Our press (reporter Wan Qin, correspondents Jiang Hong and Chen Quanyuan) - Left-behind child Ma has been longing for his mother during the summer vacation. He resolutely decided to carry a map, clothes and other simple luggage, and set off on a bicycle alone, following the expressway on a thousand-mile journey to find his mother. On the evening of August 24 at around 8 p.m., highway traffic police patrolling the Huang-Huang Expressway in Hubei province spotted a thin figure struggling to ride a bicycle on the emergency lane. Freight trucks passing by honked their horns and swerved to avoid him. The patrolling officers immediately stopped the cyclist and inquired about the situation. It was learned that the cyclist surnamed Ma, from Wuxue, Hubei, is 13 years old. His parents divorced when he was young, and his mother left for a distant place, working in the coastal areas, while he lived with his grandmother. His father rarely paid attention to him. Only his grandmother and mother truly cared for him, but his grandmother was getting old and could no longer take care of him, while his mother was far away working in the coastal region.

According to Xiao Ma's introduction to the police, with the arrival of the summer vacation, the children around him were receiving calls from their parents working in the coastal areas, inviting them to reunite in the coastal cities. However, he had not seen his mother for a long time and missed her greatly. Not long ago, Xiao Ma unexpectedly received a letter from his mother who was working in Fuzhou, expressing her hope for him to travel to Fuzhou for a reunion and sending 500 yuan. After knowing this, his father forcibly took away the money sent by his mother as travel expenses. With a deep longing for his mother, and realizing that the summer vacation was about to end without a chance for reunion, Xiao Ma made up his mind to ride his bicycle alone to Fuzhou to look for his mother. On the morning of the 24th, Ma left a note for his grandmother and hastily carried a map, clothes, and other simple luggage, setting off on his bicycle alone along the Fuzhou-Yinchuan Expressway on a thousand-mile journey to find his mother.

After learning about Xiao Ma's situation, the police were deeply moved and bought him food. They also helped him contact a bus heading to Fuzhou.
