#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.
