父爱与英雄主义

单身父亲每天背着残疾儿子走9英里路,只为让他上学。

让我们提前祝这位中国父亲父亲节快乐,他竭尽所能为身患残疾的儿子创造世界上所有的机会。

来自中国四川省的40岁单身父亲余旭康每天背着12岁的儿子肖强步行9英里(约14.5公里),只为让儿子接受教育。肖强患有一种疾病,导致他的四肢扭曲,背部佝偻,而且没有公共交通工具可以送他去上学。中欧新闻社(CEN)在给《赫芬顿邮报》的邮件中这样写道。

父亲怀着孩子

据《中国日报》报道,余先生为了养活自己和年幼的儿子,以务农为生。自去年九月以来,余先生每天早上五点起床,为儿子准备午餐,然后将身高约90厘米的小强放在背上的篮子里。

父子俩每天跋涉4.5英里(约7公里)穿越崎岖的地形去上学,然后余先生再步行回家去工作。这位尽职尽责的父亲之后会去学校接儿子,然后背着他一路回家——据CEN报道,全程18英里(约29公里)。

这位单身父亲估计,自从开始送儿子上学以来,他已经走了大约 1600 英里。

“我知道我儿子身体残疾,但他智力正常,”他告诉CEN。“然而,我在这里找不到任何一所具备接收他的设施的学校,而且屡屡遭到拒绝。”

小强被丰溪小学录取后,于先生发誓要尽一切努力确保儿子每天都能去上学。

他的梦想是让小强有朝一日能上大学。

父子俩每天往返学校的情况传开后,有关部门决定介入帮助他们。据CEN报道,他们同意在学校附近为他们提供一间小房间。

小强已经跃升为班级第一名了。

“我知道他将来一定会成就一番伟业,”他的父亲告诉CEN。

Could we get this kid to America for surgery? I am sure there are doctors willing to do their magic

Yes, I hope there is an update to this story. How will a room near the school help if the father must return home to work each day? Surely there is a solution to help. What a wonderful dad.

Thank you for this most inspiring story... to take it one step forward, what would be needed in order for buying a bicycle for this father and thus alleviate his daily struggle? I am sure many people who read this article will be interested in pitching in...
