In the photo, Meng's brother Meng Xuanren, 11 at the time, was carrying a bedsheet made of bamboo fiber.

The two boys had different dreams. Meng Xuantai was eager to grow up, earn his living "somewhere outside the mountains" and support their parents, whereas his brother dreamed of going to university and "changing his fate with knowledge."
