Recently, a video of a 12-year-old boy taking care of his paralyzed father has attracted widespread attention on social networks. According to a Beijing Youth Daily reporter, the boy in the film is named Guo Haoran. He is 12 years old and has just graduated from elementary school. His father, Mr. James Kwok, was unfortunately paralyzed due to a car accident. He was bedridden for 9 years and could not take care of himself.
When Guo Haoran was less than 5 years old, he began to imitate his mother and help his father massage his arms and legs. Later, he gradually learned how to cook for his father, maintain personal hygiene, and take his father to sunbathe. Guo Haoran also helped his mother with farm work, and opened a small “stall” on the roadside with his father to sell the agricultural products he grew. When asked about his dream, the boy said: “I want to be a doctor and be able to treat my father.”
Since he was less than 5 years old, Guo Haoran has been studying with his mother and practicing massage with his father.
Mr. Guo revealed to reporters that after the incident, he had to receive treatment in the hospital for three years, which cost more than 700,000 yuan (VND 2.45 billion). The huge cost of treatment wiped out all their savings and left his family deeply in debt.
After Mr. Guo was discharged from the hospital, his family bought a hospital bed to facilitate his care. In order to make a living, his wife, Ms. Wang Kunqin, left Taikang Village, Zhoukou, Henan Province with her husband and children, and lived a life of wandering and begging for two years.
“I have three children. The eldest daughter is 19 years old, the second daughter is 16 years old, and the youngest son is 12 years old. That year, due to family incidents, the children were greatly affected, and their academic performance also declined.
Guo Haoran used to like playing basketball and had a lively and cheerful personality. After my accident, he stopped playing football and spent time taking care of me. Guo Haoran goes to school during the day and helps with housework when he comes home. My eldest daughter and second daughter are far away from home and often live in the dormitory, so my youngest son stays with me most of the time. Mr. Guo shared.
The father and son opened a small “stall” on the roadside to sell home-grown vegetables and fruits.
Ms. Wang Kunqin said that after her husband’s accident, her family faced huge financial pressure. Because she has to take care of her husband, she can only go out to work on weekends. Her younger son was usually the one who cared for his father when she was not at home. The boy also often helps his mother with farm work, and takes the initiative to take his father out to open a small “stall” to sell home-grown vegetables and fruits, which reduces the family’s financial burden.
“His grades are always very high and he is at the top of his class. He just graduated from elementary school this year and will be entering junior high school in September.” Mr. Guo told reporters.
After understanding Guo Haoran’s family situation, the school waived many fees for him, reducing the family’s financial burden. The Guo family enjoys living subsidies provided by the government, and Wang Kunqin has job opportunities and a stable income.
The steel lifting frame makes taking care of Mr. Guo more convenient than before.
The video documenting Ms. Wang Kunqin’s family life attracted widespread attention after it was shared on social networks. Many people took the initiative to contact their families and enthusiastically helped. Ms. Wang Kunqin followed the advice and hired a welder to make a small steel lifting frame to facilitate the care of her husband.
When asked about the future, James Guo and his wife said that their biggest wish is that their three children can study well and change their destiny through learning.
