Dai buys vegetables at a roadside stall in Central China’s Wuhan province on Jan 21. She has been preparing meals, washing clothes and attending to her mother since childhood. Several years ago, just days before she was due to sit for the college entrance examination, her parents met with a traffic accident, which left her mother with a bone fracture in her leg. At that time, she had to rush home to make supper after class and send it to her mother at hospital before doing homework. [Photo/IC]
