Mother teaches son with cerebral palsy in touching way: "Do not accept anyone's pity"

Famous singer Kenji Wu from Taiwan (China) just shared an emotional experience he just had. Kenji Wu was on tour through many cities in China, when he arrived in Hangzhou, he encountered an 18-year-old young man with cerebral palsy selling goods with his mother.

The male singer stopped in front of a small stall selling sausages and popcorn owned by a young man named Taotao and his mother, Yao Chunhua.

Taotao, despite having difficulty moving, was very patient when selling goods with her mother. Kenji Wu bought goods and paid extra to encourage the mother and son, but Mrs. Yao gently refused: "My mother and I don't sell pity, we only sell sausages and popcorn."

Faced with that statement, the male singer immediately changed his way of helping. He stood in front of the stall and enthusiastically invited passersby: "Whoever wants to eat sausage or popcorn, please come here and eat for free, I'll treat everyone!".

After Mrs. Yao and her son finished selling, Kenji Wu also visited their house and made popcorn with them.

During his three-day stay in Hangzhou, Kenji Wu announced that he would give away free popcorn to anyone who came to Yao and her mother's stall, saying, "Let's be stronger together and share the warmth." Many people came to Yao and her mother's stall.

After Kenji Wu shared the story on social media, Chinese media came to interview Ms. Yao and her parenting methods. Ms. Yao said that she is a single mother, in difficult circumstances, and her son does not have normal physical conditions.

She wants her son to learn early how to live independently and earn a living with a job suitable for his physical condition.

"I think that when I get really old, I won't be able to take care of my child anymore. So while I'm still healthy, I want to teach my child to stand on his own two feet, especially not to accept pity from others," said Ms. Yao.

Responding to the media, Taotao said: "I know when people come to buy things from my mother and I, they really want to help my family's life."

Many other netizens also expressed their emotion at the sincerity, enthusiasm and humane way of helping of singer Kenji Wu.
