China mother, 62, carries paralysed son, 34, on back for years, uses walking aid to train him


A dedicated mother in China who is in her sixties has been carrying her paralysed son, 34, on her back for years, while helping him learn to walk.


Deng Guiying, from southwestern China’s Yunnan province, was determined her son, Cai Qinquan, would walk again after he had a brain haemorrhage that left him paralysed in 2019.


Her husband was unable to help care for their son because he became disabled following an accident.


Deng devised a strict schedule to feed and roll over bedridden Cai. She also created walking exercises for him before muscle loss took away his hope of living independently.
