Chinese Boy Is Abandoned By Mother, Man Steps In

Help From Others

The villagers left him alone while they tried to find another plan. For the time being, they gave the boy water and rice whenever they could afford it. The 5-year-old would cook his own rice whenever he felt hungry.

He had seen his mother do it plenty of times but he never managed to fully cook his rice. He was too hungry to care and ate, learning to blow on the rice to cool it down before he burned his mouth. The 5-year-old did what he could without his mother.
