95-year-old mom takes care of son

A 95-year-old mother in Bozhou, a city in Anhui province, has been looking after her 60-year-old son for 40 years.

Xu Zhangshi, the mother, has five daughters and two sons. Xu Quanyi, her youngest son, has suffered from mental illness since 1971 and she and her husband have had to work hard to take care of him. In 1981, her husband died and Xu began to take care of the son by herself. The son's illness worsened with time and he became paralyzed in 1992. Even though the mother was about 70 years old, she refused the help offered by her other children and worked hard to take care of the son on her own.
