    Default Devoted Chinese father carries his disabled son EIGHTEEN MILES to school every day

    Amazing story, it puts all the petty whinging that goes on in the West into perspective.

    A devoted Chinese father who carries his disabled son 18 miles to school every day will be provided 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.

    Dedication: Mr Xukang said that he refused to give up on his son after he couldn't find a school near where they lived that would accept him.He said: ‘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.’
