After finding a higher-paying job in his hometown, the Chinese man brought his sick father with him for the past 4 years to take care of him.

| Since 2012, Mr. Phung Mien Tien, 46 years old, has been taking his sick 69-year-old father to work at a toy factory every day because there is no one to take care of him at home. The father and son are from Dazhou, Sichuan Province. After many years of spending all his savings to treat his father without success, Mr. Tien had to go to Tuyen Chau, Fujian Province to find a higher-paying job in his hometown and take his father with him. |
 |
| Mr. Tien's father had suffered from a leg disease for many years, making it difficult for him to walk. Mr. Tien's mother died early, leaving only the father and son to take care of each other. The old man said that he had urged his son to get married many times and not worry about his father, but he always said: "Your father gave birth to you, gave you life, and in this life you must take care of your father." |
 |
| Mr. Tien rented a house near the factory to take care of his father. Every month, he earned more than 2,000 yuan (US$300), which he used to pay for rent, medicine, and occasionally buy meat and fish to nourish his father. |
 |
| Pickled cucumber and chili eaten with white porridge are the dishes that Mr. Tien and his son eat the most. |
 |
| Mr. Tien takes care of his father's personal hygiene and transportation. |
 |
| Thanks to careful care, over the past two years, the wounds on his father's legs have gradually healed. Every day, Mr. Tien has to apply medicine to his father's legs. |
 |
| Mr. Tien wiped his father's body. |
 |
| Earlier this month, the Quanzhou City Disabled Persons Association donated a wheelchair to the old man. Whenever he had free time, Mr. Tien would push his father out for a walk. |
 |
| Late at night, when his father is fast asleep, Mr. Tien has time for himself. He often goes online to read the news or play video games. |
 |
| "My mother passed away when I was 4-5 years old, and my father raised me alone. When I was young, I was very rebellious and often disobeyed my father. I also longed for a happy family, to get married, and to hold my wife's hand and push the wheelchair to take my father for a walk every day," Mr. Tien said, crying. |
