BEIJING: Millions in China were deeply touched by a 12-year-old boy who ate his classmates’ leftovers so he could save his lunch for his mother, who has a mental disability.
Li Shibo, a Primary Two student from a rural area in central China’s Henan province, was discovered by his teacher handing over his canteen lunch to his mother, who was waiting for him outside the school gate.
