Dying China mum entrusts disabled son to daughter, who resents him; kind brother moves her
Bad feelings fuelled by sense that cerebral palsy-suffering older brother was ‘family favourite’ dissolve in face of his acts of kindness
A mother in China who, on her deathbed, entrusted her disabled son to the daughter who once resented him has seen her faith posthumously rewarded.
Despite the daughter’s feelings, as time passed, her older brother’s unwavering love and care melted her heart and they became each other’s strongest support.
Han Tiantian, 26, from Tianjin, northern China, grew up in a rural family, according to the mainland media outlet Vikan.
Her older brother, Han Baofa, who is seven years her senior, has cerebral palsy due to complications at birth and struggles with walking and speaking.
Tiantian remembers how, growing up, all the family’s attention and resources were directed at Baofa.
