For 10 years, Luo Yu had to literally lean on his mother to get around. And on International Women’s Day, he decided to express his deep gratitude for his mother with some touching words.
“My benevolent mother, happy International Women’s Day! I’m truly proud of you,” wrote Luo, a bespectacled 8th grader at Nanping School in Yibin City, Sichuan Province, in a note he had planned to read to his mother Xu Guowen on March 8, according to Sichuan News Net, a state-run news outlet.
The note continued: “Mother, you are my legs, and I wouldn’t be able to study without you being at my side all the time. You never tell me if you tire … I will definitely study harder and bring you a good life in the future.”
