最美爱心少年：六年如一日甘做同学的“拐杖”
They say anything is possible when you have a good friend to support you through tough times. A disabled boy in China has been able to go to class for six years without a problem thanks to his classmate and best friend who helps him every day.
Xu Binyang, 12, carries Zhang Ze to school come rain or shine on his back. The kind-hearted boy also helps his friend to fetch lunch and move between classrooms to attend different lessons. The beautiful friendship between the two children from Meishan city in south-western China’s Sichuan Province was reported earlier this month by Chinese news outlets, including Sichuan Online and Xinhua.
Xu, who is much taller and stronger than Zhang, told reporters that it was his pleasure to be his friend’s walking stick. He added that it wasn’t difficult to lift Zhang. “I weigh more than 40kg and Zhang Ze only weighs about 25kg, so it’s okay for me to carry him,” Xu said. On the other hand, Zhang said he couldn’t thank Xu enough for his kindness. “Xu Binyang is my best friend. Every day, he studies with me, chats with me and plays with me. I thank him for looking after me like this every day,” Zhang added.
Xu and Zhang are sixth-grade pupils at the Hebazi Town Central Primary School in the county of Qingshen. Zhang was diagnosed with a rare muscle condition at the age of four. The incurable condition caused Zhang to lose all control of his muscles in his legs. He cannot walk on his own. Fortunately, Zhang has been able to go to school like other children after Xu offered to help him as soon as they met in the first grade. Xu considered it his responsibility to help those in need. He said, “I thought if I didn’t help him, nobody else would.”
