A
story of two Chinese students has touched the hearts of Chinese
people. Xie Xu, an 18-year-old student in Jiangsu province, has
carried his classmate Zhang Chi on his back for the past three years.
Zhang has been suffering from muscular dystrophy which is an incurable
disease that gradually weakens major muscles. The pair’s classmates
said that Xie has not only carried Zhang from and to the school
but also from class to class. According to posts on Weibo, one of
the most popular Chinese microblogging websites, Xie also brings
Zhang all three meals every school day.
Guo
Chunxi, the vice headmaster of the school, thinks that Xie’s commitment
to his friend has inspired other classmates who also have helped
Xie with other things in class. “He is the most beautiful student,”
Guo said.
Xie and Zhang have managed to stay among the top of their class.
According to Shanghaiist.com, Xie has applied to the Nanjing Polytechnic
University, one of the top universities in China, and Zhang will
be taking the National Higher Education Entrance Exam in China.
