CCTV News (intern reporter Feng Yuan editing and Yue): Recently, a video of "mother silently following her blind son to and from school" has aroused the attention of netizens. The little boy in the video holds the blind cane in his right hand to explore the ground, and the left hand carefully supports the railing, and when he senses that there is an obstacle in front of him, he consciously avoids it. When he was about to walk to the school gate, he turned around and waved to his mother, who was a few meters away, and said "bye-bye" to her.

The little boy's name is Pengpeng and he is in the fourth grade this year. He had been staying at the school until last year, when his mother made up his mind to let Pengpeng "go out and walk around more", and he changed from a residential school to a day school. In the beginning, because he was not familiar with the road, Pengpeng cried out in the street because he could not find the exit. His mother then walked the road with Pengpeng, telling him "what this place looks like" and asking him to remember how to avoid it next time. Pengpeng's mother told the CCTV reporter that looking at her son who was crying, her heart was "particularly uncomfortable", but she felt that she had to let go, after all, "it is impossible for me to follow him for a lifetime."

What makes her mother happy is that despite being born blind, Pengpeng is still an "optimistic" and "strong" boy. He learned to ride the bus to and from school by himself, and he usually joked with everyone. When he returned home, Pengpeng would also ask his mother, "Who are we to get home before anyone else!" ”

In the eyes of his mother, Pengpeng is no different from other children. "I wouldn't let him try it because he was a disabled person. I let him do everything and let him try. "Now, Pengpeng's things at home are generally done independently, and sometimes he helps his mother work.

Starting on February 10, 2020, Pengpeng's mother created an account on social platforms to record his life. In a video she placed at the top, Pengpeng jumped forward with a kettle, found the location of the water dispenser, crouched down, put his ear next to the kettle, listened carefully to the sound of water, and occasionally put his hand in to test the depth of the water. When he felt that the water was almost filled, Pengpeng closed the lid and returned the same way.

Pengpeng's mother watched from the side the whole time, letting Pengpeng complete everything independently. In the copywriting, she said to Pengpeng: "I was born a completely blind child, the moment my mother sent out, the tears could not be stopped, do you know? ”
