Chinese mum ties mentally disabled son to herself while working, draws public attention
A street cleaner in China who tied a string from the wrist of her mentally disabled son to her own while she worked has gained significant attention on mainland social media.
However, this new-found fame has disrupted her life, as online influencers have flocked to film her, with many inquiring about the donations she has received, according to Fujian TV.
In early July, a video clip captured by a pedestrian, featuring a female street cleaner and her son near a popular tourist site in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, went viral during a heatwave that saw temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius.
