An 8-year-old boy was so brave that he walked home for five hours along the streets of Beijing without asking anybody for help.

The boy caught the wrong bus on the way to meeting his father.

After getting off the bus, the youngster found he was totally lost and had no money to catch another bus.

He then followed the bus route and returned to his home at about 8 pm by launching a "long march" and walking eight kilometres from Chegongzhuang to Liupukang.
