Zhen Xinyu follows her grandmother out every day to collect scrap Her father was seriously injured in a car accident a year ago and has become almost a vegetable, her mother went out to work and has not been heard from since. In order to raise money for her father's acupuncture treatment, 3-year-old Zhen Xinyu follows her grandmother on the streets every day collecting waste materials. She said: "Sell the bottles we pick up, then I can earn money to cure my father's disease, if my father gets better, he can send me to kindergarten." The two get up early and return home late collecting scrap to support the family. At 5 PM on the afternoon of August 23rd, at a fixed garbage collection point in Longtai, Ezhou City, an elderly woman with gray hair was seen with a young girl picking up scrap. They were meticulous, and before long, their snake skin bag was full of mineral water bottles and waste paper. Mr. Zhan, the boss of a nearby rice shop, said that the old and the young are grandmother and granddaughter. They are both from Tujiazhao Town, Liangzihu District. The old woman is surnamed Xie, she is 63 years old this year, and the little girl is Zhen Xinyu, who is now three and a half years old. Every noon or evening, Zhen Xinyu follows her grandmother around picking up scrap near Longtai. "The little girl is very sensible," said Ms. Chen, the boss of a nearby grocery store, "She follows her grandmother all day taking care of her father who is physically disabled level one." Now this family basically has no source of income, it can only rely on the grandmother and granddaughter picking up scrap to earn a meager income to support themselves. A family of three lives squeezed into a five square meter small house. Grandma Xie said that on November 11th last year, her son Zhan Xianfeng was riding his motorcycle back from Huangshi to his rented place in Ezhou after work, when he unfortunately fell at the Yanji section while avoiding a bicycle. After the accident, Zhan Xianfeng was sent to the central hospital of Ezhou for craniotomy. After the operation, he was in a deep coma for more than 40 days in the intensive care unit. According to the traffic police of Ezhou, Zhan Xianfeng is fully responsible for the accident. In order to treat her son, Grandma Xie and her husband borrowed money everywhere, spending 140,000 yuan on medical expenses. After being discharged from the hospital, it was determined that Zhan Xianfeng had first-level disability, he could neither speak nor walk, like a vegetable. Seeing her son's condition worsen, at the beginning of this year, her daughter-in-law went out to work and has been missing ever since. Hearing about an old private acupuncture clinic at Miao Geliang, in order to treat her son, in early July, Grandma Xie brought her son and granddaughter to Echeng District, where the three rented a five square meter room in Miao Geliang Village. "If dad gets better, he can send me to school" At the garbage pile, Zhen Xinyu put a mineral water bottle into the plastic bag in her grandmother's hand. "Pick up the bottles to sell for money, then I can cure my dad's disease, if my dad's disease gets cured, he can send me to kindergarten," said Zhen Xinyu in her childish voice, leaving the onlookers speechless. Grandma Xie said that seeing other children go to kindergarten with their schoolbags, her granddaughter often cried and wanted to go to school. Each time she would comfort her by saying that once her dad gets better, she can be sent to kindergarten, only then would she stop crying. "Thankfully, my granddaughter understands," said Grandma Xie. She has suffered from lumbar vertebrae disease for many years, each time helping her son is quite strenuous, her granddaughter would pull her father's clothes on the other side, and the two would help Zhan Xianfeng exercise walking. A week ago, after learning about the unfortunate circumstances of Grandma Xie's family, the Ezhou Disabled Persons' Federation donated a wheelchair to Zhan Xianfeng.
