A father in southern China walked 800 km with his 10-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son to teach them resilience and determination.
According to Hindustan Times, starting from Shenzhen on July 17, they trekked for a month before reaching Changsha on August 17. Each child carried a 5 kg pack while the father carried 10 kg, covering about 23 km daily. He encouraged them throughout, teaching persistence, responsibility, and the joy of finishing what they started.
Though the children managed without blisters, their father wasn’t as lucky. His wife, who was worried about the safety and heat, admitted the journey changed the kids for the better, making the daughter less finicky and the son more independent. Wu said he felt proud and relieved that his children carried the challenge through till the end.
