This is Taotao's first birthday in five years

In the deep mountains of xiqiuwan Township, Badong County, Hubei Province, Taotao (not his real name), who was only 5 years old, took care of his 76 year old grandmother alone. His filial piety moved the neighbors.

Recently, the author came to the home of Taotao in datuping village of xiqiuwan township. There is no decent furniture in the four simple bungalows. Tan shaogui, grandmother of Taotao, was lying on the bed and had just finished her meal. Dishes and bowls were still on the quilt.

According to tan shaogui, Taotao's parents are suffering from dementia and cannot take care of themselves. When Taotao was 1 years old, his mother was picked up by his mother's family, and his father is still at home. "I took care of my grandson when he was born. The child's life is hard." Tan shaogui's eyes are full of tears.

In October 2013, grandma Tan shaogui fell off the wooden ladder of the pigsty and suffered a fracture of her hip bone. Because he had no relatives to take care of and no money for surgery, Tan shaogui had been living with his bed since he came back from the hospital. Seeing this situation, 5-year-old 'Taotao' took the initiative to take care of the family. "In the past, my grandmother took care of me, but now my grandmother's legs are not convenient, so I have to take care of her. "Tao Tao" said.

Tan shaogui said that because 'Taotao' was too young to be familiar with housework, he still brought tea and water to his sick grandmother every day. He couldn't cook, and 'Taotao' made boiled cabbage. Several times when he saw that 'Taotao' was scalded when cooking, Tan shaogui heartily asked him not to do it, but 'Taotao' said that there was no pain.

The author saw that "Taotao" carefully picked up her grandmother's dishes and chopsticks, poured water, poured detergent, and washed the dishes & hellip; & hellip; because of the cold weather, after washing the dishes, Taotao's hands were as cold as stones.

Tan shaogui, who is lying in bed, said that the most worrying thing now is' Taotao '. He is afraid that he will die in the future, leaving' Taotao 'alone without any care.

After the story of "Taotao" taking care of her grandmother spread in the village, the surrounding neighbors were moved, and the villagers extended their helping hands one after another. Among them, a caring mother team composed of four self-employed households, after learning about Taotao's family situation, was deeply distressed. She bought clothes and schoolbags for Taotao, accompanied him on his birthday, and often went to Taotao's home to wash his hair, bathe and cut his nails.

Tan Cai is one of the loving mothers. She said that in the future, she will not only support the family, but also mobilize more people to help the family.
