A Father Carrying His Son Seems Normal Enough, Until You Learn Why...And Then It's Tears All The Way

Yu Xukang is a 40-year-old father in the Fengyi township of Yibin county in southwest China's Sichuan province. Every day he puts his son on his back to give him a ride.

But unlike many fathers who carry their sons for a quick game of fun, Yu takes his son to school - over 4.5 miles away! Xiao suffers from a disability that caused both his arms and legs to be twisted and his back to be hunched. In the area of China where the two live, there are no school buses or public transportation options so the only way for him to get to school is on his father's back.
So far Xiao's father has walked nearly 1,600 miles up and down hills to make sure that his son gets the best education he can.
Despite being 12 years old, Xiao is just 90cm tall, and with his physical disability he can't walk or ride a bike to school.
Yu wakes up every day at 5am to prepare his son's lunch, then carries him the 4.5 miles to school. After that he returns home to work, and then walks back to school to pick him up at the end of the day.
Yu says that although his son is physically disabled, there is nothing wrong with his mind, and his dream is for him to be able to go to college one day.

Update: After this story was shared with local media, the local government announced that they would rent a room for the dad in the near future to help reduce the father's workload. Share this incredible journey with your friends and show the world that love really does conquer all!

The New Batman Game is "Batman: Arkham Knight"

Warner has released the trailer already; although it still doesn’t reveal much more than the original GAME leak. The footage appears to be pre-rendered, but with it being a next gen-only game you can’t really tell nowadays.
‘We’re excited to be developing the game for next gen platforms, which has allowed us to bring to life the design elements that we envisioned from the beginning such as the Batmobile and how it augments Batman’s abilities, to the fully detailed and realised Gotham City,’ says director Sefton Hill in the accompanying blurb.
As expected Game Informer has the official announcement, confirming the earlier details – including the fact that the game is next gen only and out this year.
There are few other specific details though, beyond that the game is set one year after the events of Arkham City and that Batman is at ‘the peak of his powers’.
A proper gameplay video is promised tomorrow afternoon, but in the teaser on Game Informer’s website game director Sefton Hill says, ‘This is the natural end for the story. We really want to go out in style’.

The next Batman game is by the original series creators and features an open world Gotham City with a driveable Batmobile.
GAME have accidentally revealed this year’s new Batman game, with an Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC title named Batman: Arkham Knight.
It’s widely believed that the game will be officially unveiled later today by American mag Game Informer (we’ll update this story if and when that happens). But most of the information already seems to have leaked via GAME’s now withdrawn listing.
The game is billed as the final entry in the Arkham series, which Rocksteady began with Arkham Asluym and Arkham City, and which understudies WB Games Monteral produced an unnecessary prequel to last year – in the form of the okay-ish Arkham Origins.
As the final part of the tetralogy Arkham Knight doesn’t seem to be a massive departure from the previous games, with no signs of the rumoured other DC Comics characters.
GAME’s blurb implies that the Scarecrow is the major villain this time, with Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn also confirmed. Harley Quinn is also pictured as a playable character in what look like pre-order exclusive challenged maps.
It now seems more obvious than ever that Warner Bros. is trying to turn this into a yearly franchise, likely with Rocksteady making one year’s game and Montreal the other.

But if that is the case it makes it harder to guess what next year’s game will be, if it’s not part of the Arkham series. You’d hope they’d finally try to broaden things out to encompass more of the DC universe, but then that was the assumption for this game as well…
