Every afternoon, at a busy bus station in China, a heartwarming routine takes place
A 9-year-old boy waits patiently, his eyes scanning the crowd for his older sister.
The moment she arrives, they set off together — chatting, laughing, and sharing the weight of the day. Quite literally, as he carries her crutches for her.

The boy's 13-year-old sister, known online as Jiajia, was involved in a devastating road accident in 2016
According to South China Morning Post, her injuries were so severe that she had to undergo a partial amputation of her left foot and 12 surgeries on her right.
Despite these challenges, she remains upbeat, facing the world with resilience. And by her side, always, is her devoted little brother.
Their journey home is a testament to sibling love.

Their mother, who shares their daily lives on social media under the alias @Jiajia's mother, says it was entirely her son's idea to accompany his sister home
When he was younger, she often brought him along to pick up his sister. Now, as a primary school student himself, he insists on being her companion.
At home, his care extends beyond the bus stop. He fetches water for her to wash her feet, helps with her shoes, and even shares his pocket money.
"He's only 9, but he's incredibly considerate," their mother says with pride.
Their story has captivated millions online, drawing admiration for the boy's quiet, unwavering support.
"The boy has warmed my heart," one commenter wrote. Another added, "The world needs more stories like this."
