White-haired 19-year-old devoted to sick mother

Most 19-year-olds are carefree, but this one has many white hairs from the heavy burden of looking after her sick mother.

Di Huimin, a college student in Zhengzhou, devoted her life to take care of her mom, who is in a coma, reported dahe.cn on Monday. She has to ride back home everyday to rub, clean, massage and feed her mother, then do her homework in a tiny rented apartment. She works on the weekends in order to subsidize family expenses.

She also needs to take care of her two younger brothers. Due to lack of money, she can only afford to eat steamed buns with salt. Because of lifelong malnutrition and hard work, her hair is white. Her dad works in other cities to earn money for their tuition fees.
