. I hope to farm well and support my family when I grow up.
Netizens are also talking about it. Some netizens said, "Isn't it nine years of compulsory education?"
In this regard, some netizens replied that "the tuition fees are free, but everyone People have no source of income..." "What is free is only tuition fees, and there are a lot of fees that are not available." "These two siblings are not only paying for school, they have a heavy burden on their hearts. They want to provide for their father. Let’s share it with our families.”
