97-year-old takes care of paralyzed son

In East China's Anhui Province, a 97-year-old mother surnamed Zhang has been taking care of her paralyzed son for about 40 years all by herself.

Zhang's story was put online by domestic media three months ago, which stirred intense discussion. Web users from all over the country offered as much as 100,000 yuan to the poverty-ridden family, yet
were turned down by the mother despite her hard life.

Zhang has been hailed as a "heroic mother" by her fans.
