From July 31 to August 12, a young man in Yunnan named Yang Lin took a tour of Russia, Estonia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland with his father and grandparents.
Yang Lin's grandfather is 86 and his grandma 84. His grandma had a stroke five years ago and is still recovering. To make matters worse, his grandfather was diagnosed with cerebral atrophy in July 2019. The octogenarian couple is unable to take care of themselves and must rely on wheelchairs for mobility. However, they love travelling and visited many cities both at home and abroad when they were still in good health. They wished to travel to northern Europe this year.
Yang Lin decided to help his grandparents fulfil their wishes. He and his father made careful preparations in advance. They took along more than 20 kinds of medicine for the old couple. They did not take much clothing for themselves. Instead, they filled their suitcases with adult diapers, clothes, electric hot water bottles and so on and so forth.
On the journey, Yang Lin and his father took great trouble helping the old couple on and off buses and carried them up and down steps. The alarm clock must be set so that the old couple could have their linens changed three times each night.
In this way, they travelled to six countries in thirteen days. Yang Lin and his father captured many memorable moments for the old couple in Moscow, Copenhagen, Helsinki and other cities.
Many people gave Yang Lin and his father thumbs up. A female member of the tourist group even praised their deeds as a textbook example of filial piety.
