According to Chen Li's wife, Zhang Qingrong, their mother usually refuses to visit the doctor when she is sick. On October 23rd, when the old woman said that she was feeling unwell, the siblings thought of using a basket to take her to the hospital.

"Previously they carried him on their backs without a basket or carried him on the way to the hospital," said Zhang. "He said he felt better when he was inside the basket," Zhang continued. The two siblings took more than 20 minutes to complete the journey."

Netizens in China were also touched by this video. The video was liked by 1.4 million people and received 60,000 comments on Douyin alone. "Perhaps this bamboo basket was used by their mother to carry these two siblings when they were young. The mother may have felt physical pain, but her heart was happy. Thumbs up to these two siblings!" someone said. "Their love for their mother is very touching! I hope everyone can treat their parents in this way," said another person.

Stories of heartwarming families often become trends on Chinese social media. Last year, a 67-year-old man was awarded by the government of Tianjin city in northeastern China as a good example of devotion because he had spent the last nine years taking care of his mother who was in a vegetative state until her death. Additionally, a man in the southeastern province of Guangdong received praise in September for washing and massaging his heavily pregnant wife's feet every night.
