      This young man literally has his best friend’s back.

      For the past three years, Xie Xu, 18, has carried his best friend Zhang Chi, 19, to school every single morning and throughout the day as they travel to classes together. Zhang has muscular dystrophy, a disorder that weakens the muscles over time.

      Xie, who is 5’7, has offered his back to Zhang nearly a dozen times daily throughout the school year. The task is entirely a volunteer job, like bringing him all of his meals. But Xie loves it. The partnership extended into their schoolwork, as both of these young men are the top students in their class.

      “The story of the two students is so inspiring and touching. They aren’t family, but [Xie] has been doing this for three years. He’s the most beautiful student,” said Guo Chunxi, the vice headmaster of Daxu High School told local media. “He also exerts positive influence on other students, who readily help Zhang. With their assistance, Zhang has never missed out on one single class.”

    2. And also Xie is now ripped.

      Western health gurus are advocating the “Buddy” system for muscle gain.

      Now that’s something you won’t see in America.

      Ironic that the ccp doesn’t see fit to provide its disabled citizens with transportation like we do.

      Man what a great guy but all I can think is holy shit what a good workout everyday. That dude must be cut!

    5. That’s good that people adapt around limitations, and this happens a bit of everywhere, but 3 years without a wheelchair? He can still go with him but drive the wheelchair instead of carrying, so he can carry a backpack to actually have books instead, and help him surpass barriers like stairs.
      A second-handed cheap wheelchair costs like 20-70 €, surely families may be poor but not storing enough money for that in *3 years* and not even getting one lended by someone, I mean… If they were *that* poor, kids wouldn’t even go to school probably.

      So I think it’s a fake, randomly invented story, by just seeing 1 guy doing this once. Afterall, pics are taken during the same day (they are dressed the same way). Bs.

    6. Of course he got good marks. Imagine you literally carry your buddy through 3 years of school and they just fuck around at home, not studying and barely pass? I’d drop him.

      This is a very sweet friend. But also, was there no viable way for a student to attend school that didn’t involve making it another student’s job? Kind feel like the state, and to a lesser degree, the boys’ parents, let both boys down a bit.

    8. I mean its nice of the kid but just shows that the school is inadequate for people who are disabled
