#ChinaInPhotos# Nineteen-year-old Tang Wei from Xinhuang Dong Autonomous County, Huaihua, came to Changsha in Hunan Province with his dog Bobo to fund his upcoming vocational college tuition. Admitted for September entry, Tang faced a financially stretched family supporting his younger brother. Unwilling to be a burden, he arrived carrying just 2,000 yuan, luggage, camping gear and Bobo, a dog from his grandfather. Tang worked long hours as a food delivery rider, with Bobo always beside him. Unable to afford accommodation, he camped under the Liuyang River Covered Bridge. After locals discovered his plight, they donated supplies, helped source shelter and connected him with opportunities. His story gained widespread attention following media coverage. He was later offered a temporary safe room by property staff and a job with free board and lodging from a local enterprise through September. Tang is thankful for Changsha’s compassion. He intends to keep working hard to save for school, focus on his studies after enrolment and pay the kindness forward one day. #ChinaStory# #HeartwarmingMoment#

#ChinaInPhotos# Why devote a lifetime to guarding an ancient bridge? Wang Qixue, 65, has spent over 40 years repairing Luding Bridge, which spans the Dadu River. The bridge is best known for a pivotal battle during the #LongMarch#. On May 29, 1935, 22 Red Army soldiers braved enemy fire as they crossed the bridge’s iron chains and seized the bridge, clearing the way for the main force to advance north. Inspired by their courage, Wang vows to guard the bridge for life and pass on the legacy of the Long March to future generations.
