Her mother left the family when the accident happened.
For over two years now, little Jia from China has been caring for her paralyzed father. In March 2016, her dad, Tian, had an accident. The taxi on which he was traveling flew into a ditch at great speed. Since then, the man’s body has been paralyzed from the chest and below.
Gia’s mom, with whom Tian had been married for 7 years, left the family 2,5 months after the accident. At the same time, the woman took with her the eldest son – brother Jia.
“She told me that day that she was leaving for a few days with her mother. But she never came back, taking our son with her, ”says Tian.
So little Gia was left alone with her paralyzed father. At that time, the girl was only 4 years old.
Since then, Gina wakes up every day at 6 in the morning to give her father a massage – for half an hour she kneads his stiff muscles. Then he brushes dad’s teeth, washes him, and only then hurries to school. When the other children, after returning from school, are lying on the couch watching the TV, little Gia immediately rushes to the kitchen to prepare dinner for her father. And after feeding the dad, it helps him to move around the house.
While the girl is at school, her father is looked after by his elderly parents.
“I don’t feel tired looking after my dad at all,” Gia assures.
The girl’s father proudly says: his daughter shaves him best.
“At first I didn’t know how and cut my dad’s face,” recalls Gian. “There was blood flowing, but dad said he was not in pain. Now I shave very well. Even my grandmother says it’s very clean. ”
When Jiu is asked if she misses her mom, the girl replies, “No, because she didn’t want to look after her dad. But I miss my brother. We were very close to him. “
