In China, the story of two brothers carrying their 89-year-old mother in a large bamboo basket is becoming a hot topic.
According to a Hong Kong South China Morning Post (SCMP) report on the 28th, brothers Chen Chuan (58) and Chen Li (55) were recently filmed carrying their 89-year-old mother to the hospital in a large bamboo basket on a road in Chongjing, southwest China. It became a hot topic online.

The brothers explained that the reason they moved their mother in a basket was because “my mother gets carsick and gets headaches when she sits in the wheelchair.”
It is said that these brothers previously brought their mother to the hospital on their backs or in their arms. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the hospital, and while looking for a more comfortable way to transport my mother, I ended up using a basket.

These brothers said that since they took turns carrying their mother in the basket, it took less effort than before and her mother felt more comfortable.
After working in another city, they returned to their hometown of Chongqing last year to take care of their mother every day and opened a noodle shop.
Chen Li’s wife said, “We have a duty to be filial. “This is our responsibility as her children,” she said. “Her mother took care of us when we were little. “When my mother gets old, we should take care of her too,” she said.
Their story received 1.4 million likes and 60,000 comments on Chinese social media alone.
