At first, she was looking for an effective way to slim her calves. She was 19 and in her final year of high school when she considered ultrasonic face slimming methods. She said, "Even if I go to university now, I will still take my mom with me."

When she was four years old, she learned to take care of her mother, using clothes to pad her mother's waist and helping her stretch her arms with her small hands.

In Shangyu, there are two well-known tales of filial piety: the legendary stories of Emperor Yu the Great and Cao E, who sacrificed herself to save her father. Nowadays, on the banks of the Cao'e River in Zhangzhen Town, Shangyu, another deeply moving story of filial piety unfolds.

When she entered junior high school, she continued to take her mother to school with her every day, supporting her mother's weight on her back while standing. After the high school entrance exam, she was admitted to the experimental class of Dongguan Middle School, a key high school in Shangyu City, and she still kept her mother by her side.

After 14 years of persistence, her mother finally managed to stand up... This extraordinary little girl is Cao Qiufang from Zhangzhen Town on the banks of the Cao'e River in Shangyu.

On her 58th day of life, her mother suffered from a surgical accident that led to compressive vertebral canal stenosis, causing her entire body to contract and leaving her bedridden. The family incurred massive medical debts, forcing her father to leave home to work.

When she was eight and started elementary school, since it was too far from home, she decided to rent a place near the school and take her mother with her. In third grade, to help support the family, she took on some piecework, sewing gloves after finishing her homework for five cents per pair. She also asked her neighbors for a small plot of land to grow vegetables for their meals. By fourth grade, the first thing she did after returning home from school was to use her neck to help her mother support her upper body...
