An elderly man has touched the hearts of many residents in Haikou of Hainan province for pedaling passengers on a three-wheeler to raise money to help feed his centenarian mother.

Xie, 60, usually starts his day before 6 am and seldom stops working before 6 pm, even as he returns home to cook for his mother at about noon.

He now earns about 30 yuan ($4.4) a day by ferrying passengers and is the sole breadwinner for his three-member family.

Xie has an 18-year-old daughter studying in a local vocational school and his wife died years ago. He said he would never abandon his mother.
